Almazan were still able to generate points, and it's just right that he should play because he can play and he was not injured anymore.
He only produce less than what he produce in the 1st and 2nd game before the injury, but that's alright, there's still game 5 that he can improve his performance and the game is not over yet.

Almazan's production was ok, it's the three point shooting that is abandoning the Bolts. They are are shooting just above 10 percent on that area. They are small compare to the squad of Ginebra so they should improve the percentage on 3's if they want to extend this series to game 7.

Maliksi has not really have contributed this series, he should be a factor since he got the height to defend the wing men of the Kings.

And they will now face the elimination next game with Almazan still on injury and never had a chance to at least take a rest. It's a bad strategy to force him to play on Game 4 even he is willing to play. If only he allows himself to skip Game 4, he can come back on Game 5 at least in much good shape compare to Game 4, increasing the chances for them to survive the elimination next game. They think of the other way I believed which is they allow Almazan to play on Game 4 instead of giving him a break and if ever they will win, they will rest him on Game 5.

He is still injured. There's no way a knee injury will be totally healed within 3 days.

It's difficult to beat Ginebra 3 times in a row and Meralco needs a healthy lineup to match it. Although the ball is round, I'm Ginebra will be the champion of the final conference this season.

Ginebra sustained their lead and won. This just shows how dominating Ginebra is against the Meralco. This also shows how badly Almazan is still hurt in the game. They should have rested him and come back stronger in the next game.

anyone here think Meralco can still win in the 2nd half?

No, I didn't and i think it was a good decision because Ginebra are still beating the Meralco in the 3rd quarter.

19 points lead by the Ginebra now, so even if Meralco will do the same last game that they have a big rally in 4th quarter, I think they'll be short again.

4th quarter we go, 70-55 at the start, Ginebra leading 15 points, let's see if Meralco can make a miracle here.

No miracle happened in this game. As expected, Ginebra dominated the game through the four quarters and never give any chance for meralco to catch up. I don't think meralco will win this championship but I think they will win game 5 and loss to game 6 which will end their campaign in this governors cup.

It's goes different from how things ended last game 3 Meralco unable to catch up and ginebra really play well to make sure that they will seal this game. The series is going near as the lead is now 3-1 chances that it can be finished at game 5 is possible, Almazan's health condition might be compromised since he and force his injury.

Meralco 31- Ginebra 42.. this is indeed a very low scoring game, lucky are those who pick the under in this game.

I'm considering of betting the spread now which is Meralco +8.5 with 2.04 at sportsbet, also I am tempted to put my bet on Meralco to win this game with a very high odds of 4.95...

Good luck on that bet, it has a chance to hit now because Almazan is playing and he seemed to be okay.

seriously?Almazan is playing in Game 4?i though he will be gone for the rest of conference because of that injury?but if this is Indeed then Ginebra will have a great game from game 4 onwards.

Goodluck also for Mirakal for this One.

He is playing and I should be happy because my bet seems so ambitious.
Ginebra is leading the game with 9 points but it's not a big deal because we are still in the 2nd quarter of the game.

almazan has a little contribution with 2 points only, but hopefully he will ignite as the game goes on.

Until now the line has no move, this convince me that Meralco would win in game 4, smart money are on Meralco while the public are pushing the -3.5 but line is not moving, good luck guys, my prediction on this game is that meralco would win.

Taking also Meralco 11+ @5.40

he should be given more minutes, even though he is a liability in defense.

The guy doesn't do good on defense so i would rather go for Maliksi and urge/motivate him so he can contribute on this series which he have not done so far. This is a championship series and defense is important.

Odds as of the moment, Kings 1.67 Bolts 2.18, looks like it would be equal before game time huh.

Meralco will try to fight even without Almazan, they were able to compete in the last PBA finals when he was not acquired by Meralco yet and IIRC, they have REYNEL HUGNATAN that time but I don't know if at his age now, he can still play with decent output, I haven't seem him play in the last 3 games.

Of course they will try to win this one. Meralco will be on a mission this game 4 and with their current situation where they lack the inside presence they should double their effort for outside shots and defend the perimeter. Basir Amer will be a key factor for this game if they want to win.

they will be surely doing the best they can Give in this game 4 or else the Championship will be in favor more of ginebra Kings because after this they will be only needing 1 game to close the season.

on the other hand Amer will be the Key player in terms of scoring but you forgot to mention "Faundo " to make a good work here because he will took over the position of Almazan and also maintain his position.

this will be a hard task for both of them and of course the whole team but i am positive that Bolts will bring this to Game 7.

Trying is not enough, they have to win this one, otherwise they'll face a do or die next game.
If the last game went under, I believe same thing will happen here, I will try to bet on the under in pregame and will do live betting for spread.

Though he's low on defense but he's a streaky shooter and his offense will complement on his defense. I am not looking for him to defend but his offense is more vitanl than that.

Get them when they will be +5 soon, or get an ML if it offers x3.00, that way the return is quite profitable if it wins.
Meralco were able to play competitive basketball in the 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, and 4th quarter, so it seemed they could be fine without Almazan and by now, they should be revising their strategy already to try to even the series.

Meralco will be fine without Almazan only if their Game 1 performance will not repeat wherein only 3 players managed to step up for the Bolts. On Game 2, Meralco did lots of mistakes that almost put them on near loss but good thing they won. They allow Ginebra to make a big rally on that game. And here in Game 3, there are some inconsistencies in Meralco's play and others are not stepping up.

Meralco is a strong team. They just need some push for their bench and local players.

I might hit the Meralco ML here because I want to consider something that in my mind right now.
