COLUMN: Are fans wrong to hold PBA stars to high standards?
Yes, we are wrong because we think they are a perfect model to follow. They are just humans, they make mistakes as we do, so we have to understand them. These 3 in this column are the most popular as they made mistakes, but at the end of the day, they are just human. Their job is to only entertain us, their personal life is their own. I too was surprised with this news and I'm confused why Scottie was trending last time and I just didn't care when I've seen it on Twitter. But after a few days, I've started to look at what's with him and then I already understood that he had his wedding with a different girl. The girl that he proposed, she's not the one that he had vowed to be with her for the rest of his life. Well, this is a personal matter and it is his life and whatever is the issue on him and with these two girls, it's on him. In a marriage, a guy has to choose the right woman and it doesn't matter if they were together for so long if they are not compatible, for sure, Scottie has his reasons behind and he can keep it himself to protect his privacy. People are just trying to make it a public issue when it's just a family issue, and they deserve to have privacy as they are just humans like us, it's their right. Yep, we'll never know the real reason with that twist but it's his life but I've been reading those fans that are disappointed with what he had done and he has hurt Pau. But that's it, things have already quite calmed down and Pau is trying to move on and the fans must move on too. I guess this incident had lost fans who sympathize with him and now look down on him and won't follow him anymore. As for the PBA update, I've read that some rules for the PBA players have changed already and the max contract is now eligible for the rookies. This is just a post that I've read and there's no official announcement yet.

It's been mentioned before in this thread that the only way the PBA will be able to stop the young prospect from playing abroad is if they will give a competitive salary, and it happened very fast and it's really timely, otherwise, PBA will not have the best players and will be boring. Thanks to Ravena, he was really the first one who started this.

The PBA are concern on its future now, I don't know how much is the salary of the rookies, but increasing it would really help them to be more motivated and we will see more potential talents working hard to get drafted in any PBA team.

Or also, they are targeting those young gilas cadets after seeing them play PBA wants to bring decent offer for them to consider playing at home instead of trying to compete overseas. It's a good and blessful news for PBA aspirant since the offer is now more competitive and they are not locked without any other options, that Ravena thing really open doors to every pinoy young stars, expect more news after this season is formally open, night bot just the rookies but also those PBA stars who also been eyed by foreign leagues, who knows right?

Thanks to Ravena, he was really the first one who started this. I agree, if there are no offers abroad, they won't change the salary cap for the rookies. They're going to be out of rookies if most of them will be scouted by abroad Scouters from other leagues. The PBA management probably is thinking before that they're already superior and players will keep on chasing them but no way this time. There are other leagues that they might play and that's going to be once in a life time opportunity for which they shall accept first the offer abroad and can always be back in PBA as long as there's no breach of contract and they are clear with their records for them to easily be back there.

I wonder how the overseas team will react, will they increase their offer too? I think they can do that since they are a big country with a good economy, so they can compete with the salary the PBA is giving to their players. Anyway, I think I will not think about that now, lets just give that job for the PBA management to figure out what to do to keep their players and make Philippine basketball as competitive one.

Philippines and Serbia will play tomorrow I guess.
I just check the betting line and the Philippines is currently +30.5 with 1.90 odds.
According to the schedule in my bookie, the game will start on JUL 01 02:15, I think this is early morning in Philippine time.

Looking at it in a different perspectives, if players from PBA continue are allow being pirated outside the country its gives new aspiring players to step up and showcase their skills, I follow your sentiments what this two brothers did are the faces of reality inside this league, the amount of compensations are far lower than those offers abroad. If chance permits them, players who wanted to have a much decent future will grab this kind of opportunities, knowing that they are not going any younger and decent savings are better than anything. The problem of low compensation in this country is because there's not a strong laws that supports our athletes and our employment laws are not worker friendly, that's why businesses are able to exploit the workers. If both wasn't the case, we would see something different. Also worth mentioning that besides a greener pasture outside the country, they will be much more famous than they are in their own country.

Another great game from this young gilas cadets, managing to cover that huge handicap, 83-76 gilas almost tied the game in the last quarter, sad to say that I'm just monitoring the score from Stake but didn't have the chance to watch the live game.. But even so, still picturing how this young guns really tried all their best just to prove that bookies assessments is not accurate, pinoy pride shows how they really improve the system here in our country. Even they've lose this game, they already gain respect which really important playing internationally. Congrats!

I can't believe it ended as a close match, I was just reading some comments and it says that the Philippines were up in the game but they lose in the end. Still, bookies are even giving them a 30 points handicap and yet they just ended the game with a single-digit loss. I'll just watch the highlights to see how the Philippines gave a good fight.

With the game that we had today was super great and beyond the expectation of many, compare to the last match between Serbia and Gilas, I believe we still have a chance to win agains Dominican, we have a good players already playing in the court and we hope to see a more exciting game. This is the best Gilas team I’ve ever seen, I’m so excited for more games with the current roster.

So true! I'm happy that they've done better and they've managed to show good performance against Serbia. It's a no-brainer that Serbia is one of the best teams ever and Gilas showed that Serbia shouldn't be confident with them. With the game that we had today was super great and beyond the expectation of many, compare to the last match between Serbia and Gilas, I believe we still have a chance to win agains Dominican, we have a good players already playing in the court and we hope to see a more exciting game.

That is no doubt. We have the chance to win against the Dominican Republic and Serbia won against them too. In this battle of the teams that have lost against Serbia, I think Gilas can do better than DR since the confidence that they've gained through Serbia can also be done with them.

Let's hope that bookies would still give a high handicap for the Gilas so they can cover it in case they will lose the game. It was really beyond our expectation, they keep surprising us because even the Filipino Fans still do not fully believe that this young Gilas lineup is better than the PBA lineup we had before. I'm looking forward to the next scheduled game as well, good luck to them, may they win.

Wow, even without Dwight Ramos these young cadets managed to kept the game close. Losing by only a single digit is a great achievement IMO and also a morale booster for them going into a game with the Dominican Republic. The Serbians routed Dominican Republic by almost 20 points and I'm excited on how these young fellows perform against the latter. Odds already out on the bookies, Philippines +7.5@1.91, who is brave enough to take this hehe.

All I can say is that they are enjoying what they are doing, there's no pressure on them, unlike the old Gilas where we are expecting a lot from them. The expectation is low that's why they surpass it, we have to build this kind of chemistry, no blaming, just play like brothers and play with one goal. However, this would not be possible without the mentorship of coach Tab, he is a gem in the Philippine basketball, he should stay in the Philippines for good.

That's how it should be, they just have to maintain the confidence that they've got or much better show more what they can if there's more to be out. But as a whole, it's already a good experience for them that they've made it hard for Serbia to give that win and it's a toe-to-toe match. I think we're going to see the same with DR but hopefully, Gilas will take their win against them and that's what we're all wanting. These young calibers did good and I don't want to compare it with the former roster, as long as they show the real heart through the game and for the country, they're one on this and that's all that matters.

Odds already out on the bookies, Philippines +7.5@1.91, who is brave enough to take this hehe.
If only a minimum of +15, I will take the risk. Maybe because as you said, the odds provider sees that Serbia gave a hard time to the Dominican Republic and PH on the other hand, also gave a good game to Serbia. Still, with the handicap of +7.5 for the PH, we can really see how underdog we are against the World but still recognized as a top team in Asia. Maintaining a close game against the Dominican Republic is a difficult job but not that impossible to win.

What if the Dallas Mavericks Mavs entered the NBA Western Conference Finals, PH might not be playing against Boban and probably might win over Serbia. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) PH Cadet's top guys will shift instead their defense to Boban's teammates. Overall, salute to PH Cadets. Even they lose, the country is now again recognized globally in terms of basketball.
