This is a good series, and might reach to 7 games.

Yup!

I'm pretty happy with the SMB's ball movement this time. Outside shooters dropping 3's while Fajardo was also moving well and scoring inside the paint. I hope SMB's multiple championship experience will prevail in Games 5,6, or 7 (if needed).

Down to 3 games only, and I think I already saw the pattern of this game, next winner will be TNT then SMB, then TNT, so in short, it will be TNT that will be the champion this season? Would you agree with that?

Honestly, I got shocked on what happen because as I watched the 1st half TNT is up by one. And then after I ate my dinner, SMB got a 2 digit lead suddenly Shocked

. WTF happened? Though TNT was able to get close to them, it still not enough especially after Trollano's travelling violation and Castro's lose ball error. Haay, I thought it would be a 3-1 already but I was wrong *sigh. Anyway, good job for SMB this time. They prove that they are the strongest at this moment so congrats

Tonight SMB won the game and the series is tied at 2 a piece, SMB are really good in distracting Jones and he got 1 technical in this game, hopefully the next game he will be more focus and will take the lead in the series.

Overall it's a fun game because I also won my bet at TNT/SMB full time.

Tonight they are going to announce the best import and the best player of the conference, Fajardo and Castro have a big shot of winning, and I believe Jones would clearly win the best import award.

Jones is the clear choice for the best import award and it's a no brainer as Jones is a super import of some sort, we have a rare import of Jones caliber.

Jason Castro for me is the Best Player of the conference awardee since Junemar already got the BPC award last All-Filipino conference.

I think the winner for the best import is Terrence Jones, 2nd choice is Justin Brownlee.
In the best player conference award, I would go with the article below.

https://www.foxsports.ph/basketball/pba/1029453/parks-perez-lead-bpc-contention-jones-tops-choice-for-best-import/

I'm picking Ray Parks to win.

I will go for Fajardo since Jun2 did the great part in this whole conference

Though Castro has also potential specially those last few games when he is the one that helped the team a lot

Ray Parks is good as well but not enough to get this seasons award,maybe in next conference we’ll see what he can improve to be deserving for the award

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

.

Fajardo landed more than 3 times of elbow swing to Jones' body and the last swing made him go into the ground. I'm a SMB fan but to be honest, I don't want how SMB is playing right now. Dirty plays + Chris Ross' flops. This will go in 7 games so Game 4 will go to SMB or maybe TNT and in Games 5-6 will be for SMB. More Games = More income Wink

Fajardo didn't intentionally threw that elbow to hurt Jones and Jones even said on the post game interview that Junemar was just trying to aggresive. Fajardo is not a dirty kind of player and he is even the recipient of the hard fouls and he never complained too much to the ref.

Refs got to control the game early and those flops should be given sanctions too. The way i see it, SMB is not playing dirty, they are just physical on Jones trying to get under is skin and spoiled his game focus.

He is not a dirty player and I agree with that, I can't even remember about fajardo having a technical foul or a flagrant foul, he can be beast mode in the court but will not intentionally hurt any player.

Tonight they are going to announce the best import and the best player of the conference, Fajardo and Castro have a big shot of winning, and I believe Jones would clearly win the best import award.

The way I see it, if refs will not favor the SMB, this series could end shorter than 7 games, sorry to be bias because I'm betting on the TNT to win in the series. Fajardo's style was never change, that's the same style he use even with other conference but Ross and Stand are obviously changing their strategy, they are flopping and they are trying to get into the head of Jones.

Line for game 3 is already available, TNT is still the favorites to win.

SMB @ 2.27 - TNT @ 1.59 ( moneyline)
SMB +3.5 - TNT -3.5 (point spread)..

I like TNT but I maybe would pass in this game, if SMB wins, I would bet with TNT in game 5.

Why pass

? TNT @1.59 is not bad, they would finish this series early as players were already exhausted and they have to prepare for the FIBA world cup after this so the sooner the better for this championship to end. Kidding aside, i am raising my white flag now as a fan of SMB and will bet for TNT on the remaining games.

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.

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
