Ginebra is up against a team who's experiencing a four-game losing skid (current record: 3-7) and San Mig Super Coffee's (I just feel that the "Super" thing to their team's name is a bit off, I don't know hahaha) last lost to Rain Or Shine Elastopainters was that bad, Coach Tim Cone decided not to talk for the whole 2nd half. Imagine the terror that the players felt at that game. While the Barangay is enjoying a six game winning streak (current record: 9-1), and their last game was a pretty historic game, escaping their first round tormentors Meralco Bolts via Japeth Aguilar's buzzer beater three-pointer.
What to expect:
For San Mig Coffee: SMC wants to win this game and their next two games in order for them not to be in the bottom of the cellar. They want to bounce back to their horrific loss. The Coffee Mixers will rely to their veterans especially to James Yap and PJ Simon to provide the team's offense, Mark Barroca to set the team up and Joe De Vance and Marc Pingris to bring hustle to their squad. This is also a game for Ian Sangalang, to prove that he can set aside his desire to be a Ginebra player and to contribute to the team that he's in now. (Issue maker lang ako hahahahahaha but he's doing well in SMC and he's adapting to the triangle with ease)
For Barangay Ginebra San Miguel: With their record as good looking as Greg Slaughter, the Kings have the tendency to lax and to under-perform but Aguilar reassured the fans that their focus is the Championship and they'll do their best to win any ball game, at all cost.
A team who's fighting to survive and a team who's competing for supremacy. Who will win this Manila Clasico 2014? Let's just see. ;)
Who do you think will take the W? Let me know! :)
