I think you're correct.  Also, if you carry it out another decimal point, Ray actually beat House:

Ray: 168 for 378 = .4444

Eddie:  151 for 340 = .4441

It's pretty amazing to see Eddie put up almost as many 3's that year as Ray did last year.  I always felt Eddie was very one dimensional, but I wonder how much our team misses a guy like him.  That's a lot of points at a very good clip.
Eddie, despite his horrible facilitating and even worse defense, literally carried the bench that year.  He was vitally important during the championship year as well.  I think to say that our team misses his explosive energy off the bench is a huge understatement (especially after Posey, Powe, and TA all left).
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Tommy point to mgent.  It's nice to see a member of the sports media give credit where it's due. 

I'm guessing these guys steal stuff from the blogs all the time.  On this one, it probably would have been too blatant not to give credit.
