KBL x PBA?
This is the most recent news that's just been published today on PBA's website. KBL = Korean Basketball League
This is actually good news although they're still in discussions about a possible partnership in the future. Honestly, this is a good development and this is going to slap those PBA haters that are also saying that they don't want to upgrade.
(https://www.pba.ph/news/pba-kbl-partnership-off-to-a-good-start)

I read about this first time about 2 weeks ago or less if I'm not mistaken.

I'm still studying the terms of that partnership and what would it cost both parties?

If my understanding is clear, there will be a possible player exchange in the near future? What are the key highlights of the future partnership?

So we will see Koreans to be playing in the PBA, an import maybe? If that would happen, then how would they deal with the salary cap, and for sure those PBA players that will be traded to play in Korea would be happy with their salary and opposite to the Koreans who will play in the PBA, not sure if my understanding is correct though.

This will be a great exposure for Filipino players and most probably both parties will benefit on this partnership. There’s no clear statements yet from PBA with regards to this, but let’s hope that this partnership will push through so we can expect other players to come here and of course local players to play abroad as well.

I though Korea is our greatest rivalry? And I heard about the news of revenge to Gilas.
Well, this is still a good partnership after all and most probably will bring a lot of money to the players and the teams which is always the top priority. If the partnership aims to improve every players, this is way more better.

Yes, that's the possible deal on this partnership. KBL and PBA will have that trade deal and it will make those deals easy with this partnership. Since PBA is like having the most strict rules, letting it happen through this deal will make the management, teams, and players easy to get on the deal.
That's why it's not just going to be B League that we're going to see PBA players play as well as other leagues like in Taiwan but also in South Korea.

We all wanted to see our talents to be developed. Giving them more options will also give them the chance to play with different types of players and cultures. It will lead them to develop more skills. I like this personally since we will hear pinoy star to play in another country and represent our country's style of basketball.

Just how FIBA recognized our raises when Gilas showcase their talents, now that we are opening these opportunities

we might see more progress to young Pinoy stars and for the future of PBA..

Obviously, it's a different story about National Team. If I get it right, what the partnership should be is focused on the League itself as a whole. The rivalry doesn't have any impact on these since the PH and S. Korea are only rivals in international events.

I also lack any information about the partnership so maybe, I will spend time reading some stuff related to that and see if I can share my own understanding about it here in the thread.

I hope to see this game live on TV and I also hope that betting odds will be available.

Some games will be broadcasted on Sports5 TV Channel.

You can also refer to some Facebook Sports group which is now more being followed compared to watching it live on local television.

Anyway, there should be always a live game on local TV since that was the usual setup even before.

For me, I don't watch on local TV, I just watch online on their facebook streaming, and actually, the first game has already started, so let us enjoy it and those who forget to put their bet, can do live betting so they'll never miss 100% of the entertainment.

[Finestream]

Congratulations to the Bolts for beating the NLEX. Anyone able to win that game?

Currently live now is the game between Hotshots ang Giga, Hotshots take a good early lead, good timing to take the live betting for those who think the TNT will win this game. I know Magnolia si the slight favorite but getting a live bet at this moment will definitely give you a good odds for moneyline.

I bet on TNT and I'm not gonna add my bet on live betting although the odds are better, I'll call it a night whatever the outcome is, but I'm hoping that TNT will have a rally in the 2nd half and will try to make the score close.

It's a very positive development and a good thing with this partnership if it's already approved and agreed upon. It's truly the young talents are the ones that will be recognized by this program. They're the ones that will benefit from this since the older ones will just have to retire and see them grow. From now on, after the partnership is approved, they're the ones that will be seen on this progress and it's really going to help them boost because of the experience and exchange that will happen.

Best of luck bro, looks like Magnolia is keeping their lead, there's still plenty of time but Magnolia is still in a double-digit lead. But anyway, good luck and I hope you'll win your bet, I'm just watching the game trying to enjoy the night with beers on my side.

I think there's some specific channels to watch on our local TV, but I ain't sure about the Sports5 anymore. Aside from that, yes you can also watch live games on Facebook pages and YouTube channels. By the way guys, is the games open to public?

There's no youtube streaming, they already removed it years ago, we can only watch this on their Facebook channel, that was hosted by smart and you can watch a high definition game.

By the way guys, is the games open to public?

Available for public viewing online but not on the venue, that is due to the restrictions. it's actually called a bubble set up.

I lose my bet as TNT did not complete the rally, they lose to the Hotshots by 3 points only, if did bet on live and get the handicap for odds like 1.90, I could have probably won, but that's okay, I already made my decision so better luck next time for me.

I see, anyways thanks for the heads up mate! It actually make sense why I can't see it on that platform and it's been quite a while since I watched on YouTube.

Right, I thought we could already watched it live at the Big Dome. But I read about it somewhere that they would allow some limited audience to watch it live week after the 1st live game.

There's no announcement regarding that, so it's just a speculation. For sure we can read that in their website if that is true, but for now, let's just enjoy their return and stick with the current set up.

https://www.manilatimes.net/2022/01/19/sports/pba-plans-to-resume-games-in-february/1829775

THE Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Board plans to meet next week to discuss the possible resumption of the Governors' Cup in February under a home-venue-home setup.

League commissioner Willie Marcial confirmed this on Tuesday at the Philippine Sportswriters Association online forum.

"I've talked to (Games and Amusements Board [GAB]) Chairman (Abraham) Mitra last Sunday and they told me they've endorsed a letter to the IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force) to allow us to play in what they called a Type C bubble," Marcial said.

As you can read, it's a bubble set up, they will stay in the venue to ensure that no one will get infected with the virus and that they can finish the conference successfully.

It is fine mate, you can always bet in the following days as the schedules are already posted.
You can see it here: PBA Governor's Cup 2022

Unfortunately, TNT (93) was lost against Magnolia (96) earlier, from the beginning Magnolia already dominated TNT but everything changed in 4th quarter, seems Magnolia became confident that's why TNT almost managed to chase the score.
