    i rather sacrifice some more TOs for more movement/motion in the offense

    As long as it translates into victories, I don't care how much movement or motion there is in the offense.

    Besides, the offense doesn't seem stagnant to me. Maybe it gets that way down the stretch, but they looked good in the wins on the road trip in those situations.

    TO are kind of a weird statistic.

    It definitely makes a difference in game to game situations and the overall success of the team but as pointed out, successful teams can get around it with good defense. The Celtics had the 7th most TOs last year, for example.

    TOs are weird but the big component out of TOs are the unforced ones that just come from not taking care of the ball and giving the other team points.

    We've also played the most road games. Keeping turnovers in check on the road is usually tougher than at home.
