RE: The Story of the Season IMO
The Mavs through 16 games have shot 68-249 on OPEN threes. That is 27.3% on 15.6 attempts per game.
Last year the Mavs shot 36.9% on OPEN threes on 16.5 attempts per game.
The Mavs are shooting 9.6% less on OPEN threes. And when you take open and wide-open looks together the Mavs are basically generating the exact same number of good looks from three as last year. But they are converting them at an alarmingly lower rate.
The Mavs have scored 103.6 pts/gm and given up 105.5 pts/gm, -1.9 net. If they were converting open three point looks at the same rate (not to mention open two point looks which are also down) they would have 108.1 pts/gm and a net rating of +2.6.
