What we Learned: Take Care of the Ball

the nba is back and yesterday was our first chance to check out how the lockout would change how the game is played this year. well after watching all five games i can say that turnovers and fouls will plague teams early and often as we move deeper into the season. this comes from a lack of being able to gel together in such a rushed offseason but this much i can say when these things subside, teams will be able to play a more efficient game together but the numbers are staggering. miami the team who won the largest also had the most turnovers as a team with twenty two while out in oakland the newest assembled team took better care of the ball than anyone with the clippers only committing ten. now i look at the first two weeks of this year as an extended preseason but if these teams dont find ways to tak care of the ball it could be a long season.
