After the Talk N Text Tropang Texters defended their all Filipino PBA championship, a few weeks later, the new PBA Commissioner's Cup is just about to begin!

In the newest round, each PBA team will have the benefit of utilizing imports, foreign players, to strengthen their teams. And without a height limit, you know every team was raring to get their hands on some huge imports to defend the paint.

There are 2 games to kick-off the newest PBA season tomorrow starting at 5:15pm and then 7:30 pm

The first game features the new look Barako Bull Energy going up against the Alaska Aces, who are looking to make up for last Conference's lackluster performance. Alaska will be utilizing the services of 6'11" bigman from Stanford University Matt Haryasz while Barako will be using 6'9" athletic swingman and NBA vet, DerMarr Johnson.

The next game will pit the new look BMEG Llmados against the surging Meralco Bolts. After an early playoff exit last conference (BMEG was upset by 8th placed Powerade), both teams are raring to go and start the season with a much needed win. BMEG, after acquiring JC Intal, will also be using  6'10" paint defender Denzel Bowles from James Madison University while the Bolts will be playing either 6'10" NBA veteran Jelani Mccoy or standby import (injury replacement) Jarrid Famous, a 6'11" bigman who played for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants in the NBA D-League.

This is sure to be an exciting season especially with the addition of the imports and with all the new story lines and player movements! Catch the PBA tomorrow on AKTV (channel 15 on Sky or channel 13 for Televisions without cable) at 5:15pm! It's game time in the PBA!
