As an avid basketball fan, I'm getting excited about the current standings in the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA).

As of today, as it stands, the following are the standings:

WL%
1Purefoods      8      3   0.727 
2Rain or Shine      8      3   0.727 
3Talk n Text      8      3   0.727 
4Meralco      6      4   0.600 
5NLEX      6      4   0.600 
6Ginebra      5      5   0.500 
7Alaska      4      6   0.400 
8Barako      4      6   0.400 
9Global Port      4      6   0.400 
10Kia      4      7   0.364 
11SMB      3      7   0.300 
12Blackwater      2      8   0.200 

But since I'm an SMB fan (ever since I was 4 years old), I was wondering if ever my team has a chance of sneaking a spot in the playoffs. As it turns out, there is a slim chance despite the very disappointing season.

And so... I did my own analysis.


So, to explain, the most favorable scenario for my SMB team to qualify for the playoffs is to hope that Alaska and Barako both lose in their last matchups while SMB wins its final match with GlobalPort. In this, it will create a 5-way tie in the 7th to 11th spot. So, the quotient system will be followed.

 As you can see, GlobalPort has the superior quotient of the five teams. So, all they need to do is lose to SMB by a less margin. So what is the margin? Based on my analysis, SMB needs to beat GlobalPort by at least 10 pts. But here is the catch.... they need to allow only at most 75 points. If more than 75 points, then they need to beat them by more than 10 points. The higher the allowed points than 75, the higher the needed margin. So, the lucky number is 75 and 10.

So the possible Scenario are here:
  1. Barako wins, GlobalPort wins, Alaska wins - it will create a 3-way tie, So based on the quotient, since none of them will play against each other in their last matchups, then based on the quotient, GBP has the superior quotient, followed by Barako. Results: GBP - 7th; Barako - 8th
  2. Barako wins, GlobalPort wins, Alaska loses; Results: GBP - 7th; Barako - 8th
  3. Barako wins, GBP loses, Alaska wins; Results: Barako - 7th; Alaska - 8th
  4. Barako wins, GBP loses, Alaska loses; Results: Barako - 7th; GBP - 8th (unless they lose by 29 pts and their score is less than 52; otherwise they need to be beaten by at least 30 points; in this case SMB will qualify as 8th; or if they lose by between 21 to 29, then KIA will be 8th)
  5. Barako loses, GBP wins, Alaska wins; Results: GBP - 7th; Alaska - 8th
  6. Barako loses, GBP wins, Alaska loses: Results: GBP - 7th; Barako -8th (superior quotient vs. Alaska and Kia)
  7. Barako loses, GBP loses, Alaska wins; Results: Alaska - 7th; GBP - 8th (unless; same as no. 4 above)
  8. Barako loses, GBP loses, Alaska loses; Results; GBP - 7th (unless SMB will not get the lucky number 75 and 10; in which case SMB has to beat GBP by at least 47 pts. for KIA to advance); SMB - 8th (if they get the lucky number 75 and 10 or they will be 7th if they beat GBP by at least 29 pts.)
So, here it is... whew! This is tougher to analyze than I thought.

So, I am hoping that my SMB will advance. I want to see Junemar in the playoffs.




Kampihan na!
