Converge vs NLEX for the first game and this gonna be a good game,
NLEX + 7.5 vs CONVERGE ...

NLEX will play importless tomorrow and that is their big challenge while the new import of Converge is bringing good hope for the team as they start winning again.
I will go with Converge tomorrow and I hope Abueva will play heavy again.

I'm going the opposite kabayan, though the Road Warriors will be playing without an import but i think their system will work and everybody might step up and dedicate this game to their injure import. NLEX as what i've read has already a negotiation with KJ McDaniels to replace Jones but i think he is not yet in town to play for today's game.

That was the right call. NLEX almost had it as they took the lead after Bollick hit a 4 point shot but sadly Juan Gerardo Gomez de Liano answered with a 4 point shot of his own.

It was really a very interesting game. Bollick also made what could have been a tying 4 point shot with less than a minute remaining, but it was not counted because he was fouled before the shot.

Overall, even though NLEX lost, I'm still satisfied with what they showed.

That was expected because NLEX are playing without an import, but with Bolick you can really trust him to make that kind of shot as I have seen him do it many times in past games. The good news here is NLEX backers are happy because the handicap was covered, I just hope they were not greedy because if they took the moneyline then they lost. Anyway if they lost they should not stop there, we have the second game live now Meralco vs Ginebra, but sadly Brownlee isnt here yet.

And the game is over, if Meralco was really the underdog in that game then bettors who took them were lucky enough to get a nice return since Meralco won by 9 points. The ML bet hit. And yeah, no Brownlee is really a problem. I thought I also read in this thread that Brownlee was already coming back. ( https://www.sofascore.com/basketball/philippines)

Robert Bolick was very deadly in the -point area, no lead is safe when Bolick still around, luckily for Converge Juan Gomez De Liano hit that 4 pointer on his own and got the ball position after that because of Bolick's foul on Calvin Abueva, that was the story of the game. No import but NLEX showed guts and even have the lead after 3 quarters, that is how the system of coach Jimmy Alapag works now, not just relying on a single player to do the job.

Looks like we have to wait for more than a month to see action in the PBA once again as the league is taking a break to give way national commitments Gilas Pilipinas in the FIBA qualifying tournament and the Asian games which will be held this coming September 19 to October 4.
