Re: Official NBA Season Thread
I don't think # of shots is the best way to gauge pace. Wouldn't change of possesions be better?
Also, the game was different in the 60's and 70's then it is now. The three point was added, lowering FG%. Not sure how to prove this, but I think players are probably better at shooting now then in the past. |
