What makes me curious is how in the hell SMB choose to complain rather than fouling Ginebra in their final possession. If you watched the whole game, you saw that the lead is only 1 and Ginebra got a steal. In a normal game, the opponent will foul it right? Why didn't they foul them and just choose to let the time runs out and complain?
And yet SMB Chris Ross blames that 1 play in question that's why they lose.
He even didn't think about what in world they gave up that 19-point lead that leads to a crucial moment.
For the situation you have mentioned, it's clear that Choke Leo Austria was in trouble too in thinking of a good strategy.
I guess even the greatest coaches are having a time where they are choking at the crucial moments of the game. Well, they are humans in the end.
I wonder what SMB did after the game. Did they just comfort themselves but deep inside they are shocked at the quick turn of events. Did they ended up blaming each other for what happened (which is unlikely because I believe they're professionals). Did they just moved on with it and will focused on their next game. Anyway, I expect them to bounce back after this defeat.

Maybe because of the intensity of the game, all SMB players become clueless about what they will do. They are all put in a sort of genjutsu lol. Ginebra is really best at crucial games that's why they don't even pressure on what to do unlike SMB that maybe still shock to be put on that deadly play.
If only they able to take care their lead, SMB won't end up dealing on that pressure.
SMB players and also the coaches are clueless with what is happening. Maybe let's include the intensity of the crowd who mostly are Ginebra Fans. You can just feel it even though you are watching on livestream. What if you're in that situation. It's like in NBA where you are playing in the opponent's home team in an NBA Finals. The crowd isn't in your favor and that affects the opposing team.
Ginebra is known for their big comebacks, and they did it again against their 2 sister teams. Well, I don't know if somebody is observing it, but Ginebra is a team that dominates when there is an import and SMB on the other hand, is the team that is dominating in an All-Filipino Cup. Only my observation though.
