    Guys face it TURNOVERS have killed this team all year. Watching the game last night was sick. I've seen high school teams protect the ball better. Turnovers mean less shot attemps and lead to fast break points for the other team. Does anyone know what the points of turnovers were for the series with the Lakers??? The team is good if they don't turn the ball over!!!!

    Still a Htownrocketfan:D

    27 points yesterday. I think it was extremely high yesterday. Certainly, they lost poise and were scared and concerned the outcome too much. But the direct problem led to yesterday's high turnover ratio was that they went away from their system. They shot the ball so well in the first half, but I was so worried, because when you shot well, you tend to go freelancing, not getting your big man involved naturally. You would not shoot high percentage thoroughout the whole game on the road. We shot well, but were only up 1. When the Lakers raised their defensive intensity, our shots stopped to fall, then we forced inside. But there was no flaw at all, which led to tons of turnovers, started from our big man to guards. Hopefully, we can do better in this department next season.
