Superpowers collide: San Miguel VS Talk N Text

Author's note: my apologies to all our friends who've been supporting this humble little site for being unable to provide any updates. Not that I've been missing out on the current games (who in the Metro has anyway? Have you seen the Playoffs? Fans are coming back in!), but I just felt like taking time off to unwind, enjoy the game and let commentating geniuses like Jason Webb handle the rest (thank God Richard del Rosario's off live television!)

Number one and number two. Rarely have we seen the PBA's top two teams squaring off in the Finals-- with the import-less "Philippine Cup" title up for grabs at that. But here we are, with the league's two best and most loaded teams just minutes away from clashing in an out-of-town Battle Royal which I honestly believe has been two-three years in the making.

On one side you have the San Miguel Beermen, a team that has established its identity as an athletic, run and gun squad, facing the Talk n Text Tropang Texters-- a team that has the tools to run, but has been winning more based on a blue-collar like approach anchored on one of their unheralded frontline players (more on that later).

Here's a glimpse on the match-ups and who I feel has the edge, after the jump.
