MANILA—With the PBA Commissioner's Cup title on the line on Wednesday night at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay, TNT fans are hoping that their team will be in full force against Ginebra.
However, the chances of this happening are not high, as the Tropang 5G sat out Calvin Oftana and Brandon Rosser for Game 6.
Worse, Jayson Castro hurt his ankle in the said game, adding to their woes.
Coach Chot Reyes floated the possibility that the said players could miss the deciding game.
"That's going to be a game-time decision. Our PTs (physical therapists) are working double time on them," Reyes said.
"The problem is we might have lost Jayson again."
However, he too said that Rosser, arguably TNT's top rim protector right now, could be activated for the rubber match.
"Brandon has a better chance because it's an inversion ankle sprain, yung paloob na sprain," Reyes further said.
On the other hand, RR Pogoy, arguably the most consistent local right now for the team, proclaimed in faith that Oftana, Rosser, and Castro will see action in the title decider.
"I will declare kasama si Lord, maglalaro 'yan sila sa Game 7," Pogoy said.
He then echoed what everyone thinks about Game 7: "May the best team win."
