2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[bisdak40]

A hard situation for TNT.

They already aware of the possible outcome that they will lose the series but they might not accept that they only won once.

Even without Castro or Parks, I think TNT will not just give up. I even see them winning Game 5 and the series will end on Game 6 with Ginebra as a champion.

I don't know if Castro can play or not on Game 5 but he will miss that game then it's going to be over for the Katropa. They can live without Parks but it is a different thing if Castro is not playing. Montalbo and Vosotros are not yet ready for the challenge on orchestrating the game plan of TNT, just not yet.

If the Gin Kings will be crowned champion, my vote for the Final's MVP goes to LA Tenorio.

Castro would not risk his health, though he is not getting any younger but he is still very valuable to his team.
The injury of castro is even serious than Parks, since when Park was injured in the game, he was able to finish the game, castro did not came back.

If the Gin Kings will be crowned champion, my vote for the Final's MVP goes to LA Tenorio.
 

He is the captain of the ship, his smart plays really makes his team a winner, a well deserved win for him and he can add that in his achievement.

TNT missing Castro, Parks is like Ginebra losing Scottie, Pringle, says Cone

I believe he is right, so with this statement it's like he is saying that Ginebra will win because their best players won't be able to play. \

I wonder what would be the betting odds for tomorrow's game, it looks like bookies has not finalize the odds for game 5 as it's suppose to be out already by now. I have checked 2 gambling sites and I don't find odds for this particular game.

I'm also shipping for LA to be the finals MVP but still that's not for us to decide. But if he does, then that will make us proud who shipped for him to receive the title for this PBAs first bubble conference.
Later, we'll see if it's the final game or there will be a followed up game or it will end 4-1 for the Gin Kings. Who's eyeing for a 3-2?

Odds are out and it looks like Castro is not available in game 5.

Betting odds are as follows.

TNT 2.36 and Ginebra 1.60
TNT +4 and Ginebra -4

Very possible for LA as his leadership really dependable from this final series, Not just for directing the game but also helping to produced quality points to keep them at top. But whoever declared as final MVP that player deserves the award especially if Ginebra take this game today and win this game 5.

Very tempting handicap -4.5 @ 1.85 Castro and Parks less TnT, if the same momentum for Gin kings this
will be over for Batang Giga.

[bisdak40]

End of the first half and the score is 38-36 in favor of the Gin Kings but still it's a manageable deficit for the Katropa and if they manage to keep this close until the fourth quarter, they still have a chance to grab this one.

Whatever may happen to tonight's game, i'm ready  .

@Finestream and mirakal be ready to send me your btc addy  .

[Finestream]

Thank you @bisdak40, sending you my btc address.

It's a close game, I thought TNT would be able to extend the series, luckily Ginebra has the NSD spirit and they win the 4th quarter.
Congratulations to the Ginebra San Miguel, they really deserve the championship.

@Finestream, I will take the other half (BTC0.005), TNT here to win in the Finals.

sending you btc address too. Thanks.

Barangay Ginebra San Miguel did it! Congrats to all BGSM fans and betters. As the team manifested determination, many are also praising coach Tim Cone and is now called the winningest coach in the rich history of BGSM.

According to coaching Yeng who was one of the commentator of tonight's game, Ginebra was like winning a grand slam because it's the only conference in the year 2020, and it's kinda unique conference. Maybe next conference if we have the vaccine, and Fajardo will be back, SMB might give the depending champion some trouble. Anyway, let's give this moment to them, I have a high respect for this team, but I'm still with SMB with Fajardo.

[harizen]

I just about to place a bet for TNT but my entire yesterday was spent on the bed because of a hangover lol.

Congrats to BGSM. The series just didn't go to close as everyone is expecting. TNT fell out short. They can keep up with Ginebra's phase until the momentum got destroyed in the 4th quarter. Lots of wasted attempts in the 4th including the lack of aggressiveness in the defensive rebound.

Finals MVP is the subject of concern by the others. LA got even surprised when being called his name. He is lucky, coming from a serious operation because of the injury prior to entering the bubble and then still able to play at his best.

[goinmerry]

Maybe next conference if we have the vaccine, and Fajardo will be back, SMB might give the depending champion some trouble.

According to Coach Leo Austria, the aging of most SMB players is one of the reasons why they weren't able to compete in this All-Filipino. LOL isn't it? It's like Coach Leo just admitted the SMB is trash without Fajardo. If that his mindset then this team, even with Fajardo, is still nothing next conference.

But looking at the positive side, SMB still has lots of caliber players compare to other teams. With Fajardo's possible return next conference, they might reign again the All-Filipino Conference.

It's just coach Austria's alibi on why they did not make it to the semis lol. Coach Austria's strength as we all know is Fajardo and without this gentle giant, Coach Austria's stay as SMB's head coach won't be long and we should also give credit to him for unleashing the Kraken in Fajardo.


Congratulations to all Gin Kings backers, have fun and enjoy your winnings  .

Another SMB team got the trophy this season which most of us here in the forum does not like lol but Coach Cone is just so brilliant of a coach that i think Columbian Dyip would be champion if he will take over.

In short, SMB depends in Junemar. Without his presence, San Miguel can't go further in series. What Coach Leo said seems to be disappointed for a fan of SMB like me. He totally depends with his players, a coach should always find a way to improve other player skill and game.

Btw, congratulations to BGSM. They get what they deserve to have. Its just being normal to me to see this team again in finals. I hope in the next seasons, we will see new faces holding the trophy in finals. There is no thrill anymore if the team is consecutively win the every series.P. S. I'm not a hater of ginebra.

[Maslate]

Congrats Ginebra and backers, it was a well played series, their roster really made some great defense especially in the winning time, and that is the lacking part of the TNT that hopefully they can improve next conference. Pogoy earn the spotlight this conference although his team lose, both players Pogoy and Ray Parks are good scorers but they need to blend well in order for the team to be effective.

sending you btc address too. Thanks.

Noted, I received your btc address, thanks for the nice game though my team loss. 


Though with a heavy heart, lol....I would like to say congratulations to the Ginebra San Miguel, Tenorio as the MVP is another success for LA.
I heard it's his first all Filipino cup championship and his first Finals MVP, so it's a double celebration for him, he will not be retiring soon for sure.

[mirakal]

@bisdak40, I received your message, segwit btc address has been sent.

I was quite busy in the past few days, I even missed this game but I'm happy Ginebra able to finish the series early.
Now that the PBA conference is over, we will look for the new conference and wait what's going to be the set up.

I think it's not a bubble set up anymore.

Cone hopes to have Slaughter, Caguioa, Devance back in 2021

What do you think guys, is it possible to see Slaughter back with the Ginebra line up?
It seems like Slaughter is still getting in touch with the team as he even congratulate the team for the win.

That would be big if that will come into reality, getting a better Slaughter since he was training in the US would be a boost to the team's defense and offense and they can be fully prepared as Fajardo might be able to play in the next conference.

He is already done for Ginebra maybe right now he is on another track of his career as a pro basketball player. I remember seeing him play when I was a teenager he is skillful and can do his thing on the court. he is such a secret weapon for Ginebra, I'm also hoping for his return and will unite with the legend Mark Caguioa.
