RoS, TnT try to ease jam at 5th

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines -  Rain or Shine and Talk n Text set out as the heavy favorites as they take on struggling Barako Bull and Kia Motors, respectively, seeking to break out of a heavy four-way logjam at fifth in the PBA Philippine Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum today.

Meanwhile, San Miguel Beer tries to rebound from a loss to Alaska Milk in a tight battle Wednesday as the Beermen tangle with the NLEX Road Warriors in the second leg of the Petron Blaze PBA on Tour in Tubod, Lanao del Norte tomorrow.

Currently sharing fifth spot with Globalport and NLEX at 2-2, the Elasto Painters and the Tropang Texters look to step ahead, hoping to cruise past the Energy (0-3) and the Sorento (1-3).

The E-Painters and the Energy take the floor at 4:15 p.m. then the Texters and the Sorento at 7 p.m.

RoS, however, will be without coach Yeng Guiao, a lawmaker representing Pampanga’s first district in Congress, who was set to leave for Hong Kong yesterday to attend a conference on climate change issues.

But the fiery mentor remains confident they have made the right preparation for Barako Bull and the team would be in good hands under assistant coach Caloy Garcia.

“We’ve prepared the team to bounce back from a bad loss. We had good practices in the last few days. And coach Caloy knows what to do in my absence,” Guiao told The STAR.

From a blown effort the last time, Talk n Text returned playing heads-up throughout Sunday and dealt Rain or Shine a 99-76 beating.
