I think losing is just normal, and eventually, Blackwater will win because they are so desperate for a win, they will work every game to improve their chances of winning. I don't know when the streak will be over but I know them being winless will not be forever.

Northport vs Blackwater, the hottest team vs the coldest team in the PBA. 

Fajardo is not as dominant anymore as before. In their last game against Magnolia, I think Fajardo is just limited and it's Tautua who were given more minutes together with Manuel, SMB like to match the play of Magnolia which is a fast pace game and with JMF SMB is slower.

Not sure what happened after that injury, this is the second season that he is playing and we seen him not as dominant as before, getting older or because he is still concerned with possibilities that it can happen again. Though it's true, it's still early, and the chance is still there for SMB to rally back and chase this year's title.


He is good, no doubt about that. The locals need to step up and start bringing the fight. That's what lacking the SMB that last game against Magnolia, hope they will figure it out and start adjusting.

Actually, it's not that the import is still adjusting but the locals should also have to step up. Look at Magnolia, they don't rely mostly on their import. Harris is not pressured to force on making points as his support is doing great. SMB, even their key players before are now departed to other teams and hitting their respective ages, still has a better, deep, and heavy local lineup in the league compared to other teams.

They need to try to look at what's the "missing link" to activate their usual dominance.

Yes they will win I believe on them but not this season I guess. They will continue their losing streak until next season.
I just hope that they will get a very good player coming draft pick and let it stay with the team. If the owner really wants to continue his stint in the PBA then at least build a team that can at least enter the playoffs.

NorthPort vs. BlackWater. I will bet for Blackwater with this one . JK JK!!

Maybe at this time, we will see some upset?

Northport is on a winning streak, they are a good team and so everyone will be betting on them.
Try to have some fun, maybe bet on the Blackwater Moneyline because Northport might not play hard here knowing they will be playing against the wosrt team in the PBA.

Northport needs to win, they are not in a good standing, so they will certainly play hard in this game.
As you can see in their ranking. https://pba.ph/standings, they are in the number 9 spot and losing one game is big for them.

They might not be covered but they'll win this game.

The spread by the way is only -6.5 for NP.

Certainly NorthPort won't let Bossing will be the one to beat them, that would be their motivation and i think this goes to all the other teams in the PBA, they don't want to lose to Blackwater lol.

Batang Pier -6.5 @1.82 vs Bossing, glad that it is only a single digit spread because NorthPort will go hard on this game as they badly need this win so they can get a spot on the quarterfinals.

This losing streak of Blackwater is somewhat giving some colors/excitement to the PBA. People are now waiting on when this streaks ends.

Maybe we can have fun on this and bet for this one. Just don't know the mechanics but i'll surely join if somebody would start this game.

To tell you honestly, I don't even see the BlackWater team is really frustrated with what's going on with them. It's normal for them to lose games. You won't see them being competitive. It's not that it's mandatory to win although it should be, the way they play games, they are not even close to giving their opponent a tough win. But some game previous back, they were able to give a good performance although that was a rare one lol.

Blackwater will continue to be winless this conference. They will have a chance to win in an import conference if lucky they will have a good one in the future. Or in All-Filipino if they are up against a team with the opponent's key players absent on that game.

Major blow for NLEX as import KJ McDaniels bound for home

This news was yesterday and I thought someone already shared it here.

Moving forward, I even posted before that I'm looking forward to NLEX being in the Finals of this conference because of KJ McDaniels' monster performance since the start. And now something unexpected happened as McDaniels will now leave the team for personal matters. He will last play against Ginebra on Friday.

I hope that NLEX will be able to find a good replacement as I really like new faces at the Finals of this conference.
