Commissioner's Cup 2018 Finals: San Miguel Versus Ginebra

Ginebra finished off Rain or Shine in Game 4 of their semi-finals match up to grab the last seat to the Commissioner's Cup 2018 Finals. The San Miguel Beermen already took the first seat last Sunday when they won against Alaska. Despite these two teams being lower seeded during the eliminations, I think that many fans and analysts somehow expected this match-up was going to happen and I feel that these two teams are still considered the top teams in the PBA, with San Miguel winning this years Philippine Cup and Ginebra winning last year's Governor's Cup.

Justin Brownlee and Reynaldo Balkman may have been teammates on Alab Pilipinas, but they are now rivals in this Finals match-up. And imports are critical in this series. I'm not sure if Reynaldo is 100% since he appears to have been hurt in the SMB-Alaska semis. Brownlee has proved to be deadly in the Ginebra-ROS series, and has the edge of having a 3-point shot and being clutch, so I would say Ginebra has the edge over SMB in terms of the imports.

Jeff Chan has found his shooting touch with Ginebra. Marcio Lassiter has had some games where he scores big and some games where he scores little. But both shooters are positives for their respective teams when they are on the court. So I would say that this match-up is an even one.

LA Tenorio has had a hard time against SMB's guards. Coach Leo Austria usually uses Brian Heruela to match well against LA's speed. Chris Ross has the height advantage over Tenorio, but I really am not sure Ross can take advantage of this at the post. Hopefully, Chris Ross' 3-point shooting continues on in the Finals. Otherwise, if LA has those games where he scores in bunches, SMB will be in a lot of trouble. LA also is clutch, just like Brownlee, and this can give Ginebra the edge in close game situations.

Jun Mar Fajardo is undoubtedly the best center in the PBA today. But Greg Slaughter would want to change the status quo. Slaughter has proven to be one of the centers that can guard Jun Mar well so I'm thinking the two will cancel each other out in this series.

Japeth Aguilar was a scoring beast when Slaughter was out. I was even surprised that he wasn't as explosive in the ROS series, but perhaps this is due to his injury. Stanhardinger has yet to have a really explosive game in the post eliminations. I'm not even sure if Stanhardinger will be used to match up with Aguilar, or against Slaughter or Joe Devance. Among forwards, Joe Devance has the 3-point edge. So maybe matching Arwind Santos against Devance is more likely. Even Kelly Nabong can enter this conversation. And Kevin Ferrer. But I guess matching heft against heft will be key in the forward match-ups so that neither team gains a significant advantage down low. So the team that gains the edge is the team that can maximize their forward's advantage beyond the perimeter.

Scottie Thompson has been a special player for Ginebra. He's like a Dennis Rodman at the guard position. He is also an energy guy for the team. Maybe Chris Ross will be matched up against him.

Sol Mercado and Alex Cabagnot will probably be matched against each other, too. Sol Mercado has some games where he just scores in bunches. So does Alex Cabagnot. Hopefully, they will cancel each other out.

As for bench players, it could also go either way because both benches have a lot of talented players. Maybe Julian Sargent will be showcased in this series. Matt Ganuelas-Rosser can probably be matched against him. Jet Manuel could also show up. Maybe Vigil could match well against him.

Tim Cone is the coach with the most wins in the PBA. Leo Austria is the coach with the most wins in the last 3 seasons of the PBA. It will be nice to see how each adjusts to the other's strategies and tactics.

SMB is the defending champion of the Commissioner's Cup. Ginebra hasn't won a Commissioner's Cup since 1997. In terms of hunger as a motivation, you could say that Ginebra is hungrier. But SMB fans are hoping this will be the Beermen's Grandslam year. And in order to do that, they have to win the Commissioner's Cup.

These are just some of the things that will make this best-of-seven series exciting. And the PBA fans are the winners in this match-up, with each game being a potential thriller.

San Miguel Gives Alaska Hope

Having a 2-0 lead, you'ld think that the San Miguel Beermen would close out their semifinals series against the Alaska Aces. But instead of finishing off their opponent, San Miguel has given the Aces a chance to tie the series on Sunday. This, despite the Aces being undermanned and undersized.

The Beermen were sloppy in the waning minutes of the 3rd Quarter. They were mounting a comeback, being down nine points. They even cut the Aces lead down to 3 points. But Balkman uncharacteristically made a lot of careless turnovers for an NBA caliber player. Blame it on fatigue, perhaps, since he never got any rest from the 1st to the 3rd Quarter.

I don't know why the Beermen like to give their opponents a double digit lead early in the game. But this has turned into a habit since they have been able to catch up and win most of the games anyway. But today was not one of those days. Perhaps they Beermen were already too focused on who they would be facing in the finals, and their mistake was taken advantage of by Alaska. Alaska might even enter the finals if the Beermen are not careful. So SMB should refocus, take one game at a time, and make sure that they aren't thinking of anything else but the win for that game.

The Aces will be known as the team that the Beermen won over during their Beeracle Run. The Beermen were down 0-3 and were on the brink of being swept by the Aces, but the Beermen were able to win 4 straight games, the first time in basketball history.

The Aces will never change history, but perhaps they would want to do the same thing to the Beermen. Coming back from a 0-2 deficit in a 5 game series would definitely be easier compared to coming back from a 0-3 deficit.

The main threats to SMB are Diamon Simpson and Vic Manuel. If they are not going to stop Simpson, since Simpson seems to be able to have his way, at least they should prevent Manuel and other locals from scoring easily. Manuel already had a slight fever during the game, and still scored more than twenty points. Reminds me of the time Michael Jordan had the flu, but never gave up and fought for the win for Chicago.

The Beermen have to do a better job on defense. Stanhardinger and Balkman should focus on the intangibles instead of being the first option on scoring. If you look at the past games where Fajardo, Cabagnot, Lassiter, Santos and Ross played as the core five, they would always rotate the ball and find the open man. Sometimes, the Beermen rush offensive plays with Stanhardinger and Balkman which leads to careless errors and turnovers.

The Beermen also needs another guard in their rotation so that Cabagnot, Ross and Lassiter could get some rest. It is good that Heruela and Lanete were able to play. Perhaps give other shooting guards a chance. Coach Leo Austria could actually try a speedier line up to counter Alaska's press and pressure defense by having 4 guards with Jun Mar Fajardo. Having both Fajardo and Stanhardinger at the same time on the floor is simply too slow. Those two should alternate if Stanhardinger is really forced to play. But SMB was able to enter the semis with Stanhardinger injured. Perhaps he should sit out this series and let faster players like Ganuelas-Rosser and Arwind Santos play the 4 spot to give Balkman much needed rest during certain points in the game. Nabong could also replace Fajardo so that he, too could get some rest.

Alaska isn't a team with large players like Rain or Shine or Ginebra. You don't need to use Stanhardinger just because he is your prized rookie. He might be part of San Miguel's future core. But for now, stick with the veteran players who have been tried and tested in winning championships.

As for rumors of a Calvin Abueva for Christian Stanhardinger trade, I would just keep Stanhardinger. He hasn't been integrated well with the team yet, but even SMB's core had to learn how to play together, and that did not happen overnight. Stanhardinger should hone his defense. Perhaps Fajardo and Santos could teach the rookie how to defend well. Once his defense improves, his offense will probably follow. But I would utilize him as an import stopper. It would be great if he could be a Freddie Abuda type of player for SMB.

Abueva is already old and has too many issues that having him on the team might create more chaos than win games. Alaska should definitely trade him to another team. Alaska needs size, and maybe Rain or Shine or Blackwater would be willing to trade their big men for the beast. Even Phoenix might want to trade Eriobu for Abueva. Or Jackson Corpuz. Or Jonathan Grey. I would probably even look for a quality point guard for Alaska to succeed the aging Casio. But Alaska should build around Teng and Manuel, and move on from Abueva. They've reached the semis without the beast, so not having him around is probably better for the team.

SMB Draws First Blood in Best-of-Three Commissioner's Cup Quarterfinals

It takes a different kind of mental toughness to win a game where you find yourself more than twenty points down in the 1st Quarter, and your shots are not going in. But that is just what the San Miguel Beermen did in their first battle against TNT.

TNT was beating SMB at their own specialty - the three-point shot. SMB usually has three players who can shoot the three consistently - Alex Cabagnot, Marcio Lassiter, and Arwind Santos. But in this particular game, the threes were falling for TNT but not for SMB. Even Kelly Williams, TNT's power forward who is known for his alley-oop finishes has added the three-point shot to his arsenal. Most of TNT's players can shoot from beyond the arc, including forwards Don Trollano and Anthony Semerad.

But SMB has a "no quit" attitude. I would even say that they actually embody their sister team's never say die attitude more. (Ginebra owns that slogan). I've seen a lot of come from behind wins by this particular SMB core since 2015 which is probably one of the reasons why they have a lot of respect from their fans.

Still, SMB has to improve its free-throw and three-point shooting. There might be days like today when despite their dismal performance, they were able to come up with a win. But there are a lot of good teams in this late stage of the Commissioner's Cup, and they might regret not sharpening their skills when the game is close and every point counts. And SMB ought to learn to use some of their players off the bench at critical points in the game. I am hoping they can give MGR and Pessumal more confidence during periods when Ross, Cabagnot or Lassiter are shooting blanks in the field. Good thing Heruela is being used at this time to give Cabagnot and Ross some rest.

Now that SMB has a 1 game lead, they should prepare well for Game 2 and finish the series then if possible. You don't want TNT to be able to bounce back and even this series. TNT simply has too much firepower that it should never be taken lightly.
