Miller's debut game was 33 points and 22 rebounds. that's a beast of an import.
That's an impressive numbers. For an import to get 22 rebounds in a game, that showed his effort on the floor. This is what the Bolts need, an all around import that knows how to pass the ball. And 13-24 shooting, that's a decent percentage especially against Magnolia who is known for their high pressure defense.
The missing link for the Magnolia here is Paul Lee, as he was only limited to 4 points, from 1-7 shooting. With that number of attempts, he cannot get going since he is a streaky shooter, that could also mean that defense was very focus on him.
Very low scoring game and both are really focus with defense, a great debut for bolts new import like what you mentioned, an all around player who can work well with the locals, someone who really can provide in all aspects of the game, while with magnolia, I didn't expect that they will dominated by the bolts especially in the last period, though they tried to rally back but there's no enough time to complete that attempt.
I think Meralco now has a decent chance of winning a championship. They stick with their brand which is a defensive team and they can also make such good offense with a high percentage shooting. They don't focus a lot on outside shooting, they attack the paint and does have a good ball movement, that's why they are very unpredictable. We've seen what they can do, and that is by beating the number 1 team this season, so we can increase our expectation on this team.
