This could have been our best chance to win against San Miguel. We could’ve been back in the race,” said Guiao.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/2024/5/22/pba-allein-maliksi-shines-as-meralco-escapes-ginebra-for-2-1-semis-lead-2158">PBA: Allein Maliksi shines as Meralco escapes Ginebra for 2-1 semis lead</a></div>“It was a crucial game. You go down 0-3, it’s almost impossible to get back. But if we had Games 1 and 2, medyo maganda pa odds nun. We’re in a deeper hole,” he furthered.However, all hope is not lost for him and the E-Painters, especially since there is still at least another game to be played.“But we are in a long game. We want games like these, we want to be able to play the best teams and find ways to solve strengths ng ibang teams and try to improve on our weaknesses. To that end, we are achieving it. Tingin ko we’re getting to be a better team every game.”“Of course, natatalo. Pero pagpasok namin dito sinasabi ko naman all we can do really is to make it hard for San Miguel to get to the Finals and learn in the process.”And while RoS has not conceded to the mighty SMB in any way, the multi-titled mentor said that one silver lining is that his young squad has already gained valuable lessons in facing the perennial powerhouse.“[We were able to] find out ‘yung areas where we can improve. The experience is also very important. Ma-experience nila yung ganito, ma-experience nila yung atmosphere ng semis, yung maraming nanonood.””Nung eliminations halos kaunti lang nanonood. There’s more pressure now, there are more adjustments. Nandoon naman lahat ‘yun.”“Of course you are disappointed you lost. But at the same time, you know the upside of the team is high. And for sure we will be a better team after this wherever we get to.”“Kung manalo kami isa pa, kung matalo or ma-sweep kami. We’ll be a better team next conference,” he ended.RoS will try to avoid elimination on Friday, 7:30 PM, when they face San Miguel in Game 4 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The Rain Or Shine ElastoPainters are a loss away from being eliminated in the 2024 PBA Philippine Cup semifinals.
