2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

Congratulations to the Ginebra Kings, that was always a comeback win by the Meralco Bolts but Ginebra keep their composure, and with the help of the fans, they were able to win and lead the series. Brownlee was the stop scorer with 40 points, but the locals of Ginebra really contributed especially Thompson who always had a triple double night.

Big win by Ginebra, it's Sunday and the crowd went to see their team. It looks like a home team (Ginebra) vs the visiting team scenario if you want to feel the atmosphere in the Arena, the fans are loud and they are in full support of their team. With what I see, I think there will be no game 7 anymore.

[crzy]

Justin Brownlee might be the top scorer in this game 5 but I think Scottie is the best player here considering how he explodes on the 4th quarter. He's stat just shy away with just 1 rebound to get a triple-double and it's an impressive stat. No game 7? I don't think so, but Meralco isn't a bad team at all to go for it. It's a do or die next game.

Ginebra players did a great job as well on supporting Brownlee, they exploded in game 5 and I was lucky I placed my bet with them. Ginebra make sure to secure the lead this time and take game 5, the next game is very crucial for both teams so let’s see if Ginebra will take the title next game or Meralco will force another game for a do or die match.

[harizen]

With that intense play, hard defense, physicality, draining shots, who else will think that everything is being controlled lol. The win by Ginebra is a win without any involvement of "bigayan". Game 6 will be the most memorable series for the Meralco Bolts as that's also the series when they were being taken down by Ginebra during their first meetup on the Finals with that iconic buzzer-beater by Justin Brownlee that sealed their championship on that conference. I'm sure Bolts won't allow that to happen and will try to extend the series in Game 7.

Here again the problem with Ginebra. Once Meralco is making a rally, they are being slowed down. Fortunately, they are being pumped again when the score got close and in the end, sealed the win for Game 5.

That’s the game we really wanted to see, a more intense one but still playing according to the rules. Ginebra did manage to bounce back and secured the lead, they started to play better after doing this. Game 6 will be a big challenge for Meralco because if they want to extend and go for another do or die game, they should have a better plays in game 6. Again, Ginebra will not relax in the next game they always want this championship and that’s why Meralco should do everything.

Do-Or-Die for Meralco Bolts' next game and that might give them more inspiration to take the win. That will be the last chance they have to survive the series. The pressure to win the game will fuel their gas tanks to be always FULL. We should exclude the business side here like other non-PBA followers are saying if Meralco will win Game 6. We will see if there's something wrong in the game before we can conclude that Ginebra will allow Meralco to win the next game to extend the series.

Meralco has it. They have the playing performance that can beat Ginebra and their capability to get from behind is one of those. If they managed to get a big lead during the early quarters, they might have a chance to win the game as they are good in protecting a big lead.

They can beat Ginebra in game 6 because we are going to see a game 7. The game will be on Wednesday, not many fans will see but if this series will have a game 7, by Saturday we will surely see the biggest crowd in this series and that is because of the Ginebra kings.

Meralco Bolts ML is already lock-in in game 6.

Do you think it was a cooked game after all? Who knows but if the Ginebra will play like what they have played during the recent game then it should make sense not to have a glimpse of this game 7. They might be locked in for this game but I'd say the same with the Ginebra.

Am I the only one that has a feeling that what happened in PBA Governors’ Cup 2016 might happen again?
I mean they have the lead coming into Game 6 so.... it might happen but it is just me sharing my thoughts.

Anyway, I also think that this will go into a Game 7 and on that it will be hard to predict who will win because its anybody's ball game at that point. We might see a much larger crowd in Game 6 but if this will go into a Game 7, expect for the MOA arena to be filled with people. There are some rumors in the past that Game 7 will be held at PH Arena but they confirmed that it will not happen (quite unfortunate).

Tough call Kabayan, but if we will see game 7, then it's worth the risk it will be a nice odd since they will serve again as underdog here and with the how Ginebra played them last game 5, it will be really a hard call for fans especially those with Ginebra side to bet against that kind of plays.

But, we can't hide that there's also side of us being a gambler that "hulugan" may take place to bring huge amount of profits
from ticket sales and something behind that..

Cooking show as they say. But let's all just forget all of those thoughts as this is the league and just getting back and recovering from the covid pandemic.
Game 6 or game 7, let's just support both of the teams but if I'm to call for it. I'd like to see it end with a game 7 so that it'll be a win as well for the ticket sales.

Even a PBA player believes that games are fixed.

This is an old news but is still relevant now, I think this destroys a bit of the reputation of the PBA.

Don Allado fined for P500,000, banned for one conference in PBA after ‘game fixing’ claims


LET THERE BE A GAME 7, if you believe in FIX, BE AT THE RIGHT SIDE.

That's sad cause if in case the series will end doing a do or die game, a much wider venue to accommodate all the fans is very likely profitable.

But we really don't know what will be the case here, if the leading team like Ginebra will probably to have another game if they can finish it in

game 6, the chance that they can win after that impressive game 5 might continue and seal the title for this import back up season.

Game 7 will be in the philippine arena for sure, I hope this would come true because game 7 aways gives a great experience although the fans are rooting for one team to win, and that is the Ginebra San Miguel.

This was in 2017, a game 7 and the crowd total is 54,086

For sure? Is that for real if ever the series goes on game 7? That's a lot of fans that would be cheering for both of them. I can feel how the crowd would be with that number and all of you are fans and cheering for both teams. It's possible to break or reach that record again if ever the next game would tie the series. I'm in between that Ginebra will be taking the game 6 and will be ending this conference as the champion.

That was the time when Brownlee was playing against the Best import which is Durham if I remember it correctly. He was strong and dominant, better than the current import of the Meralco Bolts, but in the end, it's still the Ginebra who won the series and that is because they have the fans that support them big time that night.

Game will surely attract more live viewers so having a huge venue is ideal but of course, this is still not guaranteed depends on the PBA committee and depends on the result of Game 6. When it comes to Ginebra, they always have a huge number of supporters, they are the crown favorite obviously.

[harizen]

The problem with Meralco Bolts is not utilizing their locals. From what I observed, it's only Tony Bishop and Chris Newsome who have that strong dedication to winning. Coach Norman Black benched out mostly the good role players. Banchero, Almazan, Belo, Pasaol, etc. where are these guys? I know some of them dealt with an injury but if only they have a good amount of minutes, they might unleash their inner strength as reaching the Finals is something that is not easy to achieve.

When Coach Tim is putting Brownlee as PF, Coach Norman has no choice but to put Cliff Hodge on PF as he and Tony Bishop has the capability to guard Ginebra's import. It's also noticeable that Coach Norman uses much his son even on the worst night.

I hope the series will extend to Game 7. They can even the series although I'm Ginebra to win the Governor's Cup championship.

Philippine Arena won't host any PBA events for now. If ever there will be Game 7 of the series matchup between Brgy. Ginebra and Meralco Bolts, it would be on Mall of Asia Arena. My friends and I are planning to watch it live as it will be on Sunday and that's our rest day. It should be today but we have work. Hopefully, we can get a chance to watch it live on Sunday.

Game 6 is the series where Ginebra beat the Meralco Bolts in 2019.

Bolts should not allow that to happen again and try to extend the series to Game 7 later.

Yes, game 7 should be more fun, though I believe that anytime Ginebra could beat the Bolts but as a fan I like to see a game 7. Tomorrow will be the game 6, I'm thinking of betting on the Meralco Bolts or will just sit this game.
