2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

He is the Filipino version of JR Smith when he held the ball during the Finals against the Warriors where they got swept.

that's funny! Lol but the difference is smith didn't look at the timer and LA mistake is he didn't look at the score board and just make a decision.. Actually there's a lot of Filipino fans that have doubts on LA because some of their losses because of him..i  dont know if its true. by the way he already admitted his mistake, let see on the game 4.

What's done is done and he has already admitted the mistake and that's enough already. Let's see later if NLEX will still snatch a win or Ginebra has already learned the lesson and it's gotta be the final game for this semis for this series.
Seriously guys, what do you want to happen? Extend it up to game 5 or just end it on game 4? I think what everyone is expecting is the ending of this series on game 4 and that's what the majority is wanting to happen since it's Ginebra.

Well, he could really throw a 3 point shot there but still go for a different shot maybe he’s expecting that someone will foul him so he can go to the free throw line and take the lead unfortunately the result is not in favor to him.

The way we see that action of him driving to the hoop, it seems he is not attempting to get a foul. He is avoiding the defense throughout his charge court-to-court.

NLEX is also not dumb to take a foul as they are leading by 3. The moment they saw LA crossing the 3-point line, they also got confused. Look there's no help defense from NLEX when Tenorio drives since that's their advantage as the clock is now ticking to an end.

Tenorio made it clear it was his mistake but it won't take away the speculations of others that it was intentional. The estimated crowd on that night is around 13,000 people and the PBA even congratulate it on their social media account where Ginebra's page make a meme that it was them as the main reason why the crowd hits that number. 13,000 x **** is a great revenue for the league.

Live match now between Magnolia Hotshots vs Meralco Bolts, do you think they would beat the lead team Magnolia Hotshots? I am not really familiar with the current players of the PBA but right now it is the only available live match in Stake.com I placed bet with the Magnolia based from the previous matches and their current standing which is 9-2

Meralco is on decent spot in standing also they have high caliber players so we can say that they have good chances to defeat Magnolia in this game. But we can really say that its a tough match for them as they are playing with the number 1 seed and as we know the confidence level is so high and that might give them a win then continue to extend their winning record.

Looking at the game now looks like we are going to see a do-or-die game between these two teams.

1st half is over and Magnolia has a very comfortable lead, 42-30 is the current score, it's a low-scoring game so you can tell how Magnolia played their defense in this game as they don't want to go home.

It's not over yet, but I agree that the Magnolia has a comfortable lead and they might even the series tonight. End of 3rd quarter already and they were able to maintain their double-digit lead, let's see if they close well and win this game.

Paul Lee is still struggling with 4-14 shooting so far, good thing their import is having a good game tonight.

There's still time, Meralco is capable of getting a big run, in fact, they are now trailing by a single digit only, so I think Magnolia fans should not celebrate early as this could also be their last game.  Anyway.. good luck, game 5 makes the series more interesting though but if Meralco will end the series tonight, I'm okay with that.

The game is over, there will be game 5 of this series.

Final score: 94-73, Magnolia wins.

Harris with 34 points and was named as the best player of the game.

See you in game 5,  choose wisely as I'm sure it will be a very close series.

It looks like this is already a finals because of good intensity in the court and its really fun to watch basketball with the live audience.
Its a good hassle for Magnolia to stay alive and push for a do or die match, if Magnolia wins it will be another sister company to match in the finals.
I'm rooting for Meralco now, I know Magnolia is been unstoppable for this conference but I want Meralco to win on this one.
Its really not easy to place a bet right now.

Anyway, congrats to Ginebra for the comeback in the finals!

Harris was also efficient on that game shooting 72% and take not he took 22 shots on that.

Both Magnolia and Meralco are equally match and you see that there's a lot of physicality on this match-up. I mean I know that PBA players is very physical but this series is far more than what is normal. You will see Abueva and Hodge bumping with each other then another player will do the same but its normal.

Still, I don't want to see a SMC vs. SMC in the Finals that is why I will bet on Meralco in Game 5. At least if I want to watch the Finals, those two teams are from different companies. Its more fun to watch right? .
Congratulations to Ginebra for going to the NBA Finals.
Brownlee doing Brownlee things. 47 points and almost a triple double. I think with how he is playing this playoffs, I'm betting him to be the best import this conference.

LOL, we are not yet in the NBA finals, it's PBA. haha..
I know it's a typo error, maybe you are a bit excited with the result.

Ginebra knows they can count on him, and he didn't fail his team by carrying his team on his shoulder.
It's going to be a classic NBA Finals, whether it's against the Magnolia or Meralco, for sure it's an entertaining series.

I won't argue with that typo error    Kabayan might be very excited or maybe a Ginebra fan but kidding aside, that's really a great game coming from Brownlee, he did what fans expected him to do, lifting the team and bringing Ginebra to the finals, one more series and they
might have another ring.

Do or die between Meralco and Magnolia, tough to call we know both teams are really trying hard to win and be at the finals,
It's interesting if how Bolts will adjust and try to upset Magnolia or vice versa.

Ginebra have a huge number of fans so I also expect a classic game with a huge crowds. Ginebra also have a good chance here to win the title, the way they played right now is really unstoppable especially with Brownlee. They have time to prepare for finals and have some rest while waiting for their opponent, You’d better be ready to bet for your team in the finals as well because this will be an epic match up for sure.

[blockman]

Congratulations to Ginebra for entering in the finals, what a magnificent performance. Now, it's Magnolia and Bolts.
I want to see the Magnolia enter the finals against Ginebra and hopefully they'll win on Friday with their last deciding match against the Meralco Bolts.

Justine Brownlee fulfilled his promise to LA Tenorio that they would win game 4 and they did it with JB scoring 47 points, the most of his career in the PBA if I'm not wrong. JB is peaking at the right time and that is what makes this team so scary in the Finals and they also have the time to rest Japeth and not miss him because CStand was also playing very well.

Magnolia and Bolts is an exciting game to watch as we never know who would win but I'm more inclined for the Bolts to be in the Finals so that it would not be an All-SMC affair for the championship.

Ginebra really dominate the game 4 with an explosive performance of Brownlee, you can really see on their body language that they want to win and go to the finals. Magnolia vs Meralco is very intense as well, because both of them have the chance to play in the finals, maybe those who have a better sleep will win and go to the finals. I’ll wait for the odds for now and see where to place my bet.

Watching Ginebra the whole conference I though they can’t make it into the finals since they are on the bottom during the quarter finals, and it looks like to me now that it is part of their strategy to play at the lower bracket so they can get an easy win going into the finals. They show a real character here and going into the finals, they are more ready to face any team.

Its a do or die game between Magnolia and Meralco, many expect Magnolia to win here since they are the top team during the elimination but as I can see the improvements of Meralco in court, they have a higher chance here to go to the finals. They are both good but only one team will advance to the final, and for me its Meralco this time.

Are you fine, mate? To play in the lower bracket to get to the Finals easily? lol.

The lower the standing, it's more difficult. Just for a recap, they faced TNT and NLEX which are dominant during the eliminations. Where's the easy path for Ginebra for that? They just did their best and proved that they will "Never Say Die".

They are resting for a much long now while waiting for the Finals. They deserved that before meeting up either with Magnolia or Meralco.

That's what can you expect from Ginebra, with the import of course, when they played seriously and did not let any extension. The fans will have doubt if they will allow again NLEX to win. Actually, NLEX is not doing its best part. I think Ginebra is giving them a chance to extend the series as part of helping the PBA to cover what they lost during the Pandemic but NLEX is really having a bad night. They can't follow the script as they really have a bad game and can't match with Ginebra. They will just do good early but will lack pushing the game to win at the end.

From the lower, Ginebra is now entering the finals. Brace for more fans watching at the live venue. That's the only time PBA is getting more revenue when Ginebra is in the Finals.

Justin Brownlee takes that Game 3 loss as an inspiration to have that big production in Game 4. He likes to redeem what happens to a distracted L.A Tenorio last game on which instead of blaming game, they move forward instead.

47 points are something not usual for an import and Brownlee, even now in his veteran period, can still produce that big numbers. He will surely remember in the league when he retires from playing basketball. Coach Tim Cone also said that in an interview after that Game 4 win.

Back to Magnolia and Meralco, they are now in the deciding game. I like to see a Manila Clasico although I also like to see different companies to play in the Finals. Regardless, may the best team win.
