It is time to give our prediction for the playoff matches between San Miguel Beermen and Terrafirma Dyip and TNT versus Rain or Shine.
SAN MIGUEL VS TERRAFIRMA
Isaac Go
Three-point shooting
3rd quarter
The elimination game between San Miguel and Terrafirma was close and a big factor there was the good performance of Go. He produced 21 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
San Miguel is a deadly three-point shooting team but they also gave up the most number of three-point shots made per game.
Knowing the advantage of San Miguel in terms of experience, the 3rd quarter will be an important one for Terrafirma if they want to shock the PBA universe.
Prediction
I hope this series will be a 3-games series. With the twice-to-beat edge of San Miguel and with their massive advantage in talent, they will win this one.
TNT VS RAIN OR SHINE
Three-point shooting
Beau Belga
Bench
Rain or Shine is known for having a deep bench because of the coaching style of coach Yeng. Even TNT knows that they need to overcome the depth of Rain or Shine.
Belga is a monster in this tournament. If they want to defeat TNT, he needs to be a monster too. He needs to be that focal person of their offense.
Outside shooting will be crucial for them knowing that both squads are in the top 4 of three-pointers made per game. It was also the reason why Rain or Shine loss in their elimination round game.
Prediction
This is easily the most interesting match-up in the quarterfinals for me. It is not only because they seems to be the hardest to predict but because of their styles.
I do not think TNT is playing in a high level right now. While Rain or Shine is playing in a high level. I will go with the Painters sustaining their form and getting the series.
