So I'm not judging him on his contract (which sucks yes we know but that dead horse hasn't just been beaten, it's been turned into powder), or on what Dell told us. I'm judging him on who he is and what he's done for us in the past. Which is be a somewhat streaky, late game risk who will give us something between 15-20 points on most nights. Sometimes he looks awesome and you wish he'd do it more, more often he looks mediocre. Oh well.
It's not making excuses at all. All I said was, if your problem is the turnovers, the guy with literally 4x the guy you're complaining about might be of slight concern. I already said I'm not forgiving Jrue's turnover, just saying that it might not have mattered if we had been in the better position which was easily available had there not been multiple unnecessary turnovers earlier by other people. Because context matters.
And yes, Boogie had 8 turnovers. Unless you're playing with a 60% usage rate, that's still terrible. He had an assist to turnover ratio of 0.75. That's seriously bad, and MUCH worse than Holiday's turnovers.
