2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

[Ziskinberg]

On other game, I was surprised and stunned by NLEX performance last game. Even there are rumors that Magnolia just give way for another ticket sales the next game lol we see that NLEX really did their best. I just don't know if the same playing level will be shown by them in their do-or-die game.

If the rumors are true, then that's what we called game fixing, it should be investigated.

Well, if they really try to fix the game to prolong it, then it's not possible that they will again fix the game this time. The spread is high, I like that, and I believe that Magnolia is really the better team, they will win this game and will cover the spread. Good luck!

Same here, I believe they will cover the spread, it's still -6.5, so they have to win as they did in game 1 in order to cover this high spread. It will be a bounce back by the Magnolia, they are worthy to be a champion, so they better show up here and win the game impressively.

We are all united that we are betting on Magnolia -6.5, I hope it's not a trap because the spread is high and it could easily be covered by NLEX even if Magnolia will win. If you will ask me, the spread of the Ginebra is more like a trap than the spread of Magnolia, but who am I to know, we can only conclude if we see the outcome of the game.

Good to know that, the game will start in 5 minutes, so let's relax and enjoy the game.

Is there no thread for the PBA season for this year ^(2022-23)?. Thread title is a bit off topic to the recent discussions.

Better to lock this thread and create a new one, or if OP^(@mirakal) is inactive ^{(which is not)} then just create a new one and tell people to post on the new thread instead. The thread will not be labeled as duplicate FIFA and NBA current season has different thread too.

2023 NBA Season
FIFA 2022 world cup

There's no need to lock the thread, let's just ask OP to change the thread title. Just like the NBA, we only have one thread but the title changed every season.

Since before I support ginbera and magnolia so what ever the odds is.  even their opponent has a high odds or they got the high odds Still I support ginebra san Miguel and I put my bet to them and, yes ginbera has a good record and a high winrate they have a good line up that can beat meralco so without a doubt they can win in their match. And in handicap as we can saw ginebra got only 1.78 while meralco got 1.86 which is still good for me to choose gin kings.

i agree, because indeed no one will bet on the other side especially if we you already know which is the best team on the era. we have a favorite team though, so it's a big mistake to ignore them even there's a big difference on the odds.   we need to stick to one to prevent regrets that's the most important, i mean no matter what happen..lol

Oh, yeah, you are right. That's fine then. Well then another mention to @mirakal to change the title thread if ever he is fine at it and only if he is available to do so. Coz I'm a bit confused at first seeing the title thread while browsing the board.

[Baofeng]

Of course, we know what Ginebra is capable of, and that's what they did in game 2. And for sure majority here doesn't see that they are going to be eliminated. But they rise to the occasion again. So they will be the favorite in game 3 with the ML or even a handicap is not that bad to bet on them. And this is going to be another close game but maybe Ginebra has still something with them and win the decider.

But believed me, some of Ginebra fans are worried on that game. Meralco is keeping with the phase with Ginebra the whole game and there are lots of exchange leads. It's just that they fell short but overall, their game against Ginebra is a close one. This is a good series so far where both teams are almost equal and it now depends on players if they will have a bad night or not.

For sure, Ginebra fans are worried when they lost the first game, and even in the second because Meralco keeps coming back.

Hotshots and Road Warriors are in a very tight game right now, 78-77 in favor of Hotshots, closing in the 3rd quarter. This is going to be exciting, entering the 4th quarter now.

[jakelyson]

It is overtime for Magnolia and NLEX. It is very exciting and close match.

Magnolia made a magnificent stop against the NLEX and steal the ball with 2+ seconds left but was not able to make something out of it though. So we are now in overtime.

Have to wait a few more minutes for Ginebra vs Meralco do-or-die game.

Yeah, that was really thrilling, if only Oftana didn't miss 1 of his FT, this game will not go into OT.
They made a lot of mistakes in this game, so I would not be surprise if they will lose in the OT, but not sure if Magnolia will win the point spread as it's been a close game so far.

Its not do or die when the result is fixed like most of the games in this league.

Lots of humors about this fixed games but nothing has been proven yet so i still believed that PBA is not involved in game fixing unless someone would surface and gives hard evidence as this will topple down the oldest basketball league in Asia.

What an exciting/intense game between Ginebra and Meralco, if this is also fixed then Ginebra would be the winner but that is not the case as Meralco advanced into the semis with a nail-biting 2-point lead. 

So, interesting semis we have here as it will be against the top two business group. SMC and MVP teams, who will prevail?

In the first half, I thought Ginebra is already done because they are down by 20+ points. I almost closed the TV because it is painful to watch. But they rallied in the third using their tough defense to make a comeback. That is when things get exciting.

Thompson fouling out in the crucial moment of the game hurt Ginebra. They lost the game, I lost my bet but still I am satisfied with how the game played out. It was exciting to watch.

Yes, Meralco escapes with a 106-104 score, eliminating the Gins. It was a very exciting match, but Bolts was able to mantain it's composure. Chris Newsome, another great game with a triple double 21 points, 10 rebounds, 12 assists. And he lead 7 other Bolts player who score double digits.

Hard to see who will prevail in the semis, let's see how the first game will turn out.

[goinmerry]

What a game last night! Pure entertainment and intense!

Magnolia vs NLEX is thrilling at the very end and there are lots of crucial plays that can change the output.

Ginebra vs Meralco is also another thrilling game and until the last seconds, everything is crucial.

I don't consider any rigged part here. That was not making sense to think. There are wrong calls but for the rigged to become totally effective, it needs player's and team's cooperation. We all see how serious all players here are to win that game. Let's debunk those speculations as I clearly watch both games.

[harizen]

What an unfortunate loss for me.

Place a series of single bets for Ginebra's Moneyline and Handicap. Also, bet here in our place where I even take -3 points for Ginebra against a non-Meralco fan but a hater of Ginebra. I didn't expect the result but good win for Meralco. The last call was crucial but I agree with that call. It's just that it was caught. There are also missed opportunities for Ginebra prior to that play.

Congrats Meralco.

That crucial call was very obvious and yet there are still some Ginebra fans crying on the social media saying that Ginebra must won blah blah. They are fans indeed but they are just fans and they don't know anything about basketball (typical bandwagons).

I had watched the whole game and it's pretty much Meralco all the way until the 4th quarter where the Ginebra started to erupt but wasn't enough to get the victory. Now after 6 straight playoffs series losses, the Meralco will advance to the Semis and will face another SMC team again which is San Miguel. TBH, tonight's game was full of action. The first game was a hard-fought match as well and it also went to overtime and the 2nd match is a good match too. Good Luck to the remaining 4 teams .

That was clearly an offensive foul, I can understand how tired Thompson is already, IIRC, he was playing like 44 minutes, that's not the way to win a game. This all Filipino cup team has a big problem, they cannot defend so much on Thompson as he is an all-around player, he will be easily gets tired.

But Ginebra fans would not accept that, this is the first time that they oppose to the call of the refs because most of the time, it's the Gin Kings who are getting favored by the refs since they are the most popular team in the PBA. Let if pass guys, it's not time for Ginebra now but next conference, Brownlee is back and he will make this team great again.

So we are going to the Semi Finals.

TNT vs Magnolia

SMB vs Meralco.

Do we have our local betting here? I mean, a series bet would be good, especially for the TNT vs Magnolia series as both have even chance to win based on the betting odds. Anyone wants to organize?

We have our local bettings here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403342.0. Actually it is a prediction tournament by our very own @bisdak40.

Maybe you can follow that thread and probably tail some bets as well. Specially those in the leader boards as they really know the team that much.

That's another thing, it's a prediction thread, I want real betting. LOL.

It's Magnolia vs TNT, for sure we have plenty of fans here for both teams.
Maybe bisdak40 can organize this one while the semi-finals have not started yet, I heard it's a best of 7 series, so it will be more fun.

Remember Jimmy Butler in the Heat? He and Thompson's situation is the same, that he is doing almost everything.

Anyway, whether if you are a Ginebra or not, you must accept the referee's call because after all they're professionals and the technical committee already reviewed the call, and it was the right call and like @Yamifoud said, let's just move on with it and focus on the upcoming Semi-Finals. See the match-up? Nothing unusual right? It's SMC vs. MVP again . Well, let's just enjoy the game, and it will start on the 3rd of August.

Since there's no series betting in our bookies, then maybe this is the right venue to place our bet. hehe.

Kindly make an offer mate, who knows you can see a taker here.

BTW, SMB vs Meralco, who's betting on Meralco here?
