Turnovers are bad!

Kevin Pelton's take on it

Extracted paragraph

"""
Which bad traits in a young player are good indicators for future improvement, a la strikeout rate with Nate Silver's PECOTA? (Is it still mainly turnovers?)

In general, it's the ability to create offense. That manifests itself in usage rate, unassisted shots (not part of SCHOENE) and yes, turnovers. The latter is the most counterintuitive because obviously they are negative in the short term. In the long term, there is some evidence that high-turnover players develop more, presumably because they're trying to make plays and eventually those mistakes will become successes.

Well, if there ever was a silver lining, this would be it.

 

IF we Could PLAY EXCELLENT PERIMETER DEFENSE TONIGHT WE COULD WIN THIS ONE!

 

You're assuming those 40 FGs are twos

 

Who's the facilitator in place of Paul tonight for the Clips?

 

Asik is not gonna get it done in his current condition. He needs about 5 more games at 25 minutes+ to get into shape. Put the man on an elliptical with a decent 30 minute program and see if he can get 2000+ revolutions in the allotted time in the meantime.

 

Biggest game of regular season so far? You could make that argument, I think.

 

Yea, I'd agree with that. Biggest game

 

lol at biggest game with clippers. really vs a pretender. forget about contending altogether then.

 

2 more hours? Craaaaaaap.

 

Games in way too late may only watch till halftime

 

If SA closes, and Rockets win, SA will only have a 1/2 game lead

 

Bev is going to hound Paul and pick his pocket.

Watch out CP3, the Menace is coming at you!

Rockets win.

 

Unlikely.

Spurs are playing Detroit.

Debatable is they are tanking on purpose or
are just normal bad.

 

:grin:
Somebody has to make a gif of this with Asik's head on the troll and opponent players heads on those in the fellowship.

 

I can't think of a game this season I have been more amped for. They whooped us in game 3 and game 6. We are a completely different team now. They are what they were.

 

We are, but so are they. They've improved quite a bit defensively.

 

4-1 would be great on this road trip

 

Beverley has to be careful, CP3 gets those star calls.

 

Really getting tired of these late starts. Lets take it to the Clips.

 

damn I let my fandom got the better of me. I betted Rockets even though my model opposed it. GO ROCKETS!
