BOTH assistant coach Gian Nazario of defending champion EcoOil-La Salle and Perpetual Help coach Myk Saguiguit acknowledged the race to the playoffs is getting tougher.
“The reason why we joined the D-League is for experience.” Nazario said. “We’re gonna win some, we’re gonna lose some but we always move forward.”
“Mas mabigat na itong mga next games namin. Kaya kailangan mas handa kami,” Saguiguit said.
The Green Archers and the Altas clash today for a piece of the lead in the PBA D-League Aspirants’ Cup at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig.
Tied at second with identical 2-1 marks, the match pitting EcoOil-La Salle and Perpetual is set at 4 p.m. after Wangs Basketball @27 Strikers — Letran (0-1) faces Centro Escolar U (1-1) at 2 o’clock.
The Archers will welcome back coach Topex Robinson after his scouting trip in the United States but only as an observer with an order on Nazario to call the shots for the team for rest of their D-League campaign.
