PBA (July 17 - 21): With top seed in sight, TNT is the team to watch late in Commissioner's Cup
The 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup playoffs is almost set, with just one more team missing to complete the post-season puzzle. But while the top-2 seeds have been decided for a good amount of time now, the no. 1 team in the conference is yet to be finalized. TNT holds the key and that's why the KaTropa are the team to watch in the PBA's set of games for July 17-21. At 9-1, TNT will decide which team enters the playoffs as the number one seed. If the KaTropa beat Magnolia for the very last game of the elimination round, they keep first place. If they lose, Northport takes over as no. 1 and TNT drops to second place. It's that simple. The top-2 seeds then see action in the playoffs on Sunday, win there once and it's on to the semifinals. Jul 17 @ Smart Araneta 4:30 p.m. San Miguel vs. Meralco 7:00 p.m. TNT vs. Magnolia July 19 @ MOA Arena 7:00 p.m. Playoff for 8th place July 20 @ MOA Arena Quarterfinals for 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5 (Game 1 of best-of-3) July 21 @ TBA Quarterfinals for 1 vs. 8 and 2 vs. 7 (Top-2 seeds hold 2x-to-beat) — Follow this writer on Twitter, @paullintag8.....»»

Gray comes to play as Mighty-GFG Philippines stays spotless in 2019 Jones Cup
Jeremiah Gray has been spreading his wings in the 2019 Jones Cup and on Monday inside Changhua Gym in Taiwan, he was in full-fledged flight mode, leading the Mighty Sports-Go for Gold Philippines to a 116-87 whipping of Canada's University of British Columbia. The Filipino-American swingman waxed hot with 25 points built on a 6-of-8 mark from threes to go along with six rebounds and four assists. It was also him who had a third of the Philippines 33-point third quarter that turned a close contest into a blowout win. This more than made up for the fact that a day ago, Gray went scoreless against Japan-B. Renaldo Balkman was right there with him with 22 points, nine rebounds, six assists, and four blocks while Eugene Phelps contributed 22 markers, nine boards, and six dimes of his own as the Filipino side registered yet another rout, their fourth in as many games in the tournament. Up next for them is South Korea on Tuesday.

Balkman-led Philippines too mighty for Japan in 2019 Jones Cup
Mighty-GFG Philippines is yet to find its match in the 2019 William Jones Cup as it won big for the third game in a row, this one a 94-59 waylaying of Japan, Sunday inside Changhua Gym in Taiwan. Just like their first two games in the tournament, the Filipinos followed the lead of reinforcements Renaldo Balkman and Eugene Phelps, but also got a much-welcome breakout from Filipino-Americans Mikey Williams. Team captain Balkman celebrated his birthday by turning in his strongest showing thus far with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and two blocks while Phelps muscled his way into 19 markers, seven boards, and two steals. Williams then dropped 17 points, his tournament-high, to go along with three rebounds and three steals while Jason Brickman also added eight markers, six boards, and three assists. The Japanese were actually ahead in the earlygoing until Balkman and Phelps joined forces for a 13-1 run that erased a seven-point deficit and erected a 18-13 advantage. The Philippines would never look back all the way to its biggest win of the tournament. Up next on the list for Mighty-GFG Philippines is Canada's University of British Columbia on Monday. BOX SCORES MIGHTY-GFG PHILIPPINES 94 – Balkman 27, Phelps 19, Williams 17, Brickman 8, Moore 8, Adams 6, Black 4, Graham 3, N'Diaye 2, Gray 0, Banal 0.

Finally, Blackwater stands among PBA s elite
Before the 2019 PBA Commissioner's Cup, Blackwater only had one winning record to show in the 13 conferences it has seen action in. With a well-earned win over Alaska, Sunday at Araneta Coliseum, however, they finally got to celebrate another winning record. Not only that, their seventh win in 11 games clinched for them the third-seed for the next round - by far, the upstart team's best-ever finish in the eliminations. For the players, making franchise history was all the extra fuel they needed for their already burning fire. "Basta gusto lang talaga naming manalo para maka-stay kami sa third kasi ngayon lang din nangyari sa amin na third kami," Roi Sumang said after dropping eight of his 18 points in the last four minutes. He then continued, "Lahat, masaya. Lahat, gusto maglaro." Of course, Blackwater is only cherishing the fact that, for the first time in its five-year history as a franchise, its fate is in its own hands. "Masarap sa feeling yung ganitong number three kasi 'di katulad before na lagi lang kaming umaasa sa kung sino yung mananalo (sa taas ng standings). Ngayon, kami yung may hawak kung aonng pwedeng maging spot namin," Sumang said. In three of the four times it has qualified for the playoffs, it was the lower-seed and was booted out right away. Now, the Elite are the third-seed - and are the ones watching the likes of Magnolia, Rain or Shine, and San Miguel fight over playoff positioning. For this breakthrough, they are nothing but grateful. "We all know that we were dead-last last conference and we thank our proud owners, Dioceldo Sy and Silliman Sy for their unwavering support. Also, the players, congratulations to them for really sticking with each other," head coach Aris Dimaunahan said. --- Follow this writer on Twitter, @riegogogo......»»
