i just don't get it. why do the Celtics turn the ball over so much? it seems to be their biggest weakness and is hugely frustrating when you watch them. the team's been together for a year and half. one would hope that they've figured it each other out. anyone have any explanations?

Docs offense is basically move the ball until you find the open man.

Sounds like the beginning to a Seinfeld sketch... I mean really, what is the deal? Who are, these people?

The only GOOD passers on the team are Rondo and KG. But many more are "laudably willing passers".

Only 10 turnovers last night, an odd time to start this thread...

I think the Celtics have 2 main faults with turnovers. First, trying to do the perfect but low probability passes, such as threading bounce passes through traffic to Perkins in the paint - in the low liklihood that they actually get through, there is little chance Perk is going to be able to get down and grab the thing anyway. The second is offensive fouls, the C's seem to pick up a lot of moving screen calls, and PP and TA drive into traffic a ton hoping to generate fouls with the result they get a lot of charging calls.
