Harrison Barnes is not held on what the spurs hurt

With five championships, six NBA final layouts and a league record 22 straight playoffs, The San Antonio Spurs He represented the NBA standard for a better part of two decades. Although the level of success is rarely seen through sports analyzes, recent releases of silver and black are light years away from previous expectations. It is a reality that is not lost on the veteran forward Harrison Barnesespecially after losing Dallas Mavericks.

“We know that there is a standard that will be supported. Obviously, obviously, we do not meet that standard,” Barnes said.

“But we know where North Star,” the first year continued.

When spurs ended 32-39 in the Exported 2019-2020 season, they marked their first waste of the 1996-1997 campaign that were injured injured by their best players. That season served as Gregg Popovich first as the main coach of the organization.

“I think that at the end of the day this team is not new in trouble. With coach Pop at the beginning of the season, we always had a mentality for the next man or something like,” Barnes divided, alluding to A mild stroke kept Popovich out Since the beginning of November.

Tradition of Spurs Swing for lack of defense

While spurs are fighting through six consecutive loser times, alluded to the stirrup of their glory This year’s edition.

“Defense. I feel like we did a great job offending,” said Spurs to Keldon Johnson After returning to Maverik. “We’ve achieved the ball enough to win NBA play, but defensive, we need to lock yourself completely. Deep in positions, we need to stop.”

“I think it’s the biggest time anytime to score, and you feel like in good rhythm, we looked at 60 plus points in the first half, but also scored 60,” Barnes added too. “Enter only trading baskets. Unfortunately, it was not sustainable for us, especially the shares. Defensively, we need to be better and have a plain when it returns so back and forth.”

San Antonio is left to 116 points per game. Only one team in the first eight of any conference gives up excess 116 per competition. In the west, the only two detachments that give up more than 116 are the only two below the caves in the table.

“Definitely, we initially showed a large presence of defense, but as they moved the ball, I feel like we went out behind. There are things we can control that we fix those things,” Johnson said about the loss of Dallas.

The creation of things are even worse are the injuries of key defense counselors. Victor Vembania is for the season. Jeremi Soci is dealing with the left calf problem. It caused their teammates to work much harder.

“Screens outside the ball, the screen on the ball, where we are in defense, we just connect, I think it begins there,” Barnes continued. “Improving, blocking, such things. These things can come or go, but if you don’t have a communication piece and most importantly, it will lead to success or failure. I think it is where our focus is to be.”

It’s a focus on Spurs traditions to help them collect a larger franchise.
