This season, the San Antonio Spurs have fielded numerous inquiries of this nature. Too numerous to count. Regretfully, turnovers are also on the rise.
The Spurs’ poor ball security dominated a significant chunk of the news conference following the game for the second consecutive night. Point guard Tre Jones was questioned by ClutchPoints over the ongoing problem.
Simply put, we need to be more offensively incisive in what we do. The former Duke standout stated, “There are times when we don’t know if we’re popping to get open, cutting back door if guys are setting screens, or cutting to get open.”
We’re merely attempting to clarify our goals and get back on the same page. As a leader on the floor and a point guard, I strive to be more acute and let that guide our men.
The primary cause of Spurs’ most recent defeat was turnovers.
Turnovers were not just a factor in the Spurs’ Friday 114-113 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, but head coach Gregg Popovich claimed they were the primary cause.
“I felt that we were being arrogant. We were good enough to prevail. In the second half, we let a few easy threes go by. In the closing moments, we missed free shots. Hall of Famer “I don’t care,” he declared.
What matters to me is how hard we played. However, our mistakes cost them 24 points, indicating that carelessness was the game’s root cause. They were good enough to prevail. They did enough right to prevail. Although everyone makes mistakes, giving up 24 points off of turnovers usually results in a reprimand.
Devin Vasell, who scored a team-high 20 points in their consecutive defeat, concurred.
Yes, that causes us pain. Playing against that team is difficult, especially when Zion Williamson is filling in and rushing in transition. Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum are pushing for you. “We still had to play, despite all those mistakes and everything else,” the former Seminole from Florida State said. A few free throws. Although I may pinpoint faults here and there, we’re still developing. I believe we lost by about 30 or 40 points the last time we faced New Orleans. Thus, while we’re making a lot of progress, we still aim for victories.
Victor Wembanyama, a rookie sensation from San Antonio, has not succumbed to the turnover bug. He’s actually been hit the hardest by it. Wemby mishandled the ball six times, a game-high. The number one pick from the previous summer’s draft has turned the ball over at least six times in the last eight games for the fourth time.
Taking good care of the ball, gaining some high-energy steals, and racing back on offense. We have to keep the momentum going, the 20-year-old “Rising Star” stated.
What actions are available to us? We’re at a stage in the season where we discover a little bit about who we are, but we still need to remain focused on each and every one of the more than forty games we’ve played,” said San Antonio’s top scorer of the year. Additionally, every game matters. Since this has been one of, if not our greatest issue, all year, we can’t just ignore it.
Wemby is committing 3.2 turnovers per game on average this season. In comparison, he leads the NBA in blocks per game with 3.2.
