Coach Siot Tanquingcen, meanwhile, is convinced his Barangay Ginebra team has a big pride that it would fight hard to avoid further humiliation.


The Phone Pals seek to keep domination while the Kings are out for redemption as the two teams, now squared up with two games apiece, clash in the pivotal Game Five of the Gran Matador PBA Philippine Cup best-of-seven title playoff at the Araneta Coliseum today.

Talk n Text top honcho Ricky Vargas told The STAR they made the decision to ease the  conflict of schedule Banal is currently facing. His stint with the Phone Pals may be extended at most up to Wednesday if the title showdown goes the full route.

Coach Joel Banal knows that the trek to the finals would be much tougher as he instructed his wards to double their efforts against Blu Detergent today in the semifinals of the 2002 PBL Chairman’s Cup at the Makati Coliseum.


The 5 p.m. match is crucial since a loss by the Blue Eagles will install the Detergent Kings on top of the five-team, carry-over semifinals.


Kutitap Toothpaste also seeks its second semifinal win against Shark Energy Drink at 3.
