The series now tied for Ginebra vs Meralco. Although C. Stand score 41 points but it wasn't enough to beat the Meralco who tried to even the series. It was the complete team effort of Ginebra that made them beat a strong team like Ginebra, there shooting was great, they ended with 50% shooting, and have outrebounded Ginebra by 11 rebounds.
Now, we are going into the 2nd game of the SMB vs ROS series, can the ROS even the series as well? Let's see, but as for me, I had my bet on SMB at -5.5. I believe it's either SMB winning covering the spread or ROS will win outright.
Edit, the firsts has been concluded 53-45, SMB leading by 8 points but I don't like the spread in the live betting as SMB is only -7.5. I'm not quite skeptical if this bet will win as spread like that in this situation, normally the underdog will cover based on my experiencce.
Also the pregame total was 204. now live at 201.5, I'll take the over.

I had also place my bet already, I booked the under 177.5.
This looked good in the 1st to 3rd quarter but the 4th quarter was about scoring, the game ended at a total of 180 points. So you loss your bet. I remember the point spread was -4.5 for Meralco, that could have easily win as the Gin Kings already wasted time but with 5 seconds left I guess, I don't understand why Meralco still choose to score despite the fact that they are already down 6 points, as a sign of respect, they should have already wasted the time since there's no point quotient already. I smell fishy on that last play.. hmmmm.. Turned out, Meralco covered the +4.5 because Ginebra won only by 4 points because of that no necessary shot. Do we expect to hear another fans that threatened players because of that last shot? I used to remember Mambatac when he took that last shot even there's no way that they can win or tie the game, he was threatened in his social media accounts and really put some noise about that, as the gambler who loses their bets thinks that Mambatac messed it up, is this another some sort of same situation where someone takes it even there's no chance of winning the game but the sole purpose is to messed with the handicap. Hahaha just saying.. but for those who pick the handicap for the Gin kings just need to move forward and try to analyze the next game then place a bet..
I'm still rooting for the SMB and Ginebra, IMO, it's worth doing a parlay for the moneyline.
That might wieght it up, this is a series while Nambatac's case is something different but inside gamblers mind who similarly bets with the game for sure that's no difference, though I like what you said, it's the disrespectul that Meralco shown and maybe it can be use by Gin kings as additional motivation in terms of securing the win, but in the back of my mind I like to follow what's behind that easy basket that should not be done since Gin kings already wasting time and waiting for the clock to ends up, why that last shot was been taken especially when the handicap can be ruined by that basket, something fishy which a manipulators hands might be present behind.

The spread of the game is already out..
SMB -5.5 vs ROS,. We have the first game of the best of 7 series, I think in the first game they'll come up so confident after the win, especially the ROS who had a great shooting night when they beat the TNT, so I guess it's going to be over. Not taking the spread but I have the ROS to score over 104.5.

ROS only managed to score 98 points mate, though they have a decent percentage on the outside shooting but they struggle on the paint as they can't score easily with Junemar Fajardo manning the middle. I have not put a bet on this game as i was thinking that ROS might upset them on game 1 as ROS' confidence is high with that win over TNT the other night. As usual, Fajardo was somewhat unstoppable in this game, tallying 23 points and grabbing 16 rebounds, good numbers for his 8th MVP award hehe.
Guess the correct bet was ROS because even if they loss they still manage to cover the handicap. The line movement from -5.5 to -8.5 indicates that public bets are pushing the line so hard, and they didn't regret it as they all lose.
2nd game happening now, I didn't watch the game but maybe in the 2nd half I'll do. I had also place my bet already, I booked the under 177.5.
Good to all!
I lose my bet on the over, turn out the offense of ROS is not enough to score 100+ points. It was only a 3 point win by SMB, I had a chance to win if that game went to OT but the tying shot didn't went in, so that's it. Anyway, there's still more games to come, I'll check back tomorrow and bet again, double my losses to come up on top if I win.
@Maslate ... low scoring game so far, your bet is looking good, I'm hoping they'll continue with the slow phase game.

Predictable indeed, they are just so lucky that they exploded for 39 points in the first quarter and have a comfortable 17 points lead, if not for that they might have lost the game. Moving forward, ROS will face SMB Beermen in the semis which i think the Beermen will win as the Elastopainters don't have anyone that could stop the Kraken down low.
That's for sure, and aside from the SMB which is already a good 3 point shooters, they also have players that could attack the paint. The 2nd unit of the SM is more than enough to beat the starters of the ROS, so I doubt it will be a long series, unless.....if you know what I mean.

The handicap seems so decent as knowing how dominating SMB was, though with the lost against Terrafima maybe that exposed something and maybe coach Yeng will find that fit system to counter SMB's outstanding offensive attakcs, I'm pretty sure there are early gamblers who already take that odds believing that SMB will give them decent profits.
With your pick, not sure if the game will be that high scoring game as SMB is not just good with their offense but they can match the speed and can play that tough defense to counter whatever coach Yeng will use during the game.

There has been a sudden movement of handicap, as mentioned, it was -5.5 when it opened, now it's already -8.5. If this line movement is a good indication, most likely people are betting on SMB so bookies decided to move the line. Now, with -8.5, I think SMB is still capable of cover the spread if they'll win the game.
This two teams face in the regular season, SMB managed to beat them by 12 points, so if we will witness the same scenario, it's safe to say that SMB will cover the spread.
here's the boxscore on that game. https://pba.ph/recap?match=2417613

I guess if they can't bring Mikey back maybe Chris Newsome might fit with how coach Chot execute his running game attacks.
The guy would really be a help to the team because he has the talent, unfortunately he demands a lot of money that's why they can't close a contract with him. I guess Newsome would really fit, he is not really a good scorer but he'll be able to improve the defense of the team, so let's see if that will happen since it's possible as he is playing with the sister team. TNT team needs some rebump as this current lineup is not a championship team anymore.
Though I'm heaing some rumor that Newsome might be traded to Gin kings but chances to be traded to his main team might be possible, not sure if MVP group will push for it and let his main squad to be competitive against his rival company, Oftana needs someone who can help him developing more of his talent and since both Newsome and him are playing for the National squad I guess the connection is no longer hard to established.
Second game, that's a nerve breaking escape after having a comfortable lead TNT manage to rally back and almost snatch the game to coach Yeng, luckily they escaped and will now move forward for the semis.
ROS are so predictable as they relied so much on outside shooting, I think the same with TNT, and since ROS shoot better in that game, they won the game. What I'm really impress is on how Kelly Williams played that game, he is already 42 years old and still competing very well, can even drive in the paint and score, and that game, he score 3 straight 3 point shots with less than a minute remaining, that's unbelievable.

Like what coach Yeng said from his interview there's no 2nd five as all the players can be consider as 1st five but they will fight and hope for some luck to help them win a game against the super team. Let see if how they will execute the system and what strategy they will use in trying to be competitve as it can be.

Aside from being a fil-am he's also a former MVP as conditioning both mental and physical may gave him that extra edge from those players who at in his age now, but yeah that's really impressive machine gun Kelly shows his best for sure if they snatch that game he's all in the sports headline bringing that age at the top of his game.
They need additional scorer that's what they are missing right now, I guess if they can't bring Mikey back maybe Chris Newsome might fit with how coach Chot execute his running game attacks.

So far SMB is dominating though still one more quarter to complete but seems that SMB is answeing whatever attempts Terrafima tried to rally back, it's tough as the main gunner of SMB are all doing the damage, CJ, Abay and TR7 are all in double digits while whoever is entering the court are also adding numbers, if Terrafima will not do the last push during the final quarter for sure that handicap can be cover as SMB might win more than 15 points, just an opinion as we don't really know if what the final quarter will, either SMB will finished it with a dictated outcome, or Terrafima will try to catch and make sure that the distance is not that huge.
And that's it kabayan, the fairy tale run of Terrafirma has come to an end as the Beermen blew them out in the second half and the SMB Beermen cover the spread of 10.5. Junemar Fajardo exploded in the second half of the game and gave the comfortable lead.
Lost my bet here as I thought that Terrafirma would make this game a close but they don't have an answer to every basket that SMB made in the final two quarters.
The next game is still an interesting game to watch, hope that ROS will take the last semis berth.
edit: ROS off to a good start, scoring 39 points in the first quarter while TNT scored only 22.
That's the real SMB playing out there, they limits the run of Terra and dominated the offense nothing that Terrafima can do as for Abay we know the man when the team needs him he simply do his usual attacks and let the defense collapse, I do believe that the first game was rigged hahahah just extending the life for Terra and provide more games for bettors to gamble.

45-59 ROS> This is a win for the ROS I guess. Just like in game 2, Oftana is still limited, so I guess ROS will likely win here.
Don't count them out yet, we still have the 2nd half. I think TNT will not go down without a fight, if there's a chance take the TNT handicap as they might come back and cover the handicap even if they loss the game. 3 point shooting was very bad for TNT, they are only 2-14, and since that is their main weapon, if the struggle continues, they'll loss.
Yeah you are right, they really didn't give up and made a big run in the 4th quarter, even bring down the lead to 1 point only but when Pogoy, the TNT have struggled on their offense. It was game full of thrill because the comeback is possible to be completed, but ROS were able to prevent that from happening and beat the TNT by 1 point only.
Final score 110-109/
Kelly Williams 32 points for TNT
Mamuyac 25 points for ROS
