2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[bisdak40]

First half is over and the score is 56-45, an 11 point lead by the Beermen. This is not looking good for the Meralco Bolts right now because we knew how good of a team SMB Beermen is in protecting leads like that. I think this is the only game that the Beermen have have a 2 digit lead after the first half, so yeah this might be the end for the Bolts and i think the Beermen will also cover the spread.

edit:

i'm totally wrong, what a comeback win by the Meralco Bolts. On to game7 we go.

That wasn't expected, Meralco not really giving up, they force the series to game 7 and I'm not to confident now that SMB will win. Now we go to the Magnolia vs TNT win, is it another game 7 series?

Feels like a throw game to me. SMB played a lousy fourth quarter. They throw a double-digit lead after leading most of the game. Kudos to Meralco bolts for doing good defense and harassing june mar. That made way for them to come back into the game.

Second game just started. Hoping to see a more exciting game in this match between Magnolia and TNT.

I don't want to think that way as it will only say that the game is rigged. SMB for sure are playing their best to close the series, it's just that Meralco are not going anywhere, they want a do or die game where the pressure is on the SMB, and they succeeded on that, so let's wait this Wednesday I guess.

[Russlenat]

Low scoring game so far, it's supposed to favor Magnolia as that's their game, however, looks like TNT is leading the game now. Lucky for those who choose to bet on the under as for sure it will hit the under 90%, unless OT will happen. The scary part here is that Williams has not been scoring well yet, so if he explode in the 2nd half, it's going to be hard for Magnolia to win.

34-42 halftime score, it's indeed a low-scoring game and TNT seemed to be taking control. 3rd quarter is crucial for Magnolia as they need a good run in order to come back from this huge deficit, it's a do-or-die game, no more tomorrow for Magnolia so they should win again. By the way, the announcer said that Jalalon is not 100%, maybe that's the reason why he wasn't contributing with good numbers this game.

The defensive system of both teams are working, and this is why we've seen a low scoring game but it doesn't matter as long as TNT can sustain the lead that can still bring them to the finals. This is expected as both team is trying to win especially with Magnolia on their run to tie the series, we might see some changes in the last quarter probably, and hoping that TNT can be on a good spot.

With Meralco winning over SMB, its pretty good job for their key players to be activated on that very crucial game, now we are going into game 7 and probably Meralco is on a good momentum here, this series are more exciting now.

TNT managed to protect their lead and now they are back in the finals, its good for them to have more rest while waiting for their opponent, too bad for Magnolia after having a good preliminary round they failed to advance in the finals, maybe not a good year for them.

I want to see TNT vs Meralco in the finals, i hope Meralco can have a good game and I will take the risk on betting with them against all odds. SMB might be the best team here but Meralco is not giving up yet and they prove that they can beat SMB, which we will see for a do or die match.

Might be a good fan of Meralco not sure though if SMB will give this one for sure a good and exciting game 7 for these two teams next Wednesday, I'm expecting that SMB will push this one and try to be in the finals but there's no guarantee that they will easily beat Meralco as how we seen them really holding and managing to escape the early exit in this semi-final round.

One more game and we will be in the finals. TNT will wait and will have a good rest in the meantime.

Or it can be used to have more practices in preparation for whoever the opponent this coming All-Filipino finals!

TNT is sitting on a good position already, that’s a good rest after the tiring semi-finals, and with the one last showdown with Meralco and SMB, they should both go all in and prepare for the game in the most anticipating game 7.

Too bad for SMB for letting Meralco to get a momentum against them, they might be able to complete a good comeback and go for the finals as well. We are witnessing a great basketball series with a lot of twist, I see Meralco to be more good in their next game.

SMB Tried their best to win but Meralco are more dedicated and really focused on winning, kudos to their winning strategy and probably be more active on Wednesday because its their one last shot to be on Finals again. TNT won and have a lot of time to rest and do trainings as well, they should not be over confident though because whoever wins between Meralco and SMB, this will not going easy for TNT so better for them to stay focus as well.

Too bad for SMB they still have to battle with Meralco while TNT is already resting and have a better chance to scout and create better offense and defense against whoever comes out of this series.

I am in favor of SMB, but I think we cannot really tell who will win in game 7 after how poorly SMB protected their lead in game 6. If they are not careful, Meralco might snatch this series from behind.

Anyway, whoever wins this series, we will have an exciting Finals series with TNT.

I'm saying that to myself as well but... it is what it is. Throw game or not, the SMB just choked in the final 3 minutes of the game and can't hold their 10 point lead.

CJ Perez can tie the game and put it to overtime with his steal and a 3-point foul shot but unfortunately, he missed one and that Ross' pass in the inbound to the opposite side? They made so many mistakes in the final minutes of the game that caused them their trip to PBA Finals. Well, it is over and we will see a do or die Game 7 on Wednesday. Who will face the TNT in the Finals. I'm thinking it will be an SMC Vs. MVP battle and if that happens then SMB will be the one who will move to Finals. . It has always been that way.
Foul trouble and Jayson Castro.

These 2 are the reasons why TNT won the game against Magnolia (for me). Abueva's 5th foul in the 3rd quarter is a big problem for the Hotshots and it has always been that way all throughout the Semis. Correct me but Abueva always got into foul trouble every single game in the Semi-Finals and we know how explosive he is when he is inside the court. He boosts the morale of his team and without him, it is a problem to the team especially in Game 6 where Lee, Sangalang and Barroca can't contribute and didn't play like how they played in Game 5.

Vintage Jayson Castro. When you want to end the series, just go to the veteran Castro. Best player of the game with 26 points (Conference-High) and he is off the bench.

Still looking forward to see SMB to win these series and compete with TNT in the finals, much balance competition though I'm not saying that Meralco ain't enough for TNT but sister companies always have doubtful competition better to have rival franchise to see exciting finals ahead, SMB and TNT are known offensive teams, good defense for certain adjustment will be the key factor to win if SMB escape Meralco this coming game 7.

Yeah, same here, I want them to go the finals and face TNT and I think they are even matchup.

I guess SMB will have to adjust their game, they can't just let Meralco takes over just like in game 6. Again, defense will be their key and I think they have the experience to do it, they just have to focus and concentrate on game 7. They can't let the Bolts snatch this series.

If the trend will continue, SMB is going to win in game 7. They wasted the opportunity to close the series in game 6, the big run of Meralco beat them, it cannot happen again in this do or die game for both teams.

That's where the excitement on PBA games is happening, who would expect that Meralco would win, they are a heavy underdog and yet they beat the SMB. I still like the chances of SMB in game 7, they are good in closing out games, but what I like more is the under as for sure it's gonna be a very defensive game.

Once you get to the semis you're no longer the underdog and winning 3 wins against SMB proves that Meralco is also a team to beat and going into game 7, the odds changes and this time many are willing to take risk to place their bet with Meralco. Game 6 is very convincing, Meralco did a great job and yes if SMB wants to be back in the finals they should adjust their strategy or else Meralco will beat them again and their effort will totally be wasted.

You have a point but it will not change the fact that SMB will always be listed as the favorite to win.

IIRC, the spread in game 6 was SMB -5.5, so if that would drop, maybe they will be the favorite by -3.5, but in the end, they are still listed as the favorite and the Meralco as the underdog.

The odds are still the same, it's already out now, you can check on your bookies.

SMB is -5.5 and the over/under is 190.5.
Moneyline for Meralco is 2.70, that's quite attractive.
