Apat na big men at isang point guard ang main core ng Express at ito ay sina 6’4 Nino Canaleta, 6’3 rookie Arwind Santos sa 2 at 3 slots, 6’5 Ranidel de Ocampo sa No 4 spot at ang kapatid nitong 6’7 na Yancy bilang sentro. Naririyan ang 6’0 guard na si Wynne Arboleda bilang point.

                    [Summary] => Forget a scenario of sweep and instead expect a thriller of a series in the PBL Platinum Cup finals.


Coaches Leo Austria and Junel Baculi themselves rule out the possibility of one sweeping the other as both brace up for a complete war in the Welcoat Paints-Fash Liquid Laundry Detergent best-of-five titular showdown starting tomorrow at the Makati Coliseum.


"It’s going to be an interesting match-up but I don’t think there would be a sweep," said Baculi, who is figuring in his 11th finals appearance in the league. He has six titles under his belt
