2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

We have Ginebra vs Magnolia next game.

What's your pick guys? I think I like the Magnolia here, they lose to the TNT and I believe they will bounce back to win.
Right now they are +2.5 but I will take the moneyline, I think it's where public will find Ginebra very attractive but I'll go the other way.

My Pick is Ginebra, this is a never say die team, and I like their team effort. This might be a close game again because Magnolia is also a good team, but 4th quarter  will always be the deciding quarter and I give that advantage to the Gin Kings since they are good in 4th quarter.

Well, let's see if they will have a run to beat the Magnolia here.

Right now, it's Magnolia who are enjoying the lead, but it's only a 1st quarter, there are more quarters to come and let's see if Ginebra will be able to rally like they always do. This game is hard to predict because both are good teams, but I don't like the spread when it's too easy as the other team might win.

End of 2nd quarter already and Magnolia only lead 7 points which we know, is easy to catch up as long as Ginebra will detonate their best plays. I still see a win here for Ginebra despite of the odds, the game is still close and that lead can easily wipe out. We will see that in the last 2 quarters, I do have some bet and I hope Ginebra to tie the game and take the lead, other players should step up right now if they really want to take the win tonight, there's still a big chance for them.

Ginebra still cannot take the lead, Magnolia is still leading now and it's already a 10 point lead. I think this game is not for the Ginebra, Magnolia's energy is all over the court, they will might win this game in a dominant way.

I agree, this game will be won by Magnolia if the trend doesn't change. It Seems Ginebra's plays are not in sync, CStand was having a hard time receiving the ball down low and Laput did a good job on manning the middle plus the missed free throws add to the woes of Barangay Ginebra.

I have not bet on Magnolia to win this game as i'm having a second thought on them as they were losing games, i did bet only on the total points which is under 178.5 @1.80  .

Not a good one from Ginebra, the plays seems not working and like what you have said the players inside are not synching meaning to say that the chemistries and the blend in each of them are not working that well, close game, Magnolia with Sangalang and Jalalon towering the offense wins the game.

I have not bet on Magnolia to win this game as i'm having a second thought on them as they were losing games, i did bet only on the total points which is under 178.5 @1.80  .

Nice pick, the game ended up under 178.5 the combine points are only 173 if I'm not mistaken, additional beers for your weekends

more wins to come!

It's reported that Mikey Williams now finally arrived in the country yesterday, Sunday, and is expected to join the TNT's practice this week.

However, no deal has been finally discussed and with that recent interview with Coach Chot, he blames people around Mikey for this long negotiation which the latter is not happy with that statement. This drama is now becoming too long and Coach Chot should just shut his mouth while there's no final negotiation.

I don't want to blame Mikey here if he feels he's not getting the right treatment. But for me, if he is really unhappy with the team why he is still giving chances for TNT to hire his service. He can go play straight with the overseas and forget about TNT for now.

I agree with that, if he's not happy with the treatment and with the offer, why bother to keep negotiating? he can simply go and play overseas who can give him a higher paycheck and established a good relationship with the team. Or it's just another drama to create noise for coach chot hahaha.. He and his son already have a lot of those dramas that surround the basketball sport inside our country.

From TNT to gilas, what a kind of exposure these father and son duo have so far!

Time to move forward and forget about watching and reading articles about the Reyes

For me him boarding the plan and going back to the Philippines is a sign that he wants to play and sign the re-negotiation of his contract. There's no way that you are willing to fly if he didn't consider his new contract. And as what Lastimosa said, they are just waiting for his signature and for sure it's a win-win situation for both parties.

Great news if he will playback, he's the new Jason Castro of this team, transition from Alapag to Castro and now it's William's term.

Like what you just said, I think there's a good negotiation that happened the very reason why he fly back to Philippines he still interested

to play and help the team, let see if what will be the next update in  regards to this issue, if Mike camp will re-sign the contract and play

or he will fly-back home and look for other options.

What's the reason of playing in the PBA if he will not re sign, for sure TNT will give him a max contract + under the table because he proved he is a superstar and in the first season in the PBA, he already gave them the championship, now it's time for him to enjoy his hardwork.

If PBA is a business, players with high demand are also doing business on their terms. Now, we can say that Williams is in the best position to demand because he showed his best and help his team to succeed. In fact, even without him, TNT is still good, so how much more if he will start playing inspired because he has a good contract.

Formality is the key here and we know, he won't be back here in the Philippines for nothing, most probably he will play again in the PBA and that's a good news for both parties. Though for sure, he will ask for a higher rate since we know him already and if TNT really want's him back, then they should offer him the best contract. I still see TNT as a contender team, this can be a big one for them, we'll see.

With Williams playing, I will back the TNT to win the present conference. if he will be back, that is very obvious that he is given a decent contract. I don't know if he is eligible with the Japan BLeague, maybe he will choose that league if TNT will not satisfy his demand.

Thanks also mate, with regards to the rules, i just modify a little from that thread that inthelongrun made.

The tentative start of the competition will be this coming Wednesday if we can get the target number of participants or we can move the start on Saturday, by then many users will be aware of this competition.

Wow, this is nice @bisdak40, the good thing is it's free of registration, I will certainly not gonna miss his competition. You made a very flexible term, for sure you will have a lot of basketball fans that would participate here. By the way, is this exclusive for locals only?

This is open to all but i doubt that there are other nationalities here that are interested in PBA games but they are welcome to join.

even me too I would like to be in form when the game is about to start so that I will also join the competition the problem is that I don't lol well about the game and I will need someone that to educate me very well so that I will be able to understand the game because the chance of winning the game will be very hard if you don't know about it.

Here's the official website (https://pba.ph/), you can explore the website and check the teams. Also, you can use youtube and see the highlights of the game, if you love basketball and you are also betting on games, it will not be hard for you to learn how to gamble in PBA games.

Don't force yourself to participate if you don't know anything about the game because you might not enjoy the prediction game, this should be fun IMO.

About Mikey Williams, seemed like the contract has not been finalized yet, but he will still play with the TNT.

His statement from https://www.spin.ph/basketball/pba/mikey-williams-on-delayed-arrival-tnt-contract-impasse-a2244-20220621?ref=home_featured_big

MIKEY JUST WANTS TO PLAY.
"I decided to make the trip back to the Philippines to serve the best interests of the organization," said Williams, who reiterated that "TNT and I haven't completely come to an agreement on a contract."

He is at a point mentally that he wants to focus on playing basketball again. And hoping that a fair renegotiation can be agreed upon.

"The renegotiation process seemed at times all things but fair, and my worry concerning that contributed to the lack of communication," Mikey revealed.

Good news for TNT, they need him for another campaign of winning the championship, he is back.
