2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[harizen]

Impressive performance by NLEX. They have a good start on the 1Q but that was spoiled by TNT. After the half, that was where NLEX now turns it over. After establishing a quite small to narrow lead, they try to maintain it until the final buzzer.

What I noticed is that (here I go again lol), Pogoy and Rosario seem not likely attempting to make a 3-pointer. They are silent although their production is still good.

As NLEX Coach Guiao, there are just lucky because TNT is having a bad night. "Lucky"? coming from one of the strict coaches in the league?

I thought that TNT is unbeatable at the bubble and bet for them as they are up against NLEX, a bottom dweller. I forgot to remember that this is PBA and anything could happen especially if the game is against sister teams. I don't want to say anything against them but next time i would put my bet on the team with a lower ranking as they might have a little help from their sister  to get back in the winning column.

[Finestream]

Let's move on to the 2nd game.

The undefeated TNT vs the struggling NLEX with 1-5 score in the bubble.

I like the NLEX here because they are the desperate team, TNT is likely to qualify in the first round already because of their perfect record but I would like to see NLEX making an upset here, they are +8 prior to the game, so that's a great plus points already for a desperate team.

NLEX only +6.5 now (LIVE)

You nailed it, NLEX played solid and they've defeated the number 1 from this bubble, the 3 combo guards carried the team and it's nice seeing them played very inspired.

The bubble really unpredictable seems that the chance of NLEX is very slim and  with the handicap like that, very enticing for bettors.

Lucky to those who believe especially those who bet with ML as the profits from the
win for sure is more bigger. Cheers!

Yes, those who bet on ML had a good sleep, 

TNT shooting was not falling, I wonder why? NLEX just got a good game with everyone contributing, Jericho Cruz and Alas has been playing well and Quiñahan this monster again played well but again did not finished the game due to another flagrant foul, I wonder what would be his penalty with that as he was so consistent in the bubble.

[chaser15]

Yes, those who bet on ML had a good sleep, 

But that was a risky pick and I think most of us here will not bet on Moneyline for them.

The best option for betting on a team against the monster is by handicap and the +6-+8 for NLEX is really an attractive pick. Congratulations to those who able to bet on that line.

NLEX played well but can't imagine why TNT becomes like that. They have the ability, as the number 1 in the standing and so far have the most complete monster lineup in the league, to make the game close. With that NLEX win, they just need to force for a win on their next games to make them survive the possible elimination.

Yeah, I nailed it as I have a feeling that NLEX would really win, and in fact I don't only trust them to win, I also believe they'll win by a good market so this bet slip was created.



Thanks to my instinct.

Not me, I do risk more than the ML bet. 

[Vaculin]

Nice hit @Russlenat, who would expect that TNT will lose against one of the worst team in the PBA, now we see how sister teams act, looks like TNT are not playing with the will of winning, NLEX on the other side just gave everything they have to be back in the winning track.

That last seconds of the game I was having heart attack because NLEX was so careless, they had 2 turnovers and that made TNT to come close to their score, but NLEX handled it well, they still got the win.

BREAKING:

In compliance with the recommendation of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID) Technical Working Group and the Department of Health (DOH) Advisory Group of Experts and to ensure the integrity and safety of the PBA Bubble, the league is postponing the games starting TODAY, October 30 - Friday, until the new protocols proposed by the IATF and DOH are out in place.

The PBA would like to thank the IATF, DOH and Clark Development Corporation (CDC) for their continuous support and guidance.


With the series of continous postponement of some games, the PBA bubble is not success. Thoughts guys.

Well we can't get confidence enough or to relax in these teying times of pandemic. Even if the cases continues to break down still the virus is present and could be highly contagious if people will continue to break the protocol especially the wearing of facemask, face shields, and to observe social distancing. Other than that cleaning hands often will be ideally should become a routine to avoid getting the virus. This is very important and that thr postpone is important for the health of all people get invovled in the PBA bubble.

That's a very bad news, do you have a link to see where this information is coming from?
I did check at the pba oficial website but I can't find that information, it should be coming from the site if we are talking of official announcement.

Better add the source to avoid plagiarism.

The league only have 2 choices after what happened to the PBA bubble where there is a case of COVID19.
1. They continue the league with risk on it so that the teams will have enough exposure.
2. They stop the whole league and fix the problem.

Now they've come up with the 2nd one and I think that is the better decision to be made after a new case was done. One legit FB page said that "Postponed until new protocols proposed by the IATF and DOG are set to ensure the integrity and safety of the PBA Bubble".

My thoughts?? Until they will not finish a whole season, the PBA bubble isn't considered to be a successful one.

Just search "One Sports" facebook page and they already posted it that they will be postponing the league until further announcements or updates have been made.
I don't think that they will post fake news like this.

[Sanitough]

I think the game was really suspended because I just got a refund from my sportsbook now, and for sure they know about this information.

So this is a failure? probably because the virus has entered in the bubble which makes the place not safe anymore.
The effort of TNT and other top teams will be wasted here? hopefully not..

That's concludes everything, no bet or now, so it's time to just relax and watch nexflix maybe.
I don't really liked what's happening, their protocol was not safe, they ruin everything, they invested a lot here and now it's gone.

So this is a failure? probably because the virus has entered in the bubble which makes the place not safe anymore.

What more do we need to know to conclude it's a failure already?

[Vaculin]

I think there's still a chance that the bubble will continue, it was only suspended temporarily and players are still inside the bubble.

As we can read in PBA postpones all bubble games, awaits release of new health protocols

SMART CLARK GIGA CITY - Games in the PBA bubble are postponed starting today (Friday) as per order of the IATF (Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases).

Resumption of the Philippine Cup will proceed once new health protocols are issued by the Department of Health (DoH) and IATF.

The scheduled games on Friday at the Angeles University Foundation gym between NorthPort and Magnolia (4 p.m.) and Barangay Ginebra and defending champion San Miguel (6:45 p.m.) are the first to be affected by the latest decision of the league in an effort to ensure the integrity of the bubble.

In view of this, team practices have likewise been ordered temporarily suspended.

However, amenities inside Quest Hotel such as swimming pool, gym, and jogging area remain open for use by those inside the bubble.

We should already know how to verify sources for big news like that since it can be spread out quickly on social media.

Unfortunately, the PBA official website isn't reliable in terms of updating quick news. Sports5 and the PBA Facebook page is where that breaking news is posted.

The PBA boards don't have a strong decision and a good plan. They stopped because DOH and IATF asked them to do so. But if these government agencies didn't step in, they will continue because they believed their bubble is not breachable.

Actually, I'm just waiting for the website to post that news and that's where I will get the link. I have read that news on their FB page only a few minutes after they posted it so I copy and shared it here quickly then logout. It's better for me to post the link coming from a PBA website and not on Facebook so I decided not to share the FB post link.

But I think should not a problem as you guys will eventually know that the news isn't fake. I also thought that regular posters here are following their FB page.

That's right it's temporary. But IATF new guidelines takes time to release. Either we have to wait for months or possibly, the resume will be on next year. I posted here before that PBA should be careful with their next move. If only they suspended all games after one of the teams got isolated then they should address the problem much earlier without the intervention of IATF.

The news is not fake, I followed their facebook page but not really paying much attention on the news they would post, the main reason is just I want to watch a live streaming of the PBA games. Now, we are again in waiting game, we never know when the IATF will issue an update regarding this but I'm sure they will make it faster as this is a big event, people hosting this event are business tycoons in the Philippines.

[harizen]

PBA is not 100% ready for this bubble setup. It's not even a bubble when we look at the whole.

Lots of tests were done before anyone can step on the bubble but still with the strict protocol, they have been breached. What I don't like is they are still comfortable that their setup is still 100% virus-free after there is a reported case. They even don't listen to DOH about what tests should be done.

I was just about to purchase a virtual fan slot yesterday but the link is not working or maybe the slot is now full. Hassle on refund just in case.


Edit: October 31

Update:

PBA games resume Tuesday, additional protocols in place

Looks like they addressed the situation quickly and tip-off will now resume Tuesday, next week.

Great news, I thought we will need at least a month to see this game again, now that it has resume, hopefully there will be no more interruption so the fund will continue. Players now have enough time to rest, somehow this sudden suspension still help them though.

I just saw the video coming from a popular sports vlogger and I'm quite happy that those 2 cases that happened in the bubble were false positives.

Overall, the bubble is still safe right now and players may return again to practice.

PBA fans and bettors are very happy with this since they can watch those games again .

Definitely, we will be able to watch the game by Tuesday, we were not expecting this as we think it's a serious announcement that requires more time before the PBA will come back, maybe that's the reason why PBA players still remain in the venue despite of the game suspension.
