Topex on Phoenix bubble bid: 'We are going to stay here until December'


Coach Topex and the Phoenix are so determined to beat the TNT, what's do think about this team, do they have a good chance to beat TNT team?
This is going to be the most interesting series in the semi Finals, Abueva and Perkins are always their to help the team and they also have a center who shoots from the 3 points.

If ever, the Bolts vs Kings series might the next notable rivalry in the future like the Manila Clasico. Of course, if they will face each other again several times in the playoffs, and much especially in the finals.

Obviously, not that heavy as Manila Clasico that started way back classic years but knowing these teams already face 3 times in a championship, it's already considered a start of a rivalry.

Btw, odds still not out which is expected.


I will take over instead of you but maybe on Finals.

Also depends on which team will be faced off.

It is a relief now for the fans and the team.

There is now. As I check bitsler's sportsbook, the 2 games are already listed. Go check your references now guys if the books you play at has it already or you can just go to bitsler's bookie.

Wow, Phoenix fans you got to see this  , isn't that tempting?

Jason Castro, IMO is not 100 percent healthy in this series even though he said that he is okay now after that rest and that give some light on Phoenix in this series.

Also on the total score, what do you think guys of the 194.5, isn't that too high considering that this is already a series and defense is more intense?

You are right, the score was too high because the game ended at 95-95, TNT winning.
It was an under game, Phoenix never gave up despite Calvin is in foul trouble and Matthew Wright was injured and only played few minutes.

I hope they will win in game 2, I think this series is gonna reach game 5 if Wright will come back.

Alright, I will remember that strategy.

Meanwhile, BGSM vs Meralco now, and Ginebra seems to be dominating the game but it's still too early though, there's still a 4th quarter to be played and I have already taken the Meralco live, hopefully it will make some miracle to come back and win.

Almost 20 points deficit, BGSM overpower the Bolts with a well shared and balance gameplay, fans surely loves how BGSM played today everyone are contributing whoever inside the court. Explosions over explosions, early first two quarters are close but coming to last few minutes of the first half and the rest of the 2nd half ginebra dominates everything.

With how they've played the game and if there's no adjustment being done from the Bolts side there's  a possibilities that they can
sweep them up and make an early trip to the finals.

Almost a trap for that odds given to Meralco and Phoenix. I was just about to consider putting a bet for Phoenix (even I'm with TNT with this series) because of 2.7 odds and I think that they might defeat TNT in Game 1. But actually, they almost have the edge to beat TNT last night but just came up short in the last minutes. The game was close so it means Phoenix can really match with TNT.

For BGSM vs Meralco, not even a close game. Too bad at those who trust Meralco at Game 1 after badly beating the SMB. Lots of comments on Facebook wherein they put some bets in Meralco because of their win against SMB.

Well, that's gambling, it's expected that we will see that kind of posts especially that Filipinos think that the game was no fair, or they will think it's "BIGAY", but they failed to realize that BGSM is a great team, they are the number 1 if I'm not mistaken.

Let us not overreact though, this is just game one, it even gave a good advantage for the Meralco's odds in game 2 as their odds will increase and those Meralco bettors can chase the odds if they like to.

For me, the best series is the Phoenix vs TNT.
