Game Preview: Cobras-Santas

| Saturday, June 12, 2010
YMCA(AP) -The hottest team of the league is simply going for another juggernaut.

Riding on a superb seven game winning streak, RBK Cobras aims to continue their strong push as they tries to win their 8th game in a row and solidifying their chase for the team's longest winning run at 9 games. Victories over Quackies, Santas and Guchitoids have this team feeling good of their chances of reaching or even surpassing the longest winning run that was set last 2008. Their next opponent? PSBA Santas.

And no one remember's the last 9 game winning run better than Michael Kent.

It was during that stretch that Kent's learned his fate 2 years ago. It was also that torrid stretch that Kent played his best basketball of his entire career. It was also during that stretch wherein Cobras became the best team for the year.

Now, it's happening all over again. And Kent avoids history to repeat itself.

Also riding on a torrid shooting, Kent is averaging close to 28 PPG in his last 6 games, an average that resembles 2 years ago. What made Cobras a lot better is the addition of Ronald Ke in their fold and the solid play of their key core players. "We're simply hot. We're firing on all cylinders and honestly, I don't see us losing tomorrow." Chan said. "Once this team starts rolling, ego flatten, then we're a hard team to beat."

With a lineup that is so balance from inside to outside game, Cobras possess all the arsenal that Santas need. The continuous rise of Ben Lim have given Cobras enough hope to win it all over this year. Kent has been the playing solidly for the last 6 games, a perfect timing to play well during the midseason. "If Boston has Paul Pierce, Boston needs the truth. Well for us, we need the tooth. Pierce drives and draws fouls, hoping to get free points from the line. For Kent, it's the same thing. He's peaking nicely and hopefully he continues to play like this." Tsai said.

"This is the perfect time to see us play, see how hard it is to stop a team like RBK Cobras. We have the tools. We have everything. We've never been so confident before so let's get it on." Kent said.

Santas? Edward Santa has to do a better job of playing the point guard position as Lim outplayed him the entire game during their last meeting. "We've got to stop their offensive game. They've got real scorers. They've got a lot of shooters. So, we just have to come out and bring our A-game." Santa said. Santas will rely on Anthony and 2 chawis to impose their running game.

Reality wise, is their any chance that Santas will win tomorrow's game? "No way in hell. That's how confident I am." Kent said. "This is the stretch that I once lose 2 years ago. This is the stretch that best resembles what happened 2 years ago. I will not let history repeat itself."
