Philippines will not send a basketball team to the 18th Asian Games

Here’s the official statement from the Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas (SBP);

SBP did not state any reason other than “to allow our National team and our organization to regroup, prepare for the process of appealing the FIBA Disciplinary Panel..

In this ESPN 5 article, PBA commissioner Willie Marcial said that the Rain or Shine (RoS) management remains willing to send its team to the Asian Games.

If PBA players are not available, why not just send selection of college players which is what the Philippines have been doing before they started sending pros in 1990.

Ginebra Gin Kings takes Game 1 of the 2018 PBA Commissioner’s Cup Finals

A great win for the Gin Kings.

But just like what the commentators said.. whether you win by 1 or by 100 points, this will only be counted as just one win.

I’m pretty sure San Miguel Beermen will bounce back on Game 2, which will be this Sunday, July 29 in Araneta.

Justin Brownlee is the best player of the game with 42 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists!

NBA Finals Schedule

Cavs and the Warriors will meet in NBA Finals for the fourth consecutive year. Just like last year, Cavs will be the underdog and who could blame them. I expect this to be a quick series.
