Powerade Tigers vs Meralco Bolts 

Guiao admitted it would be tough, especially with the perennial crowd favorites having additional threats in new import Donald Sloan and recent acquisition Nino Canaleta to complement Mark Caguioa, Jayjay Helterbrand, Ronald Tubid and Mike Cortez.

There is a basic game plan Guiao and his staff have hatched, however. "If we can keep their guards from breaking us down off the dribble we have a chance against them.
Rain or Shine will have little respite since it immediately plunges into action on Friday against B-Meg while Ginebra will take a breather before taking on the Llamados on Sunday.
Since the semis is a sprint-like five-game affair, however, Kings coach Jong Uichico wants a better slate going in.

Sloan could be a big factor. The NBA D-League campaigner debuted in a 79-83 loss to Alaska last Saturday and finished with 21 points, 19 in the second half, while adding seven rebounds, four assists and three steals.
Better figures are expected of Sloan now that he has had more time to gel with his teammates.
An import very familiar with his team is Champ Oguchi, who will reinforce Meralco anew when the Bolts square off with Powerade in today’s curtain-raiser.

Meralco’s import since the Commissioner’s Cup was tapped back after replacement Tim Pickett suffered a hamstring tear in only his second game, a 91-93 loss to Talk N Text last Wednesday.
Due to lower quotients, the Bolts and Tigers are out of the running for the sixth and last slot in the semis but both are expected to go all-out in a bid to end the season on a bright note.
We will definitely play hard to end our season right," said Meralco coach Ryan Gregorio, whose team also absorbed a 113-116 overtime heartbreaker to Rain or Shine the Saturday before.

The semifinal round of the PBA Governors Cup wont start until Friday, but for Rain or Shine coach Yeng Guiao it starts today when his team battles Ginebra at the Araneta Coliseum.
This is practically the semis," Guiao said on the eve of the match formally ending the eight-game eliminations, with the winner taking a better carry-over record to the semis.
Powerade has not had a winning record in a conference since the 2008 Fiesta Conference, when Jason Dixon led the franchise then named Coke to an 11-10 slate.

The fact is not lost on Tigers coach Bo Perasol, whose team has won two of its last three games, including a 105-81 thrashing of powerhouse Petron Blaze last Friday.
We are disappointed that we wouldn’t have the chance to be in the semis even if we win and quite happy to have the chance to have a 50 percent winning percentage – a feat we’ve never had for a long time.
