the only reason for that field goal percentage stat is the sheer volume of shots taken.

A fast pace cannot explain away the solid opponents' fg% the 02/03 team managed during the regular season. And for those that are interested, the true shooting percentage for the 02/03 squad (51.5%) was slightly better than for the 04/05 squad (51.9%). Of course, leaguewide offensive productivity and efficiency were up this season relative to 02/03, so you have to take that into account when comparing statistics for the two years. In that respect I think it's somewhat of a toss-up trying to decide which defense was really better.
