“Usually Boracay na kami nito e, most of the time, at this time of the conference, nasa Boracay na kami nagbabakasyon na kami so just to be able to have that chance and opportunity to play in a knockout game ,” said Tiongson after Terrafirma’s playoff-clinching 104-96 win over NorthPort. Tiongson made sure to steer Terrafirma to its first playoff appearance in eight years, dropping 30 points including a tough and-1 play that gave his team the breathing room against the rallying NorthPort with a little over a minute left.
The 33-year-old high scoring guard said he was really motivated to help Terrafirma to reach the playoffs, not only for the franchise but more importantly for head coach Johnedel Cardel who has been a subject to criticisms during the team’s losing conferences.“Alam naman natin yung mga hatred comments na nakukuha niya parati, na hindi naman niya kasalanan. Para sa kanya talaga ito, ako personally gusto ko manalo para kay coach John,” he added.
The Dyip are expected to traverse through an uncharted territory in the playoffs especially against tall odds versus the top seed and twice-to-beat San Miguel.“Just play to have fun kasi yung team namin, when we are having fun, we enjoy each other, maganda yung takbo ng game. Obviously, from the first to 15th man alam natin na any team pwede sila magstart so just be aggressive pa rin from the start,” Tiongson said of the looming quarters clash with the Beermen.
