2024 PBA Governor's Cup

[Maslate]

Can't wait to hear fans cheering up, especially those brgy Ginebra fans who are very supportive of the team.

As usual, only Ginebra will be able to make Araneta Coliseum crowded.

Justin Brownlee is also a crowd favorite since then. He puts up a big number during his debut at this conference making his name more hype at the Ginebra community. They will play on Friday and Sunday, that's the time I think there will be more fans watching live on the venue.

The Ginebra that we love before which is a "never say die" team is showing their capability of coming back because they were down at some point in their first game this conference, much more if the crowd is their, it will be easier for them to come back even with huge deficit.

That's the real definition of never say die, come back when they are in a big deficit and win the game. We've seen that many times in their games and the crowd is a big factor for their success, so with the announcement that the fans are already allowed, we can expect that Ginebra this conference compared to their previous conference, once again, Brownlee will do everything to get another big championship win.

If live audience is already allowed with a good numbers of capacity, I’m pretty sure Ginebra can really attract viewers to come and that has been the scenario since then but I doubt on only Ginebra can do this since some teams are also with a great number of supporters especially the top teams. This will still be a long conference, more time to see the teams playing on court.

With the addition of CStan, Ginebra is now the favorite to win this import-laden conference and that's boosted with the nod of IATF to allow their sixth man which is the crowd to be in attendance, I'm excited about how this will turn out.

Today's games...

Dyip vs Magnolia

Road Warriors +3.5 @ 1.85 vs Tropang Giga, NLEX is on a roll so I will still be for them.

Take your pick now guys.

What do you mean by pro league? Are they not pro league before? I'm just curious because MPBL is one of the popular basketball leagues in our country but I'm not so super sure about their status since I don't watch this league all the time.

Yes, that's what it is. You can read the article. (https://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1915527/Cebu/Sports/MPBL-officially-now-a-pro-league)
I don't watch them too but I saw the news a few days ago and thought of sharing it here. Although this is a PBA thread and there's no MPBL thread so I think it's still related although a bit of off-topic since it's a different league.

Since they are a pro league now, maybe this open an opportunity for this league to be listed in sports bookies, with that, we can have an MPBL league once crypto sportsbook starts listing them as the purpose of this thread is for betting, @blockman, that's really a great news, and this league should earn some fans here.

We don't know about sports books, maybe they will have some partnership with bookies or there will be individual bookies that will eye for them to get listed.
I've seen many on this thread that are very familiar with MPBL so that might work at the same for this thread or it's depending on the discussion. Now, there's two leagues that players can go.

Barangay Ginebra want to champion again in governors cup by the help of their import Justin brownlee, brownlee is one of the best import in PBA we all know that in 2016 they become a champion and defeat Alaska aces with Justin brownlee. And now again in 2021-2022 governors cup standing 1 win 0 loses which is a good start for the team.
And I agree with you that barangay ginebra can full the setting capacity in Arena. But now in pandemic I think some fans will sad because of the limitation of the audience.

Take your pick now guys.

Magnolia dominated the whole quarters, not sure If DYIP will be able to rally and close the gap, handicap for Magnolia not sure what's the odds though but it's close in winning and those who bet with ML, they all now enjoying the win. Easy pick for Magnolia fans, 1st game win for the franchise.

Giga will take their first game, let's see if how the import will perform playing alongside with Coach Reyes squad that handicap is tempting but knowing Giga it's tough to bet against them  no offense.

[Sled]

I miss the games today because I'm too busy with our fiesta celebration. Maybe I'll start betting again by Friday if there are games available. PBA games are always fun, I always love the feeling of putting my bet while watching the game.

For Magnolia, congratulations, that was a very dominating game ending in 87-114 score.

You also missed the NLEX vs TNT, NLEX still won and they are on a winning streak in I'm not mistaken.
Don't worry mate, it's okay to relax sometimes and enjoy your day, the PBA is still here and we will see more games before they'll go to the elimination round.

[bisdak40]

Giga will take their first game, let's see if how the import will perform playing alongside with Coach Reyes squad that handicap is tempting but knowing Giga it's tough to bet against them  no offense.

McDaniels is a monster import, I don't know why TNT didn't get him anymore, maybe they prioritize NLEX so they could make it to the playoffs.

That's a nail-biting win for the Road Warriors and me of course hehe. There's not much crowd in there but it feels good that finally, they are back at the arena once again. Let's wait for the Ginebra games and see if they can pack the coliseum to its maximum capacity.

They have the same owner, so your speculation makes sense.

Ginebra will have a game this Friday and Sunday, but probably the Sunday game will attract more crowds as it's a family day.
as seen in the https://pba.ph/schedule

Dec 17 - against NP
Dec 19 - against Phoenix.

[Shamm]

That game is very intense during the fourth quarter and a minutes left after a turn over from the NLEX turn over again from TNT.
Tnt has a chance to win that match if thier inbound  game is successful but sad to say thier import stepping on the line.
K williams is doing great during the fourth quarter and the lead decreased to 1 point which is good enough.
In NLeX side once again McDaniels scored 33 with 8 rebounds in that game carrying his team to victory.
And I think this conference NLEX have a chance to claim trophy.

Possible to happen, NLEX is also part of the Pangilinan group. Maybe we will see NLEX vs Ginebra this time 

But it's too early for that, we will see the performances of each team and how hungry they are seeing the fans cheering for them.

3 games and still counting, McDaniels really lifting his team. He's serving his purpose so well.

Congrats to all the winners! Best of luck to your next pick,.

The Ginebra game is what I'm really waiting though they already play their first game this conference, however, it's different when they are playing with a crowd as Brownlee also understands how the crowd fuel the team to be better, and I'm pretty sure Brownlee has already gain a lot of fans that would watch the game to see him as well.

[Kelvinid]

<<<< and I'm pretty sure Brownlee has already gained a lot of fans that would watch the game to see him as well.

He for sure gained some fans as he is the regular import of Ginebra, and not only that, he is also one of the best imports who make sure Ginebra will win in a tougher opponent, and he has proved already his worth as he gives a championship to Ginebra season's back.

[harizen]

Glad to see the PBA is coming back again at the Big Dome! Players surely missed those cheering every time they are nailing a shot.

The highlights of Wednesday's night double-header go fully to NLEX Road Warriors vs. TNT KaTropa. The match is so intense especially at the 4Q where KaTropa tries to make a rally. It seems unusual to see that TNT is struggling against NLEX but with KJ McDaniels on board,  NLEX now becomes a hot team. The management did a good job of acquiring McDaniels and if he will maintain that kind of play, we might see an unusual team playing for the Semis up to Finals this conference.

Those fans who watched live at the venue got what they want. After a non-competitive match between Terrafirma and Magnolia on the 1st game, kind of boring as other spectators said in some comment boxes, they witnessed a close game between NLEX and TNT. Their money is worth it.

P.S The website is now always updated. Only a few minutes before the game between TNT and NLEX ended, they now have a stat sheet.

Good to hear that as the last time I checked, they only provide schedules of the game but they don't give the scores anymore. I think they should improve their site as it's very necessary especially for those who cannot watch the game on their TV or even on a live streaming platform.

I'm checking this particular game now, https://pba.ph/recap?match=2023507.. looks like they are not done updating yet as the site does not load on normal speed although my internet connection is good.

They have updated their website, so probably they also provide play-by-play information on the live game. Though we can watch the game through live streaming, that play-by-play information is still important to evaluate the team's performance and as gambler, that is very vital.

I think MVP knows that TNT is a great team and a championship caliber team already that is why instead of getting McDaniels as their import, they choose Moore as their import. Well they said it already that these 2 are owned by only one corporation so its like they have a higher chance of entering the playoffs and getting a higher spot if they put KJ on NLEX. Anyway, he is playing well and they are at the top of the standings already so I think he is a good fit there.

Another thing that I think is how SMC moved a lot this past off-season. We saw trades and even SMB broke the "Death 5" to have better and younger players. Well, its better to see SMC Vs. MVP on the playoffs rather than SMC vs SMC team or MVP vs. MVP team. Still, the competition of the league is still at its lowest.

On the other hand though, it seems like the losing streak of BlackWater will never stop with how they are playing. They lost again against the Meralco Bolts by a huge lead (21 points).

That's the only site that gives the stats of the team and the game, so if they don't show some information, then that wouldn't be helpful to us because looking at the highlights alone is not enough to analyze the game and come up with a very confident bet.
