@feelingsupersonic, you're spot on. Not only that, but when a team is constantly pushing the tempo like our Rockets like to do, the passes in transition are way more risky than passes in a half court set. It was mentioned somewhere that perhaps a high turnover rate was a red herring, that there is no direct correlation to a teams' success and their turnover rate. Some notable teams in the top half of the most turnover prone in the league thus far:
1. Rockets
2. Thunder
3. Spurs
4. Nuggets
5. Lakers
6. Warriors
7. Pacers
9. Hawks
13. Clippers
Harden wouldn't get passes on his turnovers either if he was only putting up 14 pts per game. So if he puts up 30 points but has about 4 more turnovers than you would like to see and the opposition is shooting 50%, then those turnovers countered about 4 pts out of the 30. Big Whoop.

Harden doesn't take as big a rap from his turnovers because he scores a lot, also Lin is the pg and expected to take care of ball more plus recently he hasn't had that many assists. I think in most cases his race plays a only small role in his turnover scrutiny.
