That is also one of the good things when you are adding many players to the team and knowing that some of the players of the Dyip are young an they got 2 first round picks as well. As long as these players will not go to another team, their chemistry will be built overtime and they might be a playoff contender at that time. I just hope that SMC and MVP will not milk these young players.

I'm a SMB fan but I hate these 2 companies because they are killing the competitiveness of the league. Money over competitiveness is what is on their mind. Anyway, Perez isn't felt in SMB because of their all-star players but give him time and he will be one of the top scorers of the team. Maybe it is not now but maybe in 1-3 years.

He doesn't need to make a double-digit, we know he is capable, and in this game that's their strategy. He just dominated the inside with his rebounding ability, and the TNT which was the best team in the conference has already tasted a loss for the first time.

Bad shooting night for TNT, they only scored 67 points for a team that is good offensively.
Looks like we are already in a playoff atmosphere here. 

Money compared to competitiveness takes away the enjoyment of the game in my opinion. You can always buy better players if you have the budget but seeing a team build chemistry over time and seeing them playing with that crisp-chemistry is on a whole another level of enjoyment. Yes, I love to see the best players playing on the field but I also love to see the insane chemistry plays of these teams.

I agree, JMF doesn't have to force himself to score double-digit points as of this time because a lot of his teammates are offensive machines. Grabbing 17 17 rebounds is not a thing that a player would do every night even if you are the tallest player so that's already a big help already for the team.

Meanwhile, the hottest team Dyip will be playing against Phoenix and the odds are almost even but I have to bet for the latter here because Dyip, as i've said before, is not yet consistent on winning games.

My picks:

Phoenix -1.5 @1.86
Northport Batang Pier -6.5 @1.95.

GL everyone and enjoy.

 

The biggest company that handles a lot of teams in the PBA, looks like a monopoly for these two big giants that's why PBA is less exciting to watch. they struggle on the high expenses on this pandemic, I think it's time for them to open the league for more team owners so there will be more teams playing and that will add the excitement to the fans, I just missed the old PBA though.


looks like an easy pick as Blackwater is still 0 until now.

DYIP hot run is finally over, 

Phoenix Fuelmasters defeated the DYIP by 12 points, the score is 96-84.\

Perkins finally exploded with 28 big points while Manuel added 18 points, seeing this 2 big man contributing with good numbers of the team, it will make them a better team not fully relying on Mathew Wright.

Congrats to the winners

They can't keep up the winning streak for so long because they are not the best team in the league, Phoenix needs a win and they have a good win against the hottest team. What's important is DYIP still has a chance to play in the elimination if they will win the next games. No team is perfect at the moment, so we can't expect a team that is in the bottom will just continue to win, the law of average is happening here.

This is normal because Tiongson, after that high scoring game of him is already a marked man, meaning he will be depended well and it is up to his teammates to step up for them to continue winning but as you have said, they are not consistent on winning games so a lose is kinda expected.

I'm 2-0 for today, not bad  .

We have an interesting game tomorrow between SMB and Ginebra with the former as the favorite to win but i;m still rooting for them to bag the win for this game tomorrow.

SMB -2.5 @1.93, my lone pick for tomorrow.

First congrats for winning both of your picks, that's really sweet as you anticipate things correctly!

in regard to Tiongson, you are right he's already been marked by every team after that good game against SMB
and BGSM as he managed to lift the team high by contributing enough to snatch the game away from the two favorites.

DYIP needs to win to continue their chance to move to the next round.


I'll watch this up and try to bet during the live game, both teams are explosives, very tough to pick right away.

Good luck though!
