I think coach Chot should also not be blamed here but the committee that appointed him to be the coach.
He would always say it's a learning experience, LOL, we have enough of that already, we want results and we didn't get that under him.
Oh, he can always decline the offer. He should let other coaches take the reign and have a shot in directing the Gilas squad. He already achieved a lot in 2013 when he led Gilas to qualify for FIBA world cup and in 2014 when they showed good basketball in FIBA World. But his game style does not work now, so it is better to give other coaches a chance.
Back to the PBA, we have a very interesting game today as Converge fight for dear life against Blackwater. If they win today their hope of advancing to the next stage is still alive and the odds for this game favor Converge so I will be taking this one because Blackwater is not a team that can be relied upon in this kind of situation, just my thought.
Converge -1.5 @1.84...
It's a must-win for both teams, not sure who will win but you are right, Converge is more reliable because they have more experience than Blackwater in tough situations like an elimination game.
Converge won by 2 points, 92-90. Blackwater had the chance to take it to overtime but they missed an open shot by the rim in the last seconds. It was a good play, but the shot did not go in.
It will be Magnolia vs Rain or Shine next game. Magnolia is favored to win but ROS needed the win more. Since converge won their game, ROS also need this win to go to the next round.
I will go with ROS 8.5 @1.87
