Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 1075547, member: 127"] Nice info. Thanks. Wonder if our opponents slowing down the pace to get a better shot against the zone has affected our offensive pace. If opponents are dictating that we play defense for long periods , it maybe affecting the risks we take in pushing tempo and taking quick shots ourselves. What I also realized is our fg% has been declining too. 2014- .437 2013- .439 2012- .467 2011- .472 2010- .516 So the question is: does the slowing tempo help create our declining fg% or did a decline of scorers, shooters, speed result in a strategy of slowing the tempo (the opponent also can't score when we have the ball either) and making us dependent on our strong defense more. Regardless, the change from our normal face paced tempo of the past is interesting. [/QUOTE]
