After a solid beating from Alaska Aces at Game 1 the People's Champ Barangay Ginebra San Miguel must work double time to forced a tie in the best of five series in the 2013 PBA
Commissioners Cup Finals. They are facing a very tough team and it is very evident in their first meeting that the Aces has the advantage in their match up. These are the things we need to consider to win Game 2 of this series;
VMACK ATTACK
Vernon Macklin proved that he can score in the paint if he wants to but he was contained by the Alaska Aces defense last Wednesday at the Araneta. We cannot afford Vmack scoring less than 20 points; so, we must give him more touches on the paint. Let the defense of the Aces draw to him and Vernon has the skill
to pass the ball outside if needed.
DEFENSE IS THE KEY
Alaska Aces is the number 1 defensive team this conference and we cannot beat them if we will let them score easy baskets. We must make sure that we play good defense and limit their assists per game.
OFFENSIVE MENTALITY
It seems that we are afraid to pull the trigger especially Chris Ellis and Kerby Raymundo. It is difficult to play Dozier at the post so Kerby Raymundo must not be ashamed of taking the perimeter shots to force the Aces import not to stay at the paint. If the Kid can make those shots he can draw Robert Dozier outside and there would be more chances for the guards to go hard to the basket and more chances as well to get offensive rebounds.
GOOD BALL ROTATION
Alaska Aces defense will be broken if we are able to rotate the ball properly and make our basket out of assists. We must confuse the defense of the Aces, remember we have so many scorers in our roster that we could rely to.
