Game 2 Preview: Ginebra Aims to Recover From ‘Gulpe de Gulat’ By Alaska

WHAT THIS GAME MEANS

If Alaska wins Game 2, BGSM is on the ropes. If Ginebra wins, then golly, it’s a series!

Remember how Manny Pacquiao staggered Juan Manuel Marquez in the first round of their first fight? That’s practically what Alaska did to the Barangay, and Ginebra wasn’t able to dodge the haymakers. The question now is, going into Game 2, will Coach Alfrancis Chua be able to make technically sound adjustments to recover from the shellacking they got in Game 1 the way JMM countered his way into a draw in that first fight? Will Ginebra display unbelievable resiliency and high adversity quotient the way JMM did?

Or will Alaska show again that they are a flat out better team? Read more »

BY Aaron Atayde

Complete domination.

Right from the get go, Alaska proved to the Philippine basketball world that they wanted Game 1 of this series a whole lot more than Ginebra did. They were hungrier, they were readier, and they were just flat out better on the court. Coach Luigi Trillo had his boys foaming at the mouths with the thought of finally playing in the Finals together and it completely paid off.

CommCup Finals Preview: Alaska Aces vs. Barangay Ginebra San Miguel

BY Robi Raya

Ito na ‘to. This is it.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the PBA Finals! It’s Alaska vs. Ginebra: The Best Team Since Game Zero vs. The Team That Fate Kissed.

I’m already salivating just by mentioning “Alaska vs. Ginebra”. That sounds as sexy as “Mudwrestling: Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler”, and as crazy as “Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. Mankind” in a no holds barred match, yet it also sounds so technically appealing as “Shawn Michaels vs. Bret Hart”. But nay, the action you will see won’t be scripted. It will be as real as the Juan Manuel Marquez right straight that hit the whole country; the only thing though, instead of us getting depressed, I can already feel euphoria.
