Teamwork is a must in the world of basketball and Magnolia have that and they used that as a weapon to claim the victory. We all know that Paul lee is very dangerous in terms of shooting outside and in paint area so the team find him. But Magnolia use that as a advantage they work as one every player contributed well scored well and in terms of defense they got gallon as a defender on the outside.
They had already formed a bond that would make them a very defensive team. look at the total score in their game today, they only limited the Blackwater to 66 points in the whole quarter, so you can really tell how effective their defense is, and they are not easily getting tired due to everyone being given minutes to play.
That's the advantage of a team if many players will be given time to play and their star players did not feel tired because their backups or let's say support will give their best also and have a good points and a good defense unlike another team that only their star players can make some points and that's the reason why they have a small percent of winning every game.
This Philippine cup is a little bit challenging for the team Magnolia and if they can win in the quarter finals then for sure there's a chance that Magnolia and San Miguel beer men will face in semi or in finals and also we all know that fajardo and his team is very tough opponent there are a lot of player in smb who can make shot in outer or in the paint. But I magnolia can beat them by a good teamwork they have singalong any faffy in center and lee, baroca, jalalon and abueva in the outer and the rest of team they can score.
That's why I'm backing them to win in this conference, though all Filipino cup are usually dominated by SMB and Fajardo is obviously back, but I like the teamwork of Magnolia. Abueva was added and some role players, so they are getting better and better.
I also hoped that SMB's dominance in All-Filipino Cup will be stopped at the Finals at this conference. But hard to think that way since JuneMar Fajardo is playing again like he was in his prime. In an instant just after the long recovery of his injury, he is putting close to an average of 20PPG and 10RBG which is a threat to any team in the All-Filipino lineup.
I don't see any players that can stop Fajardo at 1-on-1 that's why teams need to form a plan on how to beat these SMB guys without focusing too much on limiting Fajardo's offense and defense. There are other SMB calibers that need to focus on
That's right, Ginebra was able to give Fajardo a problem before because Greg was still playing with them, now he is gone, it will only be Japeth and C Stand that will have to stop Fajardo which I don't think they can. During their dominance, they have lots of experience players, so let's see with the younger ones if they can still repeat their past success.
As expected, SMC and MVP teams are again in the playoffs and the 2 independent teams who managed to get in the playoffs are Converge who got their first playoff appearance in their debut season and Blackwater Bossing who are having a better season after having a 29 game losing streak.
Since SMC and MVP take the top 4th spot, it's fortunate for them that their teams will not meet early in the quarterfinals. I hope for the other way around to make these teams perform the Sagip Kapamilya moment lol. I trust those below-tier teams will do their best to upset these teams owned by the giants.
I feel a waste of series that Ginebra and Meralco will face each other early.
Unusual to see other teams aside from SMC and MVP competing in the Finals. Who knows this conference, we can see a change although, for me, the chance is just below my expectations. Again, who knows.

They are not the favorite to win the champion, it's only between SMB and BGSM, so you'll get more winnings by betting on Magnolia in every series. I wish we have a series betting here, it was proposed before but it never happened.
Playoffs are different, so let's see what they can give during the playoffs. I also trust Magnolia but SMB and Ginebra are more experienced teams, they have the size and they can dominate the paint. Though Magnolia had Laput who is a 6-foot-10 guy he is not proven yet in tougher games.

I understand that and we know the power of SMB, they can make it yes even with a small contract, they will bomb it with many perks that is away from the contract, legally, the contract may seem small and negotiations will take place, but Yes I agree we might be better to wait for Wright as he also have other options aside from playing inside PBA.
As far as my wild analysis is concerned, Matthew Wright's talent will not use much on Ginebra. They are already a complete team.
Tim Cone is the type of coach that doesn't make things mixed up. If he thinks that the current players on the floor are already good, he won't hesitate to bench a player even if that's a good player to start with.
Wright will also have limited minutes of playing time on Ginebra and I'm sure he already knows it.
I'm sure Wright won't sign to Ginebra but maybe on their sister teams like Magnolia. And maybe he is just waiting for the right moment that he will now sign to play overseas as imports are having good playing time there plus a wonderful big contract.
Not fair if Wright will go to Gin kings, the current squad is already composed of talented individuals. Though the possibilities are not by far as Gin kings can offer him a decent amount of contract plus the chance of playing with his favorite team, I can say that if ever that the trade will materialize it will add additional firepower, especially from the outside territory
It's not that Wright will be added to the Ginebra lineup that easily. There's a salary cap on each team and knowing the players in Ginebra, almost the entire key players have a decent contract with the team.
Wright's value is not a joke as he is the ace player of Phoenix FuelMasters. I'm sure FuelMaster will try to keep him.
But he is also getting offers from overseas. His contract will expire next month. He is currently enjoying his vacation. Let's wait next month.

Outside league also has an enticing offer with a caliber Wright have, we know he's more valuable than those who already signed their
contracts and already playing outside the country.
I would agree with that, he has the height and the athleticism but the fact that he played in the PBA, I think he just wants to settle in the PBA but to the best team which definitely not the Phoenix Fuel Masters. I think Ginebra had enough superstars already, but if Wright will choose that team, then there's nothing we can do as definitely Ginebra can afford to pay him.

The stage is set for the PBA All-Filipino Cup Playoffs.
As expected, SMC and MVP teams are again in the playoffs and the 2 independent teams who managed to get in the playoffs are Converge who got their first playoff appearance in their debut season and Blackwater Bossing who are having a better season after having a 29 game losing streak.
Which are your bets in the Quarterfinals Round? What are your predictions? These are mine
.
SMB Vs. Blackwater - These 2 teams played well when they faced with SMB won by only 2 points. I think that SMB will get this one and will eliminate Blackwater in only 1 game.
Ginebra Vs. Meralco - PBA Finals? A best of 3 series and when they faced, the Bolts won by 17 points. Even though the Bolts won on that match, I think the Ginebra will win on this one in 3 games.
Magnolia Vs. NLEX - I will pick Magnolia with this one in 2 games. I don't think that the NLEX can beat them.
TNT Vs. Converge - A big congratulations for Converge for getting into playoffs in their debut season but TNT will win this one in only 1 game I believe.

That will make the Ginebra unbeatable, I think that is not fair for the superstars to go to one team, that will make the other team suffer as they have no chance of winning the championship. This league is obviously the league of MVP and Cojuangco, that's why sometimes it's boring to watch.

Wright as we know him, a deadly outside shooter with a good impact offensively, bringing more treat if he plays alongside with Thompson, Pringle,CStand and Aguilar.

Paul Lee exploded here with 22 points, glad to see him back with his usual number.
He needed that for the coming playoffs, Paul being healthy is very dangerous, but hopefully, the teamwork is still present and they will not only rely on Paul Lee. I still love the numbers on their previous game where many of them scored a double-digit, that's real teamwork in a team.
Congratulations to the winners, all betting favorites covered the spread.

We have Phoniex vs Ginebra today.
I believe Wright is not available, so do you think that Phoenix will have a chance of winning this game, or at least cover the handicap?
This game will start soon, so guys, good luck!
I didn't watch the actual game, but based on the highlights, the offense was very fluid. Nice rotation and combination by coach Tim, I hope his 2nd unit always plays like that. Good to see that all the Ginebra players have improved. I hear that Wright is a free agent so and he may likely go to Ginebra because that's his favorite team. One more thing to mention is that the PBA should adopt the NBA court size especially the 3pt line.I believe Wright is not available, so do you think that Phoenix will have a chance of winning this game, or at least cover the handicap?

Slow start for the Mags but coming second half the tight defense really gives them that luxury to overpower the Bossing, and yes, Paul Lee is back and he got a good stats today but like you, I also wanted to see the team to play together and not to rely much from how Lee will going to play. They need to keep the system works and make sure that they will distribute the ball and create spaces for each other.
Playoff is another journey to all the team and we will expect more interesting and exciting games between the teams that will move forward to this next round.
