Game 7's are rare things, so let's all hope that the zebras call it fair and consistent the whole game ...... no cheap, ticky-tacky calls please.
I'd still give the edge to SMB - like I always say, theirs is a lineup bought and unfairly built and maintained to win championships ...... anyone on their ultra-loaded roster can score and contribute, so that's always an advantage.
ALASKA's only hope is to defend like they always have and keep it close enough to steal it at the second half ...... they should play fast whenever possible and hope that SMB struggles on those outside shots.

http://www.spin.ph/basketball/news/kim-henares-danby-san-miguel-assistant-team-manager-pba-finals-alaska-philippine-cup-bir-chiefOn a sidenote, it's very ironic and troubling that Kim Henares' husband is team manager of SMB (IIRC he was with SMCorp farm team AIR21 before).
It's IMPOSSIBLE that SMB (together with PFOODS, BGK and the MVP teams) can maintain an ultra-loaded roster and coaching stable without exceeding the PBA salary cap.
Since these teams offer side-contracts / under-the-table-deals to their players, that's income tax evasion right there ...... daang matuwid ba ito, Mrs. Henares ?
