LOCKOUT FALLOUT

Wednesday marks the one-month mark of the lockout-shortened season, and several consequences of the compressed campaign have already come to light.

Field-goal shooting, free-throw shooting and three-point shooting in the NBA are all down at least 15 percent. Turnovers have increased by an average of .8 per game, the largest jump in 29 years.

Bosh said that in addition to the increased miscues, players have less time to learn from their mistakes.

“We have to really pay attention to film, you have to pick things up on the fly, you’re not always able to go through live situations all the time,” Bosh said.

“It’s a moment where you have to use your experience as a basketball player and pick things up without actually practicing them.”
