Talking about Lassiter, he really does make a big impact on the plays for SMB. Not that TNT is nothing if Lassiter played the series but it's more likely their chance of winning the championship will narrow down.
Agree to that. I'm not against it. Lassiter is good and PBA fans know how great his offense is. He is part of the solid lineup of SMB since then. No question about that.
I just disagree with the idea of "possible outcome" of 3-1 lead for SMB if Lassiter is there. Still, I believed it will be to 2-2 even with Lassiter was there and if SMB won the champs it will be 4-3. TNT can match the SMB even Lassiter is there. Plays and rotation of TNT will be different too.
Still a close match in the end and we can't say early who's the one will prevail.
That's what i also observe in this series, it's close and yet unpredictable on who will win the next game. After four games we have the pattern that neither team can win two in a row so i think game 5 belong to the TNT Katropa. The disadvantage of the Katropa in this series is that they have a very short rotation as coach Ravena is fielding only 7 of his players and fatigue would be a factor as always on end game.
