What???

We have ranked near the bottom of the league every week this season in pace with CHRIS PAUL as our point guard. How can that possibly not bother you?

Here are the top 10 in pace, and where they rank in TO's:

Pace- TO's
1- Minnesota- 28th
2- New York- 25th
3- Denver- 4th
4- Houston- 19th
5- Golden State- 16th
6- Lakers- 1st
7- Phoenix- 7th
8- San Antonio- 10th
9- Memphis- 22nd
10- Chicago- 20th

What does that tell you? Because it tells me that the good teams in the league can play a uptempo pace and keep the to's down. We're playing one of the slowest paces in the league, and 4 of the top 10 teams (or 40%) have less to's per game than we do. For good teams, more tempo does NOT equal more turnovers.

We also don't have players to play in a halfcourt game, are you comfortable with the outside shooting of Belinelli and Ariza along with the post game of West and Okafor? I sure as hell am not.

BTW, do you have something against the Thunder? Because they are 14th in pace and 9th in turnovers, both better numbers than we are posting. Heck, Golden State is 5th in pace and are averaging less than one more turnover per game than we are.
