Bay Area Dragons Team News
Early on game 3 was looking like another blowout by the Bay Area Dragons, but then the Beer started hitting their threes and made a comeback. Similar to game 1 the Beermen were shooting above 40% from behind the arc, which is basically the only way they can beat the Dragons at the moment.
The Bay Area Dragons are superior to Beermen in all facets of the game. Even when Beer step up and play above their capabilities it´s barely enough to edge their opponents. The return of Romeo and Fajardo has only made this semifinal a little bit more interesting, but overall the Beer lack the firepower to prevail in a best-of-five series.
San Miguel Beermen Team News
After the Dragons spoiled the return of head coach Leo Austria in game 2, he was determined to avoid a sweep and gift the fans at least one win. Some will say we now have a real series on our hands, but we shall kindly disagree.
Tactically there are too many mismatches on the floor for a full Beer comeback. Too many things have to come together, and when they do the Dragons can always rely on their tall frontcourt and individual quality to rescue them.
Bay Area Dragons vs. San Miguel Beermen Prediction
We expect a valiant effort by the Beermen today, but it won´t be enough to tie the series. The spread doesn´t have any value and is more or less a fair reflection of the difference between these teams, but the Total Under seems more than affordable.
This total is a product of Bay Area´s high-scoring games from the regular season, which have nothing to do with this semifinal. All three games so far ended below 210 points, because the Beermen are aware they have to be top-notch defensively to compete until the end.
