Could it be a day of upsets? Air21 led wire-to-wire and beat SMB, 92-79 to force a do-or-die on Friday. Magawa rin kaya ng Ginebra?
SMB needs a veteran leader on their team. Someone who can calm them down and rally them. Guys in the same mold of Alapag, Hontiveros and Taulava. The teams that won championships the past few conferences had that type of guy in their team, may it be a player or coach. TNT has tons of them. San Mig has them in their coaching staff. Tim Cone, Johnny A, Racela, Alvin, Cariaso. Alaska has Dondon, Dela Cruz, Belasco. RoS has Yeng Guiao. SMB doesn't have anyone on that team who could do the same thing.
