Did anyone bet on the ROS vs Phoenix game?
ROS is coming off a disappointing loss against SMB, while Phoenix is still looking for their first win in this conference. So far, the game is close, so I think Phoenix has a chance here. The handicap was big at first, with an opening line of +10.5, but the last time I checked, it was down to +7.5. So, if anyone bet on the +10.5 line, they’re lucky. The moneyline might be a good option too, haha.
For those following the game, ROS is currently leading by 8 points, but it’s still early.
I did, but not the full game. Phoenix played well from the 1st to the 3rd quarter, but by the 4th quarter, they seemed to run out of energy, and the game got out of hand. The 4th quarter score was 22-35, and that high spread turned out to be a trap. Even with +10.5, it still lost since ROS won by 15 points. The final score was 122-107.
It’s really unlucky, haha.. I thought Phoenix was going to win, but it seems they had no chance. Looks like this conference will end with them still winless. It’s embarrassing for a team that performed well in the eliminations and semi-finals before, even giving Magnolia a good fight. I haven’t followed them closely, but could their problem be the import? It seems like their good ball movement disappeared. Why don’t they change their import, or have they already made a switch?
In the 2nd game, Ginebra vs Blackwater, it was a good match. Blackwater was on a winning streak, but they were caught off guard in the first quarter by Ginebra’s strategy, with a 36-22 score. Blackwater lost, ending their win streak. I didn’t finish this game either, but I saw Thompson’s stats, and it looked like he almost had a triple-double. Many probably won in this game because Ginebra’s opening line was only -3.5.
I also thought it was a trap, but considering Ginebra really needed to win after losing two games, it made sense. Well, it seems Brownlee is still different. For me, he’s still the best import.
