Home Court advantage has never been much sought after in Philippine basketball, that was before MPBL came in. In the NBA, this is being fought for for 82 games by the 30 teams. For the San Juan Knights - Go For Gold team, they look at this as a positive reinforcer, something that they need to overcome in their drive to become the MPBL Dati Cup National Champion as they play Davao Occidental in their native soil.
San Juan Team Governor Christopher Conwi points out, " We will definitely put all our heart and soul to bring to San Juan the crown". He said that defying all the odds like travelling to "hostile grounds" and playing in a very partisan crowd will only add fuel to the fire burning in each of his players. " We might not have the same perks as the home team but what we have are the intangibles and the heart, we have our eyes on the prize"
