2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[harizen]

IIRC, the worst record was owned by Blackwater as they are winless last conference and I guess it's followed by Terrafirma. These two teams are really the worst in the PBA, they only improve during the conference where they have an import, so I believe they will be competitive this new conference as long as their import will contribute base on our expectation.

Terrafirma makes a name last conference before the playoffs of the All-Filipino Cup this season if you remember. Their final standing is 4-7 which is just the same as Ginebra and Phoenix who get the last spot of the playoffs. They are just behind only a few points on their quotient. That's not the worst record compared to Blackwater that whose last win was way back in October 2020.

When PBA resumes in Pampanga to continue the All-Filipino Cup, Terrafirma performed impressively on their first 2 games beating the Giant teams in the league, San Miguel Beermen and Brgy. Ginebra. That's the time when the community voiced out that top teams should not ask trades on this team to make it balance.

Hopefully that it will retain to zero since other countries have been already detecting their first cases. In our country, many were fully vaccinated and have taken the first shots and boosters.
It has helped to mitigate the contraction to other people that have also the virus. It's actually good that the IATF was already loosening the other restrictions and this is in favor of all of us and as well as PBA management.

I also looking forward to that. It sucks to see sports activities and leagues being halted again because of this lockdown due to a new threat. We need sports to fulfill our entertainment that is being limited during the times of lockdown. IATF is sensitive at allowing sports activities and if this new threat will reportedly spread within Manila, PBA will back again on scratch. The effort will go to waste.

We are already close to the next step of allowing a live audience. I hope it will happen soon to somehow feel the live audience impact.

It's actually unfair, you see on different places and you see people gather around. While for sporting events, they're stopping it despite that in parks, cinemas, and other gatherings, they're allowing it.
Hopefully, that PBA can really be back in action with the live audience since we're all waiting for it. The cases have been stably going down and it's going positive that we'll see games with live audience soon.

[Sanitough]

Excited about the game tomorrow?

Who's waiting for the betting odds like me? As of now, odds are not available yet in my bookie, so I will have to be patient and will just wait as for sure it will be up soon since the first game will start 18 hours from now.

[LogitechMouse]

As of now, there are no omnicron variant cases that have been reported in PH.

Hopefully, it will stay that way, as one case reported of Omicron virus may mean a lot has been infected already since PH health workers are not so active in detecting early virus spread.

This will not happen.
When COVID19 started, many hoped that it will not enter our country but it happened.
When Delta Variant has become a variant of concern, many of us are hoping that it will not enter our country but what happened? We know what happened. Cases surged to its all time high but fortunately we got the control already.
Now Omicron variant is the new variant of concern and it will enter the country whatever the government will do. Its only a matter of time until this variant will come. I'm not pessimistic, I'm just stating the reality that this variant will enter .

What the IATF can do right now is to just delay the enter of the variant to our country what I'm hoping too is that the Governor's Cup will not be stopped because of this Omicron Variant.

I got the same sentiment about that, nothing can be done to avoid this new variant, the best thing is to suppress the possibilities of widespread in our country, DOH is planning to re-implement all those protocols, much better in my own view, protecting yourself to the extent that you also protecting your love ones.

We do need to be extra careful, though it's more entertaining watching PBA in a live venue, but loving your life is more valuable..

2 Games right?

A good start to place your bet once the odds already been provided by bookmakers. Change my mind, I'm planning to parlay both Favorite

SMB and NP if odds for combining are decent, but if not, I'll be going to wait for a live bet and seek for handicap, opening might be slow and

very unpredictable since we don't know how those imports will influence and carry the teams.

I don't usually bet not until I saw every team playing on the court since some Imports are new and I'm not familiar with, I decided not to place my bet yet. Today is a big day, and its good to see them back in the City playing the basketball. Some teams have their injured players, I hope it can't affect their performance. Imports are expected to deliver good points on this conference, let's watch them.

There's a late closure for the ports and airports and that's why the virus got into us. I still remember watching the news of the very first covid19 case found in San Juan.
I've read about omicron that it only causes mild symptoms and I'm just hoping for the best that it will not really be dangerous. The same concern when the first news about the delta variant popped up. We're too worried but it tends to be mitigated already in our country. Well, just waiting for some good signs as IATF gives the entertainment that we all want through PBA.

We have overcome the more dangerous variant which is the Delta and I think we can't handle this Omicron also through vaccination. Reports have said that population vaccination in South Africa is not too good that is why it is spreading there quickly but that will not be the case here in our country because Filipinos are starting to embrace Covid-19 vaccines.

Excited to bet here for the games tomorrow but there are still no odds for those games, maybe tomorrow morning PH time they will place the odds.

[Maslate]

Finally, betting odds are now available, but so far it's just one game.

Although its hard for it to overcome thru that option but I think the government action to ban those flights towards those affected countries is good counter measure by government. Lets hope that this variant will not penetrate in the country so that we will not get back on heavy restriction again since its so frustrating to stay at home without anything to do. Will also see the game schedule tomorrow to know if there's a good team to bet or I will just watch it.

Until now there's still only one game available for betting, this game will start in less than an hour so the excitement will be over soon. Good luck to whatever team you think of betting but I feel I like the underdog team here. Over 190.5 as well, imports usually produce a lot of points and would result to a high scoring game.

Odds for the Road Warriors and San Miguel Beermen are also up now.

SMB is the heavy favorite with 1.30, while Road Warriors is 3.35. If you want to take the spread, you can have the SMB at -7.5.
Not betting yet in the last game, I'll focus on the first game and hopefully I have a good start so I can finish with a good bet on the next game.

[Shamm]

I thought that SMB will win in their match cause in the first half they are in lead and their import brown doing great which is 30+ points in the first half.
But on another side which is pretty much good, they are quiet but makes me shocked when in the fourth quarter start  Joseph Ronald "J. R." Quiñahan doing great as well as their import Mc Daniels. They carry their team to win against SMB.

I thought so but I was lucky enough to win that game. I lose my first bet actually but had a great win tonight in overall.

Look at my lucky bet x4.62... that first half gives me some thrill.

With the recent news that I've watched, the boosters will be the ones to mitigate the risk that this Omicron variant is bringing. So maybe if IATF would be too loose on their restrictions, it's okay to allow audiences that are fully vaccinated.
That should suffice the requirement for them to allow people that are longing to watch some live basketball matches from their favorite teams. It's just a matter of decision for them and a few talks probably.

I also heard that Omicron could spread faster but its effect is not worst than the previous variant of covid-19, so there's nothing to worry about, we should see some live games soon if that news is true. By the way, congrats @Sanitough, that's a good start. Last night, all underdog won the game.

Obviously many didn’t expect Road warrior to win against SMB but since they work a lot on that and there’s a lot of bad plays with SMB, they got the chance to take over the lead. The first day of the conference was a blast, its good to see players doing their best to win, we can expect more with the other teams and fortunately I didn’t place my bet because I late to see the odds.

Obviously, the underdog won and its not a surprise since they have the imports to help them win and its good that it work for the Road Warrios. SMB also did a great just, they just can’t handle to chase the lead enough for them to win, but that’s ok this is just the start and they can have a good team connection later on.
