You need to make the players feel that we cannot relax in any game and against any team,' Diego said.'We cannot take them lightly because one loss might take us from semifinal contention. Every game is important. We're going to give our best because things are really difficult with this short conference.'Diego said the Cargo Movers can't afford to commit many errors and give much free points against a veteran Cignal team that got a shot in the arm with the return of Jovelyn Gonzaga.'We committed so many errors today (22 against Farm Fresh). I know they're still adjusting and I understand that part, but we cannot do that in the next few games, especially against the next team (Cignal), it's one of the oldest teams here in the league so they're going to fight for sure and we can't relax,' added Diego, whose team drew significant contributions from Ivy Lacsina and Mars Alba.
