2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[mirakal]

This is a good series, and might reach to 7 games.
Tonight SMB won the game and the series is tied at 2 a piece, SMB are really good in distracting Jones and he got 1 technical in this game, hopefully the next game he will be more focus and will take the lead in the series.

Overall it's a fun game because I also won my bet at TNT/SMB full time.

Yup!

I'm pretty happy with the SMB's ball movement this time. Outside shooters dropping 3's while Fajardo was also moving well and scoring inside the paint. I hope SMB's multiple championship experience will prevail in Games 5,6, or 7 (if needed).

Honestly, I got shocked on what happen because as I watched the 1st half TNT is up by one. And then after I ate my dinner, SMB got a 2 digit lead suddenly . WTF happened? Though TNT was able to get close to them, it still not enough especially after Trollano's travelling violation and Castro's lose ball error. Haay, I thought it would be a 3-1 already but I was wrong *sigh. Anyway, good job for SMB this time. They prove that they are the strongest at this moment so congrats .

Down to 3 games only, and I think I already saw the pattern of this game, next winner will be TNT then SMB, then TNT, so in short, it will be TNT that will be the champion this season? Would you agree with that?

Good job for SMB to continue finding ways how to destruct Jones, now they really done well and perfectly come inside Jones but aside from that  Fajardo also helps lifting the team together with Cabagnot and McCullough, again the series where tied good for SMB to keep staying close and not to allow TNT to have a bigger edge from this series.

I can't think that will be the pattern seems the SMB makes just annoy Jones to disrupt the play he needs to do. What I see is a victory for SMB as they have more players capable of winning a championship.

The series is now tied at two a piece, so either of both teams does not want to give the championship without a fight. For me, TNT will win this conference's champion against SMB.

I think SMB has a lot of options in their  offense be they have Fajardo in the low post, and they have many perimeter shooter's and SMB has the edge against TNT

I see where you are going here but I don't know. If ticket sales are great, then that may actually happen.

TNT has the same option as well with Jones, Castro, and various 3-point shooters. It's a matter of who executes well and who gets hot hands on the night.

Yeah probably it go to game seven because there  score in the end game with on few differential, we can expect a see saw series, this probably a classic final

I am not a fan of that two teams playing to get champion, but I'll bet for talk N text as champion in this season, I seen the determination of the whole to get the winning championship of this season.
It clearly nobody can stop the the power moves of the talk N text import with help of the whole team.

Nice pattern there buddy but let’s not forget that ball is circle and anything may happen in the court ,Talk and Text is really dominating the championship with Jones in their position but SMB is a former champion and eager to have a back to back so let’s expect a good 3 games here.

What I can see here is the winner in game 5 will take the trophy of being a champion.

Congrats on your win, as for me i got the opposite as i thought that Junemar will still not be a factor down below. Anyway this is a series and TNT will make adjustment on game 5 and i will stick to my plan to bet on TNT on the remaining games. Nice game, no drama, no flopping until the 40th minute but the referee were quick to act on it (Santos and Jones commotion).

The PBA commoners cup finals is a classic season. These two different teams show their potential abilities and performances in every game. A lot of three point shot that launches by two teams and looks like no one wants to be left. Every game has their own hero. It is a splendid game 4. I hope the series will go far more up to Game 7.

Without Lassiter, SMB's performance remain the same.

[Clark05]

Im one of the fan of the PBA once they have game I watch in television I really love basketball. My favorite team from the PBA Is the TNT because I saw them a team work and dedication for winning for their every game that team also have a lot of good player. But the other team also is good but TNT is more better. Many Filipinos have different bet team in PBA depends on what they saw to the game every they watch.

IMO, this is the only conference that TNT got better and that is because of their very talented import.
They develop a good chemistry and I'm sure even if they will not win in the Finals this time, their chemistry is already good and they can be more competitive in the next conference, their main weapon is their outside shooting, they really shot a lot with good percentage.

TNT is really at their current high career peek. Dominating almost every game during the playoffs is pretty convincing. They have a lot of good shooters and then suddenly Jones comes in bringing the current TNT games into higher level.

TNT right now for me is the dominant team because of Jones. If the SMB import or Fajardo can stop this guy. I am pretty sure that this will be an easy win for them (but is currently not the cased). But then again this game finals is really tight because both are pretty strong teams.

I don't think so. They are not as cohesive and I think the SMB head coach has been experimenting a lot in the first four games of this series. With Lassiter in the line up, SMB may be 3-1 up by now.

So you believed Lassiter is the game-changer? lol. You are really a die-hard SMB fan or maybe you believed on that because you have funds that currently at stake in the SMB side. He is the counterpart of Chris Ross and no way Austria will always put these 2 on the floor at the same time. His disappearance honestly makes Austria thinks of a better lineup since he will not destroy the starters. SMB is not always an unstoppable team like others look at this team for the past conferences.

TNT is just playing good. Let's admit that even what's our favorites. Even an SMB fan look at that way.

Lassiter's injury is a loss to the SMB team, with him in the floor he can hustle and when he is hot in 3 point shooting, that would make the defense focus on him and that will free up June Mar Fajardo and the import. If I'm not mistaken, TNT has a good shooting percentage in 3 points in the past 4 games while SMB could have improve their 3 point shooting if they have lassiter which is their most reliable 3 point shooter and he is tall so he can help defend and rebound the ball which is in every game they are out rebounded by TNT.
