THE PBA Commissioners Cup postseason cast may have already been completed, but a lot of movement is still bound to happen after the last day of the elimination round on Friday at the Smart-Araneta Coliseum.

Only Star, which caught the last bus to the playoffs after its 86-73 win over Mahindra on Wednesday, is affixed among all the quarterfinals-bound teams, being in the eighth spot, waiting for the squad that will finish at No. 1.

Here are the standings for the postseason participants as of Thursday:

Meralco 8-3

SMB 7-3

GIN 7-4

ROS 7-4

Alaska 6-4

TNT 6-4

NLEX 5-5

Star 5-6

And heres the schedule for the last playdate of the eliminations at the Big Dome.

4:15 p.m.: Alaska vs NLEX

7 p.m.: Tropang TNT vs San Miguel Beer

There are four scenarios left. Two of the four scenarios will see the quarterfinals start right away on Sunday, while the other two scenarios will see a playoff happening to determine the No. 2 seed that stakes a twice-to-beat advantage in the first round.

The top two seeds face the seventh and eighth seeds, respectively, while the third seed takes on the sixth seed, and the fourth and fifth seeds face off in a best-of-three series.

If Alaska and SMB win:

SMB 8-3

Meralco 8-3

Alaska 7-4

GIN 7-4

ROS 7-4

TNT 6-5

NLEX 5-6

Star 5-6

The Beermen will claim the top seed and a twice-to-beat edge in the quarterfinals against sister side Star. Meralco gets second spot and the other win-once incentive against sister squad NLEX. Alaska finishes at third and takes on Tropang TNT, while Ginebra and Rain or Shine square off.

If Alaska loses and SMB wins:

SMB 8-3

Meralco 8-3

GIN 7-4

ROS 7-4

Alaska 6-5

TNT 6-5

NLEX 6-5

Star 5-6

The top two seeds are the same as in the first scenario.

But a complication arises among the bottom seeds with Alaska, Tropang TNT, and NLEX finishing in a tie at 6-5.

PBA chief statistician Fidel Mangonon III said it depends on how many points NLEX beats Alaska, but the current point differential favors Alaska (+8) over TNT (-3) and NLEX (-5).

If that stays, Ginebra will finish third and face TNT, ROS stays at fourth and take on Alaska, while the top seeds face NLEX and Star, respectively.

If Alaska wins and SMB loses:

Meralco 8-3

Alaska 7-4

TNT 7-4

GIN 7-4

SMB 7-4

ROS 7-4

NLEX 5-6

Star 5-6

This is the first of two scenarios that requires a playoff for the second seed.

Meralco stays atop and faces Star, then a five-way tie for second spot arises, with Alaska and TNT having the superior quotient and facing each other for the second seed and the second twice-to-beat edge against NLEX. The playoff loser settles for a best-of-three affair against Rain or Shine, while Ginebra and SMB square off.

If Alaska and SMB lose:

Meralco 8-3

TNT 7-4

Gin 7-4

SMB 7-4

ROS 7-4

NLEX 6-5

Alaska 6-5

Star 5-6

The Bolts remain at No. 1 against the Hotshots, while TNT and Ginebra face will have to face off for the second seed and a meeting against Alaska. The loser faces NLEX in a best-of-three encounter, while the Beermen takes on the Elasto Painters.

 

because we are ginebra fans we'd like alaska and smb to lose.

Sa ganitong scenario, parang mas gusto ko pang manalo ang Alaska at SMB mamaya. Para ROS ang katapat sa best of three. Lagi kasing kontrapelo pag Alaska ang katapat eh.

May punto ka diyan chief but wouldn't it be nice also to have a twice to beat advantage?

[azraelmd]

Kontrapelo din tayo sa RoS...lagi tayong talo sa kanila sa playoffs...

 

 

Altho medyo nde pa gaano kalakas import nila since nagpalit ulit ng import ang RoS....

 

Hmn...which is which? Pero tama si junix...it would be nice having that twice to beat advantage...

lahat kasi ng team na nakapasok chief wala kang itatapon. ultimo star pwedeng makasilat. so maganda talaga having that twice to beat advantage. pero wala na sa bgk ang bola. umaasa na lang tayo sa resulta ng mga laro.

[azraelmd]

Ala na....nanalo alaska....minsan sobrang ballhog si thornton eh...daming mapapasahan sa last two minutes...pero pinipilit nya...hayyy...

 

So either SMB or RoS makakalaban natin....

Sa ngayon, since nanalo na ang Aces, I'd rather na manalo na ang SMB kesa naman sila pa makatapat natin sa best of three. Between ROS and SMB, i like our chances vs. Guiao's team basta walang dayaan.

[*kalel*]

Officially out na ang gins sa top 2... ok lang kasi para maging 2 ka, dadaan ka pa sa play off... nadagdagan pa ng 1 laro imbes na 2 na lang

Yup...plus papalit palit ng import ngayon ang RoS....ayaw ko lang pagkatapat natin RoS...papabantay kay belga si OJ...para maiinis at mawala na naman sa laro si OJ...just like what abueva did....magkasinlaki pa mandin sina OJ and belga...

 

Pero i feel makalusot lang sa first round ang ginkings tuloy tuloy na yan...kahit sino pa ang makakalaban...

[doinksdoinks]

I like our chances against ROS. SMB kc champion team yan very dangerous

[vienvenido]

Gogo bgk .....

I concur, malakas ang smb, prolific ang import, pero napuna ko parang hirap si Wilkerson pag madaming malalaki ang kalabang team/s, sa tnt kagabi hirap s'ya dahil andyan ang import tapos me K-Will at Tautuaa pa, para sa akin sana lang masilat sila ng star hehe

Tingin ko 'di inaasahan ni Jeffers na ganun ang magiging ploy ng ros o ni belga sa kanya, hopefully this time around natuto s'ya doon hehe, isang linggo yata nanakit ang likod/balakang ni Jeffers after ng game nila against ros noon

Goodluck tom sa game
