I will try to focus on Philippine basketball recently, it seems to have its own impression on me, original asian game.

You'll have more fun because PBA now is in the playoffs, more exciting games to come and if you can watch them live, you'll definitely have fun. Nice to hear from someone who does s not originally come from the Philippines is loving the sport.

PBA is one of the oldest basketball league in the Philippines and you know basketball is the most famous sports not just in PH but in other parts of Asia as well. I'm also glad to hear that some foreign people are taking some interest in Philippine Basketball Association, it's not that hard to understand because it has a lot of similarities to NBA.

What team do you think will advance in the semi-finals?
I have Magnoli vs SMB and NLEX vs Ginebra.

And I have the Ginebra to be the Champion.

Magnolia have a higher chance of winning this time but still, I will pick SMB as the champions this time not only because I'm a fan of them but I believe that they can still win a championship with their current roster right now especially now that they have an import which is a scoring machine in Shabazz.

I don't want to disregard Ginebra though and still they have a chance on winning it but it will be hard for them to win a championship especially if Pringle isn't playing. Imports of both NLEX and Alaska has changed so I don't know which team will I pick between the 2 but for the 3 match-ups, I'll pick Magnolia, SMB and TNT

.

Still hard to predict on what will be the fate of each teams, Cojuangco and Pangilinan still have the upper hand though I'm thinking of some drama with Alaska's last season who knows they might be able to catch up and be at finals for this season, like you just said they've got new import and by how the locals are doing some damage maybe they can beat NLEX.

maybe they will be able to extend to the next round and see if there're some chances for them though the competition after this might be more difficult.

SMB, Magnolia and Gin kings, not much about Cojuangco's hahaha. Roll Eyes

By the way, the odds are out.

NLE vs Alaska +2.5
TNT vs Ginebra +2.5

Thanks, I guess I'll skip the first one as it's very unpredictable IMO. However, I am very confident with my pick on the TNT vs Ginebra game, since TNT is in a twice to beat disadvantage, I will give the game 1 for the Ginebra, and with that said, I will go for the Kings ML in game 1.

Same here, Picking the SMB to win as they have a quality import who can carry the team.
This import is an NBA player, he is still good and he even scored 57 points, so I don't have doubt anymore on Shabazz.

That's a big problem for NLEX because we might see some issue with chemistry due to the change of import, and we have no idea how good the new import is, if he is as good or even better than McDaniels, then for sure the series will be interesting.

By the way, the odds are out.

NLE vs Alaska +2.5
TNT vs Ginebra +2.5

I'm glad that you are starting to love basketball, please do love the Philippine Basketball Association too as this league is also fun to watch.

Thank you for sharing, I will make sure to explore the world of sports especially basketball, including Filipino and international basketball clubs.

I've been focusing on soccer, maybe if I combine it to make bets on gambling sites between soccer and basketball, it seems very fun, I mean placing a bet on both, I've studied about basketball tournaments, it seems I've slowly understood how they bet.

so this can be a good bet since its easy to predict but since Phoenix was able to shock NP, maybe they can also do that against Magnolia.

In fairness, I'm amazed how Phoenix surprised the NorthPorth on their recent match but still, NP is nowhere to compare to the caliber of the Magnolia. I'm not saying that Phoenix doesn't have a chance to win but I will give it a "small chance".

If Phoenix will win on Game 1, that's already a good achievement for a team that takes the last spot in the Quarterfinals.

Well then, we won't see until it happened.

Yeah, you're right, I was not looking closely at the match-up posted above.

of course, it will be Bolts vs SMB and I'm still putting my money on the SMB although they are not as good as before because I trust their import so much. Their last game, SMB beat Bolts with a score of 115-110, and Shabazz was on fire who scored 57 points and grabbed 19 rebounds.

That was not an easy win though and their next match-up is not an easy one for SMB as they are on a do-or-go home scenario. If we have followed this SMB's history recently, they are one of the teams that is hard to beat in a series but they are also easy or having a hard time winning in a do-or-die battle so this next game for them is interesting but still i would go for SMB but of course with a handicap if they are the underdogs.

SMB can surprise many teams especially Meralco, we can’t tell a sure win for Meralco here since SMB players are good as well, this is an exciting match up and for sure no teams will give up easily. We can’t totally say SMB is the underdog here, we should not focus anymore on the previous wins and losses, this is already a quarter finals, anything can happen by surprises so place your bet carefully.

. I'm not disregarding Phoenix but with how they played the whole conference, I believe that they will win with this although.

That's what the majority thinks but it doesn't guarantee that they will win. We have to understand that Phoenix also has a good import and good local players, maybe Magnolia is the better team but if Wright will produce at the right time, then we might see a do or die in this series.

let's wait for the betting odds, I believe Magnolia will be the heavy favorite here so it's nice to take the risk and maybe an upset would happen in game 1.

No guarantee at all, and the possibilities of upset always happen inside PBA, we never know how the preparation Phoenix have after beating NP, if the morale still high from each players of Phoenix the chance of having that same energy and forcing this to a game deciding series. Though on the other hand, well-rested magnolia have enough time to practice and discuss everything regarding to their next game.

No doubt that Magnolia, being the op seeder, will be the favorite to win this match.

Also, if you have time to bet during a live game, sometimes Magnolia wins the game coming from behind. Better odd
for them while the opponent is still leading. Cool

As someone who lives in the Philippines, I only watched a handful of games of PBA in the country. To be honest, I do not watch TV frequently and maybe that is one of the reasons on why it never opted for me to consistently watch the games being broadcasted live.

Do you have any recommendations as to which YouTube channel or website where I can watch the games live or at least the replays? I really want to delve into the discussion of PBA being an avid fan of NBA itself. Like what they always say, always support local and your home country!

I've watched the match between Magnolia vs. Phoenix twice, in basketball, the first in the seventh month of 2021 with a score of 80:73 and the last time last month with a score of 103:83, as far as I know and see Magnolia is good and worth the bet, the team is playing well too, Overall I began to be interested in the game of basketball.

No betting odds yet since the game will be this coming Wednesday, we have over a day before this game will start.

About the odds, we have already an idea on which team will be the favorite or the underdog, these are the complete match-up in the quarter-finals, the first post I made lacks one match up.

* Alaska vs NLEX
* Meralco vs SMB
* Ginebra vs TNT
* Magnolia vs Phoenix

Poor Northport. They are in advantage at most part of the game but ended up losing. Robert Bolick is a mess. He is doing great in the early periods but what happened at the end. He feels he is the main hero of the team. His gameplay becomes selfish.

Bolick feels he can do anything disregarding any of his teammates chance to make a good gameplay instead.

I saw also his selfishness against the TNT.
There is a possession at the final minutes of the 4th quarter where he is holding the ball for a very long time and even Artis is asking for the ball already but instead of giving it to him, he instead made a very contested three point shot and ended up as an airball and a turnover as well. I saw that and I didn't move for quite some time while thinking about what happened. That is where I saw Bolick's selfishness especially in the crucial moments of the game. I know that he is a great player but as a great player, you must know what is the best for the team as well and including that is to involve them and not being selfish. I don't know but if he will continue like this, they might trade him because that may cause their win.

Phoenix will now face their former player Calvin Abueva and like to see their reunion matchup with his co-main scorer back then, Matthew Wright.

If it goes to game 3, the better.
For me, SMB has the edge here but we cannot discount the Bolts as they have improve this season.

I like that, I have no idea what will be the betting odds in game 1. Most probably the Magnolia will be declared as the favorites since they are the number 1 team but it seems like Shabazz had adjusted already and in fact, he carried the SMB in the past few games. This is very unpredictable, I can only say that I will bet on the team that I like to win, and that is the SMB.

Not sure if you mixed it up or what, Magnolia will be against fuel master while SMB will be against the Bolts, maybe you are too
if ever both teams will win their respective series, maybe they will be facing each other but that's still early and the schedule will
be depends on how those 2nd rounds will end.

But like you, I'll be on the same side. I just hope that SMB is not just good in the paper but also good in an actual games
when the series starts. GL! Roll Eyes
