OK, yes, randomness of ball bounces are one thing. But in a game where you only actually have one turnover, what regression are you discussing? We'll actually secure more TO's on tipped balls? I feel like there's a lot of further qualifying to do there to have any semblance of significance...

Nope. But if that's the case I'm assuming you understand exactly what I explained, and am surprised you would make a blanket statement like "That is called variance and Miami was on the extreme end of it in this game and that will regress towards the mean over other games." If turnovers are...
