2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Question123]

We know that Philippined basletball Association have a lot of great teams but this is two which is SMB and TNT is one of the best of them and for me it's hard choose between but it depends to the performance they show to the watcher TNT is better for this.
But still not know who is really deserving to win it depends again to their game.

Have you guys see this video? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSsajuxIF8k it talks all about racism from what arwind santos did towards to terence jones. If you’re a truly fan of SMB we all know that they doesn’t not play like this, they should’ve respect their opponents despite for winning.

He may have gone too much here. The game was still on that time and both of them have been doing their best to get into each other's skin. I also don't expect them to stop doing that until the series is over. When you do something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF5OwqQxIbE, expect some retaliation.

Both are deserving to win the title as they have both good performances, SMB all locals have the big edge but due to the import TNT get the higher edge, even SMB have the lead from this series but it's not over yet as TNT have the capabilities to bounce back, do or die would be a much awaited if the series will be pushed.

Game 6 will be anticipated as both teams will try to win, SMB for the title while TNT will try to push it to game 7.

They’re one step ahead to grandslam and win the championship to this conference. I’m a fan of both teams, but I hate the fact that in every game SMB doesn’t show up a good game because they losen up a respect for their opponent, especially to T.Jones who’s even not our countrymen but still managed to give us a nice game and not even bothered to all annoying things SMB showed up.

Just hope the international sports media will not take the issue into a much more big issue as we all know TJ tagged most of them in his post. That was a sensitive issue. Can't understand what on earth Arwind Santos think of doing that. He is already a veteran in the league so I'm not expecting he will do that kind of gesture just to tease their opponent. He can do trash talk, that was normal, but he must remember the limit. I didn't like his response of not taking an apology especially the line "If Jones got affected to that, then he is really a monkey".

With that 3-2 lead, I think it will gain confidence for SMB fans out there and I do expect that someone will now challenge my bet . I will still bet on TNT to win the Series for BTC0.01. But if SMB won the series I will pay BTC0.008. That was worth to put a shot. Message me or quote this post. Valid until 12 hours before Game 6 starts.

Still no takers even SMB is up by 3-2 lead?

I will change it a bit. I will bet for TNT to win the series for BTC0.01. If you pick SMB you will win the same amount. Yes, that was a risk for me knowing TNT are down by 1. If SMB won tonight, you win, if SMB loses, you still have a chance at Game 7. What an advantage.

19:00 is game time. This offers valid only until 17:00, August 16, PHP time.

Most probably yes.He would accept top altcoins.Its really a tempting offer yet you do already have the advantage.Sadly i dont have money to take this deal.

Yes, I'm open to that for this just to happen.

However, I currently have few portions of ETH on-hand at the moment and don't want to withdraw some on exchange. I will still pay with BTC if I lose, BTC0.01 fixed. If I won, someone will pay me the equivalent value of it to ETH. I'm just thinking about what time should I based the snapshot.

This is what PBA Commissioner acted, given Arwind Santos for a 200,000 PHP fined from monkey gesture he did towards to TNT import Terrence Jones.

San Miguel Beer forward Arwind Santos has been fined P200,000 by the PBA for his monkey gesture directed at TnT import Terrence Jones in the second quarter of Game 5 of the PBA Commissioner's Cup Finals last Wednesday.

PBA Commissioner Willie Marcial, who summoned Santos on Thursday, said the San Miguel player will also render 100 hours of community service and undergo seminar and counseling on equality and racial discrimination.

Apologized as well...

This should be a lesson to him. I hope in game 6 they play more objectively to their particular same way of playing. One step ahead to grand slam, so SMB must shown a nicely indeed good game.

That's a huge penalty, although he apologized which is good, but it's just right to impose him a monetary penalty.
Because I can't believe on the huge penalty, I made a research on how much Santos is making in the 2019 but could not find the exact figure.

I only found this list of "Top 10 highest paid PBA players" https://www.trendrr.net/10957/highest-paid-most-successful-pba-players-salary-famous-richest/

Santos rank at number 5, so I think this will not hurt him a lot.

I will take that. My team is SMB to win the series, I am going at the maximum amount of 0.01 BTC.

Deal?

I'll take the offer if no one else has already  
No need for any altcoin conversions. Already have decent odds on SMB to win against stadus but I can't pass on @ 2 odds when SMB is a game up

@Harizen, i'll take the deal if it still open and no need to convert to ETH. Will pay you in BTC if SMB will lose.

LOL, I guess there's 3 of us already who accepted the offer, I hope Harizen can accommodate all of us, and if he can only accept one then since I'm the one who first accepted this offer, I hope he will close the deal with me.

[Viscore]

@harizen has a very good offer that is hard to resist but I hope TNT will win in game 6 so there is be a game 7 which is going to be more fun.
SMB always find ways to win despite being down in double digit in the last game, so they could possibly win in game 6 but TNT should be aggressive all throughout the game, not only in the first half but it's more important to remain aggressive in the 4th quarter.

I am more on the favor for SMB to win this championship as they are far more experienced in this match but that act Santos gave was pure racism, hope that the community service for him should be against racism.

I am guessing this will really be a grand slam for the SMB only if they will really put more pressure on Jones as he is the one that really plays well for the TNT. It's gonna be tough for SMB as Jones is really unstoppable on the court but knowing the fact that he played many roles and minute plays that will be the advantage SMB gonna take as exhaustion will really blow up for him.

It will be a good pressures for both teams, chasing a grandslam is always a dream for any teams inside this league while pride will be at the side of the opposing team as they will not give it up that easy for anyone who are trying to achieved this goals, good rotations and many more new strategy for both teams to comes up to win the game.

Will see later what would be the outcome if the series will be extended or SMB will grab another Grand slam.

Do you think the issue about Arwind Santos and Terrence Jones will let TNT Katropa will win tonight and this series?
Because, on TNT Katropa side, they will work hard especially that racism issue, they will really give SMB hard time especially that Arwind Santos, more physical battle, right?
On the other side, SMB will be mentally down because of the issue of their team-mate Arwind Santos, it will really bloody tonight. TNT Katropa for the win!

I doubt that SMB will have a meltdown just because of that issue. I think they only feel sorry for the Php200K penalty but not with the taunting (turned to racism). Jones will be fired up on the next game for sure but I do not expect the SMB players to back down and just let him dominate. As I said in earlier my comment, I don't see the taunting for both teams going away until this series is over.

Arwind hasn't been really scoring in this series but the issue may get him fired up also and start draining 3's. Let's see.

Arwind has been effective even if he is not scoring much in the series, he has turn to become a defender from being consistent good shooter.
Also, SMB has a lot of shooters, so Arwind does not need to do his usual task which is to shoot 3s, his job now is just to annoy Jones so he will loss his focus. Tonight will be a do or die for the TNT, they will have to respond with the last game's meltdown if they want to bring this in the last game of the series.
