Mikey Williams might have an advantage over Chris Ross in this series because the latter is not yet fully recovered from his injury, that might also the reason why Ross has limited minutes in the series against Bolts. But it's okay since SMB Beermen also got the advantage on their bigs, Poy Erram is no match against Fajardo down low so this will be an even and exciting match with no team has a clear advantage over the other.
Adding to that advantage is also the age in between these two players, Ross is no longer on his prime while Williams as what we are seeing from his current games, though on the other side, like what you are mentioning Erram ain't enough for Fajardo that inside matchup would be the advantage of SMB while outside might be the focus of TNT. If Romeo is not injury, it would really be a good offensive matchup as he will add more threat outside together with Lassiter.
Well, I like SMB to be the underdog so the odds will be attractive. It's hard to predict, to be honest, and I believe that this series will reach game 7 which is good as it will entertain the fans. They are evenly matched, however, based on experience, I think TNT is more experience as some of the starters of SMB are just new to the team.
This is also what i'm afraid of because some of the starters of SMB are new to the team and championship poise and experience is not yet there. Though Chriss Ross is available to play but he is not 100 percent healthy so expect Cruz and Enciso to man the point haeavily. I've alreay said in my previous post that Mikey Williams will have his moment in this series due to Ross' limited minutes and i don't think Cruz could limit his offensive output, so yeah this series would be unpredictable which what the fans are looking for.
Anyone who would like to bet for TNT, just quote this post as i have some extra money for betting for the SMB Beermen.
I guess it will not be Cruz that will be guarding Williams but will be Enciso. The highlights below shows how dominant the SMB against the TNT,

TNT already established their confidence and from that last games we have seen more good rotations that they developed especially during the Semis, Erram, Castro and Poguy are producing good numbers, the offense might still start with Williams but those three stars are always there to help Williams.
