2015-2016 NBA Season

Buksan karong Miyerkules, Oktubre 28 ang 2015-2016 NBA Season diin dunay tulo ka duwa ang pagahimoon.

Kaniadto pang Oktubre 26 gipangsumitir ang mga 2015 rosters alang sa NBA Opening Day.

Ang defending champion Golden State Warriors kinsa mosuway pagdepensa sa ilang titulo, maoy host batok sa dili matag-anan o dili kakumpyansaan nga New Orleans Pelicans ni superstar Anthony Davis nga gituohan sa mga NBA experts nga layo ra ang lima ka tuig nga dili moabante sa finals o dili ba hinoon, modaog og korona.

Ang duwa adto himoon sa Oracle Arena sa Oakland, California.

Misamot na karon kalig-on ang mga teams sa Western Conference tungod sa pagkuha sa San Antonio Spurs ni LaMarcus Aldridge gikan sa Portland Trail Blazers nga mihuyang sab og samot human mobalhin si Wesley Matthews ngadto sa Denver Nuggets.

Ang losing finalist sa miaging tuig ang Cleveland Cavaliers makigsangka karon batok sa Chicago Bulls didto sa United Center samtang ang Atlanta Hawks kinsa adunay bag-ong desinyo sa ilang jerseys ug sa ilang homecourt, mo-host sa Detroit Pistons didto sa Philips Arena.

Nagpanikad na sab ang Oklahoma City Thunder kinsa wala makasulod sa playoffs sa labing unang higayon sa miaging tuig. Gani, gidudahan nga kung maayo og agi ang Thunder karon nga season, adunay purohan nga mahimong MVP si Russell Westbrook sa labing unang higayon.

Naghisgot na man gyud kita'g NBA, ato na lang ipahibalo daan sa mga suki sa SPORTSgab  ang mga importateng mga petsa aron sab mabutang na kining daan sa ilang kalendaryo.

CEBU HOOPS LADIES LEAGUE.  Ang akong higala nga si Lorenzo "Chao" Sy, ang commissioner sa Cebu City Sports Commission (CCSC) naglaraw nga mopasiugda og Cebu Hoops Ladies League Christmas Cup 2015 sunod buwan depende sa gidaghanon nga mosalmot nga women's teams apan kung si Danica Canitoy, ang CESAFI statistician kinsa usa sab ka player, maoy pasultion daghang teams ang interesado mosalmot niini.

Apan tungod kay tua pa man si Chao sa Estados Unidos, lisod pa kining madayon karong tuiga ug malagmit adto na kini himoon sayo sunod tuig.  Gani, wala man sab madayon ang gikatakdang meeting nga adto unta himoon sa Hotel Fortuna niadtong Oktubre 17.
