GlobalPort opens up their PBA season campaign against powerhouse Petron Blaze Boosters tomorrow. For this conference, I'm trying out a new segment (sort of) called 'FlintSky Predicts' where I try to make 5 predictions prior to each game, and see how I fare with those predictions later on.
1. If GlobalPort scores more than 90, they win the game.
* In a Philippine Cup match, 90 is considered quite high-scoring already. Interim coach Richie Ticzon stated that the gameplan is to run and shoot 3's. To beat Petron, we need to score, score, and score.
2. The GlobalPort rookies will combine for at least 30 points.
* I believe Terrence Romeo, RR Garcia, Nico Salva, Justin Chua and LA Revilla are more than capable of doing such.
3. Jay Washington will post a double-double.
* Will not be easy against an imposing Petron frontline, but I think Jay-Wash is up to the task.
4. If Junemar Fajardo and Arwind Santos are contained to a combined 25 points, GlobalPort wins.
* Sure, Petron has lots weapons in their arsenal, but limiting those 2 could be vital for GlobalPort.
5. If Sol Mercado scores more than 20, GlobalPort loses.
* Yeah I know, this one's a bit random. Uhm.. maybe if Sol scores less, it means other teammates will be more involved? Or something like that.
Check back here tomorrow as I discuss which ones I got correctly. Until then, roar out.
