“Our relationship is great”, Rice told sport.es. Despite the bumpy season for Barcelona in EuroLeague, Bartzokas still has the faith of both players and administration.
“I think he will stay”, said the player. “It’s always a sum of things. You can not blame just one person when things go wrong. You have to look at yourself and look where you come from. It’s very easy to point the finger at someone and tell them that’s the problem when things go wrong.”
The guard agrees with Bartzokas that lack of chemistry due to injuries played a key role. “It is the first time in my life that I have encountered so many obstacles, with so many injuries. We started well in Euroleague with a 4-2 record, but we lost 5 of our 8 best men, the oppontents analyzed us and we could not overcome their game.”
