Sinuman ang manaig sa Game Three ng PBA Commisioner’s Cup Finals, iba-iba ang nabubuong kuro-kuro mula sa mga magagaling na coaches ng liga.

Ayon kay Air21 Express coach Franz Pumaren, “No team has an advantage. It remains even as the series has indicated.”

Pareho naman ang naging sagot ni Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio na dating tinulungan ang Purefoods (ngayon ay B-Meg) makuha ang tatlong championship titles, “Right now, wala pang may advantage. It’s really hard to tell at this stage because it’s really even.”

“It’s even-steven,” pahayag naman ni NU Bulldogs coach Eric Altamirano na dating PBA coach.

 Maliban sa tatlong nauna, iba ang nakikita ni Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao sa bakbakan ng Talk ‘N Text at B-Meg.

“I’m giving B-MEG the slight edge because of the hunger factor. They’re definitely the hungrier team. B-MEG is also a fresher team. The more number of games might have taken its toll on Talk ‘N Text and the team has been in the finals for the fifth straight conference so the motivation factor might not be as high as before,” sabi ni Guiao.

“I believe if the series get longer, fatigue might affect Talk ‘N Text’s chances, which is why I’m picking B-Meg,” dagdag pa niya.

Sinang-ayunan naman ni Pumaren si Guiao, “Short series will favor Talk ‘N Text. It might not survive the wear and tear once the series goes the distance.”

“Kung aabot ng Game Seven, sigurado Talk ‘N Text ang may bentahe,” pagtatapos ni Altamirano. (John Alfrick C. Cruz)
