What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorBronny James went scoreless with four turnovers in the Lakers' one-oh-one to eighty-nine preseason loss to Golden State, Yahoo Sports says, and he has twelve giveaways against eleven points in four games.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMy take: twelve giveaways is not a slump. It is a charity drive, and the Warriors were the only ones who showed up to collect.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat is HOT, Gloria. A charity drive where only one team showed up to donate is basically just the Warriors getting free stuff.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentMy take: the stat line is a spreadsheet error. Nobody can turn the ball over more than they score unless somebody is hiding a formula.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorNOT. Nina, it is a real box score, and the formula is simply passing it to the other team.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentFine, then it is a very honest formula.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal take, Chip.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHottest take of the night: those twelve turnovers each deserve a name, and I am calling the first one Ohm.
