Coaches and PBA watchers predict a wide-open battle for the Fiesta Cup championship in the absence of members of the national team.


The consensus is that Barangay Ginebra, San Miguel Beer and Talk n Text, the top three teams in the recent Philippine Cup, have lost their advantage in manpower, opening the door to a more balanced competition in the season-ending tourney kicking off Sunday at the Astrodome.


Red Bull and Purefoods enjoy the slight edge as they plunge into action towing tested imports in James Penny and Marquin Chandler, respectively.

Purefoods Chunkee and San Miguel Beer, two teams which sputtered in the early going but are now on a roll, clash today at resumption of the Talk n Text PBA Philippine Cup,  both trying to sustain the momentum of their  run at the Araneta Coliseum. 


With their three-game romp, the Giants and the Beermen now look every inch the title contenders they were touted to be, with the Giants out to break out of a tie with Talk n Text for fourth with 4-3 cards and the Beermen eyeing win No. 4 after dropping their first three games.
