    Given the fact that we run a slow it down, low possession offense. Doesn't that mean that our turnovers numbers are actually worse than they appear. For example if you average 20 turnovers a game and you have 100 possessions, then you average a turnover 20% of the time or 1 in every 5 possessions. However, if you only have 80 possessions, that is 1 turnover in every 4 possessions and you turnover the ball 25% of the time.

    I don't know the real numbers, I'm just using those numbers for simple math. So last years and this years turnover numbers are even worse than they are on paper. Am I missing something?
