2026 PBA Governor's Cup

TNT refused to give up, that could have been easy for Ginebra since TNT was shorthanded in that game, they did not have BGR, Castro, and Oftana.

But their import was like a beast in that game, not only was he attacking but his outside shooting was very impressive in the last quarter, and that is the reason why Ginebra was unable to come back anymore. But that is fine, we still have the last game and we will see who really wins the championship, I am still rooting for Ginebra here.

The outside shooting really was the big difference in that game, both imports scored high but the difference is that the locals of Ginebra are not contributing as usual.

Even Abbarientos, the best player of the conference, was very limited in that game, so they need to make a big adjustment in Game 7 because if they want to win, they cannot expect Brownlee to carry them again, the guy is already exhausted and the locals have to help and contribute on offense as well.

And about betting, i already have in mind, i will be betting on the under, this sure another under game and it will be more physical.

The locals of Gin kings is off during game 6 I mean they just let JBL to carry them and like what you said, even RJ and Scottie who are known to be a good offensive arsenal, both are not providing the numbers that supposedly helping JBL, let see how they'll gonna adjust this coming game 7, both teams will surely give it all to win the title, both TNT and Gin kings are capable but only one deserves to win the crown.

That is the reason why they lost, even though JBL was unstoppable, the import of TNT had a better performance than him, so basically it was just a battle of imports and Ginebra lost that battle. Now they saw how capable Chris McCullough is, they should also find a way to limit him, do not let him hold the ball and make plays, they need to double him and let the locals do the scoring since they are undermanned anyway.

If their outside shots will not fall, this will easily go under.

I'm gonna ride with this.. the early the better.

Good luck, I like the under as well but I am not betting on the total this time, and I will always avoid putting my bet too early.

Lines can be so tricky, but this is Game 7 and I have not seen Ginebra lose in Game 7, especially when the crowd will be in full support tomorrow.

Of course TNT is good as well, but with a team fully supported by the crowd, I do not see them losing here, they have a healthy JB who has been very consistent in the series so far, while TNT’s import is good but I doubt his outside shooting will still be hot tomorrow, so if I will bet now, I would just take the spread.

We never know what is going to happen tonight, but one thing is for sure, TNT is not going to let this go easy in case they really lose the game.

They have the momentum, that Game 6 win was big especially from their import where they saw he can carry the team when the locals are struggling.
So I guess this is not automatic that Ginebra will win, we might see a surprise here and I hope we consider that possibility as well.

One thing weird on this series is that we thought a certain team is gaining momentum after a win but it is the other way around, i mean the other team will win instead them of continuing that momentum. So i'm going for Ginebra tonight because some of the locals of TNT might not play or they are not 100 percent healthy tonight like BGR, Jason Castro and Calvin Oftana. On the other hand, i have a feeling that RJ Abarrientos will explode tonight to help Justine Brownlee, he can't be offline twice in a row.

Good luck, we are on the same side here but I have not pulled the trigger yet, I am still waiting for better odds.

Currently the -4.5 is 1.93 in my book, if that will not change then maybe an hour before the game I will bet, also I noticed the total has gone down and is currently at 191.50 now.
I have a feeling this is really going to be a low-scoring game, it is Game 7 and they do not easily make outside shots in this kind of game.

I agree to that, defense will win the game for me, so both team will adjust and for sure both imports will again do their best to help lifting their teams, but local core stars needs to step up and find every ways that they can do to help, let see if how both teams will play their books knowing that they've got both veterans coaches, it's now going to depend on how players will execute their game plan it's a do-or-die game, a must win to earn the crown.

[Vaculin]

Ginebra is now down 7 points at the half, let us hope they come back in the 2nd half and win this game.

I just tuned in now but I was already monitoring the score, maybe I am the lucky charm here and Ginebra will make a big run in the 3rd quarter.
The spread is high so Ginebra needs to win by at least double digits to secure the win.

And it looks like the under is hitting by the way the game is going.

Yes, the game is low scoring and the under is already guaranteed to win, as long as this game does not go to overtime. This is the kind of finals we are looking for if you are a Ginebra fan, now in the 4th quarter fans are enjoying the game as Ginebra is responding well.

Ginebra is now down 7 points at the half, let us hope they come back in the 2nd half and win this game.

Ginebra had taken the lead, after the 3rd quarter Ginebra is now up by 5 points.
now we are in the last quarter, lets concentrate.

[Russlenat]

And the champion is Ginebra San Miguel.

Spread was well covered, total went under.

I did not finish the awarding ceremony so let us just guess who will be the Finals MVP, if imports are included it should be Brownlee, but if it is local, I am not sure who will get it since RJ Abarrientos had some games where he struggled. Also, kudos to Pinto, he hit 2 three-point shots when RJ was sitting due to an F1.

It was scottie the man who won the finals MVP.



I think he deserves it since he was an all-around player, he might not be consistent with scoring but his defense, rebounding and hustle on the floor were very evident.
So maybe the basis was his consistency in the game, if only RJ was consistent he could have won the Finals MVP.

[Questat]

As expected, Ginebra won the finals.  (88-76) Final score

TNT’s import being in foul trouble was a big help because Ginebra could attack the paint without enough resistance from their big guy, and that is the reason why they were able to come back in the game. But TNT had their own run as well in the 4th, they were able to trim the lead down to just 3 points, but the bad free throw shooting of McCullough gave Ginebra an edge and they continued their momentum. And while RJ sat for 3 minutes, when he came back he hit a 3-point shot that gave Ginebra a comfortable lead, TNT could not answer after that.
