Maynilad battles Freego Jeans and Blackwater takes on Powerade in a
pair of knockout matches as the PBA D-League first round playoffs gets
going Thursday at the Arena in San Juan.
Frankie Lim, the Maynilad coach, is expecting a tough grind when the
Water Dragons and the Falcons mix it up at 2 o’clock.
He said the Water Dragons will be without Sudan Daniel, who is
sidelined by an injury.
The Water Dragons have just returned from a basketball training camp
in the United States and should be in top shape going into the crucial
match.
“We’re looking forward to the next round. But Freego is a dangerous
team and well coached,” Lim said.
“It will not be easy for us to beat them since we are playing without Sudan.”
The 4 p.m. encounter between the Tigers and the Elite also promises to
be interesting.
“It’s going to be a big challenge for us going up against Blackwater.
We’ll surely have our hands full trying to contain them,” said Junior
Powerade coach Ricky Dandan.
The Junior Tigers clinched the last playoff berth in Group B by
eliminating Café France with a 77-65 win in their knockout match
Tuesday.
