Common element to last 4 games of TO hell

No Acie, no more AJ, no more Lue. Since the Kings game we are averaging more than 20 turnovers per game. We really have no shot at winning the rest of the season unless Acie is able to come back soon or a veteran PG is released and signs with us.

It's ironic since people claim we got the PG now.

[lifelong]

oh well, at least the squawk looks sweet now.

We do have THE PG, unfortunately he's the ONLY PG that we have and he has a banged up hand and heel.

Looks like the Hawks busted on another trade. Yeah, it's a trade they had to make, but it's another trade that will end up being meaningless in the end.

But we've turned up the tempo a lot too. Playing West coast teams and their kind of ball gets up and down the court faster and we've paid the price.

For every fancy pass Smith makes he always seems to throw two more away.

I like the fact that he is so willing to pass the ball and it is making the team better. However He gets caught in the air so much and instead of thinking makes really bad easy to steal passes (or they go out of bounds).

If he would take his time and think before he makes these impossible passes he would cut his turnovers in half. This has been a constant this season.

Marvin needs to learn to catch the bloody ball.

We played that style against the Kings and were right around our season average with 17 turnovers. Then Acie gets hurt and we spend the next 4 games watching our forwards fumble the ball all over the place. I think the pace had something to do with it but we're screwed unless Acie comes back.

110+ Turnovers over the past 5 games.

Pardon my terrible math, but that's around 20+ turnovers a game. You just can't win when you're giving the ball away like that. I say they should just have ball handling drills for the rest of the year.

[NJHAWK]

Its really not Bibby with alot of turnovers. Its guys who have played together for a long time like JJ/Smoove Marv and Chills. They look like they just met each other.

[Plainview1981]

All I can say is that they found another way to lose. Hold a team to a record 5 points and still lose. I wonder if there is a way they haven't lost yet.

The Hawks haven't picked up the pace at all. Their fast break has slowed down a lot actually.

The Hawks went a span of about 6 weeks where they AVERAGED 20 fast break points a game. They only got 12 against Utah and only 9 against GS.
