2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

Game 3 for Ginebra vs TNT today, I think I like to put my money with TNT, I believe they are the better team and they can bounce back and beat the Ginebra to end the series. Line now is just even for both, or we can say Ginebra is a little favorite to win this game, but that doesn't matter for me as they beat the Gins in 2 games already.

The adjustments that the Ginebra made in Game 3 give them the win. Jones didn't play like he played in Game 2 because of this adjustments and if it will continue, I think there is a chance for Ginebra to win the next 2 games. The shooters of TNT didn't play well as they are not shooting well from the 3 point line. Its hard to bet right now but I think TNT has a higher chance to win in this game 4.

So it's both 2-1 now, I was expecting SMB to sweep ROS but kudos to them for hanging on. It was a good back-and-forth battle.

I still expect the Beermen to reach the finals (3-1) and TNT (3-2).

I expect it already that ROS will not like to be swept so I put all of my money to ROS and got lucky with it .

The 51 points of McCullough is not enough for them to reach the Finals. Game 4 will be tomorrow. Lets see if the SMB will win or the ROS force a Game 5 .

Expect some adjustment from the TNT too, Ginebra did not hold their lead as TNT came back roaring and even lead in the game, it's just that Ginebra played well but they did not show a dominant that TNT has made in the first 2 games.

It's game 4 today bud and i'm betting for Ginebra on this game and hoping there would be a do or die game on Saturday. They have the momentum now and for me this is what is needed for this short series.

Ohhh sorry, yes it's game 4 and I think the series will end tonight.
The line has already change, TNT has suddenly become the favorites here with 1.69 ML, but I guess with -3.5 it's still a good bet as in the last 2 games they beat the Gins over 5 points IIRC.

TNT must win the game tonight, they are working well in the past games and I think they have a better chance to get the championship again. Though Ginebra is not an easy team to beat for, this is a good match to watch for considering the crowd of Ginebra its really amazing. Let's see who will win tonight.

Hello there, I'm a genie and your wish is my command jk. Congrats, your hopes do come true and I also agree with you. TNT definitely deserve the spot for the finals because their harmony as a team was way more obvious than GSM. How impressive to see a small line up beating those giants when it comes to offensive rebound and still pull off the series despite of their import having a foul trouble. Just wow! Congrats to TNT and better luck next time for GSM fans out there (like me) .

[Johnzky]

Maybe Jayson Castro’s skills not enough this time mate,as The Barangay take the third game and may extend to a Game 5 if they win the following game.and besides this is how Ginebra making proud their fans by being good in recovery.

Like the record of Robert Jaworzki being a playing coach..

Well, I suppose there are times like that thing can really happen and the expected straight win can be a recovery for the opposing team, And even though Jayson Castro didn't prevent this round to go for Ginebra, I guess there are still a next time and at least TNT is on the lead so that's OK with me, but a possibility for GSM's comeback and that is what TNT will need to look out for, Because the team of Ginebra is a kind to lit when pressured.

Big check buddy because as what we all knew about Ginebra is a team that become more aggressive when they are in lower odd so this means basics for the fans to trust and still believe even that Talk N Text leads the match

But again we will only find the result after the game ends lol 😂

I still expect the Beermen to reach the finals (3-1) and TNT (3-2).

Oh well TNT finished off the GSM already and now waiting for the winner of SMB vs ROS series. I was expecting the TNT vs. GSM series to go to game 5 but it's all good since I didn't put a bet for game 4. I would have lost for picking GSM

[harizen]

All my winnings from Game 1 and Game 2 on TNT just loss on BGSM's Game 4 loss. LOL. Game 3 is for safety.

I'm with TNT here but I'm expecting Ginebra to even the series and if I win, planning to go all out on Game 5. Stanley Pringle is just a hype. Yes, he is good at Globalport but looks like he isn't used in playing on a pressured semifinals game like this. The reason I go with TNT is honestly because of him. No way he can replace what Sol can do that's why BGSM got a hole in their line of defense. Tim Cone is overconfident he can blend the team well with Pringle to the point that he gives decent playing time to him.

Well, it's Pringle's first conference with BGSM team. Maybe some changes will happen next conference, especially at All-Filipino cup.

Anyways, does anyone wants to bet against me on the Finals just for fun? A side bet while doing your usual betting on your favorite sportsbook.

I will message you LOL... I'm also with TNT bro, I wish there is a series bet for PBA so we don't need to do this.
I feel that if SMB vs TNT are are going to play in the Finals, TNT has the advantage since they are faster compared the SMB with Fajardo as the center.

I wish too that they have that kind of market in the bookies, "outright" i think is the term they used on that one where you bet on the winner of the series. That advantageous to us bettors as we have the option on what handicap we will bet, but i think online bookies will not do this as they think PBA is just a small league with less follower.

SMB and TnT have advantages and disadvantages on their team and it would be interesting to see them in the finals. For me, SMB has the edge here because of size and agility of Fajardo compared to that of Slaughter.

We will see that in game 1, but Jones is also a beast inside, so I think they have an even chance but and it will only boils down to which team we think will win.

It's the end of the line for GSM this conference. I really thought that they would survive another match and lead to Game 5 but with their consecutive errors and the opponent's teamwork, TNT was able to snatch the game and go to the Finals. Well, better luck next time to my fellow NSD fans.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the win of SMB against ROS. And I'm hoping that they'll win this conference versus TNT. Even though Brgy. Ginebra 'San Miguel' didn't win, at least 'San Miguel' Beermen will (I hope so. ).

The problem with GSM is that they can't make a good rally when they are down because they don't have good outside shooters, they have to rely Brownlee on that but he was guarded well and that's all the TNT has to do, even one of one with Jones, brownlee will struggle due to size advantage of jones and athletic as well.

ROS just got lucky in the 3rd game, who would have thought Belga's 3 points will sink when he is not known to be a good 3 point shooter, also, ROS did a good job with Chriss Ross limiting him to below 10 points IIRC.

The first half is a close fight and they got the lead after the half time but the shooters of TNT heated up in the 2nd half and in the last minutes of 4th quarter, Jones lead the way and the buzzer beater of Castro put them away and demotivates them . Anyway, there is still Governor's Cup so maybe they will get their revenge there.

I think Game 4 will be the last game for the ROS so for those ROS fans here, just don't watch . Kidding aside, I think the SMB locals must help their import and the import must learn how to pass too. There are many shooters who are free but he chose to shoot it even it doesn't went in. Game 3 is a 1 to 5 match.

[NavI_027]

I think Game 4 will be the last game for the ROS so for those ROS fans here, just don't watch .

Well, do not conclude yet until the game is over but to be honest I also have a gut feel that SMB can now sweep ROS tonight. I'm not a Beermen fan but lately I'm getting curious whether TNT's Trollano, Pogoy and Rosario can do their sneaky tip ins and offensive rebounds against the Kraken. Hmm, I don't think so since Fajardo is a better center than Aguilar and Slowter .

We need to wait till the series ended before jumping to another one,  ROS able to survive game 3 and it can be repeated again the chance still there
extending this series, but in the other hands since TNT already finished GSM might be better also for SMB to finish this series as well and move up,
It would be a good match between this two teams, it's a great match anticipate the thrilling series for both teams if SMB able to finish and win the series
over ROS.

SMB vs TNT is a good match, that will attract a big crowd even if Ginebra is undeniably the crowd favorite in all PBA teams, but they didn't do well this conference so that fanatics should now support their sister team which is the SMB. I like this match up because each team are not own by the same company so this means war and that's all what the fans wants in a game, physicality should be there.

[Botnake]

Update, halftime score is 41-44 Rain or shine.

Suddenly, SMB can't score in the 2nd quarter after they dominated the ROS in the first quarter and I hope they will play more defense in the 3rd and take the lead, they are  3rd quarter team, so I'm counting on them.

Good luck to those who back on the SMB in this game.

[bisdak40]

It's official now, SMB vs TnT in the Comissioner's cup finals. Clash of the titans they say but the way i see it, seems to me that the Katropa has a little edge on this series by just looking at their performance on the semi-finals.

Maybe OP can change the title of this thread since it's already the finals  .
