The only thing I can think of is the feel of the ball when they catch it being significantly different than the Spalding ball. Still that's a stretch.
New ball. No empty arenas. Plenty of reasons that would explain the decline. Thing is that other teams are doing a better job. Maybe because they always had better shooters. Maybe because they made the right adjustments.
Mavs are minus 3.5% from compared to last season. League is minus 1.9%.
Makes a big difference. Tonights game is a great example. Easy to put up nearly 100pts in three quarters on a good shooting night.
