2025 PBA Governor's Cup

[Fredomago]

Not 60 points but 43. The real history last night was JMF getting his first ever triple-double. The commentators even called him “Junemar Jokic,” lol.

I’m not sure what SMB’s highest score ever is, but 158 points is a lot… that might already be some kind of record.
Final score was 158–117.

And who would’ve thought Titan could even reach 117? Offense was there, but the defense was literally zero.

Yeah, that is the first ever triple-double for Junemar Fajardo and 158 points score in a game is a biggest i think. That high scoring game happens because of no defense on both ends of the floor, they were just trading baskets and fortunately for SMB, their 4-point shot were falling as if it were free throws. I bet for SMB on that game and honestly i'm a bit doubtful that they could cover that 13.5 spread as SMB is known to falter whenever facing an opponent in the lower standing.

That's right Kabayan! most of the time when placing bets for SMB's handicap they mess it up but that last game those outside shots really falling like just throwing it inside the paint, that game can be compared to a exhibition game where players are throwing the ball so far and yeah they are making it, Congrats Kabayan for this another win.

Though  your first pick did not end well as DYIP did not perform and they are been well-dominated nothing that they can answer to cover that handicap.

They couldn’t afford to slip on that one. From the start, their shots were already falling, and a team like Titan, no playoff experience, no real winning mentality, just can’t keep up with that kind of momentum.

And look at their best player, Calvin. He’s good, but he’s not a team player.
If you watched the game, you’d see he kept forcing drives, barely any ball movement. That made them predictable and easy to shut down.

Easy money for the SMB fans yesterday. It was an easy game for the beermen.
I WON! I bet for SMB with -12.5, I placed a bet for TITAN 23.5 below for the first Q and they scored 24
ALL in all I still won yesterday. tomorrow again for the PBA fanatics

Yes, tomorrow again... and honestly, we might see another blowout.

First game looks boring already, Magnolia vs Blackwater… that’s a blowout potential for sure.
Second game is a bit more exciting, Ginebra vs Converge. But I still think the more experienced team takes this one.
And for me, both games look like they could go under.

I think I’ll unsubscribe from the PilipinasLive subscription already since it’s been consistent that every game is live on YouTube for free.

I like PBA’s decision on this matter, it used to be live before, then they removed it, and now they brought it back.
Maybe they realized it wasn’t helping them the way they thought, but sadly it took them long enough, still better than not putting it back.

They are now live on Youtube everygame ? what channel are they using on Youtube? before, I always look for them on that platform but always a live score, sometimes a guys being a commentator but no video of the game.
It is really a good  step forward if they will go live everygame, additional income plus a guaranteed no cut of stream unlike in FB

Just search PBA live kabayan and you will be directed to One Sports channel who are streaming the games live on youtube without any delay.
As far as i can remember, the PBA have streamed their games live on youtube years ago but they stopped it, don't know the reason though but i think it for the fans to watch the games live on the venue but it didn't click as PBA games aren't filling the arena.

You can clearly see how empty the arena gets when Ginebra isn’t playing. It feels like they’re the only team keeping the PBA alive.
If they start tanking, the games will be affected because people will lose interest.

So with this new move of putting some games online for free, it’s a huge help in reaching more people. Most of us today don’t watch through cable TV anymore, we watch through the internet. The PBA really needs to adapt to that shift.

Speaking of Ginebra, they’re set to face the young squad of Coach Delta Pineda today. The Kings open as slight favorites against Converge, which makes sense—Converge has yet to beat a top-tier team, and Ginebra desperately needs a win to gain some breathing room in the standings. A loss could push them into a hole that’s tough to climb out of.

My bets for today:
Magnolia -11.5 @1.83 vs Blackwater
Ginebra -3.5 @1.88 vs Converge

Good luck guys, hope we all have a winning day going into the weekend.

I think Converge is just overrated, so that -3.5 is actually a gift and I won’t hesitate taking it.

Based on the standings, Ginebra is only 2–3, so this is another must-win situation for them.

My bets for today:
Magnolia -11.5 @1.83 vs Blackwater
Ginebra -3.5 @1.88 vs Converge

Good luck guys, hope we all have a winning day going into the weekend.

All favorites, for me that's a good combo, even the parlay is a good bet..

Currently first game is ongoing, Blackwater even leading but this would not last.

Magnolia is rallying back, earlier after the 1st half Blackwater is leading by 7 points now it's Magnolia who's leading and seems controlling the tempo of the game, still early for those who loves to bet during live events still got chance when I check the odds earlier ML for Magnolia is @ 1.75 just don't have available balance.

Good luck Kabayan 2 more quarters and we will see if Magnolia will be able to cover the handicap!

4th quarter now. This is usually the time when Magnolia starts dominating Blackwater since Blackwater doesn’t play well in the last quarter. Magnolia needs this win to bounce back after that loss to SMB. They should finish strong and give an impressive showing, and hopefully impress those of us who backed them to win and cover the spread.

and... they cover..

[Russlenat]

The 2nd game is a very competitive one. As usual, Converge plays well in the first quarter, but the real test is always the 2nd half where consistency shows.
So far both teams are scoring well, but I have a feeling the scoring will slow down later and this game might end up low scoring.

I took the under 185.5. Hoping it hits tonight.

Everytime Ginkings get closer or go over Converge, the opposing team explodes and do 7-0 run or a blow-out points.
It was a huge game tonight. I though GSM can get a W but not enough.

First game was a close one, I thought, Blackwater was in control! but i knew it. it was a late game for Magnolia! easy money

Yeah, that's really pure dominance after gaining the tempo from the start of third quarter and they overrun Blackwater till the end of the game providing decent deficit to give those backers a sweet win. Though at the start Blackwater did shows competition but they unable to handle pressure when Magnolia start to run and tighten their defense, and like what you said they need the win to regain that confidence after losing against SMB.

Yeah, this was a bad bet… I lost that total ticket. But what really disappointed me tonight was the live bet after the first half. I grabbed the under 200.5, felt a bit happy after that solid defensive 3rd quarter, and even when the scoring picked up in the 4th, I still thought it would stay under.

Then that one last shot by Converge, Ginebra had raised the red flag already, but they still took it. Total disrespect, and you could see Tim Cone wasn’t happy at all. That shot pushed it to 200, and I already knew Ginebra would still take one more attempt because of that. It ended at 202… damn.

i'm talking about this one..

[PokerDiceMan]

Today there is an interesting match between the current PBA leaders, T and T Tropang Giga, and Rains or Shine. This will certainly be an exciting match because Rains or Shine is currently ranked 6th, only one loss behind, and if Rains or Shine wins, their win-loss percentage will be the same as T and T's, with both teams having two losses each.

Tough break, mate—what an unfortunate sequence that led to your loss. Coach Delta Pineda took the blame for Juan’s late lay-up, saying he gave the go signal because of the quotient system, which could impact the final standings. Personally, I think that’s just a convenient excuse. I lost my bet too, expecting Ginebra’s veteran core to overpower Converge’s young guns. Turns out I was wrong. Still, credit where it’s due—Converge has finally proven they’re a legit semifinal-caliber team.

Okay.. He gave the signal to score, but in the end they still didn’t defend Abarientos’ shot. So you’re right, it might’ve just been his excuse. It was really a disrespectful move, and everyone knows Coach Tim Cone hates that. Coaches like Leo Austria and Yeng Guiao  ^{the old-school ones} ,would never do something like that. It’s an unwritten rule in the PBA.
