That is definitely it, well at least part of it.

If we need a bucket this year, I am still not sure when it's coming from. Probably Dion off a screen or Kris slashing from the wing, but neither of those guys were shooting over 60% from the field.

I also think part of it is because we aren't blowing people away with our shooting percentages. We're 21st in EFG%, which is obviously very good, but we were second in 2010. The biggest strength of our offense is the lack of mistakes; we don't turn it over, which means more shots get put up, and we also have a great OR%, so even if we miss those extra shots, we're going to get some of those misses.

If you have one team that shoots 55%, and the other team shoots 52% or whatever, as a fan watching the games, we're probably always going to think th eteam that shoots better is the better offense.

We kind of have a Pitt offensive profile, as much as that might hurt people to read. They are always a great offensive team, but it is usually more because of the offensive glass, and to a lesser extent, the turnovers.

Edit: Moqui, I was on the Pom page today, the 2 point shooting% of James jumped out to me as well.  As stupid as it sounds, his goal should be to lower that %, because it means he's taking more shots.
