I think SMB is going to replace their current import.

This news just came out,
https://pba.ph/news/beermen-tap-scott-to-replace-stone
Quote
According to a team insider, Devon Scott has been tapped by the Beermen to replace Diamond Stone heading to a crucial stretch in their mid-season campaign.

My opinion here is, I think it's the right decision as Diamond Stone was inefficient on their game against the Dragon, they need an import who could carry the team, not the import that would be carried by the locals.  Smiley

They already made the right adjustment, what do you think would happen if they'll ever face Ginebra again? would you still bet on Ginebra to win? SMB is missing Fajardo, so they can make an excuse for their big loss. I know the Dragons are for real, but so far they only beat a good team that is undermanned.

If i were to answer this question then it depends on what will be the spread/handicap because Ginebra has beaten them then i think the bookies will not put a wide margin for the Dragons I supposed then it would be good to bet for the Dragons because like you said they already adjusted and for sure Justin Brownlee is a marked guy for the Dragons.

Will they meet again? Sorry for asking but I don't know if the guest team is qualified to be the champion at this conference.

The game between Magnolia and Northport is already over, there's still 5 minutes left but a 20 points lead by Magnolia is already big enough, Northport cannot make a big run already to win. I'm disappointed with this team, they have a good start IIRC but now they lose consecutive games already with huge margins.

previous game was against TNT, 117-93 loss.

The teamwork of Magnolia is something that gives them the advantage by looking with their stats today you can define how good they move the ball, With the import that really contributing so well Magnolia is again one of the top contender just hoping that they will not choke again and lose games in the next round, too early to tell if they will be able to move forward and possible to have another title match series.


That's their strength, they trust each other that's why they formed a good bond or chemistry. Their import is also very efficient, maybe not as good as Brownlee, but he was able to blend well with the locals, that's why they are very successful now.

Some people are saying that Magnolia are only good at the start, hopefully Magnolia will not fail us this time.

per standing, they are the only team left without a defeat, 5-0 now.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Beermen, but yeah, without JMF they will have a hard time winning games. I thought that it's going to be close but they were blown away by the Bay Area Dragons.

Playing against the Bay Area Dragons, the lineup should be complete and healthy. It's hard to deal with this guest team especially if the main guy of their opposing team is not present. It's unfortunate that we didn't see JuneMar Fajardo playing against the Dragons to see if SMB can also keep up with this team.

Not just against Bay Area Dragons but SMB will have a hard time dealing with other teams too if there's no JMF presence on their roster.

Without JMF, you cannot expect SMB to be a champion, when JMF was injured in the past and missed a few seasons, SMB did not reach the finals because they cannot do it without their MVP, good thing now that Fajardo will not miss the whole conference, he will be back so their chance is still here.
JunmarFajardo has a big role in his team also he is the number 1 carrier for SMB so without a doubt he will be the one can defend in his team from other team's and for their fight against Bay area dragon as we can saw that SMB struggle a lot which no veteran big man inside while Bay Area Dragons has 7 foot 5 which they can't stop because fajardo is not in the court. Like what you said mate SMB can not take the championship without fajardo.

The import of SMB has been tested today, and it's only proves that he can't carry the team. I'm also a SMB fan but I got disappointed with how the team played today, not sure but I don't see any aggressions to anyone for any possible rally to come back instead they just let the lead to balloon..

There's an attempt to make a rally but the Bay Area Dragons are just successful in maintaining their lead.

The Dragons have a strong message after winning the game against SMB about their 1st defeat since playing in the country, "We learned from that loss which was nice to see and we got better against a quality team,” and that fuels their eagerness to beat another top team in the league which is San Miguel Beermen.



Maybe that kind of attempt is not enough to change the tempo of the game but I agree with you, Bay Area really did well in controlling the game and not to allow SMB to spark up and see a good opening to rally back. The visiting team accepted the challenge after that loss from Ginebra, Nicholson gave them a reason to keep him since after that loss we discuss here if they needed to bring Powell back and the guy simply prove that he's also a caliber former NBA player who are capable in taking the challenges.

However, there should be no "what if" if Fajardo is there for the SMB.


Well said! "there's no what if", if Fajardo is playing as a fan I know how big the difference if Junemar is in the rotation as we all know that he's the main Alpha of this team, with him there's a good inside post-up that SMB can go either he go hard or just create enough space and make a jump shot.

SMB's import already made 11 points, that's very low compared to the import of Bay Area Dragons who dropped 39 big points in this game. We can really tell how important Fajardo is inside because he was present and healthy, he could certainly help his team to give a very competitive match.

Better luck next time "KA BEERMEN", make the right bounce back like what the Dragons just did.

Yes, better luck next time, and we know that SMB is a good team and they will bounce back for sure, so watch out for their next game and don't miss betting on them. On the mean time, let's enjoy the 2nd game, so far Magnolia is controlling the game with a big lead, I'm afraid we will again see another one sided game tonight, that would make it a boring night overall.

We can trust them on that, they'll be playing against the NLEX next game, I think it's just a light opponent for them, so even without JMF, I believe they'll be able to manage to win. JMF might be missing few games before he will come back, his teammates has to play harder in order to still be in the playoff race.

I'm a bit disappointed with the Beermen, but yeah, without JMF they will have a hard time winning games. I thought that it's going to be close but they were blown away by the Bay Area Dragons.

And it just shows the JMF is still the heart and soul of the team, without him, they will be struggling. The good news is that he might be back before playoff but they still need to win some games without JMF.

The locals are doing great. The ball is well-distributed, and they execute their plays really well. Combine that with a great defense and offense coming from their import, and they are really off to a good start. They are still unbeaten and continuing their hot start. I wonder which team will give them their first loss in this conference. Their next game will be against Ginebra but with the way Ginebra is going right now, I doubt they will beat Magnolia. Maybe down the line when they face San Miguel or the bay area dragons.

  It's sad, although I'm an SMB supporter, it seems that Fajardo contributed more to the SMB team than their import. Isn't that like a slap to the

import of SMB, who seems like he was of no use to his team? But that's the way it is, there are times when the game is salty and it's bad luck,

and when you admit that your game stands like that, it's better to sit and just watch your teammates.

How about the game tomorrow? SMB VS Bay Area Dragons at 4:30 PM.

Sadly there's no facebook like, so we have no choice but to watch it on cable TV.

No betting odds yet as of the moment but tomorrow for sure we will see the odds.
Anyone here have a guess of the possible handicap?

Bay Area Dragons 1.38,   SMB Beermen 2.90

^^ ML odds at the moment but i don't think there will be changes minutes before the game.

Fajardo won't be playing because of the surgery to his throat and per report he gonna missed a few games, so I think if will be a tough hill to climb for the Beermen considering that the Dragons will go out strong and prove to the PBA fans that they are for real.



Though I'm a fan of the Beermen but will put my money on the Dragons on this game because i think that Diamond won't be enough to beat the Dragons.

Good luck mate, but as of the moment SMB is leading the game, well, you have a point, without Fajardo I think SMB would be a problem, so taking the Bay Area Dragons is a good choice. Maybe I'll just observe a bit, will just put a bet once I'm comfortable with the odds and the spread, watching now.

Dragons up by 18 big points after 24 minutes of play with Nicholson doing his usual thing and leading the Dragons with his 25 points after two quarters while Stone has yet to break into the double digit offensive output with 9 points. Like i have said the Beermen will struggle getting the points of their outside shots won't fall, no go to guy if they need a sure two points as Fajardo is not around.

I won't bet anymore in this game as i'm good with my pre-game bet and i think i have a more than 60 percent to win this ticket.

Dragons 1.06 Beermen 7.75, ML odds as of halftime while those who want to bet for SMB with a handicap can choose the option SMB +14.5 @1.75 which for me is very risky considering they don't have their MVP.


While watching Bay Area really dominating the game, Nicholson is unstoppable with the other big players of Dragons it's really difficult for SMB to match the game up, aside from Nicholson's scoring power he is also good in finding the open advantage of his teammate, under 7 minutes now and the lead still huge 94-70 in favor of the visiting team, those who bet for them for the handicap are likely to win the game, luckily I check first how SMB will play and I feel that there's no competition or I mean they are not that aggressive in this game they are just trying to make some point but they are not in the champion caliber in my opinion playing in today's game.

They already made the right adjustment, what do you think would happen if they'll ever face Ginebra again? would you still bet on Ginebra to win? SMB is missing Fajardo, so they can make an excuse for their big loss. I know the Dragons are for real, but so far they only beat a good team that is undermanned.

Better call it a night for those who sided SMB to win or cover the spread. I would say congratulations to you @bisdak40 in advance, I think you will win because there's no way SMB will be able to have a big run in the 2nd half without their best player.
