Well, you can't just go to another country, play in back-to-back games and expect to win them all.

Such is the case for the still maturing Rain or Shine Elasto Painters who settled for a 1-1 even split in their Dubai games as part of the ongoing PBA Commissioner's Cup. They won their first assignment over the hapless Barako Bull Energy, which lost over rated import Dermarr Johnson to a groin injury early in the game, 99-95.

And just when you thought that the young team was building momentum (no excuses to offer since they have a lot of young legs on the roster and coach Yeng Guiao loves to shuffle his guys), they lose to the Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings 89-88.

Granted, they could've easily won the game against the Gin Kings had the referees not been ultra sensitive to contact to any of the guys in red, but the blame's still on RoS for not keeping their heads in the game.
