2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[S A KHAIR]

NLEX and Gin kings are hot, but we know both TNT and SMB are both capable of chasing the title.

We just have to hope that everything will go back smoothly now.
Just last week although I can't find the link, I have read that there's also a consideration wherein the Governors Cup will be pushed but without the imports as these guys also have a business to take care and these delays are making their schedule in jeopardy.

It's been a while that we see a not usual team on the top of the standing that's why I like to see where's the dominance of NLEX this Governor's Cup will end up.

Have not read that but i think imports can play as the resumption of games would be on the first Sunday of February and no word yet from the PBA that imports are not allowed to play for the time being.
With the "unrestricted free agent" rule in effect, SMC and MVP teams will become stronger as free agents main priority is to sign with those teams, last option for them is to sign with low tier teams if no offer from strong teams.

But isn't it final already that they will resume next month on the 1st week?
No import, I think it's not exciting, however, I would just accept it as it's better to have that than no PBA at all.
I hope there's no more changes and we will finally see the return of the PBA conference, I think it's almost a month already since it was stopped.

Though no imports are not exciting, as you said, I would also just accept it. PBA has always had a soft spot for imports. This time that decision is different and maybe it's ok to have no imports than having no PBA at all. But I don't think that any more changes will be appreciated.

I will echo you from here, whatever the decision will take place as long as the league will go back, it's better than nothing at all, i also don't have any idea with what would be the case for the imports but for sure we will see that once the PBA resume, only a few more days and we will see our favorite team and players to be back in actions.

Though still depends on how the PBA will announce it but so far there are no changes after they inform the public that first week of
Feb they will start the game and resume.

Also, until there's no assurance that they will resume 1st week next month, let us not expect a lot as we might only be discouraged. of course we want to see some action again, but the PBA has been pause for now and all we have to hope is that there will be no more problem that will come in the next few days.

I guess it was previously announced, but of course, we have to see them make a further announcement about the status of the current NBA season. I am optimistic that they will resume soon and it's not gonna be a long wait for us since, in just over a week, we will know if they'll really resume or not.

In online, there's no much news but only an speculation so far.

They can’t afford any further delay or else they have to cancel this conference and waste everything after all.
PBA is already working on this and they told us that in February they will resume the conference, let’s hope for this to happen and no further delay, it looks like the protocols by February will slightly ok for them, bubble is thing a good option.

Next month is very crucial, we have to hear their decision and I also expect the same, it's either a resumption or cancellation of the season next month, but let's hope for the positive announcement as this season has been very entertaining since imports are back after years of not being allowed to play.

bubble is thing a good option.

They have no choice but to do this last option.

Hoping that the conference will continue next month, hoping that they have a better plan now.
PBA will lose much money if they cancel the conference, so this should not be the option for them better to go for a bubble situation which they have the experience already though of course this will be an additional expense for them.

That's all I want as well, let's just continue to be hopeful of their return because they have invested on this season already as they paid money for the imports and they won't allow to lose their money because of the pandemic, there's always a last option and that is the bubble.

The PBA have already announced that they will resume on the first week of February, specifically on the first Sunday next month so it is safe to assume that this season is already a go, no more cancellation unless a new variant will wreck havoc the whole of the Philippines.

There will resumption but in a crowdless arena as they say for the time being but i think by March they will open the gate for the fans as the covid cases is steadily declining.

THE PBA will most likely return to playing without fans again when the league resumes the 2021 Governors’ Cup by the first week of February at the earliest.

PBA commissioner Willie Marcial on Monday, January 24, said the board of governors agreed to restart the stalled Governors’ Cup in February with the number of coronavirus cases, particularly in Metro Manila, starting to drop.
Marcial said the league was just waiting for the approval of local government units (LGUs) for the return of scrimmages as the board of governors acknowledged that teams should be given 10 days to practice.

As stated from the source, they're still waiting for the LGU's approval to have a green light and to start the 10-day allocated practice before they announce the exact date of when does the games will resume, so I guess 1st week of February isn't final yet. But atleast we know that there's something we can look forward to especially that this games is likely to happen as the covid cases is also slowing down.

Well, at least this is a good news already for us fans and for the PBA management themselves.

Its a win-win that this league will continue which is I think will resume at first . Its good too that they didn't went to the Bubble set-up which is we are expecting that they are doing. The number of cases too in the NCR are slowly decreasing already and overall cases are decreasing as well so... yeah I'm happy to see the league resume .

That's great, but they seemed to be confident to say that they will resume next week, so most likely we will see the PBA soon. I'm happy with the news, it seems so positive and I really want to start betting on PBA games again as I'm in a good run thus far, hope my momentum will not be ruined though.

It's just a projection, it's not final yet but what is final is that when the PBA will resume, there will be no fans, just like a bubble set up.

The PBA has already clarified 2 weeks ago that there will be no bubble set-up and will only resume the season when the covid cases will be reduced especially in NCR to make sure the safety of their players and staffs. As of now, the covid cases in the NCR are really decreasing everyday and it's a good news as the PBA games won't be postponed again anymore.

That's a great and good news to us and now we can bet our favorite Pba teams and support them to their journey and also I do hope that the cases will be decreasing and decreasing in order to prevent postponed to their game but as of now I think that this governors cup will smoothly continue until the end.

If the case will continue to decrease but if another increase will take place the government has no other option but to limit again those indoor activities, PBA is not exempt to any action from the government, but for now, we should be happy with this news if the spread is now decreasing and the cases that has been reported is not the same as what happened before this alert level 3 then it will be a win-win for fans and the organization..

That's correct. If PBA will be allowed now by any institutions, it will be easy for them now to work on schedule. It's just that, since they are waiting for it, they can't finalized the date of the return. Should be by February and that's good.

The community isn't that overreacting to our confirmed daily cases everyday. It will contribute to the positive mindset of everyone. As we know, mind over body is really one of the effective way to battle a disease, at most cases.

We are already optimistic that PBA will resume, as optimistic as the management, so that's a good thing and the fans will surely be happy although the setup will not be the same before it was paused. Resume betting again and continue watching the entertaining games of the PBA, with imports playing, that's a higher level of enjoyment for us.

With the current suggestion from Octa-research group to lower the alert level to level 2, I’m confident as well that this conference will have a higher chance to continue by next month, looks like the restriction will slowly back to alert level 2 as the case continues to go down as well. Maybe the surge is really just because of the holiday break and now everything is getting better and PBA are more likely to continue now, we really want to see them playing again.
