2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

By the way guys, who watched the NLEX vs Magnolia? I was just too unlucky I don't have a balance anymore in my bookie.
I saw a good line which was x14.something and I could get that odds if I have a balance, that could have give me a good payout.

Yeah, I saw the game, just unlucky on your part but I was never really tempted to bet on the Magnolia despite I know they can come back, that's just too risky but I'm glad they win anyway as I bet on them in the pre game.

Congrats for Magnolia for that comeback, hope to see more in the coming games.

I wasn't anymore expecting for a come back, but they did, I was so happy that night while watching the game.
NLEX already lost twice in this conference after playing a good 1st half in their last two games, I hope Cruz is alright, he was injured in that game.

Our local sportsbook have that odds, https://sports.msw.ph/en/sports/227-basketball/75477-philippines/76312-pba-philippine-cup

This is the first time I saw odds on Favorites/Futures wherein at least the top 4 teams are having close odds.

Fajardo is really a big impact. He can move the odds like a trading whale lol.

And look at Phoenix FuelMasters, they topped some of the best teams too. Is that an Abueva effect?

Both names you mentioned are big factors with their odds, imagine if Fajardo will play and SMB still have everyone.

In the other side, FuelMaster with Abueva's addition the team can provide competition which be harden form their opponents knowing his impact with the whole rotations.

Personally, I like the odd for TNT, with the line up that they've got and the possibilities that
Castro might retired soon the intentions of getting another ring for might be a good one to add to his personal legacy.

[Sanitough]

NP vs Phoenix, it's another game where NP has struggled, I'm hoping that they will come back in the 4th quarter.

It's been all Phoenix, I took them live at 6.4, jut in case they will come and that should give me a win in this first game of tonight's double header.

That's a great point, they are now the heavy favorites as they got Ray Parks playing with that, and in his first game, he was really playing well, like an import. First Pogoy, 2nd game was Ray Parks, Jayson here can do only his PG job effectively.

Unfortunately NP still lose, it's their 2nd straight loss while Phoenix had a 2nd straight win, did the change of coach really help? I thought they are more playing with good chemistry here though Calvin was still not playing, and Matthew Wright and Perkins were really huge in this game.

C. Stand on the other hand was the top scorer of his team, finishing with a double double record but he has an awful FT shooting.

He was 6-16, that's very low, if only he has converted those miss shots, that would probably give them a chance to win in this game.

@bisdak40 @harizen @Maslate Thanks for all the info.

I wasn't even aware that Fajardo hasn't recovered from his shin injury yet. Standhardinger would have been very useful at times like this if he wasn't traded. Chances for a six-peat for the Beermen has been cut to half I guess. Still a strong roster though.

What's happening with RoS? I wasn't expecting it to be at the middle of the table based on the odds.

Funny experience today while I was searching for PBA website. Instead of basketball, I visited the bowling page. I thought it was pba.com

ROS wasn't anymore the ROS you know, it's under a new coach and full of young players, the odds is justifiable but they have a shot to win in this conference as they are good with defense and they have a good leader. What I believe is that every team has a chance to win without the "KRAKEN", so it's their chance now.

I was also directed to that page before when my first time to search for the PBA's official website.

Now watching PBA game Ginebra vs Black Water Elite.

It seems like PBA has come up with the idea like the NBA. The set up is almost the same where I think the fans will be virtual too. There are already wide screen set up and I think later on fans virtual faces will soon going to show up. Not sure though but it seems like this could be possible. However, the live was still showing both teams in warm up. I wish to Blackwater to win in this game. Ginebra had shown great already in their previous plays and game and wanting other teams to step up and make it to the Final game.

Same here buddy, Blackwater has an edge here as there's no fans for Ginebra in this game.
I bet on the underdog because I like how Blackwater played in their first game, Japeth also is not 100% yet, so hopefully Blackwater would abuse the paint.

current standing - https://pba.ph/standings

not updated yet as Phoenis is suppose to be 2-0

Lost my bet on that one too. I thought at first that NorthPort is one of the teams to beat this PBA bubble with the presence of CStand but it seems that something is lacking in them. Bolick could be a good addition if the management allows him to play, he's a good compliment to CStand and Sean Anthony. Maybe the management of Batang Pier is observing how their team perform without Bolick and they are good without him then it's time to cash him out lol.

That's a great point, they are now the heavy favorites as they got Ray Parks playing with that, and in his first game, he was really playing well, like an import. First Pogoy, 2nd game was Ray Parks, Jayson here can do only his PG job effectively.

If only "Machine Gun Kelly" did not retire, this TNT team is a sure champion this season for me  .

Today's second game is interesting, SAN MIGUEL 2.06 vs TNT 1.69.
Who you've got?

I wasn't even aware that Fajardo hasn't recovered from his shin injury yet. Still a strong roster though.

He's now back in practice but not with his team. We can notice he's now recovered but his body needs some workout or light physical exercise. There's a practice video of him just recently. He is doing perimeter and three points shots as an exercise.

He has that shooting rhythm. If he can utilize it, I don't think someone could stop him 1 on 1. But in the actual game, I doubt he will always do that shooting.

Funny experience today while I was searching for PBA website. Instead of basketball, I visited the bowling page. I thought it was pba.com  

Not just you. I also experienced that before thinking it's .com and not .ph. But if let's say you input it as .com.ph it will redirect to the PBA basketball website.

Haha! I just checked the website and it's truly a bowling website. I might get back on track as my father is watching again the games. Would love to have a bonding time again with him while watching PBA games. Just like last night, watching Ginebra vs. Blackwater.
And Ginebra won the match.

The idea actually came from the NBA and they've taken the idea of going into a bubble. At least they've made a decision of doing it for the fans to have them watch again their matches.

Today's second game is interesting, SAN MIGUEL 2.06 vs TNT 1.69.

A tough game to cap TBH, however, since TNT has already win twice in a row, I think they are due for a loss here and I am backing on the SMB to win here. The first game of SMB wasn't good but they are a legit team, they usually bounce back and that would be at the expense of TNT.

I just want to share my observation on the Ginebra vs Blackwater, I just saw how big the fan based of Ginebra as it's my first time to see in this conference that a certain game had over 100k viewers on their facebook livestream, and that really tells people love Ginebra a lot that even online they show their support.

[Kasabus]

SMB vs TNT, this is a PBA Finals potential, I'll be watching this game and I love to see Romeo doing his thing again, he is the only one I like in the SMB and I always follow this player especially during his time with the North port, he is a true blooded Filipino but a real star, I don't know why he has not able to play for the Philippine team when Yeng coach the Gilas.

That's the 2nd game of today's game.

SMB loss their 2nd game against the ROS, now, against a tougher team of TNT, this is one of the best match up to watch.
Romeo only scored 11 points in that game, that's not him, it's not his number, so expect that he will start early in this game, I think this game could go over since both teams are pretty much efficient in 3 point shooting.


Let's talk about the first game.

ROS vs DYIP,  I think I'll bet on the DYIP here, CJ Perez and his team will bounce back and I love the fact that they are the underdog.

2.74 odds for DYIP to win, GL!

There's a big line movement, DYIP is now only +3.5, I'm just curious what's happening here, IIRC, it was opened at +6.5 or +5.5, but now it has changed, does it mean that DYIP will win in this game, if it would happen, then I would be happy as I took the early line, though for the moneyline.

^^ that's the reason why TR7 did not see action on the Philippine Team under coach Yeng.

Sans Junemar, Terrence Romeo will be the go to guy on this SMB team because he is more capable on scoring on his own when badly needed.

[Finestream]

Suddenly the game of ROS vs DYIP has become so interesting, DYIP has rallied in the 3rd quarter to make it a close game, it looks like they still have a chance of winning this game, good luck to them, Adams hasn't showed a lot yet, hopefully he will explode in the 2nd half.

That was a bad game for DYIP, they lack on defense, they came back but they still give up their lead, they are 0-2 so far, the opposite of ROS record.

Meanwhile, we have a fun game to watch, SMB sv TNT, TNT is ahead early, let's see if SMB will rally and make it an exciting game.

I don't know if SMB can still come back in the 2nd half, they allowed themselves to be dominated in the first half.

First half score is 38-57, that's 19 points lead by the TNT.

Odds for the game. x9.5 SMB moneyline, take it or leave it.

+14.5 also in the game.

[Russlenat]

+14.5 also in the game.

That didn't hit either, SMB was just hype, they are different without Fajardo, that's a real talk.


2 Games today;

Blackwater Elite vs NLEX Road Warriors  (+1)
-NLEX has to at least win in this game, they are still 0-2 in the bubble, and I believe it will be a high scoring game, so I'm betting the over and some specials.


Alaska Aces vs Magnolia Hotshots (-6.5)
Coming from a huge win, now playing against a struggling Alaska, underdog bettors, this is a good game to bet on.

Note; this line could move, posting early just for reference.
