Game today;

DYIP vs Northport (1st game)
A team that needs a win, they both are struggling in the conference so far, they are still winless so one team should have a win after this game.
Northport is the favorite at -4, however, I believe that DYIP is the better team here, so I'm betting on the ML.

Alaska vs SMB (2nd game)
Should be a good game to witness, my bet defends on the outcome of the first game as I got my money "all in" in the first game.

Congratulations to NorthPort for their first win.

Finally C. Stand had a good game but Nabong was also a big help for their first win, and he deserved to be the best player of his team for that game.
On the opposing team, Perez is still consistent with his points but I'm happy to see that Adam has finally contributed well for his team, he tallied with 19 points along with 8 rebounds, I think he has already adjust on the physicality.

I believe on that as he was really consistent in the roster, of all the bigs, he is the one who are playing well in the bubble, probably he was able to maintain his health during their off so he remains fit to play like he used to before.

One game is not enough to conclude, you are right so we will see what his performance in their next game.

Meanwhile, we have a good game in the 2nd game, Alaska rally in the 2nd half and this is now a close game.

I think it's a low scoring game.

Is anyone here waiting for Calvin Abueva to join the bubble? do you have any idea when he will be included? I saw the news of Topex Robinson being emotional about him. Is it really Marcial who's the reason why it seems that the process of Abueva getting into the bubble is slow?

He really is, no one.

Calvin is already in the bubble, there's no reason to allow him inside if he will not be given a chance to play, good thing Phoenix won their last game by their big come back, but that game we saw how inconsistent the team is, so I would say, Calvin return is really necessary and I hope if Marcial would delay his return, it will happen in the elimination as that's the time where he really is needed.

At the current roster of the team, they might not get eliminated in the first round but they cannot beat the TNT and BGSM without one of their best players.

Very good news PBA fans, the Beast is finally back.

With the lifting of the suspension, Calvin Abueva can play tomorrow against NLEX Road Warriors.

Wow, just can't wait how Calvin would perform.

COVID 19 really affects the PBA season and it really stops the season for the mean time. It is really good thing that it restarted last october 9 and it really proves that Philippine basketball won't get easily stopped by anything even the pandemic. The bad thing about this is the whole blackwater team is get isolated and fans are still hoping for their quick comeback on the season. It will be having a hard time for them to get back to the game after a long isolation.

Yo! you kill the fun right after this good news about Abueva's comeback, after reading the article it's really possible now to stop the bubble since there's already a player who tested positive.

PBA needs to take action as the virus is a no joke problem. if the spread continues, it's life that they are dealing with, not because players are active the possibilities of being seriously infected still there.

Let's pray for the best, tough decision but very important one for PBA' s management.

There was no announcement yet, maybe they are carefully evaluating things now because they can't let go of this event that they have already spent a lot, it's also possible that they will continue the bubble since most of these players are healthy so they will be Asymptomatic and they can still continue to play, they will only be quarantine once they go out to ensure they will not bring the virus to their families.
