Which very well taken cared by the coaching staff they've able to cool him and the locals help him not to force the entire scoring in his hands, it's been said before that this import is really great and the team his playing right now did a great job maintaining the efforts for the whole team as it is, SMB really trying to go inside Jones both physical and mental but he manage to finish the game and win it.

I really appreciate Jones' effort to resist himself not go in rage because it seems that SMB's large guys are intended to annoy him. Imagine, he endured the elbow swing of Fajardo right to his liver (Ouch!) and also the physicality of Standhardinger. I think pushing Jones' to his limit is part of SMB's strategy but unfortunately they did't succed. They ended up getting technical fouls and foul troubles lol. Better luck next time for them Cheesy

Now that TNT has taken the lead in the series, I wonder what would be the series odds right now, I hope Darkstar will still accept a series bet so we can see more excitement from this thread. The last update was 1.70 for TNT To win, now it should be lower.

It was Fajardo who make this team successful and even they have import, they can still rely on fajardo.
In game 3, Fajardo did a good job scoring inside the paint when their import is in foul trouble but he lack support from the other local because their outside shooting does not click while the TNT outside scorers are very consistent.

My friends and I also noticed the same that Fajardo had a greater time inside the court compare to their import. Why? Probably because of unbalance harmony. I noticed that when Fajardo is inside the lead diminishes but when McCullough is also inside the lead expands again. But still, props to their efforts however I guess they can't stop TNT for aiming the championship. I mean, SMB is pretty dominated all the way long whether when it comes to offense and defense. They can't also stop Jones, the long 3s and even the sneaky offensive rebounds; so what SMB gonna do right now?

McCullough is tall but does not have the body to defend Jones, if you notice, McCullough is not doubled unlike Jones where there's another defender coming from the weak side that will go in front of him if he will drive.

Fajardo on the other side, he has the body but he doesn't have the quickness and therefore his move is very unpredictable.
If they will let fajardo to just generate the points, that will make them very unpredictable and TNT will beat them in the 4 quarters of the game.

SMB's meltdown in the second quarter cost them the game. They can't score for more than six minutes and Fajardo missing a lot of put backs in that period. Jones is too much for the Beermen and credit to Jones or the TNT staff for keeping his cool as he almost got ejected on that game. If the temper of Jones will be control then TNT is hard to defeat in this series.

This is not only the fight between Jones and Fajardo but this is the fight if every players in both team. Will be able to see this end up in game 7.

I'm not saying that this Finals is between Jones and Fajardo, i'm stressing out the importance of a Junemar in the SMB play. Coach Austria is heavily relying on Junemar and we have seen that on the championships that they've won. If we take out Fajardo on the SMB roster, there is no way that they will reach this finals as gunners alone could not win them games and we have seen that 4/5 years ago when Junemar join SMB. In this series, if Junemar won't click then SMB is on the wrong end of the rope.

It was Fajardo who make this team successful and even they have import, they can still rely on fajardo.
In game 3, Fajardo did a good job scoring inside the paint when their import is in foul trouble but he lack support from the other local because their outside shooting does not click while the TNT outside scorers are very consistent.

That is their problem. In Game 2, SMB shot many threes in the first half compare to TNT but they are not shooting that well in the 2nd half and TNT had many three points that went in. Now in Game 3, the TNT's shooters has been consistent in the three and the ability of their locals to fight for the rebound give them the win.

They got the early lead but it vanished easily. Now the momentum is on the TNT already and still nobody can stop Jones. A good defender and a good passer. How they can stop that person Cheesy

After Fajardo entered SMB, I started to become a fun of the SMB. Tho, one thing that I have noticed with them is that they are always getting a slow paced during every finals that they are in.

Both did really impressive wins during semi-finals. TNT right now are pretty strong having Jones in their team is pretty dangerous and he obviously shows it having 41 points on game 1.

Even if this fight can really be so closed I still be on the side of SMB LOL go KRAKEN!. Also I am hoping the Romeo will step up. Hitting outside should be his main priority

The strength of SMB is Fajardo and if Fajardo is a non-factor of this series then i could say that it's money in the bag for TNT and we are seeing it now that the Kraken is having a hard time defending the middle due to the athleticism of Jones and on the offensive side also, Jones is limiting Fajardo. I'm an SMB fan but with the current outlook of the series, i would put my money on the Katropa on the remaining games.

This is final series already and I don't think that TNT just give up easily even if Jones will be out of the game. They arrive in final series just because all of them did well.

TNT takes Game 3 and I'm not hoping now for someone to bet against me this series lol. Thinking of adjusting the odds.

SMB is playing like they are not the SMB I have known. They are focusing too much to annoyed TNT's Jones. For what reason? For him to be ejected again? Luckily, Jones kept his cool and got saved from being ejected just in the first quarter. This shows that SMB can't really do something to slow down Jones so an ejection might save them lol.

SMB literally wasted their large lead. TNT's local players began stepping up while SMB is focused on Jones.

I'll go suicidal on this game 3 as i'll bet for the SMB to win and over 205.5 for 5.40 odds.

Parlay?

Over 205.5 has a big chance I guess. I'm expecting to see a raining of buckets tonights from both teams.

Yeah, parlay. Though the chance is slim this game 3 but it's possible that SMB can win the game but this could be done on the offensive end. Cabagnot and TR7 should score more so that the defense of TNT will collapse on the back court of the Beermen. If SMB will win game 3, at least i win big Grin

at least once.

And yeah, as I said, Over 205.5 has a big chance, 115-105.

But other parts of the parlay spoiled your bet. Well then nice try. Those combined odds is really tempting.

And with that they have this game and win it, Jones really unstoppable the value of his playing skills is too hard for SMB to handle, with the help of locals like Pugoy and Trollano they've managed win and lead the series again, 2-1 edge can be used to have more confidence as we've seen how the team manage to comeback each time SMB is pulling over.

I’ve not watched yet the game 3, but it seems TNT wins it and another nice and terrible game for T.Jones carrying again TNT to pull back over closer for the championship on this conference.

Pressure is on for SMB, they should need to think the best strategy to not let T.Jones destroyed them again. And they shouldn’t not let TNT to take them over again in game 4, It’ll be more tough to best TNT if they let that happen.

Quote

Game 4 on Sunday, SMB should find ways to work with new strategy for Jones dominance, they've need not to allow him to keep pushing and lifting his team, adjustment and more contributions from the local players.

We knew how good SMB in regards to defense but jones dominated the whole game,

Defense and controlling the the defensive board are different. It is already the 4th quarter of game 3 but we are still seeing the same thing. Too many second chance points by TNT.

It seems there’s a betting happening here Cheesy

Anyone watched the full game of game 2? rumor says “luto” as in some of foul calls are in favor of smb?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=841BwbNaKiY

This is not new in Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) that the calls of referees are favoring other team and the other left nothing to do but accepting

Also some rumors that Players do some “Benta”or “Laglag” in some games in which the some star players are not making good points to make their team lose the specific games

Quote

I like what Chris Ross did in game 2 to take in charge to a unstoppable Terrence Jones. In every piece of minute they always trying to annoyed Terrence Jones as if they can Tongue

That’s what they need to do if they want to win this conference because Jones is simply dominating the championship and if SMB don’t act fast then defeat is what awaits them

We will know tonight, it's gonna be an upset if SMB wins the game since they are not given plus points tonight.
That parlay though has less chance of winning due to it's good odds but we know how PBA works, even the heavy underdog in the past can win a single game against the best teams in the PBA, so SMB as one of the best team has a chance to win against a good team because of a good import.

Mate, you should hope Jones will be ejected again tonight for an easy win, LOL....

They should do that a fair and square game to bring some reputation from the league, it's very tough for every officiating officials to handle this series, Right calls will bring back the dignity of this league, this two super teams deserve a fair series from the league officials, refs needs to watch out and not to allow this fans to be disappointed once more.

Dignity?

Some fans will always e disappointed no matter how the refs perform. Even in an honestly officiated games, expect some error unless video reviews for every call or non-call will be implemented.

It is actually implemented and there's a mandatory review especially for less than 2 minutes in the final regulation. You cant blame the fans as most of the crucial calls were called during the last minutes. And like in NBA, PBA also follows that even the call was changed after the game review, the result will not be changed.

Only SMB fanatics will be blinded by those crucial obvious call happened last Game 2. SMB can win though even there is no obvious calls but since refs messed up, lots of questions arise from their officiating and others now dont see the efforts did of the whole SMB players to get that win. No offense to that. Not rooting for both teams as my Magnolia went to Bora already.
