Let's talk about the Champion 1980 LA Lakers. How many points per game do you think they gave up? Did you guess 109?
That team had 15 more possessions per game than the Hornets, Spurs, Mavs, Celtics, etc. The game is extremely slow now. The Suns, Warriors, and Nuggets would all be one of the slowest teams in the league.
Teams really have to work to create good shots. Teams are taking 10% less shots than in 1980 and doing so at a pretty similar efficiency. It's harder to get open shots in the NBA today.
