Some exciting stuff before the real tourney begins - the PBA preseason games! Now you can watch your PBA idols strut their wares at a neighborhood near you. Some of the interesting match-ups are highlighted in bold. Sept 1 marks the debut of Kelly Williams and the Sta. Lucia Realtors as they face the rebuilding Coca Cola Tigers. Sept 2 pits two high-powered teams in the reigning All-Filipino champs Purefoods Chunkee Giants and the crowd favorites Brgy Ginebra Gin Kings reinforced by Raffy Reavies and Billy Mamaril (and perhaps Rudy Hatfield?). New PBA team Welcoat Dragons enters the court for the first time in a Sept 4 match against the young and exciting Air21 Express bannered by KG Canaleta and Arwind Santos. Perennial title contender Red Bull Barakos tests the Realtors' mettle on Sept 6. On September 11, San Miguel Beer will exchange gears with the Realtors. It can be recalled that days prior to the draft, SMB highly coveted Kelly Williams but the Realtors beat them to the draw, grabbing the 6-5 Fil-Am from Oakland University with the first pick overall. Surely, there must be some bad blood there. Would Gabby Espinas be able to prove the Beermen that he is better than Williams? That remains to be seen.
The Sept 15 and Sept 6 playdates are a rewind of the Philippine Cup semis series matchup between the Alaska Aces and the Purefoods Chunkee Giants, and the Red Bull Barakos and the San Miguel Beermen. There you have it. Some classic match-ups. Some heated rivalries. Expect some fireworks. At least there's something we can look forward to until the big war begins.
