Maybe the roster is not good enough to compete. Looking at the roster, I see some veterans like the names Semerad, Nabong, and Canaleta. and they also have good guards, but I don't understand why they struggle this season. Based on my personal view, I can't judge accurately because I was not watching their games, who would watch a team that is boring to watch.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the first season of coach Nash Racela as the head coach of the team, it's not good for him if the team will not have at least 1 win.

DYIP lost again today, this time against the Meralco Bolts.

Bolts beat them in the 2nd half, that's really the advantage of a team that has a good lineup as they always play better in the 2nd half.

Still, Tiongson struggles to get back his MVP shape, lol.. he only made 10 points in this game, without him making wonders, I guess DYIP will get back to its place. 3rd losing streak for DYIP, right?

Not like this actually, why? Because they are actually playing very well when Ray Parks played with them and when they have a  good import. Maybe the team has run out of stars or maybe they cannot build chemistry as the moment they get better, big teams will take their star to play with them.

They are good at that but imagine what will happen to their stars if other team see that they have strong player on their team the trade will be executed, and what surprising is Blackwater accept those bench warmers and its so unfair that's the reason why we cannot see them grow up to become a contender team since they always throw out their potential franchise players. That's why mostly I don't watch there games since its so boring and the result is predictable.

This is the news pertaining to that.

'Offended' Blackwater owner to sell franchise for ₱150M after PBA warning

However, I guess this was just his reaction as he got offended, in reality, he is not really serious about selling the franchise.
If he sells it for ₱150M, will there be interested on that price? is the price fair or just overvalued for an NBA team?

It's just a burst of emotion for the Blackwater owner that's why he has said those things but when everything settled, he realized that his team is not for sale lol. There are many big companies willing to buy if ever he pushes through with his plan.

Have you guys seen the rumors on social media about this Daniel De Guzman who is giving tips for PBA games?

Allegedly, the SMB-Ginebra game was rigged. The accuser even posted some text exchanges between him and De Guzman.

Do you believe in this?

Read the news, looks like it's a hot topic now because it's a big accusation but Daniel de Guzman denies the accusation. \

It already has 7.5k shared. this will go viral for sure.

I don't know if the PBA will open an investigation into this, because if they do, it will still affect the reputation of the league, and knowing that this player is just a rookie, people will speculate that there's more serious thing going on inside that is bigger than what was exposed.

As I'm seeing the Facebook post, I'm also thinking if PBA will make moves after this or they will just simply ignore it like what they did in the past.
After all, SMC is a one of the big partners of the PBA. Well, I just hope that they will not ignore this and will give punishments to those who involved if proven true.

Regarding the one being accused, we know already that he will deny it. He will not say that he did it because it will affect not only the SMC company but the whole league itself. Either this is a true or not anyway, this is another problem of the league that needs to be solved.... or will it be solved . I don't think so.

Yeah I remember that.
There are times where these sister teams are just giving away teams with each other. Although there are no evidences of it, its pretty obvious that the term "bigayan" that you said is happening.

And TBH, this is also the reason why the competitiveness of the team is slowly withering. I can still remember the time where there are many audiences in the stadium cheering for their favorite team. Take note that its on a elimination game or regular season and not in the playoffs. Nowadays, audiences prefer watching on their homes than cheering on the stadium because they find it boring because of these "bigayan" games. I'm not blaming the management but they are also the reason why people find PBA boring and players opted to play outside the country than playing in their home country.

I still remember the MPBL rig game that caused the players to be suspended and banned. As long as the management will not speak regarding it, this issue will be forgotten by the people in 2-3 weeks like you said.
