..it clearly shows that Coverge doesn't play defense, no wonder they are at the bottom now.

On the other hand, even though there's a defense, Magnolia is just draining every shot at every field. With a 52% percentage shooting they did, it means they are having hot hands that night that even well defended, their shots are draining every time.

Besides, I don't expect Converge to shine at the All-local Conference. They are clear to be eliminated after the regular games ended.

They are usually seen as competitive only during import conferences. I hope they can snipe a good import in the next import conference.

Converge is really not the same anymore ever since they let Ahamnissi ang Jeron Teng go. And there's a rumor that coach Ayo will be replace soon. I don't know if there can still make something to make this team competitive, because even if they have a good coach but the lack of quality players is the major problem I see in this team.

It was a good start but after they let Teng and Ahamnissi its obvious that they are not here to compete, it's an easy negotiation with players who can provide decent numbers, most of the good teams are willing to pay the price just to keep their competitiveness and have that chance winning the game, but it was different with how Converge doing it now, they are just playing to continue their stay from the league but in terms of trying to reach the finals there's no trace from the management to increase their chances, and with rumors that coach Ayo will be replaced it adds up to the point that they might be a part now of a farming team.

There's possibility that they will only become a farm team, with their quality of players, it's not gonna compete with the good roster of the strong teams, their 2nd unit might even be better than the main unit of the converge. See the 2nd unit of SMB, they have Teng, Romeo, Trollano, Tautuaa, and Jericho Cruz I guess.. So, we see the difference, and if SMB could afford this kind of quality players, how can a converge them would be able to compete with them.

People may criticize SMB for not following the salary cap ( if there's any), but we can always criticize theses so called farm teams for not being able to come up with a required budget to pay based on standard salary.

As if we don't know what's happening within the PBA. If we are looking for a league that is fair then that should not be the PBA. Some of the players have criticized the way it was manage. I mean, why get a team to be part of the league if they aren't competiting anymore. I would understand that a team would struggle as that's normal, even Ginebra have struggled before they sign coach Tim, but these teams like DYIP or KIA and Blackwater has always been struggling, season after season like there's no improvement at all, they even get worst, and now there's converge which was suppose to be a good team since the players were alaska players that was bought by converge.

They choose to be a part of a farm team I guess they don't want to waste money and instead they are using their participation to free for something that benefits their business, while also gaining something from the higher franchise, as we know how the management works and how the league governors and commissioner are working alongside to make it legal.

There's nothing fans can do to push the league to bring back those old glory they will just go with the flow and accept anything that will be offer and keep it the way it is now.
