2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[agustina2]

Too much of the controversies guys. Others just fall into the trap and don't anticipate that Meralco win takes Game 1. Too much confidence that they can't stand against Ginebra even for 1 game. Bookies have no way to be part of that rigged or manipulation.

If Game 1 is manipulated, I admire their acting skills. That was hard to act in front of a live audience.

Let's just move on especially BGSM fans and be wise in analyzing your next bet.

If you are a fan of Ginebra, you will bet on them every game, and since they lose in game 1, it's wise if we will bet on them in game 2. That was a tough game for them, but I have a feeling that they will bounce back and take game 2, so never doubt the Gin Kings, they are good at coming back.

[Japinat]

If you guys are waiting for game 2 odds, you can now check the betting sites because it's already up now.

In my bookie, the odds are as follows.

Ginebra ML > 1.75
Ginebra spread > -1.5

Grab this one early.

Meralco seemed to be getting the call. 

They really are such a great 3 point shooting team, I think Ginebra really has to improve their game by game 2, and I would make sure I will bet on them as they will surely even the series, or maybe double if they still lose since I don't see a 3-0 will happen. Maybe there some kind of rig show happening, but that's what PBA is, it's just like NBA that amazing things could happen, if you know what I mean.

Ginebra will adjust. We know how great Tim Cone was. He won't let Meralco continue the momentum, he will find the best way to stop the possible 2-0 and will try harder to even the series. I'm on the side that Ginebra will focus on their outside defense, that good 3 points percentage of Meralco needs to evaluate and make sure to have a much tighter defense.

And also, Ginebra needs to start strong game 1 is not a good sign for the finals, they need to create good and working plays
to convert their offense.

I'm with you, risking some spare for Ginebra to add some fun while watching the game.

I guess I'm also riding with you guys, the spread hasn't changed yet, Ginebra is still -1.5 in this game, a big difference when Magnolia faces Meralco as Meralco is always an underdog of +4.5. If no rigging in game 2, I think Ginebra has a big chance of winning.

Brownlee will again take over the game, if you see game 1, it's the local of Meralco that really gave problems to the Ginebra so the locals of the Kings should also have to step up as they cannot win with one man only. Hodge who is not known to be an offensive player is getting a lot of open shots and he really did capitalize on the bad defense of the Kings.

They have a good reason to bounce back, and they are capable to do this. I also want to go with Ginebra for that odds, its fair enough for me. Ginebra wont be affected by the result of Game 1, they will surely get their rhythm in Game 2 and take it. Brownlee should detonate his explosive performance, just like in the semis and I’m looking forward for this.

Ginebra is composed of great players, many expect too much from them and the pressure is huge as well, they are capable to win the championship but they should not be complacent because Meralco is also a great team. -1.5 with Ginebra is still fine for a good team while many still see Meralco as a common team here, well let’s just see the upcoming games and see if Ginebra can execute their plays or Meralco will stay compose and get closer to the title. Today is a big day, let’s watch the game!

I also think that the game 2 will be Ginebra's. Well, I'm starting to think about the classic finals that we always use to see before. Like it will be reaching a game 7 for this series because that's how it goes and I'm sure that many have noticed it.
Brownlee would really show the monster of him on this match later and the game will be theirs.

You have a point. Ginebra will likely get Game 2 as it used to be like in any Finals series. They are being waked up after that Game 1 loss.

But Meralco seems to be more inspired. Coach Norman's goal was to beat Coach Tim Cone as he always loses to this Hall of Famer Coach in any playoffs or Final series. Is this the series he will beat Coach Tim Cone? It's just 1-0 and there are lots of remaining games in action.

If no rigging in game 2, I think Ginebra has a big chance of winning.

Don't post non-sense speculations here. How did you end up that games will be rigged? Do you mean Game 1 is rigged?

Can you explain? Is Meralco not allowed to win, only Ginebra should win so PBA is rigging it?

And because Ginebra is composed of great players, some people think that the game is rigged just because they lose.

They don't give credit to what Meralco did and all their efforts to win on Game 1 are seen as being helped by officiating which is not. These people should stop treating Game 1 as a game that Meralco didn't really win. The Meralco gang put their effort to win that game.

They just need to move on and trust Ginebra for a bounce-back if they really believed in the Never Say Die quote of this team.

[harizen]

I still need lots of analysis before placing a bet although I already have some considerations.

Seems to me that Ginebra will take Game 2 but the handicap for Meralco is also eye-catchy. But more on, I will take Ginebra ML.

As usual, game-time decision before placing my bet. Hoping also for odds adjustment in favor of Ginebra to at least an additional @1 for their ML odds.

The odds seem nothing suspicious to me. IIRC, in game 1, Ginebra is -2.5, they lose by 11 points so -1.5 being them as the favorite is alright. I took the spread already last night thinking it might go up and I might miss the opportunity.

Yes, that a decent handicap even Meralco beats them in game 1 Ginebra's chance of taking game 2 is pretty possible, if there's no manipulation or in our terms "hulugan" Ginebra can easily cover that handicap and on my own analysis they can bounce and win with double digit lead. Though everything will be witness later when these two teams meet again and start playing their own respective system.

Adjustments from both teams are really anticipated, Ginebra will avoid losing 2 games streak from this series while Meralco will
try everything that they've got to take that comfortable lead.

There's a change now, from -1.5 the line goes up to -2.5 for the Ginebra. I have a feeling that it's a close game and I think Ginebra will even the series. For those who have not put their bet yet, I think -2.5 is still good to go, just trust the NSD team.

If bettors take that spread in game 1, then they should not doubt the current odds knowing that it's a must-win by the Ginebra Kings. They will certainly figure out their mistake and they won't be making lots of mistakes in this game, Brownlee did not score at least 30 points in game 1, but I believe he would go for at least 30 points this game.

Looks like the series will be even after game 2. Ginebra has dominated the first half, Justin Brownlee and Tenorio are on fire, and they are shooting with a high percentage. The score now is 42-60 in Favor of the Ginebra San Miguel.

Brownlee 22 points
C Stand 9 points
LA 9 points
Thompson 8 points

Meralco had a huge 3rd quarter run, this game is getting more interesting as Meralco is not going away. They are still fighting to win and lead the series with 2-0, but seeing the game, their chance is like 20%, probably lower.  So enough for this writing now, let's enjoy the game as we are already in the 4th quarter.

[Japinat]

I got lucky tonight. Go Ginebra!



I am nervous a bit when Bolts make a run and make it a 2 point game, but good thing Brownlee take over and did not give up.
Ginebra are good in closing game so I trust them to win, and they succeeded tonight.

Series now is tied 1-1.

Nahhh I'm just kidding with that meme but I think many expected already that Ginebra will bounce back after their loss in Game 1 and Ginebra doesn't want to go down 0-2 or else the momentum will go to the Bolts. Brownlee doing Brownlee things as always with an almost triple double again. For sure Ginebra fans are happy right now that they've bounced back. Congrats to Ginebra and now its a best of 5 series again.
