The Boston Celtics had seven turnovers in the fourth quarter against the New Orleans Hornets on Sunday, though only six mattered, as the seventh was a shot-clock violation in the final seconds of the game. Six is still a ridiculous number for the fourth quarter of a close game. Last season the Celtics were 28th in the league at protecting the ball. I'm so accustomed to the green throwing the ball away that 15 turnovers for one game actually sounded low. Let's see if maybe we can start protecting the ball better tonight. We're on the road, and the Sixers are sure to be motivated.
Early in the season last year, when Doc said we weren't playing very well even though we had won 19 games in a row on the way to a 27-2 start, he was talking mostly about sloppy play and turnovers. Hopefully Rondo can start putting all that money he just pulled down to some good use.
