SMB vs Rain or shine game is over.

That was intense, the game looks a one-sided game in the beginning but Rain or Shine came back with their good run, unfortunately, they were not able to complete the run and still lose the game, but at least it's only a single digit loss and the 4th quarter was really a thrilling game.

Finally, Shabazz played well for the team and he helped the team to win. however, I am not yet convince that he is the best import so far despite of his good stats in this game, I feel like there's still better than him and I think that's probably Harris of Magnolia.

What do you think? agre or disagree?

Harris of Magnolia is doing great because he has a great team while Shabazz is still struggling with their teammates, so its hard to confirm for now but for me they both have a great skills, they just need a help from a local players so they can be more effective. This is a needed win for SMB, such an intense one with a lot of twist.

SMB and Magnolia are good teams, it only matters on the chemistry because Magnolia has not moved players a lot, unlike SMB which just recently traded their veterans to keep the young player and look at what happened? the result is not good.

This is why we should not too dependent with the imports and don’t expect too much from them especially if there’s a problem with the local players, Magnolia did a great job as a whole team and that’s why their imports shines like the best one. SMB should work with their chemistry as a team, their import is still capable of doing great things he just need a help from his team.

SMB used to be a great team, but letting go of Santos and Cabagnot was really a wrong decision. Northport now is playing very well and Santos is one of the biggest contributors to the team, so Santos is not really that old as he can still produce good numbers for the team. I'm pretty sure the SMB management are regretting their decision, instead of keeping the veterans and use their experience, they send them to other teams.

Able to got a good odds last night between Alaska Aces and Phoenix Fuelmasters on a Live Bet.

It's a good thing that Alaska able to keep up with the Phoenix during 3Q and scores are almost close resulting for the latter to have an over @2 odds to win the game. Just got worried a bit that after Phoenix almost got lead by 15 in the 4Q, Alaska managed to make a rally later on.

Ginebra lost to NLEX.

I'm happy I did not follow my heart, instead I go with who is the better team on record, and I was right.



Hope you guys also have won your bet tonight.

SMB prioritized younger players over anything that is why they traded their 2 old players Santos and Cabagnot and I don't see it as a wrong decision because it is what the management believe is the best decision for the team. Even though its hard for them to let go, they really need a roster change.

I don't see it as a wrong decision to me because even though the 2 of them are still there, they aren't as efficient as they was years ago and maybe they really need to let go of him for some personal reasons. On the other hand, NorthPort really is utilizing him so much. He is helping those young players with his experience and at the same time, he really is efficient and is helping the team. In the end, both teams benefited in their own ways. NorthPort got Santos who really is playing very efficient this season and SMB got some younger and talented players like Manuel, Enciso and now Cruz.

Ginebra lost to NLEX.

I'm happy I did not follow my heart, instead I go with who is the better team on record, and I was right.



Hope you guys also have won your bet tonight.

Good start for Gin kings but unable to sustained that good chemistry, after that first half NLEX start to spark and rally back, overpowering the Gin kings, I was thinking about placing small bets for the handicap good thing the odd change and i ddin't push my bet. NLEX is too hot to handle not even how hard Brownlee try to lift his team.

Good for you for choosing different type of bet, congrats !

This conference is really not for Ginebra, the lead is not that small and NLEX really did a great job today.
Its good that you follow the numbers instead of your emotion, I do love Ginebra as well but this game is really not for them.
NLEX now enjoys a sure twice to beat advantage, if they face the lower teams most probably NLEX will win, so let's see.

Not for SMB either, it's for the NLEX, Magnolia and Meralco, they are the top teams and the most consistent in the PBA. Brownlee is still good but Ginebra was never the same when they traded Gregzilla for C. Stand, REAL TALK.

Sad to say I'll put my bet in gen kings and the outcomes is not god right now 😂 kidding. anways good game for the both teams  snd they will give their best but NLEX is above all. Once again congratulations for your win.

I'm a fan of Ginebra, but they aren't doing best this season, though I wished that they could take the win against NLEX. Objectively speaking, it is true that NLEX has better record this regular season (8 wins, 3 losses) after defeating the brgy. tonight.
Honestly I thought Ginebra will be tonight's winner, they were up 12 in the first quarter, but then lost the next 3 quarters. Good game still for both teams.

Congrats to your win!

Congrats @Kelvinid, nice odds you got there.

It was a tough competition for KJ McDaniels but he has a better team in that game.

Imports production in that game.

KJ McDaniels 26 points 10 rebounds
Justin Brownlee 36 points 10 rebounds 11 assists

The import of the Ginbra won but the locals are not so productive.

Brownlee seems to be doing everything just to win but the local is not as effective as it was in the past. Lots of changes for the Ginebra, they struggle in the all Filipino cup so you can really tell there's a big lacking in this team and Brownlee cannot save them all the time. Imagine if your import average a triple-double and the team still lose, he would be exhausted for sure and disppointed at the same time.

Congratulations on your win mate, glad that you have the courage on betting against the Kings lol.

Yeah, you are right and it seems that Ginebra can't advance to the Finals this conference with the way they are playing right now. Father time is already catching fast on Brownlee and his productions is not the same years ago and the locals are not good in complementing on his plays.

Sad to see KJ leaves the country after that Ginebra win but happy that he ended his conference with a win, he might be back next conference for reinforce NLEX again.

[harizen]

NLEX are trying their best to convince KJ McDaniels to finish the conference. Even they are surely aware of what might happening to McDaniels, they want to take a shot if the import will change his mind. Unfortunately, looks like McDaniels is already 100% decided to end his NLEX tenure.

For other news, after Blackwater Elites, the Terrafirma DYIP is now also officially out of the playoffs contention. I hope they will have a good run next conference for something new and their most improved gunners won't be traded to a top tier team.

Yeah, but he already told the team about the situation before, so they are not anymore surprised, it's just that NLEX is doing pretty well with him so the team still trying their best to let him stay.

For other news, after Blackwater Elites, the Terrafirma DYIP is now also officially out of the playoffs contention. I hope they will have a good run next conference for something new and their most improved gunners won't be traded to a top tier team.

These two teams are the top teams when it comes to early exit in the playoffs. DYIP might improve but I have no hope for Blackwater anymore.

[Maasdamer]

Dirty scam league at its best yet again.
2nd worst team , out of playoff contention, owns a team that won their last 4 and fighting for playoffs.

This league is a total disgrace!

Well, it seems like he is already decided with his decision and I think there is no other way to end his stint this conference than giving the team a win plus a dunk from him. Looks like the import of NLEX isn't Terrico White like what has been posted online but its Cameron Clark. I hope that he can help the team especially in the playoffs.

Not only the 2 of them are eliminated as even Rain or Shine already eliminated from the playoff contention because NorthPort got a victory against Terrafirma where they put themselves to 5 wins against Rain or Shine that has only 3 wins with one game remaining.
The game between Meralco and SMB has been finished and SMB get away with a victory after a 24 point deficit at the halftime. Shabazz Muhammad is just a monster this night scoring 57 points and 19 rebounds. If you watched the last minutes of the game, you will see how Chris Ross is good at defending. He forced Bishop to turn over the ball twice which are very crucial and caused them the victory.

[bisdak40]

^^ put this bet when Meralco was ahead in the first quarter 29-26, I thought that it was a very good ticket because I know SMB would come back but the lead of Meralco soared high to 24 at the break, and the odds, if you were to bet for the Beermen, was 8.50 and I thought that's it for SMB, they won't win that game but as I was about to check how much was the lead of the Bolts, surprised to see that SMB won 115-110.

SMB made a good comeback and its good that you are still able to place your bet and you really believe on SMB. This might be the start again for SMB to go back to their core and play as a good team, I place some bet for Meralco unfortunately, I loss some money but that’s fine because the game was really intense and its good to watch, will bounce back in the next game.
