Scoring and shooting are historically at their lowest in the first month of the NBA season and then steadily climb. But that's not the way this season has started.
A new rim system is in place for the 2009-10 NBA season.To greet the new type of rims rolled in by the league last month, league-wide scoring has risen by nearly five points through the first seven days of the regular season compared to last season. Teams are averaging a hearty 99.96 points per game, up from 95.17 during the same span in 2008-09.
So what gives?
I know when they changes the rims at our local stadium, my shooting percentages went up! Read article and post your thoughts...
