Thing is that with the improved defense of the Mavs this season (or projected, as the case may be), an increase in turnovers, while not desirable, shouldn't necessarily change the outcomes of games too often. 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.

Exactly.
The team ratio of turnovers forced to turnovers surrendered is probably at least as important as individual assist to turnover ratios.

Well, doing a quick look at the stats it appears that the Mavs led the league last season in own Vs opposing turnovers +/- at +2.6.
