Reading comments that Abueva might be the key for Phoenix FuelMaster to become a team to beat, it was like he was treated being overrated. For his debut, I'm expecting a non-aggressive Abueva. I think we will only see a better Phoenix as a contender next conference when Abueva is now fully part of the team instead of the current conference.
Still no reports for Abueva's return. Maybe in the half period of the bubble conference? What do you guys think?
I don't think so, Phoenix chance is now that Fajardo are still not playing, once he is back, all the attention is on him as SMB will again be dominant again.
And this is an ALL FILIPINO CUP, no import ,so teams with great Filipino players has a chance.
Perkins and Calvin are a good duo, they can dominate the paint if they will remain aggressive and I believe they can compete with the Ginebra pretty well even if Japeth is quite dominant in the inside, but you know things could be different with Calvin on the floor as he is known to guarding big players even imports.
