Fact is, Mavs' fans have been spoiled in the last few seasons when it comes to the low double digit or single digit per game turnovers which the Mavs would often commit, but that advantage was negated in part by the poor defense of the Mavericks. This year, if the defense improves in getting stops it should make up for the increase in turnovers.

Well, if that supplies us with surplus (extra wins, better playoff performance), I'll take that. That said, I do hope Marquis doesn't miss too many games. It's not just about Marquis's ability to handle the ball, it's his high-percentage shooting (not including 3-point range, of course) and his defense that I'll miss the most.
