Two companies expressed interest in joining the Philippine Basketball Association soon, KIA Motors (Columbia Automotive Corporation) and Blackwater Sports (Ever Bilena Inc). If the two teams will be approved by the PBA Board, the PBA will have 12 teams in the PBA 40th Season.
Do you think the addition of 2 new teams will be good for the PBA?
After a meeting between Gilas Pilipinas Coach Chot Reyes and the Philippine Basketball Association, the PBA Board of Governors agreed to compress the PBA 39th Season which now ends July 15 by shortening the PBA Commissioners Cup and Governors Cup Finals to a best-of-5 series and also moving the opening of the PBA 40th Season to October 19 after the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea which starts September 19.
This gives Chot Reyes 45 days to prepare with a complete team for the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain which starts August 30 and the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea. But practices start every Monday after the current PBA Philippine Cup.
Here’s a tweet by Coach Chot Reyes (@coachot) thanking the PBA:
