Robert Bolick and the rest of the Road Warriors need to get their act together fast in the ongoing PBA Commissioner’s Cup if the NLEX wants to keep its playoff hopes alive.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
That is perhaps the mantra for the skidding NLEX side for the rest of the PBA Commissioner's Cup as the Road Warriors look to stop the streaking TNT Tropang Giga Wednesday.
Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. at the PhilSports Arena.
After a promising 3-1 start, NLEX’s conference has taken a nosedive with four consecutive losses, the latest being a 105-91 setback against Meralco.

Mike Watkins has been a consistent force for NLEX, posting a massive 38-point, 21-rebound double-double against the Bolts, but once again was not enough to get the Road Warriors over the hump.
Now sitting at 3-5 and outside the top-8, the Road Warriors are fighting for survival as the elimination round nears its conclusion.
And now is the time for do-it-all guard Robert Bolick, Javee Mocon, and fit-again Kevin Alas to provide the much-needed local support to one of the frontrunners in the Best Import race in Watkins.
