2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Maslate]

It looks like we’ve got some great matchups today!

In the first game, Meralco takes on TNT. This could have easily been the main event because it’s likely going to be a close one. The bookies have Meralco as a slight underdog with +2.5, and the total is set at 190.5. Given Meralco’s tendency to keep the score low and TNT’s shift away from heavy three-point shooting, the under seems like a solid choice here.

As for the second game, it might end up being one-sided, but who knows? Magnolia faces DYIP, and the spread is at -16.5 for Magnolia. With DYIP yet to secure a win, there’s a chance for a 20+ point blowout. For the total, 205.5 looks like a good line for an under bet too, especially considering DYIP’s struggles.

It’s a bit hard to predict the winner since both teams are strong, and their imports are also talented. I think I'll go with under 190.5 and hope that neither team reaches 90 points to stay on the safe side. There’s also a chance it could go into overtime, especially since it’s expected to be a close game.

As for the second game, it might end up being one-sided, but who knows? Magnolia faces DYIP, and the spread is at -16.5 for Magnolia.

The high spread is likely set to attract bettors for DYIP, but with a line like that, the right pick would be Magnolia -16.5, easy.

I don't know what's happening inside but a second before the game, TNT's spread increase to -5.5.

I hope this is not the works of mafia, because if it is, then for sure TNT are gonna win by dominating the Meralco here.

I might bet on that if I lose in the first game. I’m feeling nervous now because of the live movement; I hope my guess is wrong.

My doubt is right, haha. Turns out a lot of Meralco players didn't play, but they still managed to keep it close. They just couldn't finish strong at the end and ended up losing. Too bad about the loss last night, but maybe we can recover later if there are more betting opportunities.

Let’s look at today's games, as usual:

For the first game, SMB vs Phoenix, the spread is a bit high at -11.5 for SMB. Phoenix has shown they know how to win, but I still think SMB will win and cover the spread. For the second game, Ginebra vs ROS, the odds are even at 1.87 on the moneyline for both teams. I might be able to find a bookie with slightly better odds. Do you guys think Ginebra takes this one, or could it be a trap?

I'll go with Phoenix on the first game bro as SMB is not good on covering spread as observed in their last few games. Good thing for SMB is that they reactivated their previous import, Jordan Adams which is a high scoring import.

On the second game, i would go for Ginebra. This is a 50-50 ball game but i'm more incline on betting to the more experienced wards of coach Tim Cone.

Good luck to us, bet moderately  .

I might have forgotten, who replaced Adams last time? Seems like I didn’t notice, maybe that import wasn’t good.

By the way, not related to this game, Magnolia has a new import who used to play for SMB—Shabazz Muhammad. Looks like he’s still adjusting because he got into foul trouble last night, maybe that’s why DYIP wasn’t blown out.

On the second game, i would go for Ginebra. This is a 50-50 ball game but i'm more incline on betting to the more experienced wards of coach Tim Cone.

ROS doesn’t seem that strong, but why is Ginebra the underdog, could it be a trap bro?

[Finestream]

ROS doesn’t seem that strong, but why is Ginebra the underdog, could it be a trap bro?

Seriously? Not strong, Just look at the ranking. (https://pba.ph/standings) ROS is currently at the number 1 spot now in Pool B and yet you call them not strong. I respect your opinion though, probably your judgement is based on their past performances but they are a strong team now based on their ranking.

1. ROS  5-1
2. Ginebra 4-2
3. SMB 4-2

ROS is more aggressive and the way those young stars are playing they surely got the shot against Gin Kings, though as per coach Yeng, he will completely believes that his investment with those young stars are already fulfill and will believe that they are strong if they win twice against the never say die Gin kings, let see if how they will play the system and if this is just  a trap there's adjustments that may take place or better to watch out and play your money during the live game before taking your side.

I thought it was going to be a close game, but it wasn’t. Brownlee carried the team to a huge victory, and Holt was amazing, he didn’t score in the first half but hit six 3-pointers in the second half. He’s a great pick-up for the Kings. I thought he was only good for defense, but he proved me wrong.

ROS really fell short. It seemed like they were hyped up for being the number 1 team, but they’re still lacking compared to more experienced teams like Ginebra. I was also surprised by how high the score was, but luckily I bet on the over and managed to cash out.

Two more games, and I’ve got a feeling the first one’s going over. I’ve been tracking the line movement, took a screenshot last night.

Last night the total was 204.5, and now it’s 208.5. I’m betting the over on Meralco vs Pier.

Great pick, it was definitely a high-scoring game with both teams putting up a total of 228 points. Nothing too exciting about that first game though since Northport played without an import. It was really hard to beat Meralco because their all-Filipino lineup is still strong, even though Durham only played around 6 minutes before the end of the 4th quarter.

Now, the second game was super exciting. I thought Converge was going to blow them out since the spread was pretty high at -16.5, but Terrafirma dominated the first half. In the 3rd quarter, Converge went on a big run, but Terrafirma fought back in the 4th to regain a solid lead. Then here’s what happened: another game-winner from Hopson. They didn’t even think about overtime because he hit a 4-point shot, and that sealed the game. Converge won by just 1 point in a low-scoring game, and Terrafirma missed another chance to win, still winless in this conference.

Yeah, that's also what I expect as ROS really fighting so well during the las 3 quarters but in the final set JBL showcase why respect from coach Yeng really deserve him as import's goat, that kind of productions when the team needed a lift, he's always present and he's alway a go to guy when they need good offense, though local players do add good numbers to complete the domination in the last quarter beating ROS in adouble digit leads.

Phoenix vs. Blackwater

Over 219.5 and Blackwater -7.5 ^{(raised the line a bit to get better odds).}

The second half really turned into a high-scoring affair. You hit the total, but unfortunately missed out on the point spread. Converge finally got a win, and it came at Blackwater’s expense. I thought it was going to be a blowout, but Blackwater made a strong run in the 4th quarter- just fell short in the end. It was still an entertaining game though. Too bad for Blackwater’s import, King, who played great but couldn’t take over when it mattered most in the 4th.

Almost a good comeback but run out of time, I see the eagerness but that first half run of Converge gives them that edge winning this game, it's so happen that there's a big numbers that Blackwater needs to catch up and as how the game works only one team will win, Converge secure that game and finally mark a win for this season.

The Last game is a massacre though sister team we are not sure if they are really competiting or it's just a bad shooting nght for Ginebra, unlike with SMB most of the players if not all who played really contributes decently.

[bisdak40]

SMB Beermen massacred the Gin Kings with the score of 131-82, almost a 50 point blowout win for the Beermen.

Lassiter also dislodged Jimmiy Alapag from the number one spot in the all-time 3-point made records. I failed to put a bet on that game but i could have won since i'm a Beermen fan.

The locals from Blackwater weren’t performing well early on. It’s a shame because if they had played better in the first half, they might have won and covered the spread, even though it was a bit high. But the Fuel Masters were really desperate for a win, and they finally pulled it off. They lost on the spread, but at least they made up for it with the total.

The Last game is a massacre though sister team we are not sure if they are really competiting or it's just a bad shooting nght for Ginebra, unlike with SMB most of the players if not all who played really contributes decently.

I just didn’t get around to posting it, but I won with -4.5 at 1.95 odds. I wasn’t even worried because it turned into a total blowout. SMB was really undermanned, and Marcio Lassiter was on fire—he broke the record for the most three-pointers made! Congrats to him—Super Marcio in full force!

Taking a break today since there are no games, but I’ll be back in action tomorrow.

I forgot to highlights that record breaking achievements for Lassiter I think it take time to break that one as like Steph he still active and can add more to his own records, as long as he can still play the game we never know how many more that he can add for this new record, and the good thing breaking that win is against the heavy crowd favorite team, though not a good one as the outcome is totally a blowout game, Like what I've said a massacre where there's nothing Ginebra can do to stop the bleeding, ends up winning for those SMB fans both ML and Handicap.

I haven’t seen a consistent three-point shooter like Lassiter in a long time. It's gonna take a while for anyone to catch up, considering we're talking about three-pointers made, not just a lucky four-point play. Lassiter is fortunate to be on such a strong team, giving him more games and chances to rack up those threes. His shooting stroke is something else - he’s a streaky shooter with a fast release, and his game revolves around the three-point line. That’s why he’s hit these crazy stats and now holds the crown as the GOAT of three-point shooting, though not necessarily the GOAT of the game overall.

Last night’s game was rough though. I was expecting a closer one, especially since they’re sister teams, but with so many missing pieces, Ginebra didn’t stand a chance. Japeth was their only real shot in the paint, and he couldn’t do it all by himself. Go got injured last game, and Malonzo is still out.

Lassiter is lucky that he had Fajardo in the middle to grab those rebounds in case he miss those 3s while Fajardo is also lucky that he had Lassiter waiting in the wings in case there is a double team on him down low, they just complement each others game hehe.

Meanwhile, we had two games today and the second game between TNT and Magnolia caught my attention with TNT as a slight favorite and i think they will take this one.

My Bet: TNT -3.5 @1.88 vs Magnolia

Even though you have written half of your text in Italian, it seems like you're discussing a pivotal basketball player named Lassiter and his extraordinary contributions to the game. According to your comment, he's become the best at three-point shooting, achieving records that will take time to break. His skills, quick mechanics, and the way his game revolves around the three-point line have allowed him to excel and become the "GOAT" of three-point shooting.

You also discussed a recent game that was not particularly competitive, with Ginebra missing key players which led to their defeat.

Finally, you mentioned an upcoming game between TNT and Magnolia, predicting TNT to win.

You asked whether I was an expert in football earlier, but could I assist you with any other information about basketball?
