The Thunder average 15.3 Turnovers per game this season. They averaged 16.3 in 2011-2012 when they went to the finals. The Heat have averaged 15.2 (2011-2012) the year they beat OKC in the finals. The 2008-2009 champion Celtics turned it over 15.6 per game when they won the title. There are certainly teams that turned it over less, but you can certainly compete for, and win a title, turning it over at the Thunder's current pace. It's good to have less turnovers, but overall offensive (and defensive) efficiency is more important... and the Thunder do well in that category.
