The explanation of 70 to 100 is perfect.

Fast paced teams like Philly often shoot near 90, but have shot near 100.
Slow paced teams like the Pistons shoot about 70 something, sometimes in the 60's.

The actual average last season was 81 attempts. But, you have to take into count the freethrows also. Basically, the free throw attempts + the amount of shots should equal about 100. When teams only shoot around 60 shots, they usually have about 35 free throw attempts. When the teams who shoot about 80 shots they usually have only about 20 something attempts.
