games will resume tomorrow.
5 pm - Eastern vs Bolts -- Eastern is favored by 6.5.. and the total is 195.5
7:30 pm - SMB vs Ginebra. -- Ginebra -1.5 and the total is 197.5
Bolts seemed to be underestimated, not sure if the spread is right but I would be willing to take the risk and take Bolts ML with x3.
How about you guys, what are your thoughts on the games?

Thanks for sharing kabayan, seems that heavy favorites are not on the top spot as of this moment, both SMC and MVP's squads are on the middle spots though they still got the chance to move forward as there are still games that they've going to play, like you, it was a good start for Converge and if they maintain this kind of momentum the chance of making it to the next round is not by far,
I like the way they are blending players seems that they really getting the confidence that they need playng with each, that's the good start to solidify their main core and then established that chemistries to continue winning games.

Converge and NorthPort are the teams to watch this conference. The Batang Pier has a winning streak of 5 games before they lost in their sixth game so their winning run was not a fluke, i would say. If this trend continues in the PBA then i think basketball fans will come and watch games as they feel that games will be unpredictable, not like before where the winner is almost certain, MVP or SMC teams.
Yeah right, if in case that this trend will continue and all those mentioned teams will ends up strong this season, I'm sure that there are new fans that will be attracted and will start to watch the league, if they will see that the domination of SMC and MVP are no longer certain, though we can't conclude as those MVP and SMC teams love to play as underdog and beat or upset their opponents along the way.

It should be like that to keep things unpredictable. If these teams can compete at a high level, we’re in for an exciting playoffs, especially if one of them makes it to the Finals. Between the two, I’d pick Converge. They’ve really improved after adding key players to their lineup, and now they hold the longest winning streak in the league.

What can you say about the current standings?
For me, I am surprised with Converge FiberXers, they are doing well at the beginning of the conference! I am hoping they will continue.

We will be seeing theses great double header matchups when they resume.
Eastern vs Meralco (1st game)
SMB vs Ginebra. (2nd game)
Eastern vs Meralco (1st game)
SMB vs Ginebra. (2nd game)
Meralco has been struggling lately, and I think facing Eastern will likely result in another loss for them.
As for the second game, that’s an exciting matchup, especially for SMB. I’m curious to see how the team has adjusted after their previous losses. I’m also unsure if they’re sticking with the same import who hasn’t really performed like a true import.
Before making any calls, though, I’d love to check the betting lines first and base my judgment on those.
When will be the games resume, anyone knows?
it will be this coming Jan 5, according to the schedule written in their website https://pba.ph/

Converge added some much-needed size when they acquired him, and Balti has been a great addition. He doesn’t demand the ball much, focusing instead on defense and letting the guards dictate the plays. That’s a big reason why their lineup is so effective.
Looking at the rankings, they’re now sitting at number 2, tied with Eastern. Just one more win might put them at the top, which would be a first since they became the Converge team.

Agree, Converge is one of the teams to beat in the PBA right now with the addition of Baltazar and there is much to improve in his game offensively and it is good that right now he focus his game on defense as there is no off night when it comes to defense.

yeah, we can see it here https://www.pba.ph/standings
the top 3 teams are.
eastern 6-2
converge 6-2
northport 6-1 ( this team should be at the top)...
It’s a great conference now since things are so unpredictable. Seeing these two teams at the top, which isn’t their usual spot, shows how much improvement some of the weaker teams have made. Except, of course, for the real bottom-tier teams like Blackwater and DYIP... no surprises there. They’re still stuck in the same spot, unfortunately.
Still proving that they are a farm teams hahahah but kidding aside, I like the way the competitions this ongoing conference as I like to see how those super teams will climb back when playoffs is nearing, knowing the capacities of those teams from both MVP groups and SMC teams, I like how those top 3 teams will try to resist and keep the position.
As of this moment there are still games that we will enjoy before the upcoming playoffs, but then again regular is for positioning while playoffs is the real one that's needed to win to advance to the finals and chase for the ring.

Same thoughts yesterday, the odds were surprising for then. It means they are really strong right now. They just easily beat the Meralco Bolts with 16 points?! That's a huge win for them.
Yup, Heading and Balti do the damages and seems like they are working well fighting for every ball that they've got, I like the presence of Balti and Arana they both helping a lot for the Import not to push him taking many shots but to help him getting those shared productions from each players who are playing with him.

Their next fight is against TNT Tropang Giga on January 11, 2025. This is also an exciting match, even TNT is the lowest team in the standings right now.
This is interestin but I doubt RHJ would be able to dominate the paint when converge import will be sticking with him. I tihnk I'm gonna ride with Converge again.
Just like what I've mentioned, Arana and Balti together with the import, they are all making damage inside the paint and then you've got Heading and Stockton who both works outside, together they are blending so well.

Unfortunately Converge managed to complete the win, now I realize why bookies gives them that slight favorites, to those who take that live game bet for Meralco's ML seems bookies manage to hook them, though it's really tempting knowing how good the team was but so far Converge really playing well and the combinations are working for the whole squad.

Betting against them doesn’t seem like the best idea for now.

Congrats to those who pick both Converge and Gin kings as both teams manage to win though they are the favorites if you pick both for multi bet that's something decent for your xmass bonus/wins.
What a huge comeback by Ginebra!
At some point of the game, they were down by 20 i guess but managed to fight back in the 4th quarter and defeat Magnolia with a game-winning three-pointer by Thompson. I was really hoping the game wouldn’t go into overtime because I would have lost my bet on the total. Thankfully, Thompson came through in the clutch and made the shot.
The fans must have been very entertained by the game as it was another display of Ginebra’s "NSD" attitude. But for Magnolia, it’s such a waste of opportunity since they needed that win to stay in contention for the eliminations. With this loss, their chances are looking slim. It’s disappointing that they couldn’t hold on to their big lead.

Odds before the game of Meralco Bolts vs Converge Fiberxers.
I'm surprised with Converge right now as their standing is 5 wins, and 2 losses.
While Meralco bolts is already 3 wins and 1 lose. But still, the odds are not giving.

Bolts ML and under 202.5. GL!
Good luck with that, but I wouldn’t bet just yet since I’m not sure if Meralco is still playing without an import. Last time, they lost to Blackwater because they didn’t have one, so it’s risky to gamble without knowing the current lineup. I might wait for the game to start and place my bet live instead. Converge now is on a three-game winning streak, and their last win was a huge confidence booster after coming back from a big deficit. Betting against them doesn’t seem like the best idea for now.
