2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Sanitough]

These young guns really played so amazingly, we did not need the PBA players to play to beat a good team.

Good exposure for these young guns and they are the future of the PBA especially Kai Sotto but it was Dwight Ramos who did well in this game just like in the previous window. If this kid is eligible to play in the PBA, he deserves to be the number one pick overall.

Let's talk about the FIBA first, hehe..
I just like what the Philippines have shown, they surprise the South Korea team and I think they underestimated the Philippines that's why they lose.

Do they have a scheduled game today? I think I will bet on them

It was South Korea who had a good lead at the start but the Philippines came back in the 2nd half and win the game.
That last shot was great, if it didn't fall, the Philippines might lose in the OT, but still, I'm proud of them as they didn't give up, instead they come back to win.

I thought the Busan experience will haunt the Gilas once again after the missed throw then the 3-point shot by Korea that tied the game, fortunately, BelANGEL who was sent from heaven make that desperate 3 point shot that saves the day for Gilas and more importantly gives the boys more confidence going forward in this tournament.

Some may say it was just a lucky shot but what's important is the team won.

The Filipino fans now has something to watch out for that the young Gilas exceed the expectations of the Filipino.

The new rooster of Gilas is so promising they are so good and they able to defeat Korea in just like that, I'm impressed on the performance brought by Ramos,Kouame and most specially with Kai Sotto for sure they will have a good run. Its so good to see Kai do some good works his hardwork in US really worth as he is totally a fast big man which is so dangerous inside and outaide the paint.

Just seeing the line up of the Gilas right now is just spectacular. Its a proof that the future of basketball of our country will be bright. I just hope that they will not play outside PH.

Now with regards to the game, it is a hard fought match between the 2 especially when our players have the average age of just 22 years old and experience wise players of South Korea have more than our players. Lets give credits to Coach Tab Baldwin too for how he is coaching this young and talented players. Now their ticket to FIBA Asia Cup is secured thanks to Belangel's Hail Mary Three, their remaining 2 games will just be a practice game for them to build their chemistry. Their next opponent is Indonesia and I think that they will blow this one off. After that they will face SoKor again.

P.S. Who heard how the commentators saying our PH words. I don't know but for me its just really amazing to see those commentators from other countries saying some of our PH words like "Puso", "Magandang Gabi", "Salamat", "Uwian na" etc.

Kai Sotto is again in the Philippines as part of the Gilas.

We will see soon how he can apply his training in the US and will he be vital for the team's success.

Yes. Show what you've got Kai. I saw his name in the list and they've just won against South Korea and made an amazing performance a while ago. That was an incredible buzzer beater!

Actually, I was thinking that it's better if they've got some PBA veterans on their boat to lead them inside the court. But I think outside coaching is way better than playing with them. These young guys really can play well and can compete and I hope that for the next games that they've got, they're going to be consistent and will have those wins. I'm also proud and got hyped when I've watched that last shot, that was really a truly amazing shot and can be said as a miracle shot in a very crucial match.

They respect their coach and they have chemistry, these are young players, most of them are single I believe so their full focus is on the sport. It's also an opportunity for them to play for the country, usually this kind of opportunity is given to the stars of the PBA, but this time they got it.

Their old players already pass on their primes also we see that the PBA stars is not so reliable in the world stage thats why we the management select the Majority of Batang gilas or other college stars since they are fresh and skilled to battle overseas. We see how good they are abd provably we can see more good run coming from this young guys on next round.

Actually, the final roster that will compete in the FIBA World Cup in 2023 is yet to be determined. The ones that are playing now are called Gilas cadets since they are aspiring to be included in the final pool. Still, we could expect Junemar Fajardo to be the main big man for Gilas and maybe Jordan Clarkson if ever FIBA will allow him to play as local.

SBP is sending cadets to this window of elimination as the competition is not yet so stiff and sending a PBA-laden squad is so costly. Other teams also did the same like South Korea, expect different faces from last night come 2023 as they will be sending their best players.

yeah right, but what we witness from those young guns, they've got pure determinations to win, I like that characteristics they trust each other and they are really moving  the ball well.

Coach is the number factor here, the way he manage the cadets they've jive from one another it's a nice gesture that players are really respecting their teammates.

We will see the final list once the FIBA World Cup begins, We do have lots of international ballers who can help the National team, aside from the PBA stars, Clarkson always wanted to play with his kababayan so expect him to wear the Gilas uniform.

We have a schedule today, it's Phillippines vs Indonesia.
https://www.fiba.basketball/asiacup/2021/qualifiers/games

I think Philippines will win this easily. They are -22.5 in this game and Korea beat Indonesia with 104-81 score.

There's no way I will bet on that, I'd rather watch a game that I think will result in a close game and I like when the Philippines is the underdog as that would mean better odds for them. If you'll bet on the Philipines where without a handicap, you'll only win 1% of your bet, it's not wise IMO.

[Russlenat]

You can see below the stats of the teams.

http://www.fiba.basketball/asiacup/2021/qualifiers/teamstats

Guam seems to be in the top, and Cruz was a really big help to the team I guess, he is now playing with this team and the last time I checked, they dominated their opponent. About the betting side, I think it's risky to take the high odds knowing it's a real competition, so I would also go with a game that is expected to be close or has very competitive betting odds.

The risk of betting is always high because we are betting on a real competition, the last match was unexpected considering the rivalry that we have in Korea. Our team made a good work on that despite of being pressured on the first half, now we will face Indonesia and I’m confident that we will win and we will stay on top on our class. Just bet the money you can afford to lose.

What if the odds for handicap -22.5 is decent? Indonesia is a trash team against the Philippines, no offense.

For the record, at any basketball competition, the average lead score of the Philippines against Indonesia is almost 30 points. That's the reason why the handicap for PH is 22.5.

About the 1% of the bet, I doubt someone will place a bet for 1.0-1.3 for the PH.

I also put my bet on the Philippines to win and cover that high spread. I just want something to enjoy while watching the game and I cannot allow no-bet for this game. lol.



Good luck to the Philippines and to my bet.

Congratulations on your win brother, that was close, you just won by 1.5 points with that spread.
This team is really legit the way I see it, they are so consistent and they are playing with good chemistry.

The naturalized player of the Indenesia is an import of the Columbian / Terrafirma Dyip if I'm not mistaken.

Congrats on the win bro, that's pretty close. It's just in the fourth quarter did the Gilas pulled away from Indonesia, what a thrilling game if you watched it live and made that kind of bet.

I did not bet for them right now as my confidence for Gilas in this tournament is low, I mean they can win against Indonesia but not a blowout win, thanks God I'm wrong hehe.

Next stop would be a rematch against South Korea, I think the odds would be close and if you are a Gilas hater, good time to bet lol.

The Philippines will still be the underdog in this game for sure, the last time they are +5.5, now that they beat South Korea in the first game maybe we can expect a +3.5 and that's already good IMO, I would still beat on them taking the point spread and a little moneyline bet.

So Philippines will be playing tomorrow again?

Yes, that's the typical setup for the Gilas. They're only getting those superstars from the NBA but having the chance to break that norm and making a team that's not fully reliant on the PBA, is a good test for the Gilas Pilipinas so that they'll have to compare the results and there's also an opportunity and chance for the new players that are also competitive. The current roster of Gilas is also strong but cannot be compared to the past ones. I just wish that this is going to be the team that will be qualified and will have a long run in this tournament.

Oh I though they have a game tonight? Well anyways seems I need to see the schedule since I miss to see their game schedule. But anyways we can agree to that discussion that Philippines still underdog between thia fight eventhough they defeat Korea on last match up.

Also this young guys are so promising  this is the indcator that basketball program in philippines is getting more better and better every year.

They already have a 2-0 start, that's good already and better if they'll beat South Korea twice. There's no betting line yet but expect it will be out tomorrow.  Let the Philippines celebrate and relax, then we will see them tomorrow, I think they are not too tired in this game as they dominated Indonesia well.

I just wish that this is going to be the team that will be qualified and will have a long run in this tournament.

Let's hope, at least the expectation is not high compared to the PBA roster that battles in this tournament in the past.
The young players are really surprising.
