Yes, TNT played with RHJ bro, but unfortunately, they were beaten by ROS, not bad for the new RHJ 50 points for this game just needed some added support to win the game. Oftana alone for the locals might not be enough. They need more scorers. Not sure but adjustments might be needed for this team as it's not going to work especially if they are playing against their rival companies, that kind of individual stats will not work with the teams who always showcase team work.
They are not playing like a team, I don't understand why their 3 point shooting was not present in this game. Of course, because their import and Oftana are the only players that has been carrying the team, they are expected to get tired in the 4th, and that's what happened as TNT just can't find their shots in the 4th quarter. But then, since they are on a twice to beat advantage, there's still one game remaining, they should get that one.
I think the quarter finals hasn't started yet, they are still in a elimination games and other teams still has some games to play.
Meanwhile, we have the magnolia nd Meralco playing. Meralco with a different import and they are leading big already in the 4th quarter now.
Meralco won this game with their new import. Lofton is out, Miller is in, and what I like about Miller is that he is a good team player. I know we can all agree that Lofton is a great import, but the kind of play he brings to the PBA is one on one basket, that will not help Meralco in big games like what just recently finished.
Miller's debut game was 33 points and 22 rebounds. that's a beast of an import.
I noticed, it seems like PBA are very serious with their out of town games, they probably see a need to get the attention of the fans again.
You can tell by looking at the venue, people are not watching anymore in Manila, so they want to bring that hype again and they'll start by having more out of town games. I hope it's not too late yet for them.
