Bad news again for SMB. https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/smb-bad-luck-continues-as-terrence-romeo-hurts-ankle-in-freak-accident-a2437-20200221?ref=feed_1_sectionSMB preseason jinx continues as Terrence Romeo injures ankle TERRENCE Romeo is the latest to get struck with the recent string of bad luck for San Miguel as he hurt his right ankle during a tuneup game against Alaska.
The flamboyant guard just hit a tough leaner over JVee Casio just before the halftime break when he tripped on an exercise equipment in the baseline.
It's another tough break for the Beermen, which will already lost June Mar Fajardo for the 2020 PBA Philippine Cup due to a fractured right tibia.
There are 3 SMB stars already injured. 1-Fajardo 2-Lassiter 3-Romeo Another star being injured, knowing the stats Romeo is providing to this franchise, without Fajardo it's expected that he will bring good numbers as he is known to be a Legit scorer. It's not good for the team seeing one of those star are being added to their injury list and will be bench till prior advise from their doctors.

Hopefully this is not a serious injury like Fajardo suffered, if this needs an operation I doubt Romeo could ever play the coming conference and SMB's chance of winning will again decrease.

Baranggay Ginebra now is quite scary for all-Filipino cup especially when Jun Mar Fajardo got injured. Baranggay Ginebra will really make a huge work here.
Btw, speaking of centers; Christian Standhardinger center for NorthPort Batang Pier is also one of my watchlists, Christian Standhardinger on NortPort is pretty suitable and can play comfortably.
I'm an SMB fan but TBH, there is a high chance that Ginebra will win this All Filipino Cup and end the era of SMB in this Conference. With the loss of Standhardinger, include also what happened to June Mar, Lassiter and now Romeo who got a sprain when they are up against the Alaska Aces, I don't think that they are that strong enough to defend their crown and we also saw how Ginebra played last conference especially how Aguilar played. Even they don't have Slaughter, he is just a bench and he contributes a few on the team (for me). NorthPort and TNT are the ones to watch for right now especially NorthPort. CStand is playing well on his current team right now.

I agree, plus the fact that the Daredevil will now be added on Ginebra's force then I think everything is now even more possible . Hmm, looks like there's a new All Star Team in town lol. Kidding aside, let's just chill for now. It is still a very long journey for all of them. Ginebra's victory here is not yet 100% assured. Yeah! They look more composed right now but who knows they will have a big problem in the future.

Like most of the teams now, their problem are injuries so hopefully that would not happen to them as it's not really fun to witness players injured. In terms of chemistry, they are doing very well now and Japeth has really improve and he will improve more as he will play a lot of minutes this coming conference.

With extended minutes chances of having some health issues will take place, Japeth needs to have some balance minutes and the rotation should be more focused from the outside they've needed Japeth from both ends offensive and defensive area, the guards should score more to lessen the need for Japeth to contribute from the offensive stats.

It's time for Stanley Pringle to carry this team, I know he can do that with the support of his teammates, IMO, he is the most capable of producing good offence in the team as he is not afraid to attract the paint and that is the thing they should focus since GSM is not really a good 3 point shooting team.

He tried to do it when he is still on GlobalPort and he became a scoring champion too. He has the capability to do it and he showed it also last conference. He is a fast guard so alongside other guards like Tenorio, Thompson they can dominate other teams. Regarding the 3 point shooting, I don't see anybody of them who is good at 3 point shooting so I will agree with this. They are good inside the paint but not that good on the outside so maybe they can train on this.

Unlike in Northport, the Ginebra is more of a defensive team so we can expect they'll have an outstanding record this conference.

1-Fajardo 2-Lassiter 3-Romeo
SMB is now used to play without Lassiter. They already worked on that. For Romeo, he only played for SMB for 1 whole season so I think the adjustment will not be difficult as they will just shift their guards back into their usual roles when Romeo wasn't there yet. Only with the disappearance of Fajardo, I think they will make some big adjustments as Fajardo solely holds the Center position, unlike Romeo where there are lots of backups and replacements that can fill his position. The next conference now becoming a more competitive one. SMB's offensive strength lessens a bit but it doesn't mean they will be removed as one of the favorites.

Interesting to see if what adjustment they've bring for Stanley knowing that there's no BrownLee to help them from this conference, knowing the characteristic of Stan he can create plays if coach Tim will let him though it's still LA who will manage the game plan but if LA will bring the ball most of the time and allow Stan to make his move and go straight to the basket. All filipino conference is now unpredictable since Fajardo is not there to play for SMB and adjustments from different teams are showing no one knows who will dominate this season.

1-Fajardo 2-Lassiter 3-Romeo
~ Maybe we can see a more competitive conference right now without Fajardo . We saw how SMB dominate the All Filipino Cup winning 5 or 6 straight titles. With the absence of Fajardo too, now is the time for Tautuaa to step up and play like how he played when he is on NorthPort. Many are saying that the CStand - Tautuaa trade favored the NorthPort and I agree with that but I know how SMB will utilize and use Mo. The only problem I see with SMB right now is their 2nd unit. Base on their roster right now, their 2nd unit is worse than some of the 2nd units of some teams but their coach is an excellent coach so I believe that they will make a huge adjustments here and they are the defending champs right now. They will not just lose here that easily.

I am not seeing that problem, they have veterans who can provide some energy in the floor so i don't really see it as a problem. They will only miss 2 players at most which is JMF and Romeo (pending result). Don't worry they will be okay, they'll compete but I don't expect them to be champ without JMF.

Though he have a good skills but aging really be a question if how effective this extension after Slaughter's exit. Not sure if he can still gives quality minutes to rest Aguilar. With this stem cell therapy hope it will bring some good effects with Devance health conditions while playing.

With this stem cell therapy hope it will bring some good effects with Devance health conditions while playing. He is already aging, he will only earn small minutes but he can still be useful to the team, the reason why he is still signed by the management. That stem cell therapy is the advance therapy for athletes, eve in the NBA I think players also considered that, but Devance will not surely over exceed his stats, he will remain at par of his current stats.

Indeed, even he is not as stong as before, at least he still make ways to adapt like improving his perimeter shooting (do you notice it or it's just me? ). He is still definitely useful for the team and besides he already knew their coach than anyone else. Tim Cone got him wherever he go (since when they're on Alaska during the past) which only means that their player-coach relationship was already intact and that aspect of basketball is very important since it was a teamwork game afterall .

Veterans can provide guidance to the young players as well, his contribution to the team is very big and even playing with limited minutes only, he can play in crucial situation where his experience will be useful, just like mark the spark which was given a playing time in tough situation and he was able to change the scenario of the game.

I was browsing in the spin.ph site and I saw this news, so this confirms that abueva is still not available this Philippine cup too which made me think that the Phoenix will never have a decent chance of getting a championship. Calvin Abueva still suspended for 2020 PH Cup. Marcial explainsPBA commissioner Willie Marcial said Abueva is still suspended for the coming conference but he is still speaking with the controversial forward about the matter.
