What to expect from the teams this Governors Cup

The 2014 Commissioner's cup has ended and the San mig coffee Mixers grabbed the crown. Now the Governors Cup is coming and here is my insights what to expect from the teams this 2014 Governor's cup.

1.) GlobalPort BatangPier 

It's going to be coach Pido and Alex Cabagnot's 2nd stint in the Global Port batang pier and many are expecting that this team will be a threat because Alex Cabagnot's already jelling with the team and The rest of the team are already familiar with Coach Pido's system. Also with the incoming of Taha, He should provide the bigmen woes of GlobalPort. 

2.) Barako Bull Energy Colas 


With now Siot Tangquincen calling the shots Barako bull seems to be focusing on their defense. Because the System of Coach Siot is all about defense, expect barako bull to be different from Bong Ramos' Barako Bull and they will prove out there that they are not just "farm" team but a real team in the PBA. With their Rookie Carlo Lastimosa already showing great, JC Intal's leg is back, Willie Wilson's defensive capability, Willie Miller's Veteran Presence, Ronjay's Markmanship and Dorian's Big Presence in the Inside Paint. Barako Bull won't be a joke and they might be a force this coming Governor's Cup

3.) Meralco Bolts


After a disappointing loss against the Rain or shine during the quarterfinals of the Commissioner's Cup expect Meralco to release their guns and vent their frustrations here in the Governor's Cup. With the return of their point Guard Mike Cortez, the Bolts' Backcourt will surely be in harmony right now and prepare for the worst for they are no bystanders in the PBA and I'm sure they are hungry this conference to make up for their very disappointing loss in the Commissioner's Cup.

4.) Alaska Aces 



Another Disappointing exit, Because Alaska Aces were the defending champion of this year's Commissioner's Cup and they were eliminated by Coach Tim's San Mig Coffee. By now all they want is redemption and here they are to prove it in this Governor's Cup and you know that this alaska aces is really a force in the PBA and there is no shock if they're able to grab this year's Governor's Cup. 

5.) San Miguel Beermen 



Their exit must be the biggest disappointment in this year's Commissioner's Cup. Finishing up 2nd place and earning a twice-to-beat advantage they faced a #7 Seeded Air 21. Many were already making their judgements that Air21 won't have a match Against SMB because of their Lineup Comparing to SMB's Heavy Lineup. But the Air21 pulled the improbable, they've beaten the San Miguel Beermen even with the twice-to-win disadvantage. Now with that upset, I'm sure this SMB team will be focused and determined not to pull a kind of letdown like that again and with their heavy lineup, I'm pretty sure they will be one of the teams to beat this upcoming conference.

6.) Barangay Ginebra San Miguel



Fans were Sad with the early finish of their Beloved BGSM team. BGSM finished their run on the Commissioner's Cup on a very Forgetful game, They were beaten by the Top seeded Talk N Text team with a margin of 20+ points and for the team who hails from the "Never Say Die" Spirit, that is not a way to end your run. Now with the again revamped coaching staff led by Jeffrey Cariaso Ginebra alongside with Olsen Racela, Ginebra is looking for some stability in their Coaching staffs and they believe that Coach Jeff can bring it to them. Also they are bringing the Triangle offense in the ginebra camp replacing the old Run and Gun system they had. Fans are now excited to see what Ginebra can do with their new system and don't underestimate them even though they are adjusting into the new system for they might pull an upset this upcoming Governor's cup and with that Never Say Die Spirit they have, Expect for a true war. 

7.) Air21 Express



After the Impressive Run of the Air21 Express this Commissioner's cup, the Air21 is not done yet and they want to really make a statement that their team is not just a passerby team in the PBA. Now with Asi Taulava being the leader, Joseph yeo and Mark Cardona back to their games, Sean Anthony's Hustle plays plus The return of Rico Villanueva I'm pretty sure they could pull another upset this Governor's Cup.

8.) Rain Or Shine Elasto Painters

Rain Or shine ended their run with a 0-3 record against Talk N Text in the semi final round of the Commissioner's Cup. They weren't able to match up against Talk N Text because they are plagued by injuries when the Semi-final Round starts, but now most of them are already healthy Rain or Shine looks to grab the championship which they've previously won (2011 Governor's Cup). 

9.) Talk N text


After the Disappointing Game 4 loss which actually cost them the Championship, Talk N Text is keen to make another Big conference and might bounceback from their Loss against the San Mig coffee Mixers. Expect all guns blazing this conference for they are determined not to commit those mistakes again and finally get that chip'. Expect Talk N Text to play another dominating basketball this conference and I won't be surprised if they are in the finals again. 

10.) San Mig Coffee Mixers 


Being the champion of this Commissioner's Cup, other Teams are going to expect that this San Mig Coffee Group is Fatigued. But don't let your guard down on this team, Remember they are already fatigued in the opening of the Commissioner's Cup yet they paved their way to the top again, so in this Governor's Cup they might pull another impressive run or big upset's again. Remember the main threat of the team is when they are already backed-up against the wall, They proved it a lot of times already in the past 2 conferences. Trust me this team is the hard team to beat.
