Okay that meant less turnovers, but it also meant a lot of difficult halfcourt offense. Today is all about making quick decisions (against more legal defensive schemes) to create open looks and with that simply come more turnovers. That´s just what you have to accept.
If Luka played slower and more conservative, he´d only have two turnovers, but his lesser talented teammates would face a lot of lower quality shots. That´s what I mean, when I say Carlisle needs to leave Luka some creative freedom and he has to accept some of the flaws of players like WCS, too.
The Rondo thing was because Rondo wanted to walk the ball up the court and burn a bunch of shot clock dribbling around and Rick wanted him to get the ball out of his hands early in the possession. Luka isn't doing anything that he's being coached not to do, and he isn't screaming fuck you at the side line when Rick tells him what to do.
