Fast Breakin Blazers - What would you give?


I think most everyone would love to see the team score in transition more. It just didn't happen under McMillan (despite the annual pre-season promises). In fact last season was the blazers best of the last 5, when they finished the season 24th (out of 30) in the league in fast break points per game* (perhaps because Canales was at the helm for a chunk of the season)?

Check it out:

Season, FBpts/game, Rank, Median (15th best team)

2011-12, 10.9 , 24 , 13.0

2010-11, 10.2 , 29 , 13.8

2009-10, 9.5 , 29 , 14.3

2008-09, 9.0 , 29 , 11.6

2007-08, 7.9 , 30 , 11.6

*Per TeamRankings.com

As a fan I would trade an average of a couple additional turnovers per game for an 5 extra fast break points. That would put the Blazers solidly in the upper half of the league, at least. And make them more watchable. Anyone other fans willing to trade 1 turnover for say, every extra 3 easy points?
