2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Ziskinberg]

I also don't believe that Ginebra will lose twice in a row that's why will risk on them tonight.

Same here, I just like their betting odds now, they are a slight underdog just like in game 1, so most probably the odds will be the same as long as the game results are close. Ginebra will likely win, if we want to put it all, this should be the right timing as fans will definitely fill the arena to watch this game.

The game has already started, and so far, the game is still very close but SMB should not be complacent, they have to play harder as it's a do-or-die game for them. The spread is high but there's a reason why it's high, SMB backers might take the ML but let's see if this time they have a good plan to beat the Bay Area Dragons.

Not a good start for SMB, they are playing a do or die game and yet they allow the Bay Area to dictate the game early. Maybe it's still too early as it's in the 2nd quarter, but the score is already 19-31, or 12 points lead by the Bay Area. Good thing Ross is playing, maybe he can help his team to win.

I thought at least in the first quarter the SMB will do good, I place bet when they're around 17-17 then it jump to 24 and now it's 19-31? I haven't watched PBA in few months or just watching it casually sometimes I thought that the SMB is still the top teams in the PBA. I haven't heard this Bay Arena before, was this a new team?

Well, don't you worry because SMB were able to come back in the game and it's now a close game. The first half has already ended, Bay Area only leading by 4 points, it's very manageable, so they need to have a big run in the 3rd quarter so they'll not fall short in the last quarter of the game.

This time, Scott has a good production with his precise shooting, 13 points so far from 6-8 Shooting.

This series is not over yet, SMB snatch the win tonight, the series is now 2-1 in favor of Bay Area. I just noticed, it seemed like the ref are pretty much on the side of SMB, even the last shot, it should be a foul since there was a push in the back. Anyway, congrats SMB for winning.

I also thought that was a foul but the ref did not call it. Also, when 3 men are down the floor before the 3-point shot of Enciso to take the lead, I thought there might be a foul there somewhere, but nothing is called. It is still good though. It is a very exciting game. The beermen gave the Bay Area Dragons a tough defense. Their shooters are contributing and Devon Scott have a bounce back game today. I think it was 28 points contribution coming from the import of San Miguel. They get to live to fight another day.

Exciting game indeed and IMO, that was a good "no call" when three bodies were on the floor before Simon Enciso nailed that game-winning three, that's a perfect ending for an intense game and a good beginning for another beeracle in the making hehe.

Second game at the moment with Ginebra leading by 9 points so far, not close so far unlike the second game where no team have lead by 5-points until the third quarter.

That was an intense game and lucky for SMB to stay alive, they should do more better plays on their next game to tied the series, they are not done here yet and beeracle might be their motto for this semi-finals.

Ginebra looks more solid tonight, taking care of the 11 points lead but this is not over yet because we know Magnolia is capable of taking over the lead. Ginebra have to make sure their consistency here, and limit the key players of Magnolia, the crowd is getting more wild here.

It is over. 23 points lead by Barangay Ginebra. What we expected as a close game became a lopsided game in favor of BGSM. I think the loss of Paul Lee in the lineup throws the rhythm of Magnolia and gives way for Ginebra to take the game. Congratulations to the backers of Ginebra.

Ginebra is now 1 win away from the Commissioner's Cup Finals. I wonder what the odds will be next game. Ginebra totally dominated Magnolia today. Are we getting tempting odds for Magnolia next game?

Ginebra won and makes a solid lead against Magnolia, now they are a win away to get back in the finals. Too bad for Magnolia because they are not able to limit the key players of Ginebra, Brownlee with a 38 points is a great statement of being the king of import. Well, not the end yet for Magnolia but I still see Ginebra to get on the finals because they really deserve it.

That was really a huge factor as Paul Lee is their main scorer, without him, their offense is struggling and another problem is their import is very limited. Also, Barocca went down and seemed to have injured his ankle, so it's not a good news for Magnolia who are trying to even the series.

Congratulations Ginebra bettors, this was an easy game to watch, this should give us a good night sleep.

SMB is not ready yet to exit, that's the magical power of SMC Bay Area against everyone hahaha, kidding aside it's a nice ending with that game winning 3point shot of Enciso better to make that sign like Dame when there's no more time for the opposing side to make a comeback.

SMB managed to push another game and if they will play solid again coming game 4, if they push these series to a do-or-die

PBA for sure, will earn a lot of money. The game between SMB and Bay Area is more like the finals. They both have solid selections
that can spark and bring real entertainment to the fans.

Semi final series score update :

Ginebra (2) - Magnolia (1)
Bay Area Dragon (2) - SMB (1)

1 win for Bay Area and Ginebra and they'll be meeting in the Finals.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

In game 1 the odds for Ginebra and Magnolia is almost even, game2 the Kings were the slight underdog and with them losing game 2 I think the odds in game 3 will be attractive if you are backing Ginebra.

I watched that last match between Ginebra and Magnolia, there weren't any Ginebra team members, they should have acted on television, all they were doing was acting as if they were hit but they weren't, you'll be annoyed by Tenorio's acting, hehehe.

If it's not acting as if it's a foul, then the opposing players will throw a ball or make a move to hurt it, that's bad.

It's a very close game, that would have been 2-0 if Paul did not get the ball. It's almost a turnover, it's just that Paul Lee was lucky enough to get the ball and since he is clutch, he shot the ball without panicking. Well, whatever happened, it's already a 1-1 series, and this is a very exciting series. In game 3, Ginebra is still 2.01, I guess that's a good odds.

  -  That match was really for Magnolia, I don't think it was luck. They were destined to win that day, when I watched that portion it was over in seconds, And maybe at that time Ginebra's expectations were high that they would win, that's the only reason things didn't go in their favor.

So that's it, paul lee is the one who wins Magnolia against Ginebra by only one point, gineva will be back from them next time.

If you noticed the live audience on that Game, others even commented that "are they still in a bubble"? haha.

But with SMB extending the series, and they will be on the second game on Wednesday, expect more fans to attend the live game as more fans will also watch the Manila Clasico on the first game where most BGSM fans are waiting to seal the series on that day.

MOA Arena is the venue and expects a full audience there.

One of the players of Bay Area was injured, I can't memorize the name but if that guy is not gonna play in game 4, I have a feeling that SMB could even the series. I like their physicality though their import is still playing at a lowest level, but JMF being their import is going to match the Bay Area.

About Ginebra vs Magnolia, I think that series will end in 4.

Both of my predictions were right. The problem is that I didn't put a bet on both of them because I'm busy.

Anyway, I expect SMB to extend the series and will not get a win against the Dragons. What I didn't expect is that they only won by 2 points and on a three point by Enciso. What if it didn't go in? The Beermen will lose and get swept but anyway, a win is a win and I'm happy to see lots of fans watching the game and enjoying every bit of the first game while waiting for the Manila Classico.

Game 4 for both teams on Wednesday. I'll predict that the Dragons will finish it on Wednesday and will win against the Beermen. On the other match-up, if Lee will not play again, (because of injury or health issues) it will be over for the Hotshots. I mean he didn't play yesterday, and we saw how Ginebra demolished them so we might see the same result if Lee will not play.

There's a chance that Bay Area will win because they'll bounce back from a lose. And about Paul Lee, I think he can play because he only had a fever last night which I'm pretty sure he will be fine next game, however, Ginebra had the momentum and I think they also are the better team, so they might end the series as well. As what we've seen last night, Brownlee is unstoppable, so as long as no one can stop him, things will be tough for Magnolia

Even with a healthy and complete Magnolia, there's no way they can defeat the Ginebra Kings. if they can even the series in game 4, I believe the last laugh will still belong to the Gin Kings. What they showed in game 3 was complete dominance, their defense is very impressive, so I think they'll be a great match up with Bay Area.
