Caguioa returning to Ginebra for 1 more season

What can you say about the news?

The veteran still want one more shot, playing for his last season in the PBA before he retires, hopefully he will be given more minutes because there's still a sparks from him. "mark the spark" 

I'm not a hater but finally he's going to retire. He should have done it earlier. He already prove himself many times. Give him more minutes? why not, their management will allow it, maybe as a sign of respect for his contribution in their team but in close game, that's a different story. He's old, I doubt he can produce enough points especially in a close game. The hype about mark the spark isn't enough to boost him up, remember we are in reality not in anime.

Amen  . Yup, i agree with you. More minutes only in blow-out games but in close games i don't think coach Tim will field him.

Don't know why he's still playing at the moment, his partner Helterbrand already retired in the PBA, maybe he got financial need that needs to be address and the SMB management give it to him. In my view, the Kings does not need his service anymore, he is seldom used, this is some sort of a payback to what he have done to the Barangay that the management still give him that one year contract.

He can still contribute to the team.

He played good as a bench player and he still has his speed although not as quick as he is years ago but what is important is he is contributing in the team with his veteran experience . We saw Asi still playing although limited minutes at the age of around 46 (I think not sure). He is 40 years but he can still tutor those young players in their team.

To be honest, I'm thinking that he will be an assistant or he will have a position in the Ginebra management after his retirement .

Not all the players have a coaching capability, playing and coaching is really different and I don't see him coaching games yet so that possibility is quite low.

Ginebra wants to naturalize brownlee to boost their chance in the all Filipino.

[Finestream]

Most of the news in PBA are just about the 2 best teams, the Ginebra and the San Miguel Beermen.

Beermen ready for PH Cup challengers
I'm glad that coach Austria consider Gins as a strong team, both teams will have a good chance to play in the finals this coming all Filipino cup, what they need to do is just to finish either 1st and 2nd, and win every matches so they will face in the Finals.


Araña back where it all started as he rejoins ROS on short-term contract

This ALL FILIPINO conference will be also exciting since we will able to see some actions with local players only.
Speaking of Baranggay Ginebra as a strong team, I don't really think if they will able to get another ring for this ALL-FILIPINO conference. If I would choose between San Miguel Beermen against Baranggay Ginebra, I'll go with San Miguel Beermen.
Hoping to see some new faces on finals this ALL-FILIPINO cup, like new teams in the championship, no more Baranggay Ginebra or San Miguel Beermen, in short, San Miguel products

it's been the SMB who are dominating the all Filipino cup in the past because they have great players and they have Fajardo who are unstoppable in the inside. Fajardo's contribution to the team only decreases when there are import since the offense are focus on the import, but now, we will see him producing points again, a double double for him in every game is just a minimum since he is also beast in rebounding.

I've got a feeling that Ginebra won't make it to the semis this Philippine Cup and also my gut tells me that the Finals would be between the Northport and SMB considering that Cstand will still be with the Batang Pier as there are rumors that he will be traded to either Magnolia or Ginebra.

I admit that i'm bored seeing the Beermen in the All-Filipino Finals but other teams must come up with a good defensive ploy to stop the Kraken but on the other hand i'm happy that a pure bred Pinoy dominated the PBA for this long.

Magnolia also good in all Filipino cup, but they'll have to double Fajardo in the paint and that gives the SMB's 3 point shooters to generate points.
SMB's plays are very common and predictable, but in the past all Filipino cup, no team has stopped the Kraken yet.

I don't want to admit that you're opinion is so accurate but in reality it's so true. Ginebra can't become champions in All Filipino Cup, and at the aame time they always bring home the bacon when Brownlee was there. What does it mean ? I'm a Ginebra fan but I sometimes I can't help but to think that Ginebra only depends on JB on getting a trophy. Hahaha, maybe just a coincidence tho.

Anyway, you said there are rumors that CStand might be trade to Ginebra. Nice! If this will do come true then I may say that they're now match with SMB .

It would be nice to see Northport go in the Finals. They would be a fresh face. Sometimes I am already tired of watching the same teams competing in the finals: SMB, Ginebra, Magnolia, etc.

Tim Cone should make it his goal to at least win 1 All-Filipino cup championship. I think it will not be that hard considering the talents he have in his lineup right now.

[Heartilly]

As usual in Philippine Cup, SMB again at the finals for sure. They are now in the 5th consecutive champion for this conference.

And on that last 3 season, only SMB teams played at the finals, SMB, Magnolia and Ginebra which I found boring.

I hope a non-SMB team will be on the finals this time like what Alaska did for 2 seasons on which they gave SMB a Game 7 match consecutively.

Tim Cone and his team must, because it's a little bit embarassing for them that some people out there (especially the haters) think they are just an "import-dependent" team .

I really hope Dillinger will be a great help for them because he is the newest reinforcement. I'm sure everybody is also counting on him so he should perform really well .

Dillinger  already has past his price IMO, if there's something that is needed to step up and carry his team to a win, it should be Stanley Pringle as the Gins traded 3 players (Solomon Mercado, Jervy Cruz, and Kevin Ferrer) for him.  https://www.rappler.com/sports/by-sport/basketball/pba/249602-stanley-pringle-the-difference-for-ginebra-tim-cone

Pringle has to prove that the decision of the Ginebra is right.

[NavI_027]

Dillinger  already has past his price IMO,

How do you say so? Because of his injury? Well, you might be right on that but for now let's see him play more first . Who knows? Maybe his past injury will inspire him to push harder.

if there's something that is needed to step up and carry his team to a win, it should be Stanley Pringle as the Gins traded 3 players

He is doing it already in my opinion. Look on his stats and contribution on Ginebra, it's very significant. Ginebra can reallyrely on him especially with clutch plays. Actually, I think he is now more deserving to replace Tenorio in First 5 pickings .

Though he's good on his prime but he's already aging and came from injuries I don't know if how he can be a good reinforcement same alike with how Pringle where he's been acquired on his prime so his addition really being worthy for GSM. it will be test this coming all filipino cup let see if Dillinger can still played the way he used to be.

I remember the time when I usually watch and wait every day for games in TV5, I usually bet in San Mig Coffee, that is my favorite team way back before, but as of today, Philippine basketball is still a main trend that we should take advantage into betting who will win every game. Basically, with allot of involvement of the people in it, it could remain in mainstream and I hope we could also have system for betting in PBA cup online.

Even today, SMB is still the favorite team in most of the games they played, so that means a lot of people are still betting on them.
Before, when I was not introduce to crypto online gambling I don't bet on these games, just watch it then that's it, now it has become more exciting as anytime we can bet on the games and it's more predictable compared to the NBA games based in my experience.

Exactly, SMB will remain the favorites as long as Fajardo is playing well, they have the best player in the PBA so they have a big chance of winning every games. Actually if not because of their problem on their import, they might become a contender in the PBA finals last conference.

It's very rare not to see the SMB in the finals but I am pretty sure they are the strongest team in all filipino cup.

Betting on PBA is not bad at all but I am doubting the credibility of this league since most stronger teams will bring the best players in their side. Like what SMB did to most of the best players in the league which outbalanced the team build up. Anyways, even I was doubtful I was still betting on this league but mostly I bet on SMB teams when it comes to playoffs.

I don't think it's outbalance, take off Fajardo to the SMB and they will not be the number 1, actually it's only Fajardo who are making SMB looks unbeatable and being him as the highest paid player in the PBA, that only tells us he is the best player and whichever team he plays, he can transform that team in a good team.
