On the other hand, which one will have the edge in the best-of-7 semi-final series between the two most popular ball club here in the Philippines. When it comes to the fans support, definitely, Ginebra will have a home court advantage (as always).

But examining the last 4 games between these two teams, Ginebra won 3 while SMB just won 1. Is this a sign that Ginebra is more dominant now against SMB? For me, I don't know.
Well, these are just stats and games that already won and lose, only what matters now is the present. The team that wants to win more will win this long series.
