No betting odds release yet.

It is best that we wait until we see if Nicholson will play game 5 or not before we make our bet. His presence I think will make a big shift on who will be the underdog and the spread of the game.

This is also the update I’m waiting for, unfortunately it looks like it will be a secret until the game 5 as part of the strategy of Bay Area as they are more eager to take the lead here since game 5 will be crucial and they have to go all in here. I see some good odds for Ginebra though, many bettors still believe that Ginebra will also bounce back from its game 4 loss, its getting more harder to place a bet now.

He’s unhealthy but if he can still play, Bay Area will take that risk in order for them to win the game 5. Bay Area can’t take a risk playing again without their import as Nicholson plays an important role for Bay Area. Well, if he will not play then better, Ginebra can start doing their game strategy against Bay Area without worrying for their import, and this time they should do it the proper way to avoid losing again.

But Ginebra will surely defend their home, this series might reach game 7 but that game 7 belongs to the home team which is the Gin Kings. Imagine if this will reach game 7, I can't imagine the total number of people that will watch the game, last time it was 17k, maybe all seats will be fully book in game 7.

No doubt about it, expect a full-pack audience if Game 7 will happens. Plus the number of viewers on the live stream.

Just imagine the crowd number when Ginebra is in the Finals, what's more now that Ginebra is not just playing for their team but rather representing the whole country against the foreign team. We are not just watching a simple Ginebra game here but rather it's like defending our nation.

But just concerned here that the Dragons were able to keep up with Ginebra even without import in the last game.

That is something they should be taken note of.

There’s a pride in here but still be crucial for Ginebra, they should not let Game 7 to happen better for them to end the series in game 6 or else they might be on a bigger trouble in game 7. Bay Area was able to overcome the crowd before as they prove it and take the two wins, so I don’t think they are still intimidated by the crowd. Ginbra have to bounce back, they should take game 5.

Will they play Nicholson in game 5? I think that's a very important game for them, so if Nicholson could already play, that would help them improve their chance of winning. However, if we are talking of game rigging here, then that is not important anymore as either team could win even without their import as long as the calls are on their favor.

Can we set aside the rigged or manipulation part? As far as my latest observation since watching right from Game 1, there might be questionable calls but that is something not that big issue to consider. The whole game of this series for me is still fair and square.

No update yet if Nicholson will play in Game 5 and the Dragons should wisely decide on their move regarding that.

According to the agreement with the league, if Nicholson will be replaced by Powell, there's no chance for him to get on board again once the latter got injured again. It's either they will play without an import or get Nicholson ready if he's fit to play. As of now, I doubt Powell is 100% recovered now since if he's really ready in action now, the Dragons will use him instead.

Well then, let's wait for the update later on.

As far as the latest reports I have seen regarding the status of Nicholson, his status is still questionable if he can play on Game 5.

Regardless, seems the Dragons do awaken their inner strength as they were able to win without their import.

Not sure though if the same winning case again will happen in Game 5 if they will still play without an import.

I think he will still not play in game 5, the betting spreads are out and Ginebra is still listed as the favorite.

As of now, they are -3.5 in this game, so if they will take revenge on their previous loss, they might likely cover the spread.
I got to trust them since it's Sunday and definitely we will have a huge number of crowd.

But if you like to stay safe, go with the total, currently it's 183.5, I think on the 4 games they played, there only one game where they scored over 180 points, so that's a good line for the under IMO. Also, maybe betting on Ginebra ML is safer too, who knows, this could be a close game, it will ruined the spread.

    -  I watched that too, in the first-half, the Gin kings Ginebra almost controlled the game with an advantage of 8 points. But when the 2nd-half started, the momentum of the game suddenly changed.

Suddenly the Bay Are Dragons caught up, if you look even though the team had no imports against Ginebra, the Dragons showed their strength and defense until they caught up with the advantage of the Ginebra Kings. This is just showing that the teamwork of the Bay dragons was good against Ginebra which beat the Bay dragons.

[jakelyson]

A few more minutes before the game starts. Currently, Ginebra is the favorite on Stake.com @ 1.48 and Bay Area Dragon @ 2.60.

The news is Nicholson is still unfit to play for game 5. His ankle is still swollen and sore. This is why we still have the Gins as the favorite for this game.

Though it is Sunday, we cannot still be so sure that Ginebra will win tonight. We may see a sudden splurge from Bay Area Dragons like in the last game.

Good luck to your bets.

Game 5 is very important and I'm sure Bay Area coach will play his final card here, either Nicholson or Powell or he will go with the same system that he did last game 4, he will allow Lam to orchestrate the offense and let all his players to play tough defense not to allow the Gin kings to overpower them.

We don't know what will be the outcome of this game 5, but we all know that it is Sunday game and we will see another huge number of fans to attend and support their teams.

As expected, Gin Kings had the lead now, an 11 points lead to be exact, but of course, the game is not yet over, we still have the 2nd half, let's see if the Bay Area will be able to come back to make it an exciting game.

By the way guys, I miss the spread on this game, for those who were able to bet, may Know what was it?

They are still ahead now actually, they seem to control this game. By the way, Kobe Lam was very limited here, they found a way to shut him down and the Bay Area is having a problem with where to get the points necessary to win. Looks like its already written in the script, Nicholson might be able to play game 6 to tie the series, that's my prediction.

That's a great prediction and yes possible to happen, they are playing according to the script. Well, Ginebra is doing a great job right now with a good lead they just need to continue this momentum and be consistent, Its good for Ginebra to limit the key players of Bay Area, there's a high chance for them to get the game 5 here. I was not able to place a bet because of a busy schedule, I might catch up in game 6 where Bay Area is expected to bounce back.

[Yamifoud]

Total attendance now is over 21k, that's a huge fans out there, Ginebra should win this.

However, they should be careful now, Bay Area is slowly coming back, the lead of Ginebra now is down to 8 points only.
Hopefully they will stay focus and will win this game.

[Russlenat]

Congratulations to the Ginebra Gin Kings, they successfully won the game despite the come back of Bay Area. Stan the man had a big contribution because his 3 point shooting are sinking in when Brownlee was doubled. Now, they are just one win away to win the championship, what a reward for the huge number of crowd.

Game 6 will be this Wednesday, that's a lot of time for Nicholson to continue the healing process. He is necessary to be in the game as Ginebra had already figured out how to beat the Bay Area Locals. What we have seen in game 5 is a collective effort, Gin Kings does not really too much on Brownlee, some locals are doing a great job especially Pringle who had his old game back.

Lam only had 16 points, while Blankley had a night with 29 points.

He have to play in game 6 or he will end this series on a bad situation, Bay Area should focus on their gaming plan because Ginebra really dominates game 5 and now on a good advantage to take the championship again. The crowd is exceptional as expected, 20k+ strong live viewers was there to cheer Ginebra probably this is one of the biggest crowd that Bay Area have to deal with. There should be no long rest for Ginebra if they want to finish the series they have the momentum now.

We can expect a more viewers even if the game is on Wednesday, many will anticipate that Ginebra will be a champion in game 6 which I also think is possible to happen. Though if the import of Bay Area will play in Game 6 they still have the chance to force this game on a do or die match they just need to play wise in game 6 and if their shooting is not that good, better for them to adjust right away and have a good plays in defense. Game 6 will be more exciting to watch, I’ll safely bet on Ginebra if the odds are ok.

Ginebra will try to win the game 6 if they can, they know that the visiting team is really tough and if there's a way that they can push the win I'm pretty sure they will not let that opportunity to passed. I like the way how the rotation for Ginebra, it's something that you will say that all the players who will have that chance to play will bring all the best to help.

Giving my Kudos to Pringle, that back to back 3 to seal the game, simply pointing that it's my time to Lam. A signal that he's taking his revenge on what Lam did to him in game 5.

Good luck, mga Kabayan!
