I've just heard of the inside rumor, in the management and team but I don't have details about what actually is happening.
Anyway, the plan that the Converge has got to take him for this season has became a reality. good luck to his PBA career.

It seems like he's still adjusting in his debut, not very effective yet, although it's good to see him playing alongside Arana. Those two bigs could really improve Converge's defense. It's just unfortunate they lost to Northport, who are still undefeated up to now. Both teams are showing great teamwork, making the game exciting.

By the way, there's a game later: SMB vs DYIP (both struggling teams) and Ginebra vs Phoenix.

Good luck to us, and hopefully, we win!

Yeah, that's fine. He's still on adjustment period and we don't know for how long this adjustment will be. Let's see if he'll be able to adjust soon with their match up against the NLEX Road Warriors. Too many teams are struggling with their start but this doesn't mean that they will do for the entire conference.

He needs to be more familiarized with how the system works, I think Stockton needs to workout with him while in practice, so far Stockton really playing well for this team and if he can create good plays both for Arana and Balti tose two bigs will be able to create spaces inside, it's going to be more exciting as they may solidify their squad and with the help of their import they might have a good chance to move to second roundif they'll start performing better during this elemination round,.

bai @bisdak40, we won on Points Handicap - Barangay Ginebra San Miguel (-6.5) vs Phoenix Pulse Fuel Masters, thank you for that hehe

here's another match on December 16th (Tuesday).
I'm looking forward to the match of Phoenix Pulse Fuel Masters vs Northport Batang Pier, Northport is still no loss omg! While Phoenix Pulse Fuel Masters still has no win. I'll find a good handicap points bet here for Phoenix.

Bai! I'm going with you tonight.
I believe Ginebra has a good start claiming this first win and I hope they will build a good momentum. You selected a good odds, with -6.5 handicapped, I'm very positive about it, I hope we will not lose in the handicapped Cheesy

Congratulations, that was an easy win! I honestly thought Phoenix would give Ginebra some trouble since they played really well in the first half. But wow, they completely collapsed in the second half, they just couldn’t make their shots anymore.

And just a quick correction: this is actually Ginebra’s second win.

Yeah, he needs some adjustments though it's his first game and for sure he's not familiar yet with his teammates even they've practice together but in a real situation there's adjustments that he needs to take care, though like what you mentioned he's going to be a good help inside as Balti is a known big guy who can move inside and protect those boards, a 2-way player who can contribute just need that extra time to figure things out and find his space to help the entire team, let see on his second game if what adjustment him and the coaches will do to make him more effective and for him get his composure and confidence.

The Bolts were playing without an import, that's the biggest factor why the lost that game and i didn't see that coming as i bet for the Meralco Bolts pre-game with -4.5 handicap, turned out to be a trap hehe, part of the game, better luck next time.

My bet for tonight:
Ginebra - 6.5 @1.90 - the Kings are well rested team so i think they will handle Phoenix another lose.

I noticed that too, although I didn’t watch the entire game. Meralco is probably not happy with their import, so they might be looking for a new one.

Anyway, I think Blackwater is good when they’re healthy. One of their locals was the best player in that game, and King continues to be a consistent import. Next time, I’ll bet on that team for sure.. especially if they’re the underdogs.

This line flip nearing the game time, and as I suspected, there's something happening inside and that Blackwater were able to take the win in a domiant 4th quarter. if only Blackwater just won in a range of 6-10, I would have cash out with a good multiplier.

This isn't a surprising news but everyone has expected it already since last year that the Converge Fiberxers are going to sign Baltazar on their line up. He's signed today and he's going to have his debut game soon.
(https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/sports/basketball/929674/top-pick-justine-baltazar-set-for-pba-debut-signs-with-converge/story/)

Finally, after completing his service for the Pampanga lanterns he's now ready to make his debut let see if what improvements will be for Converge now, I like to see him working alongside with Arana they can be a good duo protecting inside and getting those rebounds, in addition to that, knowing Balthazar's capabilities to score surely he'll be a big help for the team, just waiting for any update regarding to that rumor inside issue hope it won't affect the team and no player movement that will take place..

There are news article saying that Balti will make his debut today against NorthPort so let us see if he is worth the hyper as we all know that the PBA is very different than that of the MPBL, obviously more big men in the PBA that could match Balti in the middle but still i'm betting for Converge to win tonight and cover the spread.

My bet: Converge -3.5 @1.80

BTW, what's the rumor that you are talking about kabayan?

Just read from a social post stating that SMC group is interested to get Stockton not sure if that will happen just waiting for more snow badua like news hahaha, but moving forward kabayan, Balti may adds up both offense and defense as he's a big man with capabilties to score against another big man, more on how the coach and his teammates will play him on his debut.

Good luck Kabayan! I like your pick just out of extra coin to bet hahaha..

Young big man already in the PBA.. I like what Converge is doing. They’re improving their lineup significantly. After signing Heading, they now have another Gilas player, making this team a legitimate contender. They’re still young, but with this lineup, they have a great shot at becoming a championship team in the future. Cabagnot is still with the team, right? He’ll be an excellent mentor for these young players.

BTW, we have games today.

Batang Pier +1.5 vs Converge
Blackwater +4.5 vs Bolts.

Did anyone here bet on Ginebra to win? They beat NLEX and even covered the spread. I got lucky with a live bet, grabbing the ML odds at 2.38.

They’re moving the ball well and finding ways to score easily, but I noticed a weakness in their rebounding. When Japeth sits down, they really struggle with rebounds, and the paint becomes wide open for attacks.

Nothing much has changed for the team, except they now have Troy Rosario with them. However, they still lack a dominant big man on defense to step up when Japeth needs rest. however, starting with a win is always a good sign, especially against a team that managed to beat SMB. I don’t know, but I feel like we might see some surprise teams this season. Teams like ROS and Northport are playing well, and we can’t underestimate the visiting team either, the Eastern.

Good luck kabayan with how SMB performing right now it's a tough call betting for them especially with a handicap, though there's no doubt they are still superior in terms of stats but we all know how this young ROS playing the game, they can upset whoever their opponents once those young guns starts to fuel up the intensity of the game increase.

Though there's no guarantee or there's no sure thing here both squad can spark up and dominate the game, let's see if who's going to takeover and win.. Good luck again Kabayan!

And i lost my bet there kabayan. Rain or Sine outgunned the Beermen in the 2nd half with the import of SMB not playing well. I thought i got a good odds there with low handicap but it turned out to be a trap. Part of the game, no regret but definitely i will be staying away from betting on the Beermen for now.

It's really difficult to predict right now kabayan, especially if you are really positive about winning your time, but the last part, it's the opposite.
I'm glad I didn't bet on TNT Tropang Giga yesterday. I'll wait for their first win first before I will bet on them, it's really unpredictable.

Like you, I also lost my bet, and I really thought that they would win it since it's a close game, but not until we reached the 4th quarter, and they got outscored 37-21. Anyway, that's part of the game. Sometimes unexpected things happen and TBH, it's good to see an independent team like ROS battling toe-to-toe against teams like SMB and other big teams. They have a good coach, and I also hope that this roster of them will be intact and will develop furthermore so that they can compete with SMC and MVP teams.

I think ROS has become a serious threat to other teams now. With Coach Yeng back, he’s clearly made the team better. Their guards are very quick, love to run, and don’t hesitate to take shots. On top of that, they have a solid import who fits perfectly into their system.

As for SMB, it’s just not their time. They’ve lost some key crunch-time players, and maybe if they had kept Romeo, they’d have better offensive options. Also, CJ’s performance seems to be declining, I don't know, maybe it might be a coaching issue. Just my observation.

Yeah, I noticed them last season though they've felt short on that campaign but interest from the fans is already with them, now that they continue playing as one and with the import who manages to play accordingly, he really helping those young guns to feel that confidence knowing that a big guy is their to help and willing to do everything to win.

In terms of success, let’s see how far they can go this conference, But i have to be honest, I don’t see them as a championship team just yet, so they might struggle in the playoffs due to a lack of experience. However, I’m not ruling out the possibility of them making it to the finals.

Quote

In terms of SMB, I'm bias as I love seeing TR7 playing but with how coach Gallent misuse him and now struggling to build that good chemistries and performances from each players that he have, might be best for the main SMC franchise to consider replacing him either bring back coach Leo or find a new one who got something new to offer for the betterment of this franchise.

yeah, I see the same and I think I'm also bias. how can they not utilize Romeo, he is a true champ, had won a finals MVP and shine during international competition. I now miss coach Leo.

----------------
Anyway, on the games today, the first game was concluded and TNT finally snap their losing streak in a thrilling passion. They beat Magnolia by 3 points only.
