2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Japinat]

DYIP -4.5 is a good pick @1.91.

They can cover it not just because they beat two SMC recently but their opponent, Blackwater has a hellish performance on all their games this conference. I don't even think placing a bet for them +4.5 is a good pick. I don't know why bookies only gave that small line to Blackwater knowing their games are all poor.

Congrats mate, DYIP had won again and they cover that spread, they are on a 3 winning streak and they are the hottest team now, I'm sure they will continue winning and they will surprise the big teams in the PBA. Nice for them, they have a balanced attack in this win and everyone was really stepping up.

96-84 was the final score, DYIP won by 12 points.

I'm still surprised now how this team suddenly change their style and start winning. As we can see o the box score of his particular game, everyone was contributing, the scoreboard looks very balance, IIRC, no one scored more than 20 points, the highest scorer only made 10 points or a little more, but the scoring was really spread well.

Look at the scoring. https://pba.ph/recap?match=1902618



They limited Tiongson but the other players step up, that's the quality of a good team as they play as a team and use a good chemistry for one goal, which is to win. That cute stars I put are for the players who is a big contributor in that win, not an easy win but a very convincing win as though their star players struggle, everyone steps up to help him.

I hope Terrafima won't trade any of their players. All of their players are doing great.

There's no superstar. There's no main scorer. Totally different when CJ Perez is there because he's the one doing the most score. The ball is rotating. All are stepping up. It's now become a blessing that CJ Perez now traded.  Good chemistry was now more built on their team.

Schedules are not available. I forgot they only released a 1-week schedule.

Rosser and McCarthy both performing for their better addition after the trade for CJ.
Seems that the team developed a good chemistry and all the players will contribute once given the chance to play.

For now, it's too early to say, but since this bubble is just a single round, these consecutive wins are adding to their chance to
be qualified for the next round.

They just need to keep playing the same composures and the coach needs to blend them up with a good 5 selections that
Will play together to win a game. No need of a star caliber, but a good chemistry to jive together.

I wonder who they will trade next for next season, if they take one biggest contributor to the team, they have to readjust again with their chemistry, and thus far, Tiongson was the most consistent contributor of them, I hope these big team owners will not touch DYIP until they get to the finals which is a bit ambitous but possible.

LMAO, you are already expecting a trade huh? No, there's no one to be traded man as there's no CJ Perez like in this team, consistency is very important and 3 wins are nowhere near consistency, they need to be consistent per season or per conference, and even on individual players, I'm not sure if there's a player fro this team who are in the top 3 of the top scoring ranking.

There's a good point here.

COLUMN: PBA better mount a full bubble before all hell breaks loose

CHICAGO - I just tested positive for pessimism over this fractured, ongoing PBA Philippine Cup conference in Bacolor, Pampanga.

My symptoms are serious doubt and mild outrage.

According to my sources, over 10 positive COVID-19 tests have now infected the tournament and I have a bad feeling that the league is not necessarily forthcoming about the matter.

I say that because the official statement the PBA issued yesterday regarding the postponement of the game between Meralco and Ginebra was spectacularly vague. It soundly defeated the purpose of a press release, a tool meant to convey clarity and withstand scrutiny.

My opinion is, they should act now and make it a full bubble if they don't want to compromise the rest of the conference, the virus could spread so fast, and these players not staying in one location might put them at risk of getting infected, one person gets infected and it could ruin everything.

They are just warming up, blending together with no super star type player. CJ was very dominating way back, but when he left this team, they were now showing good stats.

The bubble is really giving this team better working chemistry; I see how well they dedicated and every single player will play harder.

No more trade if they want to increase their status from this league..

Maybe they did it so that SMC teams will not eye on getting Tiongson anymore as he became popular because of his performance against SMB and GSM .

Kidding aside, Blackwater isn't a good team since the start of the conference and we can see it on their performances and their roster right now. On the other hand, Dyip has gained some momentum winning their first 2 games and their momentum will just continue. Their coach did a great job on the team even they don't have an all-star or a superstar player.

Tiongson is currently rank at number 4 now with an average of 17.57 points, yes, he is not of the top 3 but if he continues his good offensive display, sooner or later he will be included. By the way, according to the stats record, Romeo holds the number 1 spot with 23 points.

I hope this would not happen, the postponement of games is really scary as they could suddenly announce that one player has been infected with covid-19 and it could result in a domino effect. In another article related to that, it looks like they will stay in the same location despite NCR is already in GCQ.

Maybe they did it so that SMC teams will not eye on getting Tiongson anymore as he became popular because of his performance against SMB and GSM .

Who knows, hahaha but this guy can really make good damage to his shooting skills and he's mental capabilities will bring good help come out from the bench. We don't know if either Gin kings or SMB will keep an on eye on him

Kidding aside, Blackwater isn't a good team since the start of the conference and we can see it on their performances and their roster right now. On the other hand, Dyip has gained some momentum winning their first 2 games and their momentum will just continue. Their coach did a great job on the team even they don't have an all-star or a superstar player.

I also giving a good kudos to the coaching staff, as they build a good chemistry inside. The players are well dedicated they love to show good competitions

Unlike with Blackwater, where it's easy to predict who will give some offense and it can easily guard by a good defender to stop the run.

With how DYIP developed trust and confidence, they are now entering the spotlight. They just need to continue what they are doing right for the future of this franchise.

The good thing with DYIP is they don't have a star player, so they are playing with good teamwork that has no pressure from the upper management as from the very start, they know what this team could only do, and they cannot compete to the big names of the PBA but they proved that expectation wrong.

Now that they are in a 3 winning streak, their confidence will continue to boost as they will believe they can beat anyone since they beat the 2 big teams in the PBA already.

Rumors had it why they traded CJ Perez to SMB is because his teammates were tired of him almost taking all of the shots and yet their winning percentage is still very very low. I mean, there is no more harmony in the team because of his presence.

One good thing about this current Dyip roster is that the management is not expecting a lot from these guys as there are no big names in their lineup that could lift/carry them into the playoffs.

They are on a 3 game winning streak and I do hope that this Cinderella run will earn them a spot on the next round of this All Filipino Cup but we should be careful on betting for them as they are not yet that consistent on winning games.

For sure, many already lose their bets against this team, most from those two unexpected wins against both SMB and Gin Kings as they played as an underdog with a decent handicap.

It's a good franchise builder if this team won and brings their presence to the next round, since there are lots of rumors that PBA entertained rigging games (just rumors ) why not let this team to keep winning and who knows more fans will follow the drama and bring more interest.

Audience shares and also gamblers money, time for PBA to make a good take for this team..

It's normal for someone to expect a trade, even I because 99% of PBA viewers and followers know that SMB is always getting what they wanted. And DYIP is a farm team for them since they enter the league so what can you expect?

It's not the winning consistency of the team. When CJ is there they are also on several losing streaks. What SMB is doing is scouting a good asset and with the current DYIP performance, there might be a list now on SMB's future trade list lol.

[chaser15]

If CJ Perez was still in DYIP, we won't other names on their roster stepping up.

Honestly, I didn't even know some of them until they are producing good numbers. This team has a future if it won't be destroyed thru trades.

There are a lot of players being added to the DYIP roster due to the departure of CJ Perez, and it turns out to give a good result to the team's chemistry. No star player for the team, no problem. CJ Perez not getting his minutes with the SMB as he is not a starter, but he has to play his role, I hope he doesn't miss his role with the DYIP.

Ramos, McCarthy and Rosser are those who are being added to their roster, If I remember it right these players are quality players they can really contribute, Rosser and McCarthy are very familiar with each other while Ramos is really known with his outside shooting skills, we've seen them contributing together with those old familiar players within the squad.

CJ is not getting his rhythm yet, as Romeo and Fajardo still the main scorer of SMB. He needs to jive and build good. chemistry, we will see more when the resume of the game takes place.

[bisdak40]

We have three games for today after that unexpected postponement.

SMB will be battling the hot TNT Katropa in the second game. This is very interesting since the Beermen is put on an underdog status (though not much), seldom we can see them in this situation so as a fan, i will be rooting for them.

My picks:

NLEX +4.5 @1.90
SMB ML @2.1

Will stay away on the third game, doubt Rain or Shine could defeat a struggling Ginebra. Good luck on us all.
