(Eagle News)  — Despite the existence of their many supporters who can give them moral support, Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings head coach Tim Cone admitted that they feel a lot of pressure in their upcoming game against the San Miguel Beermen.
The game on February 24 would be the first of the seven–or four games, depending on how it goes—in the final series of the PBA Philippine Cup.
According to Cone, their sister team is composed of great players, including the three-time most valuable player June Mar Fajardo.
There may be a bit of a hiccup for the never-say-die team, however, as there is a possibility that Joe Devance will not play in the first match.
The Ginebra veteran forward injured his foot during his team’s semifinals game against the Star Hotshots.

The Kings last beat the Beermen in a finals game during the Philippine Cup ten years ago.
