Support of fans in the league is not burning anymore unlike before.
i can still remember the time we watch the game @ Araneta Coliseum.  Im pretty sure it was not play-offs and just an ordinary game.
I was 8 years old i think, Edsa was wide and no traffic at all even it was a rush hour.
My dad is a solid NSD fan, he took me there with my younger brother to watch  the GIN vs POP Cola/sunkist.
Luckily we were Early, I watched the SMB vs Pepsi (if i am not mistaken). Thats the day i became a SMB FAN!
Mustre was there, Samboy, Alvarez and Racela. 2 Games and with those games the crowd is a live.
Stomping on the floor, having the drum roll for the defense, I can see people inside the arena, all are shouting, clapping and Araneta were full of crowd.
Defense was the best offense, unlike now. Hard fouls were rarely to call, today we are seeing soft players.

a great memory that i will always keep.


Most people now will watch on TV or online because of TRAFFIC!
I hear people shouting, saying GINEBRA and DEFENSE while i am typing this.

Well, I still appreciate the league because it's been the first league here in our country and in fact, they're close to celebrating 50 years since it started which is a huge achievement for the league itself. It's just that, you can't deny the fact that the competition around the league is pretty much gone already because of duopoly.

I still love the league though and I'm also putting some bets on some games. Well, I guess I'll just start to watch games of my favorite team which is SMB to at least show my appreciation to the league.

The entry of Fil-Shams also contributed to the downfall of the PBA imho. Guys like Benjie Paras and Bonel Balingit could still play in a team but they had to be replace by this so called Fil-foreigners as these players are more talented kuno than the pure breed. Also the internet plays a big role in the popularity of the PBA as people will no longer watch PBA as they were having fun browsing Facebook.

I hope that this coming seasons of the PBA, they will put emphasis on the fans and hear our voices.

Yeah right, fans nowadays are more into their phones and smart devise sk bringing live streams may help to bring those interests coming from the fans who still like to watch the games, though i see the the point of those fil-am before who really takeout the opportunities from those locals to play, something that force players to retired or to switch to another leagues.

And for sure having SMC and MVP controlling most of the teams that's also affects the downfall of this league as fans expect .out of the time that one their teams will be playing for the finals. No longer entertaining as they dominate the league.

Same here, eager to place bets as i have place a bet last Wednesday as i was very busy that day. No odds yet for tomorrow's games but definitely NorthPort and Rain-or-Shine i think will be the favorites over their respective opponents.

As for the coverage of the PBA, yeah they should bring back the Youtube live or Facebook live for free so that fans can watch their idols live on tv then hype because one day those who watch on tv live will surely watch on the arena to watch their idol live on flesh.

Hahaha, waiting to get the worm kabayan? wait for a little while and who knows you can catch up the best one that you'll waiting.. I'll be monitoring the line and see if there's some interesting odd to bet, good luck kabayan!


I think they need to realize that no one is interested to pay for a live views better to bring back those free live streams online to get the interest of some of those fans who still watching games..

I also thought that there was because in the past, the schedule for PBA games are Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Well, they removed the Friday games for some reasons, eh?

Speaking of that PH version of NBA league pass, I wonder if there are that many who are subscribed to that thing. I mean there are many who are streaming it on Facebook for free. Heck, you can even watch it on some of the gambling websites as well. I'm using Betpanda livestream to watch PBA games as well although it's a bit late compared to the scores shown on the website, but as long as I can watch then I don't see any problem in it.

PBA games making it free? TBH, the league is at it's lowest that I'm also thinking that even they offer it for free, they will not watch. Kind of funny, but that's how low the league is right now. Anyway, I don't think that the management will do this kind of thing. The best thing that they can do is to throw discounted tickets only. Maybe if they will do some giveaways like what they're doing in the NBA where in every timeout, they will allow a fan to shoot the ball in order to win a few thousand dollars. Maybe if they will implement it on PBA as well then that might attract more viewers.

Lucky to those early birds who took NP giving that handicap as they fully dominated Terrafima, there's nothing that DYIP can do as the duo of TR7 and Pringle only produce 4 points, TR7 1 out of 5 while Pfringle is 1 out of 10, while on the otherside, Tolentino showcase another BP performances.

Congrats Kabayan if you took that bet for NLEX as they beat ROS with 109 - 95 Bollick and Torres produce both double digits leading the team for their offense..

If you still remember the blockbuster trade Of Ginebra with Stanhardinger with Tarrafirma? Dyip was in the play-offs and we can tell that those young guys in a young team is really something and can win games.
The has its future in the PBA and can ball with other elites. But trade was done and became the lowest in the league, atfirst , I thought it was time and chemistry that the team needs. But Stan decide not just to part ways with the team but to leave the League. It was less than a year after the trade. If you can also recall when Stan is with SMB together with JUNmar, they are really strong and if he stays there, SMB is really far from other team.
But things changed whe the SMB corp decided to take Stanhardinge to GInkings via trading it to other team with straight swap to MO and afterwards to GSM.

Let go back to STAN decision! does the GINEBRA knonws this plan before the big trades happen? coz its very downside with the DYIP.

He needs to play back and showcase his talents one more to make that happened, not sure what's the plan after the trade, if ever he decided to go back there's  a chance that he maybe taken by another known contender the only question right now is if he's willing to play for Terra and let his contract expired then explore for any other opportunities of offers from other team.
