While Dickel wouldn’t use injury as an excuse, he keeps his fingers crossed that the entire team will be healthy and fit if he were given another chance to compete for a championship.
“Injuries are part of the game. We just have to hope we get more luck with that at the next conferences, ”said the New Zealander.
“It’s frustrating for us to fall short in the final.”

At the same time, the active TnT consultant praised Barangay Geneva for emerging as champion of the first bubble tournament in the history of the PBA.
“Congratulations to Geneva for such a close series,” he said.
