00:00The PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup Finals between Barangay Ginebra, San Miguel, and TNT Tropang Giga will be held on Friday.

00:07But before the action starts in Hardcourt, a pre-finals press conference will be held in Quezon City on Monday.

00:15That's what our teammate, Daryl Oclares, has to say.

00:19The flagship powerhouse teams Barangay Ginebra, San Miguel, and TNT Tropang Giga will once again face off in the upcoming PBA Finals.

00:31This time, the title of the Season 49 Commissioner's Cup will determine their fight in the Best of 7 Series.

00:40The two teams faced off in the Championship Round in the Season 49 Governor's Cup, where TNT defeated Ginebra in six games.

00:50That's why Barangay Ginebra is eager to take revenge on the Tropang Giga,

00:54who won the championship in the Governor's Cup in Season 47 after defeating Ginebra.

01:01According to Gen Kings Head Coach Tim Cohn,

01:04they now have a stronger roster compared to their last two finals against TNT.

01:11I think we're coming into this series with a lot more depth than we had in the last time we played them,

01:16and I think that's going to be a big factor for us.

01:19Just the idea that we have a little bit more depth and length than we had in the last series we played.

01:28This is also how Barangay Ginebra guards defeated T. Thompson.

01:32He's happy to have their key players back, like Jamie Malonso and Jeremiah Gray.

01:39For us, that's a big factor.

01:41Our key players are back, and we have more key players.

01:46We have a deeper bench now, so I hope we can take advantage of that.

01:54On the other side of the series, TNT Head Coach Shot Reyes admitted that it's a huge loss for them

02:01that Jason Castro, who suffered a knee injury in the semifinals, couldn't play.

02:06On the other hand, Reyes is still confident that his teammate can win even without Castro.

02:13Our ability to play at a high level without Jason.

02:20He was the last finals MVP, so taking that piece away is going to be a telling factor.

02:30Having said that, the other players that we have, we're not going to sell them short

02:36because they've shown in the last series how well they can play even without Jason.

02:43I'd be lying if we don't admit that it will be a big factor.

02:49Now that they can't be with their captain, the TNT veterans, RR Pugoy and Calvin Oftana, are ready.

02:58We're looking forward to that challenge.

03:01Like what Joe said, without Jason, who else will lead our team?

03:06If not me, Calvin, or Ray.

03:10We're ready for that challenge. It's coming final.

03:15I think that even if Jason is there, there's pressure.

03:18But it's up to us, not just for me, it's up to us to overcome that pressure.

03:23Like what I said in my interviews, like what the coach said,

03:28it's not a one man to step up, to step on the shoes of Jason.

03:33It should be all of us chipping in, little by little, to fill up what Jason left behind.

03:39Who will win the PBA Season 49 Commissioner's Cup?

03:44Will it be Hinebra or TNT?

03:46We'll find out the answer in Game 1 this Friday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
