2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

It is very bad what happened in the Philipines, but fortunately the strength of the storm seems to be slightly less than expected.
Hopefully the total damage of everything will not be too bad and we will soon be able to enjoy basketball again.

Well, the game is on the move and will continue on November 3, 2020, and the PBA bubble is intact after showing that all 12 teams are negative of COVID 19 and I think many fans are very excited about watching PBA matches again

and my picks on the match tomorrow

BlackWater VS San Miguel

I am guessing that San Miguel has a 75% winning chance against BlackWater and may Score 104 VS 90

Phoenix VS Columbia Dyip

This fight will be very hard to predict to be safe I think Phoenix will win and has a 65% in doing so and may have an ending score of 105 VS 97

Ginebra VS Alaska

This will be a dog fight duel and both teams have a 50% chance of winning It is unlikely very hard to predict, But I am guessing Alaska may win this and the play can have a score of 94 VS 95

He is still young and he seemed to have a good relationship with his players so that is a great factor to consider for a team to become a championship team. SMB veterans will retire soon, this Phoenix team has a great chance to dominate if they'll continue to mold their young superstars.

That's very important, having a good relationship with the team build more trust and confidence from each other, he can pull a player anytime trusting that the player will deliver.

It's too early and coach Topex is still young, he already have all the things he needed, just now he's in-charge executions will be coming from him, unlike when he still played as assistant.

The team still have a long years to play together and just like your point about the SMB, the
stars are now getting older. Time for other team now to work harder and build the franchise
for a much better chance of getting a title.

Successfully registered at their Virtual Audience. I thought there's a fee and I want to support the league but "IT'S FREE".

I've got a spot for 2 games later, Phoenix vs DYIP and Northport vs TNT.

I hope, I can check-in. The timeslot is not the usual timeslot we have been used to, 1 PM and 4 PM.

Northport just becomes a practice session for TNT Katropa. Highest lead was 36 points, are NP's players serious?

Their team is doing nothing like before. I don't want a farm team like this. Lots of wasted talents. No competition.

This team needs a better coach, and we have to remember that Anthony wasn't playing in this game, he was injured but he will come back soon, however, not enough time for them since they are in the bottom already. TNT are just moving the ball very well, they are shooting well because they have already balance their offense, 3 points and inside offense, they will be a dangerous team to face in the bubble to be honest.

NLEX with another huge win again, after they beat the TNT, they again beat ROS which one of the top teams in the bubble now.
Jericho Cruz been playing like he doesn't wanna go home early, they are on a 2 winning streak now and their defense have really improve a lot.

Jericho Cruz in the interview said there was no pressure on them, they are only playing like they are in the training camp, what does it mean?

Are they out of the competition already, that they feel no pressure anymore?

Maybe they are just trying to calm themselves, if they don't fee that pressure, they will play with harmony and coach Yeng admitted during the post game conference that they are not in good shape at the start of the conference but they are slowly getting back to their good shape now.

What's remarkable was Jericho Cruz, I'm happy that he was given a lot of minutes in his team now, Cruz was also one of the reason why they win against the TNT, so with him in the floor, they have a great energy.

As we can see in the standing.
https://pba.ph/standings

They are already rank in number 8 spot and I think if it's the same format before, the top 1-4 are going to be in twice to beat advantage and the 5-8 will be in disadvantage.

So 1 vs 8, and if they'll remain in the 8 spot, they will face the TNT in the elimination which I believe they have a chance since they beat the TNT already in the bubble.

We will be able to enjoy basketball again since it's a private organization, it will run even our countries are hit with strong typhoons. Our government may struggle again, but I hope they'll still able to fund the necessary expenses to repair the damages brought by the Typhoon Rolly.

Meanwhile, let's just enjoy the game, 2nd half for the Meralco vs Blackwater is about to start.

Meanwhile, let's just enjoy the game, 2nd half for the Meralco vs Blackwater is about to start.

This one is quite a close game, Blackwater rally in the 2nd half to make it a close game but they are still short in the end.

The last game of the day are already playing, Ginebra vs Blackwater, hopefully it's a low scoring game as I put my bet on the under 187.5 for this game, it was a huge bet for me, the biggest today as I believe on Ginebra's defense.

Very exciting, win or loss, at least I'm enjoying the game now.

I've watched an interview with coach Yeng where he was asked why they are on the bottom of the standings and he conceded that in a bubble settings the more talented teams will likely to dominate and he also accepted the fact that they are still to play as a team as they lack the time to practice together. That may be reason why coach Yeng is not pressuring his boys and he let them play as it is a tune-up game lol, just my thought.

Coach Yeng shouldn't take any reason why his team is like that. He is not the type of coach who will just do nothing that we are used to.

Instead of switching into his usual rage type of coach wherein even a small mistake is not tolerated, he becomes soft to his player.

I know they are far behind in terms of comparing with other team rosters as it's no secret, big teams will always have the best player but at least, despite of having a poor roster, we should still him as a fierce coach like when he's still on Barako Bull and ROS. He managed to extract the best performance of those non-popular players on those teams.

How could he act like that if he's team continuously losing and he doesn't have guns to rely on? Maybe he's not soft but frustrated with the result of his roosters I'm sure losing affect his phase that's why we see him not so fierce compare when he is at barako and ROS. The management should act and get a talented guys next season if they want to win the champ but seems this one will not gonna happen.

Even he do that players are no longer afraid in physicality and coaches from each teams are also willing to take the hit. Management needs to add stars that they can relied with.

The players of NLEX needs to be consistent they've played well from their last game against ROS seeing them to really trying to hold from this bubble.

Still got the chance if they'll continue winning and just one game ahead from magnolia
they can keep the chance incase Magnolia lose.

[goinmerry]

Management needs to add stars that they can relied with.

That's the problem with that team. They are a small team and can't manage to offer a good contract to superstars. And even if they want, they can't trade players for a good exchange. They should make superstars in the making within on their own team with the help of a dedicated coach.

There are mental problems inside the bubble as other players can't be pumped without a fan. But there's no room for any reason as other teams are doing their best too.

But they are doing well already, they beat the 2 good teams and they are in the winning streak now, I think that's all they need in order to boost their confidence again and play like a real team really. I will not stop betting on the NLEX, I would still bet on them as their streak might still continue, that is regardless of which team they will face next.

[Japinat]

Enjoying the Meralco vs Rain or Shine game now.

I thought it was a high scoring game as they had a high scoring start, but in the 2nd quarter they only managed to make 35 combined points, I think the pace will continue, Rain or Shine are just so steady when it comes to their game, they want to play the "grit and grind" game.

Who's rooting for the Rain or Shine here?

What a game, it ended up a low scoring game but an exciting one because ROS made a big rally in the 4th quarter and it give Meralco a scare.
The effort of ROS is good but it was just too late, congrats Meralco for the win.

I was not able to put my bet for this game, but I've watch it lived.

Last game for today, I'm picking the FuelMasters to win here.

Same here  and i was lucky that i was able to bet for Phoenix @2.20 early as the odds have shifted in the evening making the Phoenix LPG the favorite of this game @1.65 odds.

53-52 end of the first half, very close ball game with Lassiter hot in the 2nd canto but i doubt he could carry it on the second half.

One thing i observed, the Beermen just could not bring the ball down low to Tautua where there is a mismatch.
