Live match now between Magnolia Hotshots vs Meralco Bolts, do you think they would beat the lead team Magnolia Hotshots? I am not really familiar with the current players of the PBA but right now it is the only available live match in Stake.com I placed bet with the Magnolia based from the previous matches and their current standing which is 9-2

Meralco is on decent spot in standing also they have high caliber players so we can say that they have good chances to defeat Magnolia in this game. But we can really say that its a tough match for them as they are playing with the number 1 seed and as we know the confidence level is so high and that might give them a win then continue to extend their winning record.

Looking at the game now looks like we are going to see a do-or-die game between these two teams.

1st half is over and Magnolia has a very comfortable lead, 42-30 is the current score, it's a low-scoring game so you can tell how Magnolia played their defense in this game as they don't want to go home.

Well, he could really throw a 3 point shot there but still go for a different shot maybe he’s expecting that someone will foul him so he can go to the free throw line and take the lead unfortunately the result is not in favor to him.

The way we see that action of him driving to the hoop, it seems he is not attempting to get a foul. He is avoiding the defense throughout his charge court-to-court.

NLEX is also not dumb to take a foul as they are leading by 3. The moment they saw LA crossing the 3-point line, they also got confused. Look there's no help defense from NLEX when Tenorio drives since that's their advantage as the clock is now ticking to an end.

Tenorio made it clear it was his mistake but it won't take away the speculations of others that it was intentional. The estimated crowd on that night is around 13,000 people and the PBA even congratulate it on their social media account where Ginebra's page make a meme that it was them as the main reason why the crowd hits that number. 13,000 x **** is a great revenue for the league.

He is the Filipino version of JR Smith when he held the ball during the Finals against the Warriors where they got swept. Cheesy

that's funny! Lol but the difference is smith didn't look at the timer and LA mistake is he didn't look at the score board and just make a decision.. Actually there's a lot of Filipino fans that have doubts on LA because some of their losses because of him..i  dont know if its true. by the way he already admitted his mistake, let see on the game 4.
What's done is done and he has already admitted the mistake and that's enough already. Let's see later if NLEX will still snatch a win or Ginebra has already learned the lesson and it's gotta be the final game for this semis for this series.
Seriously guys, what do you want to happen? Extend it up to game 5 or just end it on game 4? I think what everyone is expecting is the ending of this series on game 4 and that's what the majority is wanting to happen since it's Ginebra.

Of course, that will not happen anymore in game 4 because it's too obvious if he will make it again. Ginebra will surely end the series in game 4, they just throw the game 3 so the NLEX will not be swept.  Brownlee will carry the team as he was still unstoppable, so expect him making like at least 30 points.

Speaking of game 4, you can check the betting lines now on your favorite sportsbook.

Ginebra -3.5
Hotshots -4.5

I agree with the line of Ginebra but I don't find the hotshots spread very attractive, I mean, they should be only -2 after losing twice in a row to Meralco.

In that case, then maybe I would just pass the Hotshots spread and will focus on the Ginebra. NLEX were just lucky to win one game, and I believe that they cannot be lucky twice in a row. That -3.5 should be covered, and also thinking of betting the under 191.5.

What happened to LA is more of a mental lapse IMO. Although I understand the conspiracy theory, I don't think they would do it in a semi-finals and I doubt they would instruct the players to drop the game on a nationally televised game. If ever there was a plan to extend the series, it's easier (less obvious) to get the referees do the job.
I respect your opinion but he has been playing for a long time already, enough for him not to make crucial mistakes "TWICE" in a very crucial match. Lets take note the word "TWICE" here because a single mistake is understandable but to make it twice... still I think there is something wrong either they want more revenue or they are just too confident to win the series that is why they just gave 1 win to NLEX.

On the other hand though, there might be a chance that a professional player like him can experience mental breakdown like you said. I just hope that this will not happen again either to him or to other Ginebra players as well or NLEX will upset them as the momentum will shift if NLEX win again in Game 4.

Agree. After all, LA is only human, can commit mistakes like that and it can happen to anybody in this kind of sport, it even happens in the NBA.

Thinking that it was a fixed game is just disrespect to coach Yeng and the NLEX team who worked very hard not to be swept in the series so for me that was just another game where NLEX was lucky to survive the onslaught and live to fight for the title.

Next game would be too hard for them though so I'm going for the Kings this time around even if it is a 5 points handicap.

The game is too close and if the game is fixed they should be a great actor since the game was intense and you can really see the emotion of every players. Anyway, let’s give them the benefit of the doubt and move forward now, game 4 is coming and I hope to watch live this time. Still rooting for Ginebra to go to the finals this conference.

Yes, the conspiracy theories are starting to prove that there's really some cooking happening although I know that there has been a belief like that ever since I don't believe in it either. But it's a crucial time to do some mistakes and LA must be tired and he hasn't noticed that there's one NLEX warrior on the front that would steal that ball upon passing. That's just a usual mistake and probably have thought that the lead wasn't that much either so he took 2 points.

It's just my speculation mate, and I'm sure some of us here think the same way.

The series could be more fun if it will be extended, like the NLEX vs Ginebra series, if we have game 5, then for sure, the Arena will be full as Ginebra has a lot of supporters which are will fill in the crowd.

Game 4 is a doe or die for the Ginebra, at least that's their mentality because they will be in danger if they will let this reach game 5.

I follow you with that sentiment, Ginebra will not let this to happen if possible to finished the series in game 4 they will do all the best that they can to advance to the finals. Maybe it's a mistake with Tenorio but he knows that it's not the end of his career, they can move on and continue to chase another title.

They are closer to the finals, one more win and they will be back and will try to add more title to the franchise.

Conspiracy does happen anytime if it really exists.

I thought the series will resume tomorrow, but when I checked I see it will be on Wednesday.
This is good for LA, he needs time to reflect and make sure he will not do the same mistake again, game 4 is a must-win for them if they want to have a shot on the championship trophy.

Guys, have you seen how good the Meralco were in their last 2 games?
Do you think they can beat the Kings?

NLEX won, no swept happened.

However, I have a feeling that the Ginebra try to give this game to the NLEX.

What I noticed is that Brownlee missing Free throws, and the last play, what a stupid LA Tenorio, I don't know if he is not aware that they are down by 3 points, but instead of shooting a 3 point shot, he drives the ball and make a lay up with no time left.
Why they throw the game if they already have the chance to go to the finals?
Well, this is just a speculation and I know what you are thinking since Live audience are allowed now maybe they are trying to get more money before they end the game, this is an old speculation. The game is convincing because NLEX did a great job so stay alive, let’s give credits to them for not giving up.

On the contrary though, there is a question that came to my mind after watching saying that "What if they really gave up that game so that the series will be extended. More game = more revenue and more entertainment for the fans?" Lets take note also that when Ginebra is playing, the venue is almost full so more audiences = more revenue Cheesy. Its only a question out of my curiosity though and it might be true.


This is the point that I have in my mind, LA has been in many years in the NBA and has been in many crucial moments in his career, so it's impossible that he would miss the right thing to do. There must be a rigged, like you said, more games = more revenue, and this is their opportunity to recover their loses during the pandemic.
Revenue at the cost of getting the title, this rumors might be true since if there's a money on the table even a good player will grab that opportunity.
Let's see if NLEX will continue their lucky game against Ginebra or no more second chances for Ginebra as they take the game seriously. If Ginebra loses in game 4, I believe that is not scripted anymore, so let's watch closely and have some bet to enjoy the game.

Only LA and the people behind that rigged thing know everything behind. Hahahah  Wink

Moving forward, it's not the end of the series Gin kings still leading and still have the high chance to win and move to the finals.

One game is nothing they can adjust to and possibly finished the series in their next game, though NLEX is not giving the fight they

are willing to risk it all to continue, it will be interesting to see who's more hunger to know who will win the game 4.
