Hope that both teams will show 100% energy tomorrow and we should expect a close game throughout Game 3.

They will because this is game 3 and it's a very important game for them.

The line now is already available at stake.

Ginebra is still a slight favorite with 2.04 ML and +2.5 on the spread.

No momentum was being built because of this long break. Both teams just do the usual celebrations they are into every year, out of practice and any basketball-related activities. Since the series is 1-1, it's like they will face off in Game 3 just like they faced in Game 1 where the standing is 0-0.

Maybe today is the day they will resume their practice.

Hope that both teams will show 100% energy tomorrow and we should expect a close game throughout Game 3.

Too many expressions were being shared here hehe. Just wait for the Game 3 results.

I don't want this too much speculation that Ginebra is nothing now just because they lose in Game 1. The Dragons are tough, what do others think of this team? Bettor to watch what would be their strategy now that the Dragons were able to expose their weakness.

In Game 2, only Brownlee established good scoring. If they still lose the next game despite locals also having good numbers, then that's what I call a problem.

Anyway, let's not talk about that yet, we still have game 3, let's see who will win and let's see if the series will be over in game 4.

Whoever wins game 3 will have a good feel for the rest of the playoffs. Imagine, getting a 2-1 lead and your team needs to be 2-3 behind to feel you are in trouble.  That's a luxury, and the kind of aggressiveness and confidence will be high for the winner, so game 3 is really important.

I don't think that way. Getting a 2-1 lead is sweet but feeling good for the rest playoffs? I doubt. This is a final series and not unless you are up by 2 games, that would I call a good feeling. If Dragons let's say take the 2-1 lead in Game 3, it's not making sense for them to feel good and relax for the rest of the Finals. If they will still take Game 4 and put Ginebra in a 3-1 lead, that is the stage where they can feel relaxed but make sure no upset will happened as even downed by 3 games, the finals will just end if a team established 4 winning games.

The Dragons might be the strongest team in the PBA right now but not that tough team to beat. Don't want to be overhyped on that team.

Having a 2-1 lead and continue to being aggressive in winning game 4 and if possible to win game 5, after that everything will be accomplished, I remember that famous quote from Kobe's school teacher and that applies not just for the player individually but more on the entire team, relaxing in the end is better when you already achieved your goals, than relaxing in the middle will only have a better chance of a different outcome.

It's not bad to feel great when you are on top, but remember, it is a series and you can only feel that fulfilment once you already win the title.

Moving back to the series, both teams are great and both are competing with the level that fans are expecting from. We will see more adjustments and hassle plays, expect Gin kings to perform the usual where exciting the fans are their favorite spice.

Gins got huge fan base on PBA so its expected that they got a lot of support from the fans also we can add up that many PBA fans want them to win since its like Philippines against foreign country. If they can beat up the Bay Area Dragons this is a huge pride for their organization since beating them is so difficult knowing how talented and tall their rooster are. They really need to avoid injuries since if one of their stars got that maybe this will lower down their chance to win the championship.

There are only a few games left in the conference. 5 games the most. They are all healthy right now and it needs extremely bad luck for Gin Kings to get one of their core players hurt at this point of the conference. But still, you are right, they need to stay healthy and focus on the games left. They already beat the Bay Area Dragons twice; they just need to beat them 3 more times to win the championship. It is a tall task, but it is doable with the help of the inspiration the fans give to them during the game.

Beating them in the series, yes. But even if they lose as long as this series will be competitive and will reach game 7, I think they will be happy already knowing they are up against a very good team. Some of us think that Ginebra will win all the way after this big 1st game win, but seem like things has already change now.

The Bay Area Dragons are the favorite since game 1 but we Filipinos love underdogs. We root for them almost all the time. And we support our own. It may change for some, but I think the general consensus is still for Ginebra to take home the championship.

Can't blame other people to think that ginebra will struggle with their current opponent since look at what Dragons do on the whole series they really put some good numbers to dominate their opponents. And many pba fans really see that one as basis to them that they are underdog on this match up. But I want the Ginebra to win since this will be a huge for filipino fans if they see Ginebra surpass a big challenge and win a championship this season.
Yeah, they're the underdog for this finals but they've managed to get the first win and now, they're in a tie. The next game on Wednesday will give the advantage to whoever will win it. This is what I most like in a PBA final, everyone is taking care of themselves and despite injuries can't be gone in the entire series and games, still, most of them are doing their best to show the best that they can and at the same time, they're avoiding to be injured. Money's on the line, and we all want to see this 2-1 being led by Gins.

As what I observe for past championship championship series is always stretch for game 6 or 7 maybe because the organization always after for money. That's why I'm not surprised if that one will happen and I'm curious if Ginebra can beat the Dragons on finals since this can bring pride to the local league. Fans are already happy to see Ginebra win on game one so hopefully they are consistent with that and to get more wins against the Dragons to take advantage with them.

Yes, we're on our territory and all of us want to see them beat the Dragons. They are no doubt a strong guest team and if ever they win as the champs, this is part of the history already.
But, aside from that, we just wish the Gins to win against them so that we're not just being beaten up by a guest team. We just don't want to see it happen but if that does happens, then it's for the teams to upgrade and realize that there's more in their roster composition and there's a need for them to step up their game play.
Ginebra have to do everything to make Pinoy very proud, this could be a big challenge for them but winning the championship are possible, they just have to be more consistent on the remaining game because Bay Area is not turning back as well as they are serious on taking their first title in PBA. Both teams are doing great so far, the fans are more excited to see them playing and of course Ginebra is the favorite. I think if Ginebra wins the championship other team should prepare more because Ginebra proves again to be the best team to beat.
They know that they're not just fighting for this championship but also fighting for pride. That's why they're going to do their best in the upcoming games.
They don't want to be dominated by a guest team that they've been conquering for so many years. But just as I've said, if ever Dragons will become the champs on this one, they should step up and upgrade their game plays and the same goes to the trading style of other teams which has just become a farm team.

This is not just an ordinary league, you are right, they need to make the Filipinos proud as that would also raise the brand of basketball in the Philippines. Bay Area is such a talented team, but we have been here before when Gilas played in the international league, and Ginebra IMO have the weapon to win as most of the starters are all stars in the PBA.

This is the first time that we have a guest, it can't happen that we will lose in the Finals. Ginebra has a huge number of fans, imagine what will happen if they will lose this series. It's just like we are supping the Gilas Pilipinas against China is this series, so they really need to win. Also, we cannot eliminate the possibility that the referees will also do some dirty tactics to favor the ginebra, it's not new in this business.
Bay Area is not turning back though and they are not afraid, so the challenge here is really on the side of Ginebra.
There might be pressure from the fans but I hope Ginebra will start to compose themselves again and start to play well especially in game 3. Ginebra have to win on this finals to prove their supremacy in PBA but then again, there's no guarantee for this. This is the bad side of PBA, there is too much politics and yes even referees are not fair at all, so hopefully they will stay on the fair side even if Bay Area is on the lead.
The challenge is on both teams because with this 1-1 record, it proved that both teams are capable of winning. The momentum now is on Bay Area, so we think that Ginebra is in trouble, but wait until Ginebra will win, views of the fans will also change.
Forget about that momentum, these teams are professional, and they cannot be complacent even if they won the last game. The game 3 winner is not also guaranteed to win, unless they will win again in gam 4 where the series will be 3-1 which most of the time the team leading the 3-1 series will likely win the series.

Anyway, let's not talk about that yet, we still have game 3, let's see who will win and let's see if the series will be over in game 4.

The momentum is on the side of Bay Area Dragon but since it was a long break before the next game, I think the momentum is nullified. There is no real momentum yet. And Ginebra is not yet in trouble. It is a tied series, so anyone can still win. As for the fans, we all know who most of them are rooting for.

Everyone who are on the arena is probably rooting for Ginebra, if there are some who are not, they will just be silent as they don't want to be in trouble with the Ginebra fans. However, since Bay Area had proven it already, even without the fans, for sure they can still win again.

If only the betting odds are out already, I would probably put my bet already.

Not aware that no game for today because of busy activity lol.

Long rest for both teams and one thing is for sure, this long rest day will give them more time to become fully prepared next game.

I like to see these teams clashing in a close game. Expecting to see that next game.

Yup, long rest will give both teams a good time to prepare, I also expecting a close match and not that comfortable lead when it's already in the final quarter, but instead, it's good to see both teams to have a good counter from time to time, adjustment over adjustment and keep the score close up to the last minute of the game.

Yup, there's plenty of time, we can wait for the betting odds in game 3, it should be a close one since the series is now tied. Bot teams are enjoying their vacation, but maybe they will start training tomorrow to prepare for game 3, we should not think that Bay Area will easily win, we will not see the same scenario in game 2.

Gin kings will adjust to how to counter that good run coming from the Bay Area. They need to protect the home crowd and take appropriate action with how Bay Area is playing now. I will expect not just Brownlee but all the players of Ginebra to bring again the best in them the same way they play in game one.
