but you forgot mentioning my all time favorite, big game James is also with them and finally he played some minutes and made some 3's, I miss him a lot hopefully he will start playing back before the season ends. 😉

Missing him too; he was one of the stars I followed, especially during his time with Magnolia Hotshots before he was traded for Paul Lee. James Yap is already a veteran, and I'm glad he's still playing, even if the team doesn't fully utilize him. But, forget about that, what matters now is they had a big win, and perhaps this could be a turning point for them. Maybe they'll start winning consistently from here on?

Big game James Yap is one of my favorites in PBA and we all know that ability of this player, we all know how he handle his temates how he play inside the Court. And the best thing for me and the reason why I admire him is his moves like a 1 hander shot and his three's are too away from the line but still he can manage a big shot. Before he trade for Paul lee James have a good minutes of playing time when thier coach is coach tim which is we are all know how he trust big game in the court.

James Yap is already 41 years, we can already consider him as an old player so we cannot anymore expect that he'll live up his name "big game". We've seen his prime years and we can all agree that he is entertaining to watch, but before he was traded for Paul Lee, he was not anymore producing consistent numbers with Magnolia that time, so it was a bad gamble by ROS to deal with that trade. But anyway, James Yap is still James Yap, he can attract the crowd and that's what helps a team to gather viewers.

Is Fajardo already out for the season? I saw ha had some kind of bandage in his and shoulder in their last game.

Not out of the season yet but per report, he will be out 4 to 6 weeks and with that timeframe, the Beermen should have at least played 10 games already and as we all know that SMB Beermen is not so lethal if they in the twice to beat disadvantage come the quarters.

4 to 6 weeks is like out of the Governor's cup I guess. So that means no more JMF which is tough for the SMB since he is a very dominant big man and their MVP. It's time for the other bigs to step up, maybe Brondial will earn more minutes, and Manuel as well I guess, but I haven't seen him anymore in the line up.

____________________

We have only one game today, finally ROS got their first win, and the spread was -3.5, so they also win that as they won 5 points.

They are due for that win, ROS has just been waiting for the right match up and against the Blackwater, they were the obvious better team, however it wasn't easy for them as they only won by a single digit. I hope from here they'll start winning, however, this is just a young team with only Belga and Gabe who are the old players here that has been in the elimination many times in the past and have won a championship IIRC.

Finally they win though like what you mentioned it's expected win as they are more competitive compared with their opponent, I like the way you mention both Beu and Gabe but you forgot mentioning my all time favorite, big game James is also with them and finally he played some minutes and made some 3's, I miss him a lot hopefully he will start playing back before the season ends. 😉

NLEX +11.5 @1.80 vs Magnolia

Good luck to our bets.

I did not watch the game but I trusted my instinct and bet on Magnolia with spread.

Was a bit worried after the first half because they ended up like a very close game, but I am still confident that Magnolia is going to blow the NLEX in the 2nd half and they didn't fail me, I won my bet because I trusted the team. Such a great team, I think I'll always back them as even with high spread, it's just like nothing to them.

That was a close game until the end of the second quarter but Magnolia managed widen the gap in the third canto and NLEX couldn't catch up anymore. Magnolia is a hot team right now and with Fajardo due to injury, i'm not surprised to see them playing in the Finals this conference.

Well, if the injury of JMF, I think Magnolia's chances of winning a championship is very high. There's Ginebra and TNT, but these team's aren't the same team in the past, while Magnolia continue to keep their core and they have a good import now.

Meanwhile, ROS vs Blackwater are playing now, I have ROS with -3.5 in this game, i'm hoping they'll end their drought tonight.

Good bet kabayan, ATM ROS is having a slim lead.

End of first half, 61-54, ROS ahead, not bad, they should cover.

^^ Speaking of NLEX, they will play in the second game tonight against the hot streaking Magnolia Hotshots.

For sure Chaffee will be tested, too bad that his first game is against on a team who has not lost a game since the PBA-On-Tour tournament.

Magnolia won as expected but looking at the new import of NLEX, that can be a good addition and they just need to play more and have a good team chemistry in the court so they can be more competitive on their up coming games. NLEX has a good line up too that can actually compete even with the top teams, I’m still wondering why they are not winning that much maybe their system is still not that good.

Having a new import during the tournament is not new anymore, and the adjustment should not be a problem to a professional team as they know how to do trainings and deal with this kind of changes. The result was expected because Magnolia is still on a clean record and NLEX is not that good as it hyped. That new import has a good stat and impressive background, hope he can help the team back in winning streak.

They need to keep working hard, as expected Magnolia win the game as they are really doing well as a team, with NLEX new import adjusment needs with the locals, I mean, new import is not an issue as we seen him playing good, it's with the locals who needs to back him up and show him that all of them is with him in winning the game, there should a good chemistry where all of them are enjoying while competing no pressure but a brotherhood that brings that desire to keep improving the game as team.

Spread is high so i'm taking my chances here that Magnolia won't cover the spread but most likely they will win this game.

NLEX +11.5 @1.80 vs Magnolia

NLEX brings in new import Stokley Chaffee in place of Robinson

he is a very young import and you can check his stats here
https://www.proballers.com/basketball/player/205146/stokley-chaffee

It remains to be seen if he could perform on the same level as Robinson, but it's better to gamble and play with a new import than none, right?

So what will happen on their game tonight. NLEX will be playing against Magnolia which is currently the number 1 in ranking, so they'll playing without an import, or they have already found a replacement?

There's this article that says NLEX will bring in new import but they didn't identify who the new import is.

Quote from: Maslate on November 30, 2023, 11:13:03 PM

Judging on lines currently availble, they are +8.5, so it could mean that they have no import, or even if they have an import, I think there will be a chemistry problem and it's hard to win against a Magnolia team which has been very dominant so far.

I think I'm gonna be betting on Magnolia -8.5 here before this line will move.

The line seems justifiable though, NLEX is basically playing without an import if the new import will mess the chemistry. I mean, it could possibly happen since the practice is very short or maybe they haven't practice yet, regardless, it's not expected that the new import will play right away based on the chemistry of the team.

Energetic import of NLEX has been fired, he was a good one but the team decided to let him go.

Typically, no one dare to touch Pido. Politics..politics..politics everywhere on PBA.

This is not new, if you have the money and connections, you can still get out of it no matter what the issue is.
Well, that import deserve a better league and PBA might not meant for him. The PBA should be more strict when it comes to punishing whoever made a serious mistake and not the one who are the victim. This is the problem with PBA until now, there is too much politics and those who are on top always have the influence for every decisions.

They can easily replace an import, but coaches tend to stay in their positions for a long period, especially in the case of Pido, who has been a coach for a while now. However, consider how his team is performing—they aren't winning games, and yet he is still coaching. If this were in the NBA, he would have been fired and replaced a long time ago.

Who are the Bolick fans here? He's not yet going to come back to PBA because he's going to play for the Pilipinas Super League with Davao Occidental Tigers. Well, this isn't for the money because for sure the offer there is lower from a PBA team's offer. I am looking for an article but it's a Facebook page(Basketball Zone) that posted it. So, this is either true or false but still, an interesting coming back for Berto and seems to have some stretching before a whole comeback to PBA.
