This Finals is becoming easy to predict. After perfecting my prediction in the first three games, I think game 4 can turn out to be my first mistake.
Everyone is talking about the offense of San Miguel in the last two games but their defense was also awesome. What can Ginebra do to penetrate the San Miguel fortress?
KEY FACTORS
Greg Slaughter
Rebounding
Assists
Coach Tim Cone knows it. San Miguel knows it. Greg Slaughter is the primary key for Ginebra to win this series. So, Greg better stops his silence and start to show up and help Brownlee in pushing Ginebra to a victory.
His 9 points, 4 rebounds 3 assists and 3 turnovers in game 1 will not be enough. They need him to at least provide 16 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
Rebounding is vital because both teams need to feed a lot of capable scorers. San Miguel was able to provide 10 or more shots to six different players.
Lastly, assists will provide a picture of how both squads run their offenses. Marcio Lassiter and Alex Cabagnot carried the majority of the playmaking duties in game 3 and they combined for 17 assists. Ginebra should be able to find a consistent playmaker in game 4.
PREDICTION
I really believe that Greg will have at least one huge game in this series. Game 4 could finally be the match. I hope he will be more selfish in this game and try to force his way to the basket more.
Coach Tim Cone is so good that betting for him to lose three straight games is not wise. I think Ginebra will slow it down, run a lot of set plays as coach Tim strengthen his control over the play of his team.
Ginebra will win this game that can turn out to be the closest in this series.
