At one moment the SMB are leading by 7 with only a few minutes left. I went downstairs, and get some food then a few minutes later, I saw the game ended already and the Ginebra won. "I mean WTF!!". Those are the words that I said at that moment, but it is what it is. Congratulations to Ginebra. The absence of Fajardo and the Coach Gallent being inexperienced are the main reasons why they got swept, but better luck next time I guess.

Although they held a commanding lead, the San Miguel Beermen unfortunately panicked and were unable to stop the Ginebra Gin Kings' comeback run. It was a very embarrassing sight to see the Beermen get swept after starting the conference strong. With no other player on the team better than Fajardo, they should have realized this and adjusted their play accordingly. Perhaps in the future, the coaching staff needs to change their strategy as it was ineffective against a team that excels both inside and outside.

There's a reason for the celebration today as Ginebra managed to complete a sweep against SMB with a massive comeback win. The team's never-say-die attitude was evident in this game, and there will be no tomorrow for SMB. Ginebra can now rest early, thanks to the excellent comeback win they just achieved. Congratulations to the bettors who had faith in Ginebra and did not listened into the trap thing as the result confirmed that it's not.

They have made it to the finals once again, and there will be no sister team this time as Ginebra has swept SMB. Coach Gallent must have realized that they cannot be a championship team without JMF, and the organization must have learned that letting go of Arwind Santos and Cabagnot was not a wise decision. In fact, SMB began to struggle after these two starters were traded.

Many would've thought that SMB will win Game 3. I also saw on Stake at one time yesterday where the odds of Ginebra winning the game went to as high as 4.00 which is hilarious, and TBH I didn't expect Ginebra to win on that game as well.

It's looking like it will be Ginebra versus TNT in the finals, as these two teams are a good match-up. We shouldn't forget that Ginebra lost to TNT before the quarter-finals, so there's a chance that TNT could give Ginebra a tough match-up.

When it comes to import versus import, both teams have a good match-up. As for the next game, I have a feeling that TNT will win again. Meralco seemed to have no answer to TNT's outside shooting, and they struggled in game 2 because their outside shooting wasn't sinking. In fact, they didn't even make a single 3-point shot in the first half.

This is how it should be because if Meralco vs Ginebra, you'll see an easy win for Ginebra if ever.
Winning the game 3 for Ginebra gives them time to prepare and have some rest, it will also good if they will have game 5 between TNT and Meralco. Ginebra should stay active though despite of that long rest because TNT is a deadly team as well and there's a high chance for TNT to take the championship. Let's just move on about he performance of SMB, maybe this is not their conference yet.

It appears that the odds for a Ginebra ML win are a trap, as they are struggling to find their rhythm and are not hitting their shots. While SMB is not leading by a huge margin, I predict that this series will be 2-1 after this game. However, I don't believe there will be a Game 5. If SMB wins here, then it's likely that Ginebra will finish the series in four games.

This could be the biggest upset, and I didn’t expect SMB to lose like this, its look like they are not playing their game after losing to Ginebra. Congrats to Ginebra fans their who supported the team from game 1 to game 3, that could be a great profit already. Now going into the finals, TNT seems to be on a good spot as well and made a good challenge for Ginebra this time, this is so exciting to watch.

Gallent needs to work more in how to mixed players chemistries. They've got a huge lead but they did not manage to use the clock and maintain the tempo, not sure what happen but it was almost a win for SMB if they just limit their turnovers, not a fan of running attack and not moving the ball well, unlike with Gin kings the rotations really allow almost all players to hold the ball before attacking.

With SMB, 2-3 pass and after that they will attack or turnover passing the ball will be expected!

Congrats Ginebra fans especially to those who bet during live game after the first half x6 if I remember it right.

Yeah, Gallent is a rookie coach, i mean as a head coach in the PBA so things like this is expected plus his favorite player is out so he could do nothing about the situation. But we also give credit to Ginebra especially coach Tim with his never say die approach and most of all, ended the series right away without giving away a game that might lead to suspicion to the fans that it was a gimme.

I wonder if there was someone here who took that ML odds for Ginebra before the game or when they are down by double digit in the first half.

SMB can still rectify their mistake by making Fajardo the center of their offense, or perhaps by changing their coach. Although they are a decent team, they seem to struggle in finishing games and have even lost games that they were expected to win.

The game isn't as exciting anymore since, just like in Game 1, TNT has been dominating the match, making it difficult for Meralco to score. At halftime, TNT has a 26-point lead.

I believe the most exciting match to watch will be between TNT and Meralco. The series is currently tied at one game apiece, and while the first game was not particularly exciting, Meralco did manage to come back and win the second game against TNT, despite some struggles where they let TNT nearly catch up.

Meralco's strength lies in their defense, which they will need to rely on given that they have only a few outside shooters. On the other hand, they will need to hope that TNT misses their outside shots.

Game 1 between these 2 is a one-sided game, but the Bolts adjusted in Game 2, and because of that, they stole Game 2.

On Stake, the odds for Meralco is 4.20 while on TNT, it's 1.20. I don't know if it's just me, but I see the odds of the Bolts very attractive knowing that they won in Game 2. There's a chance that they might do it again in Game 3. I also skipped the first game, and didn't put any bets on there. I'll watch this TNT-Meralco later when I have free time.

Who will prevail? Meralco's defense, or TNT's Offense. Cheesy

The winner of Game 3 surely will take the momentum on this series.

Those are certainly very attractive odds, but wouldn't you consider thinking twice before taking that bet? It's possible that it's just a big trap, and TNT may dominate once again in this game, just like they did in game 1. I hope I'm wrong because this series has been the best matchup so far, and I would like to see a close game.

I've decided to skip the first game because I believe it may be a trap, but I won't be able to confirm this until the game is over. Currently, the SMB team is offering +5.5 to the Ginebra Kings, which seems unusual to me. Although SMB needs to win to avoid elimination, they may not necessarily be the better team in this matchup. In my opinion, this line seems too obvious.

The only bright spot here for SMB is that they have not been swept yet in a best-of-five series, per the article that I have read so if you will bet for SMB now, there's a chance for us to win but personally, I'm not going to bite that trivia, I mean I will not bet for them tonight.

Ginebra 2.44
SMB 1.54

Might be a trap for the fans of Ginebra but if you really are a Kings fanatic then the above odds is worth to try.

Good idea, let's not assume that either Ginebra or SMB will win just yet, as it's possible that the referees may influence the outcome. Although the odds for Ginebra are attractive, we should keep in mind that they are playing against a sister team, which could potentially manipulate the result.

I don't trust SMB anymore. They seemed to be so frustrated in Game 2 that they wanted to hurt their opponents, especially the SMB import who was getting locked down by Brownlee. Sportsmanship was lost. SMB as a team has struggled big time. Their plays are so predictable by the Gin Kings, so most likely the same will be witnessed in Game 3.

I totally agree, SMB has not adjusted well since they lose Fajardo to injury. I know that they will lose this series but not by blowout, it seems that they are the lower seed than Ginebra seeing how they played.

SMB without winning is very uncharacteristic, they should play better in game 3.
Though rumors are already spreading about Ginebra giving chance to SMB to get a win, I'm sure SMB will go all out and if they win they should deserve it because they are able to beat Ginebra using their own great plays and team strategy. Too early to say that Ginebra will win over SMB, let's just watch and place a bet on a team that you think can win, for game 3 I will go for SMB this time.

I guess we can't remove that fact, if SMB wins the game it will somehow consider as "hulog" hopefully we will not see anything that will relate to that thing, I want to see them playing ball and play as a team, hoping that after TR7 not sure though if it's his real account that posted to pray for him to let him play will push coach Gallant to let him play.

Let's wait for the game and see if they will be able to extend the series and taste a victory against the Gin kings.
