2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Yamifoud]

Looks like TNT is not missing Chot Reyes, they are competing very well against the SMB. Anyone here knows the handicap in this game? I was too busy and forgot that there's a game today. If I was able to place my bet, I would still go with SMB.

It's -3.5 for San Miguel Beermen, not that high and very attractive if you are a fan of SMB but looking at the game right now it seems that whoever wins, will just have a lead of not more than 5 points because it's a close one not like in game 2 where SMB separated in the early minutes of the fourth quarter.

edit: first overtime game of the finals, what a close and exciting game for those who bet haha.

Okay, good thing I didn't bet, this game goes to OT because of a bad mistake. 

There's a chance that SMB will cover here, or TNT to win, Jayson Castro this time did not make the last shot attempt, he was defended well.
More extra minutes, more fun. GO SMB!

Lucky break, they really cover the spread because they dominated the TNT in overtime. I think the final score is already 108-100, there are a few seconds left but SMB will already get this win. congratulations backers, SMB win, and covers.

Thanks to that error by Herndon, if not by that mistake SMB could have won by one point or TNT by a point or two depending if it's a three point shot or just a two. Another monster game by the Kraken, registering 27 points and 27 rebounds in a game, this could be a personal record for him or might be a PBA record if i'm not mistaken. When we look at it, seems like TNT has no match to the firepower of SMB but they just refuse to llet go and give the Beermen a good fight.

When Fajardo is playing like that, there's no way TNT can beat the SMB in this series.

They are now ahead by 1 win, the series is 2-1 now, so let's see if TNT will be able to even the series in game 4. Still will be missing coach Chot I believe, but they have to play like it's the last game as if they will go down 3-1, their chance to win the series will be very slim.

It's still far from over, we still have game 4 and I have a feeling that TNT will win that game. I'm betting on the TNT, there's no way they will go down 3-1 in this series. I think Mikey Williams has to contribute more, though he had improve in this game as he tallied 17 points, from 7 points only in game 2, but it's not enough for the team to win.

Pogoy thus far is the most consistent on the TNT roster, but we know he cannot carry this team alone.  it was supposed to be Mikey Williams who is the top scorer.

SMB did a great job on Mikey Williams, though he still can score, but it's very evident how the was very limited in the game. Game 4 is very crucial for them, they already lose twice in a row, they should not allow to make it 3. A big adjustment is necessary, their 3 point shooting should hit because they cannot live in the paint since JMF is a beast inside both office and defense.

[Shamm]

I don't know what's really happens to TNT tonight as we saw that they do a good work but still did not enough to beat SMB, TNT can not handle fajardo well even though there's a time that pugoy blocked fajardo but still The rest of the SMB team did not let TNT lead the series they work smart and with a good communication and good teamwork they did it. Maybe TNT need more or big adjustment for upcoming game 4 so that they can even the series .

SMB deserved that win, Fajardo was in a beast mode that's why he was unstoppable. If SMB loses because of the mistake committed by Herndon, I'm sure the blame will be put on him, he should pay attention in a very crucial game, because one mistake could lead to losing the game and the effort will be wasted.

I'm assuming you bet on SMB, well, the result favors you because they will not cover the spread if they win.
That's what you called luck on the gambler's side, TNT was very eager to beat the SMB but they fell short.

He is back on his MVP form (I must say), getting 27 rebounds is just a monster performance, I am not surprised with the points as anyone can generate that, but boy, getting both points and rebounds with high numbers, that's just unbelievable.

Fajardo is a big pain in the ass, he still dominate and we have seen that from today game, a classic Abay who enjoying the game, though he's can't do it alone as basketball is a team effort, a good adjustment from coach Leo, what a game from Ross, Cruz and the man itself Herndon, he's a lucky pick from the bench, though I was in the impression that he will be the reason why SMB will lose the game after that technical for delaying the game, good thing that Cruz really extend his effort not to allow Castro for another heroic winning shot.

Over time brings enjoyment for SMB backer especially to those who give that -3.5 without OT you know

SMB is too deep for TNT. If not for that game-winning shot of Castro, it might be 3-0 now and that's really hard to win back. Congrats SMB!

SMB dominates the game, they are able to execute their plays properly while TNT is still lacking a defensive plays. They can’t afford to stay on that level since this is a final, and they should do more. SMB taking the lead can be more dangerous, they already have the momentum and It’s time for TNT now to look for other strategy on where the key players can have a good points. Fajardo is unstoppable again and that’s a classic JMF that we know.

Fajardo did a great plays in game 3, and SMB really work as a team that’s why they are able to sustain the momentum while TNT is still struggling. The gap in score is not that big, that means TNT can really compete with SMB it’s just that they are always fell short. Maybe the missing head coach of TNT affect their strategy plays, TNT is good but they also have to activate other players because their key players are being guarded. Game 4 will be an exciting one and it’s crucial for TNT to let SMB have the lead, that can be the end for TNT if ever.

What I like about SMB in game 3 is that, they are too focused in the game and they really played well as a team knowing that key players are trusting his teammates. Well, I was able to put some bet for SMB in game 3 and its worth it. Now I will take some risk for TNT because I know this is not the end for them yet, this can still go for a game 7 so let’s all have bet and have fun, this is indeed an exciting finals.

27 points and 27 rebounds for Fajardo, how can you stop this big guy? They really did great job for this and almost dominating the game 3 but still kudos for TNT for giving a great fight as well.

Game 4 will be a big game for both teams, I think TNT are now more eager to win because if not they will be at risk on losing the chance to take another championship. Will still wait for the good odds before placing a bet, it’s actually hard to pick on where to bet.

There's no maybe but TNT really needs a big adjustment next game. Actually, they already played well overall although some of their key players are not on their usual averages. It's a battle of who will lack short in the end. It's good to see that all games so far in this series are tight and close.

We as a viewers wants that intensity of play and not to expect a boring game where one team is really dominating over the other.

The result is hard to predict until the final buzzer rings.

I really don't mind and got surprised with his 27 points but for 27 rebounds, damn that was a spectacular big performance. It does mean that no one in the league right now that can dominate JuneMar Fajardo in terms of getting boards either on the offensive or defensive side. A considered GOAT in the PBA and future Hall of Famer, the Kraken is still making surprising good numbers even after his long hiatus in the league.

I agree with you that Kudos to TNT for always giving an intense game with the powerhouse SMB. But still, not until either of them gets a 4 win, the series is not finished yet. TNT should consider Game 4 as their Do-Or-Die game and feels the pressure to win.

TNT doesn't believe with a let go win, they keep on coming back even they are down and almost losing the game. Poguy, Castro and Williams are all doing their best offensive attacks not to let the fans down, I'm not a fan of TNT system but I admire these three leaders they will be there even the tight defense annoyed them but they will do everything to create the shots and give TNT the lift that they needed.

Though Fajardo is really the GOAT of PBA, no question about him, he's always showing his presence.

The reason why all the shooting guards are not afraid to take the shots, they know that Fajardo will be there to battle for the
rebound and will try to keep the ball alive.

Is that a shot at Choket?

Though Fajardo is really the GOAT of PBA, no question about him, he's always showing his presence.

Rebounding, post moves, perimeter shooting, and even some side steps The best counter is to outrun him during transitions or if he's outside the paint.

The reason why all the shooting guards are not afraid to take the shots, they know that Fajardo will be there to battle for the rebound and will try to keep the ball alive.

Exactly! If you're good at shooting and you have a reliable big man under, how could it not boost your confidence?


Gotta give credit to the hustles of other Beermen too. We know the team is missing the production of T. Romeo but Ross and the other guys are stepping up. You never know who is going to come up with big shots at crucial moments.
