Two deserving teams to dispute finals -- analyst
WHILE the San Miguel Beermen and TNT KaTropa facing in the finals of a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) tournament after six years has some “oddness” to it, still there is no denying that the two deserve to face in the championship of the 2017 Commissioner’s Cup and should be counted on to give an exciting series, one local basketball analyst said.
Set to begin tomorrow at the Smart Araneta Coliseum, the Beermen and KaTropa reengage in the finals since the 2011 Governors’ Cup with all arrows pointing to a competitive series considering how both teams made their way to the “Big Dance.”
“If you told me at the start of the tournament that San Miguel and TNT would face in the finals I would say it’s a bit weird. I mean, considering the kind start teams like Alaska, Meralco and Rain or Shine had, apart from the usual contenders, you can point out to a lot of possibilities,” said Levi Verora, Jr. in an interview with BusinessWorld.
“But San Miguel and TNT showed their true worth as the tournament progressed. They are two amazing franchises and deserve to be in the finals. The Beermen have been a staple in the finals of late while TNT struggled last year but it seems it does well in the Commissioner’s Cup,” added the analyst, who writes for SLAM Philippines and covers games of the ASEAN Basketball League (ABL).
Mr. Verora went on to say that the San Miguel-TNT series should be an engaging one as the two teams always “aim for excellence” and play with so much pride.
Key for San Miguel, he said, is to get the most from its core, which has proven itself to be the best in the local pro league.
