TNT drew the first blood. 109-96
TNT import Terrence Jones producing 41 big points and 12 rebounds. He always breaks SMB's defense even how strong it is.
And another one that kills them is the outside shooting of TNT. I know SMB will do changes next game but still... TNT!
But this is too early to predict since there are 6 games to come(hopefully can reach that final game 7)
Is there some of you us already put some bets for their team?or are you betting per Game and not for the whole Finals?
I saw someones offering but maybe I will consider a per Game bet than the final result
SMB is not in bad shape. TNT's import Jones is just unstoppable.
Your SMB did their best to stop him but as I said, Jones is not only the problem that SMB faces.
Let's see how Austria will setup a plan to stopped Jones while not leaving the TNT's outside shooters open.
Alaska and Ginebra both have won a piece against TNT, I guess the SMB coaching staff has to review that on how those teams were able to execute to beat the TNT. Jones is a big problem, and in game 1, his 3 point shooting is also good because he was so confident that his teammates are shooting well, SMB with 2 days off needs to put more time to analyze game 1 loss as well, if they can solve the puzzle, maybe they'll win game 2.
In game 1, Jones scored 41 points, they need to limit that to at least 20 and be more physical in game 2.
