This Backcourt Tandem was just organized this PBA 2013 Commissioner's Cup because of the blockbuster trade which led Sol Mercado (Meralco) and Japeth Aguilar (TnT) to Global port while Rey Guevarra and Josh Vanlandingham was sent to Meralco while Rabeh Al-Hussaini was sent to Talk N' Text.
Before the start of the Commissioner's Cup, Many people Speculates that Global port will be a contender this conference not unlike the past conference (All-Filipino) where they ended with a 1-10 standing.
How can't they be a contender? They got the tools they need for this Conference: A Top scorer, A athletic forward with a great shotblocking technique, A great court general, A veterans presence. (not to mention his 2 time MVP award) and a new coach (Coach Junel Baculi) Now tell me how can't they compete against the top teams right now in the PBA. And now they are being reinforced by a Import who is great in Hustle plays, Great in shotblocking but only Average in scoring.
Now with a 2-2 record this is the first time where Global Port reach a 2 win mark. Yes it shows a good sign because even in a 2-2 record they remain at the 5th standing atop with the top teams like Rain or shine, San Mig Coffee and Barangay Ginebra San Miguel. With those 4 games the MMDA combination showed a great basketball game even in their losses.
I know it's early to say that Global port will be a playoff contender but who knows? With this Caliber they have I can say that they have a high chance to enter the playoffs but who knows? the ball is round and anything can happen within this season.
