Tim Cone expects Greg Slaughter to play against Mahindra

After the Barangay Ginebra win against the Star Hotshots, Tim Cone said in an interview that Greg Slaughter is expected to play versus Mahindra on September 9.
"We are hoping, no, we are actually expecting him to play a few minutes. He will be coming off the bench and we'll start to have him back" Cone said.


" We don't know yet but we are currently playing very good basketball and we are not sure if he's going to be a distraction or he will improve our plays but we will expect him to play better this time.


Greg Slaughter has been out for almost three months after is surgery and has been doing drills during the Ginebra Practice. This kind of addition will affect in a positive way as they try to defeat on of the league's most improved team who's currently ranked same as they are in the PBA standings.

Tim Cone said that based on statistics, Ginebra is expected to play that way and that level of basketball and they will try to put their best foot forward. They take each game at a time and is ready to accept the challenge of every team that they will face on their road to the play offs and eventually if lucky enough, to the finals.

The reception of the PBA fans in the recently held Manila Clasico was overwhelming as both squads parades their fans making it a sold out Sunday with more than 16 thousand gate attendance. Mahindra on the other hand is also having a great conference with the help of their reinforcements and some locals. It will be a test of strength and good level of basketball to be able to defeat the opposing team and looking at their current stints, It will be a very good showdown between these two teams as they try to crack a spot in the 1st or second spot in the PBA's current Governors' cup conference.
