Regardless of the result of last night’s Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Season 50 Commissioner’s Cup finals Game 7 against Barangay Ginebra, TNT Tropang 5G guard RR Pogoy will be looking forward to the much-deserved rest.

Obviously hoping for a title repeat for a sweeter vacation, Pogoy admitted that the grueling best-of-seven championship rematch that once again went the full distance has been a draining ordeal.

Much so for Pogoy, whose main defensive assignment is no less than the Kings’ scoring machine in resident import Justin Brownlee.

“Pagod na pagod na rin ako,” Pogoy said with a laugh.

“From Game 1 to Game 6, my body is already aching.”

Pogoy and the rest of the already limping Tropang 5G had to endure one final push in the series decider, still being played as of press time at the Mall of Asia Arena.

“But that’s how it is, that’s our job. And I’m ready for tasks like that,” Pogoy said.

Defending the four-time Best Import is no easy task.

In fact, Brownlee torched his defenders, including Pogoy, with an average of 53 points in Games 5 and 6.

The naturalized player dropped 54 points in a 100-97 Ginebra win in Game 5 before scoring 52 in a 90-98 loss last Sunday that dragged the series to a Game 7.
