2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

Breaking news about Jason Castro, he signed a three-year contract extension for TNT.
(https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/jayson-castro-signs-three-year-tnt-extension-through-2025-a1374-20221013)
He deserves it and probably he's seeing himself retiring for TNT and hopefully TNT will give him another opportunity after that, if ever he decides to retire.

He deserved this contract extension and I think this is the management's way of thanking him for leading the TNT franchise to countless battles and also giving them championships. It is also good to know that they didn't trade him for younger players like what SMB did to Cabagnot and Santos.

I thought that PBA doesn't have a scheduled game tomorrow as no odds are listed in my favorites bookies for PBA games but as I checked the PBA website, there are two games scheduled tomorrow, Blackwater vs Terrafirma and Ginebra vs Phoenix.

The amount is not stated I believe, it's not as transparent as the NBA but for sure it's still a good amount for a veteran and still the leader of the team. Castro approach in playing now is still very effective, he does not play plenty of time, they just save him for fourth quarter big run to win.

Yeah, the amount wasn't stated in the article but it should be a decent amount as it was Castro who lead the team in the previous season. Although they failed against the SMB in the finals but it was very evident how good Castro was, so it's a well deserve contract, hopefully he won't have injury problems.

Yes you are right that mate Jason Castro deserve that extension from TNT and without a doubt Castro can still contribute well in thief team like what we saw in finals vs SMB Castro doing well but when he injured then his play affect and now he is in condition then Then for sure a lot of wins he contribute under 3 more years contract. Also the good thing is what other user here said that TNT give a good offer compare to other because like what SMB team did they trade their veteran players to the younger one in order to have a good lineup always.

Just for my opinion, the contract extension means that he will get the PBA max amount, and he deserves it, the Blurr did everything for this team after Alapag he lift this team sadly to say that when it is his time Junemar dominated the league, the MVP awards mostly been rewarded to Fajardo again as for personal take Castro should win some of it as the level of his game was also on his prime just happen that Fajardo wins the voting body.

Who knows, maybe for that long 3 year's extension Castro may be able to win one.

Right! He has contributed a lot to the TNT franchise and no one can deny that fact. He should have given lots of opportunities after his contract and serving the franchise for so many years.

I thought that PBA doesn't have a scheduled game tomorrow as no odds are listed in my favorites bookies for PBA games but as I checked the PBA website, there are two games scheduled tomorrow, Blackwater vs Terrafirma and Ginebra vs Phoenix.

Yes, there is. Usually, the schedules are Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Sometimes one day is skipped.

That’s a good contract even though Castro is claiming to be too old for that opportunity, I can still see his desire and composure on every game which we already know how he plays the game. Retiring with TNT is also good, he has been part of the team for years already since 2008 I believe until now, that’s what we called loyalty and he really deserve that.

He may be aging but we can still see how productive he is. He is still the leader of the team, and he can still close games when their younger stars are not performing well. So, he deserves that contract.

Who knows, maybe for that long 3 year's extension Castro may be able to win one.

If he continues to be aggressive and performs at high intensity, why not. He is still a vital part of the team and as we saw last conference, he still has what it takes to be an MVP. If he does not get injured, he can is still a candidate for MVP.


I read that June Mar Fajardo is injured and will miss a few games. Do you think he will be playing against the bay area dragons? I am anticipating that game and wanted to see how he will match up against the big men of the Dragons. It is bad timing that he got injured before that game.

There’s still a year before his current contract end but Castro decided to already accept the offer, this could be the last contract for him but at least, we can still see him playing for the next 3 years. TNT really don’t want to give up Castro, he can still play and perform good plays that’s why he really deserve it. Castro is still a gold for TNT, I believe he can still do more.

SMB should be more prepared for this match up and I think they can't afford to lose Fajardo, they need his strength and height so let's see if JMF will really play or will have a rest for now. Bay Area is more eager to bounce back and win again, SMB should anticipate this and don't take anything for granted. I think it's not a serious injury, they can work with that or let's just see if SMB can really have a good game even without JMF.

If I'm SMB though, i will have to sit JunMar Fajardo on this game, yes he is playing good this year, but nevertheless, he is not getting any younger. So the best thing for him is to take a rest and observed that injury.

And again, I know that this is short cup, but they should look at the future and not risk playing JunMar to get just one win here.

As for Castro, yeah, it was a good offer and decision for him to stay with TNT and this could be his last stint and maybe retire his career with the team.

As far as I know, JuneMar Fajardo is now ruled out*** for SMB against the Bay Area Dragons.

Really an unfortunate thing that happened as I want to see how the full SMB team will compete against the Dragons.

A bad timing now that Fajardo is seems returning to his MVP form, especially last conference.

SMB have no more choice but to deal with it, they should adjust their gaming strategy and put someone that can put the defensive plays of JMF.
Bay Area might see a good advantage here over SMB but they should also not take that for granted because SMB is a champion team.
SMB should also activate their import, they might be able to compete with Bay Area on a close scoring game. We will find this out!

Well-deserved contract extension after how he played in the PBA Finals despite of having an injury.
I mean he is the captain of the TNT, and he is like the centerpiece of the team. Without him, the team will be completely different.

I guess he will retire as a TNT player. He will be 39 years old after the contract and maybe he can still play one more year after retiring or he might be given a contract but now under the coaching staff. Who knows but I still see him as a good player still until now. I just hope that in these 3 years, he will get another title.

Nothing but to try competing SMB still have that capability even without Fajardo, they still got everyone who can explode and produce decent numbers, I see your point with SMB's import he needed to step up and try lifting the whole team, without Fajardo the rotation might change I mean the ball rotations and the system which mostly focus with Fajardo.

Now, all those explosive guards are needed to make something, or, it is also possible for SMB to let this game go as there are still many games to win before the second round.

But, I'm still rooting for my favorite team to play tough and try to win this game against the visiting team.

2nd game will be Ginebra vs Phoenix, Ginebra is currently -8.5. For me, the spread is quite high but still very attractive as a strong Bay Area beat the Phoenix by 10 points, so Ginebra might win with a double-digit as well. That's all for the last game, place your bets guys and good luck to us.

I will take that as well, they are coming from a big win, so they have oozing confidence going to this game. Import to import match up. Import to import match up, still Brownlee has the edge, so Phoenix is not going to be a problem for Ginebra, while they are winning, it's always good to back them, let's just hope it will still be another blowout win.

Yes, he deserved it, we all know how good and hard-working Jason Castro is. I can still remember how he had performed last season in the finals for their last game. As much as we want to see him nailing the championship but it's not just enough.
What I'm thinking is that, when he retires, he'll be taken as part of coaching.

If he wasn't injured, the series would be more fun to watch. About the coaching job, well, if he has that passion, then most likely he will become a coach, part of the coaching staff I mean. Jayson also has a business, so he could also focus on his business after retirement.

What an upset, after Ginebra beat Bay area Dragons, now they lose to the Phoenix.

Best player of the game is Tyler Tio, I think this is his 2nd player of game award, and as a rookie, this guy really deserves the recognition.
Ginebra is very unpredictable now, they already have two losses this conference so far, can we still expect them to be a great contender of a championship?

That upset gave me a good winning tonight.



I'm with Ginebra in this game, but since i was not able to bet on pregame, I just took a live bet on the other side. Not even watching this game as I was thinking Ginebra will just dominate, and that upset happened.

As of my observations based on their previous matchup with ginebra, this season are need more adjustment and good timing as we saw ginebra vs Bay area Dragons then we can say that they are strong enough to face other tough team but now as we all know that Phoenix is not a tough team but They loss. So ginebra need to take an action about this. Honestly I do believe that ginebra will go up to the semi for this season.
