Tough stretch ahead for the Bay Area Dragons. This last 4 games (if necessary) would question the depth of this squad. To make things worse, Nicholson should be questionable for the next game onwards.

Maybe a blessing in disguise for them. Highly doubt it that Powell is the answer, but who knows.

The Powell Bay Area Dragons are undefeated right?
 
Gray, Pringle Japhets play making Ginebra look like a team with shallow bench also..bay area isnt just have minutes for duncan reid to play
 
yeah scripted. The Dragons will be sacrificed to show "superiority" of the PBA in game 7 set at Philippine Arena.

I hope you guys are kidding because that’s taking away from the players that actually put the extra effort and dove for looseballs in this game. Yes there may be a couple of questionable calls but it wasn’t exclusive to Ginebra’s favor. The refs actually let BAD play physical in the paint down the stretch and let go of some obvious fouls, most notably on Brownlee.

I’m far from being a PBA fan but I think the officiating isn’t that bad as people suggests. PBA would benefit from having more guest teams around ASAP and as often as possible it would be to their demise to treat BAD horribly right now.

Its the easiest scape goat fouled called difference. Even PBA teams do this. Sometimes its just one team making baskets inside than a jump shooting team. Less fouls are called if you are more a jump shooting team. Aggressiveness do get called more fouls.

Quinito Henson explanation

If youre wondering why Bay Area got only 10 FTs & Ginebra 38 FTs in Game 3, note that Dragons took 41 3s & 35 2s & Ginebra 26 3s & 57 2s! Stats show Bay Area settled while Ginebra didnt & you wont get too many fouls if youre taking 54% of shots from beyond the arc!

lol @quinito the smc tool, feels like this series will go 7 games, they might use that as a dry run for the world cup (event management not the officiating hehe)
 
I didnt see the game so I wasnt going to comment but it seems the BAD players didnt like the officiating. Blankley felt the calls were unfair, or cooked.

With FT and foul disparity looking at FGAs may not explain it fully. It is possible BAD players felt they were being fouled even before they could make a proper attempt so they resort to perimeter shots instead. Not saying this is what happened just that it could.

From some of the PBA series that Ive watched before and from what I saw of the first 2 games, I can say it is likely the PBA is again simulating a home and away series by alternating favorable calls.

It doesnt get noticed in a real home and away series because hometown fans naturally expect all 50/50 calls to be in their favor. Even Michael Jordan feared the Jazz homecourt so much he did everything in his power to finish their series in the Bulls homecourt.

The problem with the PBAs way is they are tilting calls even when there is no home court. As a guest team, BAD rightly expects calls to be fair. They have G1 and G3 that they think were unfavorable to them. Then you have G2 that Gins fans think were unfavorable to them. The problem is for evenly matched teams it might just devolve to who gets the favorable calls wins the match. They might alternate those and call game 7 more or less fairly. This is is good for the PBA, who has a history of "suspicious" alternating lopsided games last the full game 7. But it does nothing for the leagues reputation to outsiders and neutral fans.
