2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Johnyz]

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.

McDaniels really want to go home and see his wife and his baby, so better for NLEX to accept it and McDaniels already inform them since last year, they should anticipate this and they should start looking for another import which they already did. Its just that, they advance to the next round and they badly need a good import so they can stay on a good winning note.

^^ 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.

Just a fair game and with that very close fight, even the coaches of each team are not sure if they could win, they all just rely on the player's decision and shooting.
Well, SMB makes difference by now, they are pushing forward and working hard for the team. Likely they are creating a good momentum by now, that is a thing they are supposed to do. Anyway, losing some money isn't a big deal as we are enjoying it.

NLEX already announce their new import days ago, it look good but of course still need more time to deal with the system of NLEX. McDaniels really help the team to advance for the next round, its too bad that he have to leave early. Well, NLEX should not feel bad about this one instead look forward for a more winning games as they enter the next round, the competition will become more harder on this level.

that's a sad decision Mc Daniels is a very good import that can carry his team and as what we already observed in the his is doing great in this season but his decision must be follow as he leave the NLEX team I think also that they need an good import like Mc Daniels or better than MD to sustain their winning and has a chance to get the Trophy.

This is a dangerous scenario for NLEX, an import change going into the quarter-finals because we never know on how the chemistry will work with the new import. IMO, that's a shallow reason on the side of McDaniels to leave the team on this time but in fairness to him, he already advised the management of this even before he played for them.

For today's game:

Ginebra -4.5 @1.86 vs ROS, must-win for the Kings so i think they will work hard for this one though this looks like a very risky bet for me because Ginebra is so erratic right now.

They have to deal with this, though I believe they already anticipated with this one and they already knew what to do since this is not a first time I believe.
NLEX have to do their best going into the quarter finals, the local players should step up for now while their new import is still working to adopt the game play and system of NLEX. This may not look easy for them, but they are already here on this situation, there's no turning back.

Ginebra -4.5 @1.86 vs ROS, must-win for the Kings so i think they will work hard for this one though this looks like a very risky bet for me because Ginebra is so erratic right now.

A must win game but a hard one for sure, ROS is still a good team despite of their current standing they will surely not let Ginebra to win easily.

They have a good lead now, Ginebra will take this win but not sure if they'll be able to cover the spread. We are now in the 3rd quarter and ROS reduce the lead into single digit, hopefully, Ginebra will hold on and will win this game.

ROS did come back but still Ginebra takes the lead with 6 points now in less than 5 minutes in the 4th quarter. The crowd is there for Ginebra, this is an exciting game, looks like Ginebra is going to win but the game is not over yet, so let's find out.

It's unfortunate for the ROS they allow the Ginebra for a 16-0 run and their import was also fouled out in the 4th quarter so they have to play all Filipino in less than 2 minutes of the game I guess. But it's a good win by Ginebra, they keep their composure, win and cover the spread.

ROS import is too eager to win, and protect their small lead unfortunately he reached his limit and got fouled out for the last two minutes.

Jeff Chan is fantastic today, such a great local player and helping the whole team to win today, still no doubt about the skills and talent of Brownlee with a big 25 points today, ending their elimination round on a winning note. Let's see if they can still be able to rise from below and do better in the next round.

He had an impressive shooting, he was one of the reasons for the Ginebra's big run. That was the Ginebra I know, everyone is contributing and does not only rely on their import, if they will always play like that, I'm pretty sure they have a decent chance to win another championship again.

He scored 15 points, and he has a 4-7 shooting from the 3 point area, that kind of production is not something we see every game from Jeff Chan. And the fact that their import only scored 25 points, clearly tells that everyone has made their contribution to balance the attack, also, C. Stand scored 20 points in this game, this is a good production for him.

They need to work together and start making some good plays and win the game. Chan as we know him way back he really has that long range shooting skills, even he's no longer on his prime but that shooting touch is still there. If he and the rest of the team will contribute and not to lean on Brownlee alone, Ginebra is one of the top contender in this season.

Let hope for them to start doing the usual routine in winning game after games. The next round is nearly coming.

The exciting moment that we are waiting for, now that we are going to the playoffs, it's so timely that Ginebra and SMB had already found their rhythm, they really need that during the playoffs, especially against the top teams.

Magnolia Hotshots Pambansang Manok is still the hardest team to beat for me, that is because they have good chemistry and their import is very comfortable playing with the system of Magnolia.

[Fredomago]

Magnolia Hotshots Pambansang Manok is still the hardest team to beat for me, that is because they have good chemistry and their import is very comfortable playing with the system of Magnolia.

They also have fresh and primes legs, players are still young and can really run much longer, Magnolia gained more confidence after that final birth last season, they continue to play as a whole, they are not relying to anyone but with the system that they are using. As a viewer, you would love to see how they play the game. Both defense and offense are organized.

The very reason why they are still on top and they really giving a hard day to every opponent that they met.

Imagine if they complete the rally against Batang Pier, that's a close game coming from a huge gap.

That's their only loss, maybe they are already tired for the winning streak by that time.
Magnolia is indeed the team to beat here, hoping that they will maintain their position until the final because this is still basketball and everything is possible to happen better for them not to be complacent and continue to play their system, because its working for them very well.

I'm confident that they'll be in the Finals, I'm not sure who they are going to play against with, but if it will be Ginebra, it would be better to witness this 2 strong teams playing for the best of 7 games. The good thing with Magnolia is that their locals are contributing very well, they have a capable import but they don't rely to him so much and the coaching staff has been effectively managing the minutes of every players.

With high confidence in your teammates, it's easy to work side by side with whoever is inside the court. Magnolia established that kind of trust and whatever plays they are executing you'll see moving people and it's really tough to read if how they will play you. Plus the defense, which makes them very dangerous.

If they break your play, expect them to finish the run with a high percentage of scoring the basket.

Leadership from the locals gives their import an easy task, and with that good mentality to support the team and to be there
When the team needs him, that's teamwork!

What made them better aside from their chemistry is their defense, you can see that they are really working hard on their defense, the coach knows how to manage their time that's why they have fresh legs when every time they need a defensive stop. The fact that they have an efficient import, that makes their flow on defense and offense more balance, and not only that, their local are not making a struggle in the game.

Yes, they have their players intact. There was a rumor before that Jalalon will be traded, good thing it did not happen as he is one of the best defensive players for the team, his hustle plays give energy to the team and when Paul Lee's shots are falling, that would make the team unstoppable. By the way, they'll be up against the Blackwater in their next game, so expect the losing streak of Blackwater will continue.
