Redemption vs Domination
VS 
Game on! It's the PBA Finals featuring two powerhouse and balanced teams right now in the league, the BMEG Llamados and the Talk N Text Tropang Texters! It is REDEMPTION VS DOMINATION! First of all, it is DOMINATION for the Talk N Text Tropang Texters because they've been in the Finals for 5 consecutive conference, including this one. Out of 5 championship stints, they've won 3 titles, so we can say that the last 5 conferences were dominated and the theme was played by the Talk N Text team. This team is really tough to beat. They are deep in lineup, have the experience in the Finals, and they are athletic and have the heart of a champion, since they are the defending champions. No doubt, they have slight edge over BMEG as slight favorites for this final series. Let's go to BMEG Llamados, my favorite team :) this is the 1st Finals stint of BMEG over the last 3 years and the 1st Finals stint in just 2 conference under their new head coach, Tim Cone. This is REDEMPTION for the BMEG Llamados because in the first conference under Tim Cone, the Philippine Cup, the BMEG team had a very disappointing finish after being the number 1 team in the eliminations but they were upset and defeated by just the number 8 team, the Powerade Tigers. It was a sorry conference for them and didn't win the title. And now, here comes the BMEG, still carrying that nightmare as their motivation, entering the Finals and have a very good chance to claim the PBA title and make their redemption complete and to prove to many people that the win by the Powerade team against them was just a FLUKE! :)
This series is considered as one of the must-watched championship series in the PBA right now because these two teams are so athletic, deep, and balanced in terms of their lineups. They have good coaches and they play efficient systems under their respective coaches, which lead them here to the Finals. It will be James Yap and Denzel Bowles, who will carry the BMEG Llamados to a championship against Jimmy Alapag (shown in the picture with blue jersey #3) and Donnel Harvey, the import of the Talk N Text, who will lead the Texters to their 4th title in the last 5 conferences. I really say that I'm happy for my favorite team, BMEG, that they have gone too far up to this level, the last stage which is the Finals. I know it feels good but the quest is not yet over. B MEG still needs to beat the defending champions, Talk N Text to claim the title and to be the best in the PBA! Win or Lose, I will always be a BMEG Fan! :)
