2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[harizen]

Regardless of who will win, the Finals will be exciting. There might just be some speculation that if it's against a sister team, there might be a "bigayan" moment. Even it does, we can expect that to happen in Game 4 or 5. But I know, we will witness a great action between these two teams.

In the meantime, let's speculate after the match between Meralco and Magnolia. It's a do-or-die game and we will now see who will be the winner of the series later tonight.

Still observing what my bet should be. Game-time decision.

[chaser15]

The odds for Magnolia seem not worth placing a bet. They are heavy Favorites, not even close to the @1.8 ML odds that I'm expecting.

Maybe a good pick for Magnolia Hotshots -5.5 @ 1.89.

They are likely to repeat their dominant gameplay last game. Magnolia won't allow Meralco to pass them and have a trip to the Finals.

A do or die game is anticipated to a good competition, Meralco will try everything that they've got to win and try to go back in the

finals, while with Magnolia, they are the top seeder and for sure they will also do everything to advance and repeat what they've achieved

last season. It's good to discuss the finals once it's already there, right now, lets enjoy the last game of the semis and bet to whoever

we believe deserves the spot.

Good luck to that .

Mate, I'm on the other side, so may the best team wins. Right now, Magnolia is leading but I believe that Meralco will not give up and they'll not allow what happened in the last game. This should be a close game and I hope that Meralco will win.

Meralco have good chance for this since even if they are 4th in standing still they manage to make the life of 1st seeder hard to win on each of there games. We provably see a good match since its do or die for both teams. But I'm going to bet on Hotshots since last game is good momentum bringer and might they will bring the confidence on next game.

As usual, this is a low-scoring game, the first half is over and Magnolia is now in the lead.
1st half score is 41-46 and Calvin Avueva is the player of the half.

That lead is still manageable, Meralco could come back in the 3rd with a huge run so they'll have enough lead in the 4th quarter.

[Kelvinid]

That lead is still manageable, Meralco could come back in the 3rd with a huge run so they'll have enough lead in the 4th quarter.

Agree with that, the 3rd quarter is very important for them as that will give them the momentum in the 4th quarter. We know how good Magnolia are with their pressure defense, so it's really necessary that Meralco will be able to come back here and take the lead so their chance of winning will be higher.

Meralco is now dominating the 4th quarter having a 6-0 quick run. I’m very happy watching the games because the tension of a do or die game on this semi finals keeps the 2 team have a very physical game. Lots of players going down in the floor just to defend the attacker in both teams. They are not scared on giving all on this match just to go in the finals. I believe Meralco got this already because Magnolia is already losing there momentum to score. There import too has a very low score as much as 5pts only on this game.

I thought that the game will be tomorrow but its today and I just visited their website and its only 34 seconds left with Meralco up by 13.
It seems that we will see Meralco and Magnolia again in the PBA Finals.

TBH, that would be better instead of seeing Magnolia and Ginebra in the PBA Finals. Both of the imports are having a bad night. Bishop with only 8 points while Harris having 5 points only so the Locals stepped up but it seems that Meralco's local players had the last laugh. Now with the best Import of the conference, I think many here will go for Brownlee and I'm one of it.

P.S. As I'm writing this post, the game is over already 94-81 in favor of Meralco Bolts and they are the ones that will go against Ginebra in Manila Classico PBA Finals.

An unexpected thing happened.

Congratulations to the Meralco Bolts for winning the semi Finals.

Now, we will see good Finals series between the Bolts and the Gin Kings.
I am also happy with the performance of the Bolts because I won my Moneyline bet.

Congratulations, big odds.

If Harris were playing, things could be different, maybe Meralco would still win but not the way they won the game.
Less than 8 minutes in the game, Harris was already taken out, though the Import of Meralco has less contribution, he was huge in getting the import of Magnolia injured. haha... Kidding aside, I'm sending prayers to the recovery of Harris, hope nothing is serious with that injury.

Yeah, that was the turning point, but prior to that, Meralco was already leading and they came back from a big deficit.

Bishop only made 8 points from 3/18 shooting, If he will not improve, JB will just eat him alive and Meralco would have no chance to make it a close series like what they did with the Magnolia Hotshots.

[harizen]

And that's it, Meralco Bolts wins the series via 94-81 against Magnolia Hotshots and will be back in the Finals of the Governors Cup for a rematch with Brgy. Ginebra. The memories of the 2019 Governors Cup Finals are one of the moments that Meralco won't surely forget. Meralco in the Finals will now erase some speculations that there will be "bigayan" in the Finals because the "Manila Clasico" is the rivalry of the same company.

Expecting odds for Game 1 will be close because of the dominance that Meralco has shown against the Top Seed Magnolia in the Semis.

Congrats to all bettors. Didn't able to place my bet because of Friday Madness lol.

That's a good odds, this is the best result with Meralco but still kudos to Magnolia for playing their heart out and for having a great season since the elimination.

Its final, Meralco vs Ginebra in the finals, no more rumors about fixed games since this are totally different team who wants to get the championship for this conference. Meralco should train harder because Ginebra is not an easy opponent. Can't wait to see the odds for the finals!

Finally we will see a good matchup in this governors cup and I want to congratulate to the winners who will bet meralco bolts.  Almazan and allein Maliksi doing great in this match, maliksi scored from the outside and almaxan take the inner points and these two players carrying their team to win.
Next betting choice meralco and ginebra San Miguel. These must be a good match.

Almazan  with a perfect FG, that was one of the biggest thing that help the Meralco to win.

Magnolia are good but they have no main man that would consistently contribute for the points, it was Harris in game 4 but he was injured in this game which the Meralco has taken it as an advantage to beat the Magnolia.

[Kasabus]

...>< it was Harris in game 4 but he was injured in this game which the Meralco has taken it as an advantage to beat the Magnolia.

Bad game for the Hotshots, they were up early but they weren't able to keep the lead and allow the Meralco to have a big run. Because the game was very physical, injuries cannot really be avoided, and if Harris wasn't injured, I guess Meralco would say goodbye, but they got lucky so let's welcome them to the PBA Finals. (GINEBRA in 4)

When Harris got injured Meralco already in the lead, I agree that due to physicality of the game it was Coach Black who's more willing to sacrifice their body to win the game, it's just as much better if Harris didn't fall it's just early of the last quarter when he left the court more time for the Bolts to abused Magnolia,

Ginebra and Meralco will now face each other in the finals, Pangilinan vs Cojuangco a very familiar business owners.

Fans will start now to pick side between these two franchises, not sure but the chance of Ginebra being the favorite here may show from the bookies.

That "Bigayan" thing will be forgotten now, the expected manila classico did not happen, Meralco is more eager to win the game.

Bad luck for Magnolia, Harris did try but that last fall is not tolerable anymore and he needs to rest up and let all the locals to try

beating the rallying Bolts. It's a good thing since these two teams have that past history, it would be nice for Meralco to continue

and again try to disappoint another SMC franchise.

They again have a chance to win against the Ginebra which they fail most of the time when they meet. It's a tough challenge for them as Ginebra has a more experienced roster and they also have the better import. I'm not sure if they could last until game 7 but I hope they will work hard, especially their import.

it would be nice for Meralco to continue and again try to disappoint another SMC franchise.

Meralco => SMB
Meralco => Magnolia
Meralco => Ginebra? ( let's find out)
