2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup

Yes, but the most important is they already have a twice-to-beat advantage. Big win by converge, they are not tired of winning as they are keeping the win streak. This is so far the best conference, they should keep their import for the next conferences, just like what Ginebra did to Brownlee.

The top 4 can still move since Magnolia still has 4 games left and Ginebra 5 games left. Top 2 is not yet secured so they are not yet secured of twice-to-beat advantage. But the top 3, Magnolia, Dragons, and Converge already secured a playoff spot. The rankings can still be rearranged.

Magnolia has a tough schedule. Their next matches are San Miguel, Bay Area Dragons, Meralco Bolts, and Rain or Shine. These are tough teams to beat and Rain or Shine and San Miguel needs to win to earn a playoff spot. So, expect them to give Magnolia a tough game.

That's really tough, although they are number 1 now they will have to beat the SMB, Bay Area, and Bolts for them to secure a twice-to-beat advantage. The teams mentioned are also championship teams, so it's gonna be exciting to watch what team will top in this conference.

And all mentioned teams are also trying to secure a good spot for the next round. All have reason in aiming for the win. Both Bolts and SMB are fighting to have a playoff birth while Bay area is trying to regain the top spot. Like what you said, those teams are competitive teams and capable of advancing to the finals.

Though Magnolia is also a good contender in this season, they have the top spot and they are trying to keep it, make sure that they will have a twice to beat advantage.

Though Magnolia is also a good contender in this season, they have the top spot and they are trying to keep it, make sure that they will have a twice to beat advantage.

That's right, it will be a shame if they will fail in the elimination round, their effort would be worthless if they will not make sure they will beat their opponent. Their succeeding games are very touch, we will see if they are really legit this conference and they have a shot of winning the championship.

Don't worry as there is no way Magnolia will fail in the elimination round even if they will lose all their remaining games. Their playoff spot is already secure and what's left is the final seeding and who will have the advantage in the Quarterfinals. The worst-case scenario for them, let's say they will lose all their remaining games is still not even at worst, as they will still have the chance to get the twice-to-beat advantage in the Quarterfinals.

Their next game is against SMB and I hope no "Sagip Kapamilya" will happen as SMB is currently in a tight spot now and every win is a must.

They are secured already for the next round, what’s getting more exciting here is that other teams are also doing very well and it can be a big threat for Magnolia if they become more complacent here. Just like the previous conference, Magnolia should be more consistent now as they will face a more serious and compose team next round, there’s still a chance for Magnolia to enter finals though, that’s the main goal for them.

I don't want to think about it but "Sagip Kapamilya" can't be avoided or the chance of happening is high as SMB Beermen needs all their remaining games to qualify for the quarters because like you said that even if Magnolia lose all their remaining games, there's a chance that will still covet that twice-to-beat advantage.

Magnolia 1.62 vs SMB Beermen 2.16

Isn't this attractive?

Chances of that to happen is really high, SMC may give this one to their main team to make sure that they are still in the competition, the odd is also attractive knowing that SMB also have stars who can stand and lift the team to win the game, though we don't know what will going to happen, still early to judge the game as the score was tie after the first half, it will still anybody's game now.

Bettors who wanted to bet do have a much decent odd for the ML 1.85 for Mags and 1.95 for SMB now.

Very close game at the moment, anybody's ballgame for now with the Beermen trailing by 5 points. Scott is not having a spectacular game but there is still a quarter to play and they might catch up in the end.

Meanwhile in the first game, seems like Meralco is pretty serious on their campaign to qualify for the quarters with a big win against their sister team, TNT Katropa. Another upset because on the pre-game odds, it was TNT who was slightly favored to win the game.

Magnolia won the game and they remain on the number 1 spot. It's a very thrilling game but the better team won.

Yes, Meralco became a different team when they had a good import, so they keep winning, thus far, Mcdaniels is already 2-0 with his new team.

Mcdaniel's impact to his new team really help them to play harder, they won the game to continue the chase of having that spot for the next round, to those bettors who loves in staking with the underdog this win gives them decent amount of money. I was in the impression that SMB will also have that same result since they are the slight underdog and the game is close up to the last minute, but Mags didn't give them that chance to win this one.

No sister team for now for the SMB, as Mags doesn't want to leave the number 1 spot yet.

that is bad news for San Miguel fans. San Miguel now slides to #10 with 4 games left in the conference. Without June Mar in the lineup, San Miguel finds it hard to win games. There is a possibility that San Miguel will not be able to make it to the playoffs. Their remaining games include Phoenix, TNT, and Meralco. These teams are also fighting to retain their slots in the top 8 of the ranking. Expect them to give San Miguel a hard time. Maybe the easiest game San Miguel will have is Terrafirma which is at the bottom of the rank with no win yet.

SMB is my team but this conference I'm not seeing any exciting or entertaining game plan, seems like they are just doing a practice games with no hard attempts or eagerness in winning the game, no offense just like what I said I'm a fan but without Fajardo the team continue to struggle most of their games they lost in the last few minutes of the game.

Though by looking on their squad, they still have the players who in papers are capable of competing and can stand and take any challenges from any team from the league.

Just the plays and executions are not favoring them compared when Fajardo is around.

[LogitechMouse]

Yes, Meralco became a different team when they had a good import, so they keep winning, thus far, Mcdaniels is already 2-0 with his new team.

No sister team for now for the SMB, as Mags doesn't want to leave the number 1 spot yet.

We know what's the capability and how McDaniels played during his stint with TNT and NLEX.
When he was in NLEX, he is my top bet for import of the year at that time but because of some personal reasons, he left the league thus, NLEX lost in the playoffs.

TBH, I know how McDaniels play and how he will dominate the league again to the point that I bet them to win against the Bay Area and he didn't fail me as they won and now, they are on a 3-game winning streak. I just don't know why other teams aren't prioritizing him to get as an import where he already proved that he can be a dominate import in the PBA. Now the bottom team Bolts without McDaniels are now at the 7th spot already with him.

SMB on the other hand is now on the verge of eliminating in the regular season as they lost against the Hotshots. I don't know but it might be shameful with the SMB organization if they will not clinch the playoffs this conference.

[Kelvinid]

Not much to watch out for the games tomorrow, 1st game both weak teams, 2nd game weak team vs strong team.

1- NLEX vs DYIP
2 GINEBRA VS BOSSING>

I think I'll just try to bet on the spread of Ginebra as they need a win here. Against Blackwater, I think they can dominate the team and will get and easy win. No betting odds available yet but Ginebra will surely be a heavy favorite.

If it will not be available tonight, we will surely see these odds tomorrow.

NLEX vs DYIP, although NLEX here is probably the favorite they are also struggling in this conference. With 4 straight losses, I think they are just the same as DYIP has a chance here to break their losing streak. About Ginebra vs Bossing, this will be fun but of course, Ginebra will win in the end, however, I'm not sure if they can cover the spread.

Too bad for NLEX to be on that position, but for sure NLEX will be the favorite team to win here.
GINEBRA will have a great win for sure, this can be a good game for them to create good plays and take this opportunity to prepare for their next big games. Though GINEBRA should not to be more complacent here since Blackwater can also have a good luck and beat them. Mostly the odds here might not that attractive, well that can still be a profit for you.

NLEX vs DYIP is a God matchup  they are both in the lower bracket so it's will be a good one but as we all know that NLeX will be the favorite of that match as they have 3 win while terrafirma is a farm team that there's no win at all in this conference then nlex have a good advantages. In the next game then it's easy win for barangay ginebra for sure because backwater is a farm team also which is weaker than ginebra.

Saying SMB seems just doing a practice game might be a slap for those teams who beat them.

Let's give credit to those teams that are able to beat them even though SMB has the considered good lineup in the league even without Fajardo.

It does means that some teams improved while at the same time, having a reliable and consistent import plays a big role.

[chaser15]

In the next game then it's easy win for barangay ginebra for sure because backwater is a farm team also which is weaker than ginebra.

BlackWater is not a farm team but this team is just simply not competitive even before. They are one of the independent teams in the league that did nothing to improve their roster. They even hold the record for the longest losing streak in the league. It should be an easy win for Ginebra as they also trying to make a good position in the quarterfinal seeding.

SMB didn't save by Magnolia. Actually, they are saving SMB but on that night, SMB is playing horribly. Magnolia is not even showing their best but still, SMB loses.
