2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Yamifoud]

We have Phoniex vs Ginebra today.

I believe Wright is not available, so do you think that Phoenix will have a chance of winning this game, or at least cover the handicap?
This game will start soon, so guys, good luck!

Yes, no Matthew Wright because he is out of the country, so it's a big task for the Phoenix to upset a good team like Ginebra. As expected, it's Ginebra who are taking the lead as they are dominating early, and since they are a good 2nd half team, I already expect that they will have a big win here.

It's not over yet, Ginebra though leading the game but it's just a single digit lead, if Phoenix will continue to challenge Ginebra, then it might end up a close game, possible outcome, Phoenix will upset Ginebra or lose but will cover the spread.

Yup, uphill climb for Phoenix to upset Ginebra in this game but i just hope this will be a close game to cover the spread for the Phoenix side lol, a 9-point win for Ginebra is okay for me.

BTW, whatever the outcome of this game Ginebra will be locked at the number 4 or 5 spot wherein they face Meralco in the quarters and SMB in the semis so yeah this is an exciting playoff run for the Kings this series as they will be facing a highly motivated SMB whose mission is to take the AFC crown from them.

So is this a no-bearing game for the Gin Kings also?

I believe Phoenix has no chance anymore to be in the playoffs, but they are more determine to win because they want to show the management that they can beat any team, a win here would boost their confidence.

So what was the point spread in this game? is it Phoenix +9.5?
Well, looks like you predicted it right, the 1st half is over but the score is very close, it's 47-45, Ginebra with 2 points lead only.

BTW, whatever the outcome of this game Ginebra will be locked at the number 4 or 5 spot wherein they face Meralco in the quarters and SMB in the semis so yeah this is an exciting playoff run for the Kings this series as they will be facing a highly motivated SMB whose mission is to take the AFC crown from them.

Meralco could win the match, they beat the SMB last time IIRC, and they are a championship contender as well.
But I'm sure they will be the underdog against Ginebra.

[Sanitough]

Congrats @bisdak40, looks like you got a win here.

I was thrilled watching the game as I was thinking that Ginebra will pull away and will cover the spread, turns out Phoenix were able to hit the handicap. 7 points win only by Ginebra, that means we got a winner here. 

[Shamm]

100 to 93 which is 7 point lead by the kings won't loss what a game by the Phoenix but not enough to beat the kings.
Congratulations to the ginebra San Miguel fans who bet in this game they did it, and a good win by the gin kings. They are now in 4th place in this season with a twice-to-beat advantage and that is good for them to face their opponents, maybe it's easy for them to get back in the semi-finals or even in the finals of this conference.

Gin kings secure the twice to beat advantage and with the look on how they are playing the chance of moving forward is very possible, there's a chance that they can win another title, they still got the deeper squad and healthy players. Though it's too early to conclude but we never know. Gin kings is always a competitive type of team if opportunity come for them they will grab it.

They value the fans a lot and on the business side, PBA will gain more ticket sales if Gin kings will be in the finals again...

Thanks, i jumped on my seat there when Tyler Tio made the shot from the rainbow and they did not foul the Kings while they let the clock run out, what a thrilling game for me hehe.

BTW, there might be changes in the positioning in the quarters depending of the result of today's game. Ginebra will stay at fourth place if ever Magnolia wins and if they loses then Ginebra will go up in the third place but considering that SMB has the top 1 spot, Magnolia for sure will try its best to win to avoid facing its sister team in the semis, so I think I will be good to bet on the Magnolia Hotshot for tonight's game.

I like Magnolia too, they are now complete with a healthy lineup and I'm just so impressed with their defense and their teamwork. This team might even win a championship as they also have big that could at least limit Fajardo.

They are the hottest team now with a record of 7-3 (win-loss) but they are on a 6 winning streak.

I like to see them win a championship again,  and I love the fact that Paul is not so pressured now because there are lots of players that are willing to step up like Barocca and the Beast.

I hope they will continue their win streak, Blackwater are doing well so far, they have a good start and they are already ahead by 1 point in the 3rd quarter. This is not going to be an another dominant win by Magnolia but they will likely win this game.

[Kelvinid]

I hope they will continue their win streak,

It's another win for them, the streak is still alive.

They could not keep up on the same energy, Magnolia played very well in the 4th quarter.
They did not only beat Blackwater, the spread was also covered.

Paul Lee exploded here with 22 points, glad to see him back with his usual number.

[Kasabus]

Paul Lee exploded here with 22 points, glad to see him back with his usual number.

He needed that for the coming playoffs, Paul being healthy is very dangerous, but hopefully, the teamwork is still present and they will not only rely on Paul Lee. I still love the numbers on their previous game where many of them scored a double-digit, that's real teamwork in a team.

Congratulations to the winners, all betting favorites covered the spread.

Slow start for the Mags but coming second half the tight defense really gives them that luxury to overpower the Bossing, and yes, Paul Lee is back and he got a good stats today but like you, I also wanted to see the team to play together and not to rely much from how Lee will going to play. They need to keep the system works and make sure that they will distribute the ball and create spaces for each other.

Playoff is another journey to all the team and we will expect more interesting and exciting games between the teams that will move forward to this next round.

I didn't watch the actual game, but based on the highlights, the offense was very fluid. Nice rotation and combination by coach Tim, I hope his 2nd unit always plays like that. Good to see that all the Ginebra players have improved. I hear that Wright is a free agent so and he may likely go to Ginebra because that's his favorite team. One more thing to mention is that the PBA should adopt the NBA court size especially the 3pt line.

That will make the Ginebra unbeatable, I think that is not fair for the superstars to go to one team, that will make the other team suffer as they have no chance of winning the championship. This league is obviously the league of MVP and Cojuangco, that's why sometimes it's boring to watch.

Teamwork is a must in the world of basketball and Magnolia have that and they used that as a weapon to claim the victory. We all know that Paul lee is very dangerous in terms of shooting outside and in paint area so the team find him. But Magnolia use that as a advantage they work as one every player contributed well scored well and in terms of defense they got jalalon as a defender in the outside.

They had already formed a bond that would make them a very defensive team. look at the total score in their game today, they only limited the Blackwater to 66 points in the whole quarter, so you can really tell how effective their defense is, and they are not easily getting tired due to everyone being given minutes to play.

Magnolia has a very good line up now if their players don't have latest injury then it's good for them.
That's the advantage of a team if many players will be given time to play and their star players did not feel tired because their backups or let's say support will give their best also and have a good points and a good defense unlike another team that only their star players can make some points and that's the reason why they have a small percent of winning every game.

Not fair if Wright will go to Gin kings, the current squad is already composed of talented individuals. Though the possibilities are not by far as Gin kings can offer him a decent amount of contract plus the chance of playing with his favorite team, I can say that if ever that the trade will materialize it will add additional firepower, especially from the outside territory.

Wright as we know him, a deadly outside shooter with a good impact offensively, bringing more treat if he plays alongside with Thompson, Pringle,CStand and Aguilar.
