It's the offense of TNT vs. the defense of Meralco. If Meralco can dictate the tempo, then we might see an upset.
TNT is pretty dominant on this game, I'm expecting a close game here unfortunately its not looking good for Meralco. Too bad I placed a bet to Meralco going against the odds, well this is just a game 1 and Meralco have to do some magic here so they can at least have a win against TNT.
TNT is the top team for a reason and going against the odds is very risky, better luck next time mate and see if Meralco still have the chance to get a win here but I think TNT will not give it easily. If ever, TNT vs GINEBRA in the finals will be a blockbuster and this is what I'm looking forward to.
That first game between the 2 has been a one-sided match I should say. A dominating win for the TNT. I don't think Meralco have the pieces to defeat TNT right now. I mean they're a star-studded team as well like SMB or Ginebra out there, so I predict that TNT will win on this series in 4 games. It was a collective effort for the TNT as 5 players scored in double digits lead by their import who has 22 points. Their import, Hollis-Jefferson really isn't a good three-point shooter as he isn't attempting that much, but he's a great one in terms of perimeter shooting.
