We were a championship team before the slide, but the management was committed to rebuilding the team.

Both teams had a lot of turnovers, so there were more opportunities to score and thus a high-scoring game.

We have to review if there’s a need to tinker with our present lineup. If there is, we need to get the right combinations quick to find the answer to this slide.

I had a good feeling we could win this even before the game started.

He [Villanueva] took it as a personal challenge.

It’s what you call ‘Red Bull mentality’ and it was molded through time.

There are no ready-made superstars in this team.

Chandler has been a problem for the past five games and he’s not going away in Game 6.

Our loss to San Miguel was a wake-up call for us. If we want to be contenders, we have to beat teams at their best. And the guys really wanted to be contenders.

Chandler plays with a lot of emotion. If that emotion rubs off on the team, they play well.

We had two good wins so far but I’m not totally convinced that were already out of a slump.

They’re a different team from the one we battled before because of their import. But we’ve proven ourselves against them and the biggest thing now is to win the playoff.
