TNT Tropang put their winning record on the line when they host Blackwater Elite in midweek PBA action. Tropang are 4-0 going into this game while Blackwater are 2-2. Despite that patchy record, Elite are considered to pose a big threat to Tropang on Thursday. Tropang team consultant Mark Dickel has gone on the record about being worried by Elite's ex-Tropang players. Don Trollano, Ed Daquioag, Marion Magat, and Frank Golla are a quartet with insider knowledge of the Tropang camp. While Trollano is the most dangerous of the ex-Tropang contingent, Alaska laid out a blueprint for how to handle him. He averaged 19.3 points and 10.3 rebounds going into that match but couldn't keep that average up with Alaska's defence limiting him to six points and five rebounds. Trollano was by no means the only Elite player licking his wounds after Alaska inflicted a humiliating 88-120 defeat on the home side. We expect a more focused and determined response from Blackwater when they take on Tropang. 

Yet how much good that will do against a team of Tropang's quality remains to be seen. They have a three-point average of 13.5, the second-highest in the division, and attempt 43.75 per game, the highest in the league. Roger Pogoy leads the league in three-pointers, averaging 5 per game while attempting 11.25. That's a conversion rate of 44 percent, meaning he sinks almost half of his shots. Bobby Ray Parks ain't far behind him an average of four three-pointers per game from a 6.67 attempt average. That means his conversion rate is 60 percent. These are the dangermen who will trouble Blackwater. We anticipate a game with more than 155 points.
