2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[goaldigger]

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.

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.

Yes its too early to speculate since some teams don’t have enough trainings but that is not an excuse for you to lose, you still have to do your best despite of that odds. SMB loss at a shocking score, they have to bounce back and work with that connection or other teams will take advantage of their situation.

What happens to https://pba.ph/? They are not updating it timely anymore, no recap for the games yesterday so we can't check the stats of the players in the 2 games yesterday. I also don't see live streaming in the first game which was usually hosted by smart.

If you are also looking for a live score, I think https://www.flashscore.com/basketball/philippines/ will not display anymore but we have a good alternative which is the https://www.sofascore.com/basketball/philippines.

Like last All-Filipino Conference, it's a good bet to take risks on underdogs at the early games of the conference.

I hope even with the SMB loss, they will still be the favorite on their next game I will bet against them.

As always happens, to who's in charge of updating the PBA website, they are so slow and not keen on updating the information that their site visitors like to see. The Governor's Cup game schedule was even first posted on the PBA Facebook page and related sports pages.

Handling the website should not be a problem for a big league that is backed by the biggest companies in the country.

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.

Yeah, also Pfizer has announced that its booster shot is effective on it. So, there's nothing to worry about the said variant, and guys, maybe you haven't seen it yet.
I've seen that there's a live stream on the Facebook page of "Smart Sports" for PBA games, so if you're just sitting in front of your computer or you're on a travel, you can easily watch there.
I'm watching now the game of BlackWater and Rain or Shine.

But the point is how many such shots we have to take. Variants of Covid19 are not stopping as they keep on popping every now and then, so we will also keep taking shots or is there any end to that?

Thanks for sharing this, I am watching it now too. Rain and Shine are dominating the game with 60/45. Seems like Rain and shine will easily win this game.

[Yamifoud]

Thank you ROS for winning the game and I won my bet as well.

I took the ROS to win 11+ when they were down in the 1st quarter, I'm glad they score the last seconds in the 4th quarter to secure the win of my bet.
Guys, ROS has a great import, Walker is an old PBA import who really did well in his past team/s.

Congrats mate, that was a good win for you. ROS really struggle in the 1st quarter but they were able to come back easily. The import of the Blackwater is not a good FT shooter, so I think they'll be in trouble if they will not replace him as he also does not dominate inside.

Nice one! At first I was thinking Blackwater was an improve team but after that first quarter double digit lead,

the rest was history, ROS change the direction of the game from 2nd to last quarters, they dominated and did not give any hope to Blackwater

to rally back, the handicap that Yamifoud have is something unusual considering that ROS is much better team than Blackwater.

Three, they've said that and it's with the booster shot.

You're welcome.
I've just found it out and even with or without television, we can now watch the games through their page. It made our lives easier wherever we are.

That's not unusual because you can have that through live betting. Not sure about the spread in pre-game but I'm pretty sure that ROS was the heavy favorite to win. Live betting gives some opportunity for bettors to find value especially if the team is down as bookies usually offers high odds.

Don't know how many games will be played today but in the bookies, it only shows one, Batang Pier vs Road Warriors.

Against SMB Beermen I bet for NLEX +7.5 and I did win that match. McDaniel is a tested and tough import as well that is why I'm rooting for them that night and against Batang Pier, will be rooting for them once again hehe.

Road Warriors -4.5 @1.84 vs Batang Pier....

Good luck on that mate, also rooting with the same team to win, but I'll instead go for ML.

[goinmerry]

The game between Northport Batang Pier and NLEX Road Warriors is intense.

NLEX Import KJ McDaniels 40 points production on which 11 is on overtime, they able to escape the close game with the Batang Pier. With that win, they now established a clean 2-0 record to start the conference. If able to maintain that import's dominance, I hope NLEX will be one of the teams that can manage to give problems to those big teams.

Northport decided to exclude their import on the starting lineup. I don't know what they are thinking.

For the first game Good win for the NLEX Road warriors good teamwork and cooperation bring them to victory. 113 -120.
For the game 2
I don't know what happens to SMB this is their second time losing against Alaska Aces. Which is bad start for this conference.
Their first game and this game are little bit similar cause in first quarter they got a lead but in the end they lose hmmp.
For those betting Alaska aces congratulations for the win. Alaska aces has a standing 2-0.

Congrats   Another good catch they've got this in overtime, didn't watch the game and upon checking to PBA official there's no info about the recap I need to use flashscore to view the actual score, they've won in overtime with 5 points lead, not bad for you Kabayan, two wins in the row great start with PBA betting.

[Kelvinid]

Another loss for SMB.

Not a good start for this heavyweight team in the PBA, they are now 0-2 officially and Alaska are looking good with an undefeated record. Looks like the decision of the management to trade the veterans was a bad move. what do you think?

[Vaculin]

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.

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.

Indeed, good thing that the booster shots will work because these shots were created in the first place before omnicron variant was born. The IATF should allow these because it's part of their plan to boost the economy again in the Philippines, but I think just a 70% capacity because we know that these PBA games are played indoor. As of now, Philippines is starting to gain back to normal and no reports of this new variant.
For that, I think the schedules will be intact and people are really excited to watch again, including me.

That's great news, we should be optimistic that one day the PBA will be allowed the audience in the arena to watch the game so we can finally say we are slowly going back to normal....

and just read the news. a really good one.

PBA to welcome back fans next week upon return to Big Dome

THE PBA is headed back 'home' by next week.

The pro league was finally given the go signal by the Quezon City local government to play its Governors Cup games at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, where fans will also be welcomed back to the games.

Commissioner Willie Marcial made the announcement on Friday night after the Alaska-San Miguel game at the Ynares Arena in Pasig City, which had hosted the first two weeks of the import-flavored conference.

Games will be played at the Big Dome starting on Dec. 15 until the end of the year, including the final leg and grand finals of the PBA 3x3 tournament.

@bisdak40, That was PBA Governor's CUP, Bookies have rarely added these games. Only 2 games are settled yesterday (Northport vs Road Warriors)(San Miguel vs Alaska)
I think that Northport played really well but just fell short of The Road warriors. Was a really close game to be honest and also a fun game to watch. And by the way congratulations on winning the bet, nice decision btw. The final scoreline was Northport 115 - Road warriors 120.

I never knew until visiting this thread that Philippine Basketball has such a huge betting community. Can someone share credible site that show betting odds for 2020 Philippine Basketball and also where I can see live streaming. My interest is developed only after reading comments in this thread, I am sure its something exciting.
