We have to play very efficiently, very tough, very together right now.Ive been through tough stretches with multiple key personnel out before, and its very difficult. But its very important for me to stay positive and keep coaching these guys and keep talking about ways to put us in position to win. We gotta do the right things and find a way to get it done. Theres nothing easy about this.Barnes is averaging a career-high (team-high) 21.3 points per game this season. Hes led Dallas in scoring in eight of the teams first 12 games.We just have to keep the fight going, Barnes said. You cant feel sorry for yourself. You cant get down. The schedule doesnt get any easier. We just have to bring the same fight make or miss and just keep the energy up.The Mavericks are last in the NBA in defensive 3-point percentage while the Spurs are second in the league in shooting from beyond the arc, showing San Antonio is not a good matchup for Dallas at this stage in the season.The Spurs have won five straight and 19 of the last 23 regular-season meetings with Dallas, including all four contests between the teams last season.

The Racing 92 forward acknowledged that second spot would be an improvement on last term, when Wales ended up third in the table, but Saturdays 25-21 defeat against newly crowned champions England ended their title hopes.Wales will secure second position if they beat Italy at the Principality Stadium next Saturday. Asked if second place would see the current Six Nations campaign regarded as a successful one, Charteris said: No, because we were trying to win it.But if we come second, its one better than last year. Every year we go into the championship trying to win and with the confidence that we can. Weve come up short this year - we will go again next year.Charteris and his colleagues faced a Twickenham debrief at their Vale of Glamorgan training base on Monday, when their sluggish start against England was almost certainly a topic of discussion.Wales trailed 19-0 and 25-7 against England, while an uncharacteristic 19 missed tackles during the first half accelerated their demise.It was a bad day at the office for us - there is no hiding away from that, Charteris said. Wales were punished by England after a poor start at Twickenham We went out there with a goal to win the game and give us a chance to play Italy at home with a chance of winning the championship.dddddddddddd That didnt happen, and there are a lot of disappointed boys because of that.There were one or two things in that first half that we will have to address and change. Thats for us this week to have a look at, look back at the videos and work hard, because we have a really big game on Saturday again.We lost a Test match, but the environment we have is always very honest. If the boys play well, they will get praised and be told they played well, and if they play badly, we will be told we played badly.All the boys know we didnt perform as well as we could and should have performed, because we lost the game, so I dont think there will be any surprises in the review. We will take it on the chin and learn from it.I can promise you that going into the game, the boys were highly motivated because if we had won that game we would have had the opportunity to come back to Cardiff on the last weekend of the Six Nations knowing that a win would see us win the championship.Obviously, it didnt go how we wanted it to go in the game.I wish there was a simple answer, but its certainly not a lack of emotion or anything like that. We didnt transfer that preparation and state of how we were feeling into the performance, and that is what we have to address. Also See: Barnes talking points Campagnaro out of Wales clash ' ' '
