Do the Trail Blazers have a Toumani Camara problem?
New graphic shows Portland is hemorrhaging turnovers, especially live-ball turnovers that frequently lead to fastbreak points & easy buckets for the opponent.
A major issue plaguing the Blazers this season that needs addressing

Deni Avdija tonight:
- 18 points | 33.3% FG | 48.4% TS
- 8 rebounds

Near triple-double in a relatively inefficient performance per his standards.
