Their pace has dropped by 4 possessions per game from 2007 as well which is down to their 2005 pace before the 24 second shot clock. 24% of their shots are three pointers this seson, down from 29% in 2007, which is probably good, since they are shooting 8 points worse from long range this season. Their offensive rebounding is the same as it was last season, while their field goal percentage is down 2 points.

Defensive Rebound Percentage: 67%
Seattle's defensive rating is improved significantly, down 6 points per 100 possessions from last season and their best rating since their 2004 championship season (95.06). Unfortunately, in 2004 they also had a much better offensive rating (102.32). They are holding teams field goal percentage three points lower than in 2007, and 5 points lower from long range. There defensive rebound percentage is three points worse than last season however.
As a team, if Seattle wants to make a serious push, they must improve their offense significantly. They need to improve their defensive rebounding, and they need to improve their three point shooting.
