Pre-season games usually matter to the players trying to make it as part of a team, while for the veterans it is the best time to test out their bodies coming from injuries. For the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA), pre-season games is a chance to build up some momentum going into the the regular season tip-off. The question though is do the preseason records matter?
Is a team's won-lost mark in the exhibition games any indication or tip-off as to how the regular season will unfold? You hear announcers hand down their opinions, but there are no scientific studies or surveys yet that can support anybody's claim.
Hence, the best way to grade the team's performance in the pre-season is not to put any serious value to it.
This year, we try to track down each of the ten teams in the league and let the fans enjoy their performance and be the judge themselves for whatever it's worth.
