Finals Preview: Powerade Tigers ROAR to the Finals

The team has ousted B-MEG, #1 placed team during the Quarterfinals by beating them twice, they have also ousted Rain-Or-Shine in a 7 game series and they've made it to Finals.


Enroute to Digos, Powerade Tigers made fans proud and non-believers believe as they set up a match with the defending champion, Talk and Text Tropang Texters. 



POWERADE CORE : DMC (David, Marcio, Casio) 

Gary David has proven his all-season long brilliance for Powerade and he was there delivering the goods when the team needed it the most. He's also my hands down choice for BPC. Expect him to lead the Tigers in their quest for a championship. I hope you did vote for him for the Veterans for the All-Star game, It would be a shame if you didn't, He deserves to finally have a slot there.

Marcio Lassiter and Jvee Casio both used their Smart Gilas experience to their advantage. Marcio, the 2011 4th Pick was able to show non-believers that he would not disappear during big games by delivering 30 pts in 2 games (this is how I remember it) during the Semifinals series against the Rain-or-Shine Elasto Painters. He is also Mr. Do-It-All by stopping players from opposing teams to score and finding breaks for his team mates.

Jvee Casio, the top rookie of the 2011 draft started out flat with injuries and all but as the conference progressed, he used his experience that differentiated him from other rookies, "Gilas", He delivered as they close out the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters last night, I guess it also ended the Paul Lee hype, that there was the reason why Powerade chose Jvee instead. His leadership on the court feeds off to his team, he just doesn't find a way to score, he finds his open team mates for the shot. 

POWERADE CREW: Doug Kramer, Rommel Adducul, Will Antonio, Alex Crisano, Sean Anthony, Josh Vanlandingham, Francis Allera, James Martinez, Rudy Lingganay 

The supporting crew for Powerade is not the same of the star-studded teams, but their team chemistry is pretty much evident with the way they move the ball, find ways to score and stopping their opponents. Expect them to be around for the series against TNT. They can match up well with the likes of Dillinger, Peek, Carey, Williams and the rest of the Tropang Texters. 

IN THE SPOTLIGHT: Powerade Coach Bo Perasol 

Bo Perasol may be considered as the underdog when the Coaches statistics are place head-to-head, but you can never count Coach Bo out. He has the ability to bring out the best in his players and keep them motivated. He knows how to trust his players and let them play the Powerade game. 

To the Powerade franchise: This conference has been successful on your end, Good luck on your finals bid! 
(I would be doing a separate feature on Gary David to be up soon)
