Over 21,000 fans inside the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Game 7 of B-Meg vs Talk n' Text Finals in previous conference |
And I just can't recover instantly from that Friday night's game's turn of events. The images and the scenes are still in my imagination, including that Peter June Simon's game-winning-put-back that gave the Big Dome a magnitude 7.6 in Richter-scale, I have those in my dreams.
But they hadn't earned it in an easy way, not to the never-say-die team Barangay Ginebra. Until the last minutes of that action-packed-ballgame, they give us fans a lot of goosebumps and chills in our body. A salute may give, that game was worth the watch.
Then B-meg grabbed the last ticket of the Governor's Cup Finals, and they are back again to the familiar sight, to the familiar atmosphere, to the familiar sound that seems like just a while ago. Welcome to the Finals again.
Losing Joe Devance in a conference and JC Intal in half-way, with Peter June Simon missed also some games, It wasn't that easy for B-Meg to get back on it.
While the young Rain or Shine started the conference strong with that big-body-builded import Jamelle Cornley and Paul Lee, B-Meg hasn't beat them in this conference so far.
Who has the advantage in this match-up?
Yes, B-Meg in fans but Painters in the fresh legs. Yes, B-Meg in experience but Rain or Shine in youthness. Yes, B-Meg in height but ROS in weight.
The series starts tonight, Game number one. Will it be a repeat for B-meg or a new gift for Rain or Shine.
