Yea. Without looking, it feels like it's been more of an issue more recently. I think we started the season really well.

1 good thing is we are forcing turnovers a lot too, at least offsets it a bit.

His handle is so bad. Doesn't really matter, but it's just bad.

yes its the live ball turnovers that kill the pels.
occasionally you'll hit a patch where the opponent starts raining 3's (last nite, BOS) but theres nothing you can do about that and the pels opponents are are actually well below league average in 3P% against them

it's the turnovers

Those numbers show that we are a damn good team. Not a fluke team or a lucky team, but a damn good team.

It’s kind of funny how he fumbles the ball around some but his hands are so fast and strong that he usually corrals it back before anyone steals it. It almost is a helpful bc defenders lose focus bc the ball is loose just to have him scoop it back up and blow past them.

lol Zion's handles for a big are absolutely elite. That's part of what makes him so unstoppable. When you have the ball as much as he does and takes on as much of the offensive load as he does, AND that load comes almost entirely in the paint with the entire defense packing it in, you're bound to have a few turnovers. But, to say his handle is bad is just false.

You know, I thought that it's been getting better as the season has progressed?

Refs do their homework too so if they know this they look for it, leading to it being called more. They need to work in making it happen less.

It’s really not? It’s not near where it needs to be for him to get where he needs to be as a player. But you act like he’s fricking Kendrick Perkins out there dribbling
