Sad to say that the hope of seeing him having some minutes again didn't materialize as the coach still bench him and not give him a chance to step inside and play, we can't blame anyone as they have the control over the players who they want to take part of their team, even the shout of some fans, nothing change as Kai continue to sit in the bench till the end of the game.
Despite what has happened, we can still appreciate Kai Sotto's effort because he always looks for opportunities. I hope he doesn't lose hope with what has transpired, and maybe there's an agreement or understanding that we are unaware of, causing us to overreact. I firmly believe that Kai has the potential to become a big star in the future. While he is still young, he should continue pursuing his dream, and who knows, the right opportunity may come at the right time.

On that note, if the coach is prioritizing those players who have already secured their spot, we might not see Kai getting good minutes. Maybe he will be playing to give some rest to those priority players, enough to say that he is able to play during the summer league, but the hope of being noticed might be another question. As a fan, I want him to show his talent and develop, but if there's nothing to show up, or I mean there's not enough playing time to showcase that talent, then we might not expect anything great to happen to Kai.

Maybe it's still not for him, or we never know what will happen. We're still hoping and looking for the best outcome for Kai.

I think you may be right there mate, Kai Sotto might not get good playing minutes in the summer league because of that reason. On its second game, the Magic still hasn't fielded Kai Sotto, even a single minute so we might as well not hope that Kai Sotto will make it into the NBA, sad to say that but that would be the truth.

NLEX vs Meralco Bolts
TNT Katropa vs Rain Or Shine


^^ Games for tomorrow, odds not out yet but the first game looks pretty even I think and either team could win the game so will bet for the underdog on that game but on the second game, ROS will be the favorite and I'll go for them.

Best of luck, Kabayan! "abang abang na muna ng game"

The crowd was even cheering and asking the coach to play Kai, but it appears that the decision is final, and they are not giving Kai any minutes. It's frustrating, but that's how the game goes. Better luck next time for Kai. I'm sure that as long as he continues to pursue his dream, one day he'll achieve it, especially considering he is still young.

I'm leaning on the Rain or Shine and Meralco Boltz, I might make it a parlay bet.

For Kai's situation, they are saying that Magic's coach was prioritizing rookies and those who have contracts with them. They have also informed Kai of the no-playing minutes before the game so nothing to worry about, he will got his minutes on the succeeding games.
Everyone will be expecting him to get significant minutes in their next game. As fans, we can't wait too long to see Kai showcase his talents, otherwise, hope in his NBA prospects might diminish. Right now, I have some doubts about his chances in the NBA, but let's see what happens in the next game. I hope the result will leave us feeling satisfied.

Back to the PBA,

Batang Pier ML @2.16 vs Dyip
Magnolia -12.5 @1.86 vs SMB Beermen

^^ That's my bet, i'm backing Magnolia for now as i think that they showed no mercy on their past opponents so against their sister team, i don't that their will be "sagip kapamilya" here as this is just a show of force, no bearing at all.

I like how confident you are with that Magnolia -12.5 bet, because a typical gambler would go for SMB + handicap or even moneyline.
bisdak40  already had one win as NP beat DYIP and now Magnolia is already leading a double digit in the 2nd quarter, so most likely he will end up with 2/2 win. Good luck @bisdak40, I would say you had great picks tonight, I'm also confident that Magnolia will continue their hot streak dominating their opponents.

And cover they did, Magnolia is a team on a mission in this tournament, i could say. Though SMB Beermen beat TNT in their previous game but i could say that they are no match for the current lineup of Magnolia in this PBA-on-tour and also I'm tired on losing by betting against Magnolia because they covered the spread every time, so if you can't beat them might as well backed them.

He secured all the winning bets tonight as Magnolia emerged victorious once again, dominating the game by defeating SMB with a score of 65-94. It was an easy win for Magnolia backers, and the trend just continues. So, never bet against the Magnolia Hotshots, as they are determined to make history in this tournament, hehe.

Regarding Kai Sotto, let's just stay calm because there are still more games to come. If he doesn't get any playing time in the next game, then maybe we shouldn't keep our hopes up for his chance to make it to the NBA. Perhaps the coaches have already seen in practice that he's not NBA caliber.

Oh well, with Kabayang Bisdak picks, yup, he secured another great victory as both bring him decent profits. Magnolia dominated the last game, and maybe they are on a mission to finish this On-tour with clean records. Very possible, as what we are witnessing right now is something that really gives decent benefits for those who are backing Magnolia, a small amount for ML, but handicap was fully covered.

In regards to Kai, I will follow you. Just calm down and see if, in the next game, the coach will give him some minutes to play. If not, maybe you are right that inside the practice they don't see any potential for this young Filipino star.

This is quite off but still could be said related to PBA, while Kai is going to participate in the NBA summer league. There's also Myles Powell of the Bay Area Dragons who's playing in the Houston Rockets.

We can accommodate that kind of discussion here as it's still related to Philippine basketball. Kai Sotto is finally close to becoming an NBA player. With his height, that's already an advantage, so he has to impress the fans, the team, and everyone who can help him secure a contract. I believe the game is tomorrow early; I may not be able to watch it, but I'll be looking for a replay.
Sad to see that while looking for some stream with the Orlando Magic and Detroits NBA summer league, I have been seeing a lot of comments about Kai, "bangko". That's disappointing as he's not given playing time. Looking at NBA's website for the stats of the players, it's said this on his name together with other players.

DNP - Coach's Decision

"Bangko" indeed. Sad to note but I think the coach of the Magic has not seen the right time to let Kai play this is only one game, maybe in the next game they can give Kai some minutes but for us hoping that he will be signed by the Magic should taper our expectation as that possibility is very slim.
We'll see, there are only a few games for this summer league, and hopefully that Kai will get some exposure even just for a very short period of playing time. Look at the FB page of Orlando Magic, too many angry reacts. LOL
That's full of disappointment for most of our kababayans but that shouldn't be done as it's embarrassing especially for our boy Kai.

I've seen a lot of memes regarding the 'expectation vs. reality' situation. Fans were excited and expecting to see Kai play, but he wasn't even given any minutes. However, I read some comments explaining that it's the style of the summer league for the coach to manage minutes well, ensuring everyone gets the right exposure. So let's hope Kai will get more minutes in the succeeding games.

Hoping that Kai sotto will became one of those NBA players not just NBA player but a Star player because as we all know that Kai sotto has have an enough hight to go to the center and the chances of Kai sotto to the NBA was too high since San Antonio Spurs have the new draft player which the hight of 7 foot and 5 which is pretty tall enough to became a center. But the only one can guard him is kai sotto.

Though they have almost the same height, I doubt that Kai Sotto will be able to guard Wemby as the latter is too quick for him (just my opinion).

I disagree with you that Kai Sotto's chance of becoming an NBA player is too high as he was not even drafted and he has not shown anything yet in the summer league in the NBA which warrants the attention of the Magic's front office. Height is not the only reason that you can be an NBA player but you must also have the skills but as a Filipino, I still hope that Kai will make it to the NBA but let us not expect too high as this will be a rough road for him.

If height is the only requirements there's nothing to worry about Kai being drafted, but we all know what's needed when playing to NBA, there are many big guys around players who can play as point guard, just look with Jokic as an example of a 7 footer player, imagine Kai guarding him? I'm also one of those fans who really wanted to see a pure-blooded Pinoy to reach NBA.

But, it will be a tough path for Kai and he will earn all the respect once he signed a secure contract after this summer league.

Hoping to see that happen, not just for the money but for the glory of this young kid's journey.

TNT vs Beermen tonight at 7:30 PM.

There's no spread for this game yet but the moneyline odds for TNT is x20. Looks attractive but knowing their struggle, I think betting on that is just a waste of money. Maybe the spread is around 20+, so I guess I would just stay away from this game, this is very hard to predict.

This game is likely to result in another blowout loss, as SMB is currently leading by 18 points. If the spread was set at -20, it is highly probable that SMB would still be able to cover that spread. So far, TNT has been performing poorly in the PBA on tour exhibition games, consistently finding themselves at a disadvantage in mismatched games.

It was TNT +11.5 @1.93, i managed to take a quick look on the local bookies but doesn't have the time to bet as i was so very busy yesterday that i forgot that i wasn't able to bet on the PBA.

TNT doesn't have any plan to win at least one game in this tournament so we should be very careful if we want to bet on them.

On the first between Converge and Phoenix, the pre-game ML odds was 3.75 for Converge, so juicy but again wasn't able to bet.



San Miguel blow them out and like what you mentioned TNT seems not in the run and they don't have any plan to win on this tour games, just showing that they've got the representative to play the game and nothing else, a wise choice not to play with them as there's nothing you can hope from them.

While with Converge against Phoenix, that ML was sweet to those who manage to risk their money for the team!
