2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Hypnosis00]

Ginebra won the game, it's 1-0 now.. I was scared a bit when NLEX got the lead, I thought Ginebra will lose tonight, but good thing they didn't disappoint me. All favorites win and covered tonight, nice game by Thompson again, another double double and Tenorio also had a big contribution.

I won't mention Brownlee anymore since we know he would always lead the team to win.

86-95 Final score.

The captain gets the player of the game, LA Tenorio had a good game and Ginebra took control in the last few minutes of the game. I hope to see a more competitive game 2, I don't want to see a swept by Ginebra in this series because I feel it will make the fans board. 

In the first game, Lee, Abueva, and Jalalon led the local, and their import also scored 26 points while the import of Meralco only scored 10 points.

This was an intense game and I really thought NLEX has the advantage over Ginebra but this game proves to me that I'm wrong and yeah I lose some money since I place my bet on NLEX, I guess better luck on next game. Ginebra always eager to win and now with a great team work, but still I believe NLEX can over come them, let's see that in the coming games, this is far from over yet.

No help from the locals. That is the problem with NLEX that is why they lost this game.
Only 2 players scored in double digits against 5 from Ginebra. Their offense is coming from their import only and nothing more.

Either way, Brownlee is that kind of player that you can rely with if you are part of the Ginebra team. Another one is the chemistry of the team is there already since he is playing with Ginebra for a long time.

Anybody watched the Meralco-Magnolia where Magnolia won the game? Meralco just let Magnolia score 12 points in the first quarter and let by 8 at the half but the Hotshots dominated the second half and won by 14 points. One thing more is Bishop has been totally shut down by Magnolia and he only scored 10 points with 5/19 shooting. For sure, Meralco will make a way to win Game 2 and I hope Bishop will not play like this again in their next game. Congrats to SMC in getting their victories in Game 1.

Ginebra loves to play better in the 4th quarter, that's why they are the NSD team in the PBA.

The next game will be this Friday, make sure you double your bet so you'll make a profit once NLEX would even the series.
I'd say that Ginebra does not fully dominate the game, unlike the first game where Magnolia really dominated the Meralco Bolts.

However, I'm pretty sure there will be an adjustment that will be made in game 2, so watch out for that.

NLEX loss there steam during 2nd quarter to 3rd quarter of the game, I really don’t know what’s the problem with the sudden drop of game performance during that quarter but they start to gain momentum again on 4th quarter but still short to overcome a huge lead given by Ginebra during the 2 quarters they are playing slow and not focus in the game. Ginebra is very good on capitalizing the weakness of there enemy and also they are unstoppable once they hit there momentum. I’m still with Ginebra on 2nd game, Maybe the adjustment for NLEX will take effect on 3rd game since they give a half of this game to Ginebra and it only means that there something wrong on there strategy.

NLEX wont give up here, they will surely bounce back but of course Ginebra will not be on a complacent mode here since NLEX is not an easy opponent and they did great in elimination so a more possible come back scenario for NLEX so I agree on betting double here because the next game will be more intense. The NSD mantra of Ginebra always bring them a good luck, but on this conference they should not depend on that and do better on the early quarters to have a dominating win against their opponent.

[Distinctin]

I’m still with Ginebra on 2nd game, Maybe the adjustment for NLEX will take effect on 3rd game since they give a half of this game to Ginebra and it only means that there something wrong on there strategy.

Why would they wait for a 3rd game? They need to make an adjustment by the next game, otherwise, they are at risk of getting eliminated early. I think this is a best of 5 series, so if Ginebra will get the first 2 wins, they'll likely win the series too.

I’m not saying they will wait for adjustment until 3rd. What I’m implying in my statement is they will have a hard time to fully adjust on game 2 since Ginebra is completely control them for 2 quarters and the rest is a close fight. Based on this huge gap, I concluded that even if they adjust on 2nd game, They will have the full effect on 3rd game because the 2nd game will just serve as trial for there new strategy. Adjusting your strategy doesn’t mean that coach Ginebra will just watch them and so nothing. Ofc thy will still prepare too just to maintain there lead. There’s always a chance of reverse sweep even the first team get the first 2 games.

Anyway let’s just watch and bet happily.

Would be an interesting game 2. We have seen how Ginebra manage to control in the last few quarters of the game.

I was thinking maybe they will lose this game then try to be better in game 2, but Teniente Tenorio is not willing to give the fight and

show his leadership. The blend between Ginebra players is great. They know how to handle the pressure and they rotate the ball so well.

NLEX needs to adjust. They should learn how to relax and make a good plays even their opponent is rallying, they play and try to beat

Ginebra in their momentum. Not a good strategy to hold with your lead.

Two ISP in the PBA, it's a good competition for this two. So when Globe will have their team too? lol..

I'm not sure if there's any other ISP in the PBA as another franchise, the one that's just recently confirmed is the Converge.
Probably no way of Globe getting in, the other one that's likely to wait for a slot is PLDT. But I don't think these two huge telcos really need to get into the league and have their franchise. As of the moment, it's only Converge as the ISP in the league.

Maybe he meant that Pangilinan owns PLDT, who is also the owner of TNT / Smart. Converge is the new owner after buying Alaska not sure if there's no relationship between Pangilinan and the owner of Converge it would be nice if the one who bought the franchise is Ditto or Choks that would be a real threat.

Choks can compete offering a decent amount of contract and additional perks, maybe the reason why Magnolia switches from using the hotdogs to their chicken business, they don't want the same line of business to compete with wide exposure like the PBA.

PLDT is on a volleyball, most probably they are looking for alternatives aside from basketball since there’s also a huge number of viewers for volleyball but I agree that they don’t need to enter into a franchise since they are already a top telco players. Converge coming into the PBA can help boost their business, especially now that a lot of telcos players are already out in the market.

I don't know what's the deal of allowing Converge to join the PBA but i have read that there was some sort of a special negotiation, just hoping that it is not that they will become a farm team of TNT lol.

My bet for the first game last night won, i thought Magnolia will lose that one but they came back in the second half to secure the game, same thing with Ginebra.

Seems like we are heading to an all SMC team finals this conference huh.

[harizen]

As expected, these 2 teams will emerge the first win. Just worried about Magnolia early in the period as they are being downed by 17 at most.

I will skip betting on Moneyline on these teams on Game 2 as I smell a comeback by those losing teams but instead will look at how the handicap or spread will be provided. Well, also depends on the odds.

Let's see the odds next game.

They worked hard to cover that deficit and fortunately they are able to win, such a great team composure and really focused on correcting their errors and win the game. Ginebra may not dominate the whole game but at least they won the game as expected, game 2 will surely be a hard one and its hard to predict so I might not place my bet to save for the last game.

Yeah possible and it wasn't just explained clearly. As for the Chooks to go, they're mostly advertising only with PBA ads but I'm sure that there's also been an attempt to get a franchise.
But, they weren't granted as there's some conflict with the current franchises that they have and there's the competition so the PBA committee granted Converge instead.

[goinmerry]

Dbag scam team/league does it again (3rd game in a row), NLEX up 39:23 after 15min and in the next 15min they are 12:33 , makes total sense.

When does FIBA or any supervision look into this shit and stop this?

Do you even watch it live or just follow the scoreboard?

They are all Oscar's Best Actors if they did it on purpose. They will end up as a Hall of Famer of any Acting Rewards body since they are all good at it. Imagine they are able to control the ball, perform a proper defense, perform better gameplay because of their acting skills.

You should also be able to see if the majority thinks of that way but only a few. Just move on.

Chooks-To-Go won't make it to the PBA as they already have a stand-alone campaign which will make things just complicated.

But we can't clearly rule out the possibility in the future.

Chooks-To-Go products are also the same as Magnolia which is owned by SMC and we know how influential and powerful SMC is to the league and one of the core companies while PBA is still standing.

Prior to Converge getting the Alaska rights, is there a list shown to the public who offers to buy the franchise?

[Finestream]

I did not read anything about that, I guess the negotiation was just in private and since Converge had the best offer, they were able to get the Alaska rights. For me, this kind of advertising is very helpful for their product as they are planning to expand nationwide.

There is a chance that it will only happen if:
1. There will be a team that will sell their franchise and they will be the ones who will win the bid.
2. The PBA will make an expansion and adding more teams.

With these 2, I think the first one is more reasonable to happen because I don't think that the PBA will expand and add more teams at least for now and in the next 2-3 years maybe. Another question that comes to our mind is that if Chooks-To-Go is owned by SMC then they will have 4 teams already and MVP only has 3. Is that mean that MVP will add another team for himself incase they will join. Another question is that if Chooks-To-Go is interested in joining knowing that they already have a separate league that is conducting. Anyway, congrats for Converge for joining the PBA. I just hope that they will not be the same as other independent teams out there and with regards to the list of bidders who joined, I don't think that they posted it only or they will post it online.
