                    [Title] => Ano ang kulang sa PBA
                    [Summary] => Nung Linggo, sa pagbubukas nung Invitationals ng PBA, kaya raw walang tao sa coliseum eh dahil sa may rebellion sa Makati. May tensyon daw kaya ang mga tao ay hindi nanood. 


Hindi kami naniniwala sa dahilang yan.

Ang paniwala namin, walang interes ang mga basketball fans sa Invitationals dahil sa ang mga foreign teams na inimbita nila eh mahihina ang kalidad at hindi pag-aksayahan ng panahon ng mga mahihilig sa basketball. They know when they see a strong team. Alam nila kung ano ang team na dapat panoorin.

Ano ang nangyari nung Miyerkules?
