Indiana Pacers are on pace to have the best offensive rating of all time. Both absolute and relative.

Top 2 ABSOLUTE offensive ratings of all-time are this years Pacers and Hawks (123.6 and 119.4). The next 7 spots belong to teams that are playing this season.

But when we look from the RELATIVE perspective, things change. A LOT. Teams like 96/97 Bulls, 15/16 GSW, 03/04 Mavs, Nash's Suns, and other all-time great offenses slide in top10. But who is at the top?

2023/24 Indiana Pacers. They have the OffRtg 9% above the league average. This is a feat that no team has accomplished yet.

Here is the list of the top 10 relative offensive rating teams:

  1. Dallas Mavericks 2001-02 +6.99%

  2. Chicago Bulls 1996-97 +7.04%

  3. Utah Jazz 1996-97 +7.04%

  4. Sacramento Kings 2003-04 +7.11%

  5. Phoenix Suns 2006-07 +7.24%

  6. Utah Jazz 1997-98 +7.3%

  7. Golden State Warriors 2015-16 +7.52%

  8. Phoenix Suns 2004-05 +7.84%

  9. Dallas Mavericks 2003-04 +8.88%

  10. Indiana Pacers 2023-24 +9.07%

​

Can they keep this up?

Hope people see the value of legitimate playmaking from this.

Not to knock Hali, he’s an incredible playmaker but a lot of this has to do with the pacers having the fastest pace like ever, they run fast breaks basically all game.

Easier to score when your team plays zero D.
