San Miguel Beer and Barangay Ginebra will have the daunting task of pulling the rug from under against the top seeds Bay Area and Magnolia, respectively, once the 2022 PBA Commissioner’s Cup semifinals fire off on Wednesday, Dec. 14, at PhilSports Arena in Pasig City. On the other hand, although they came out unscathed from their own quarterfinal pairings, SMB and Ginebra got a fitting buildup to the semis showdown with confidence-boosting wins against Converge and NorthPort respectively. SMB acting head coach Jorge Gallent liked what he saw during the quarterfinals series as they brace for the tough duel against Bay Area. The Beermen certainly have the artillery to go up against the Dragons especially with June Mar Fajardo and Terrence Romeo back to their deadly forms. It’s still unclear whether Bay Area will field Myles Powell back or it will stick with Andrew Nicholson but SMB is preparing for both occasions as well as the Dragons contributors in Hayden Blankley and Glen Yang.
