Nearing the Finish...

I'm making slow progress on analyzing the statistics I've found on bleacherreport, nba.com and other sources on the Internet. It is easy to find correlation of team success to three-point shooting, but difficult to prove causation based on how many other factors the game is affected by (superstar talent, defense, coaching etc.)

On another note, Troy Daniels who I mentioned earlier on this blog for his three-point shooting success on the D-league team that shoots more threes than anyone else, had success tonight after being inserted into the Rockets lineup when Chandler Parsons fouled out in OT of Game 3 at Portland in the first round of the playoffs. Jeremy Lin lost the ball on a broken possession, recovered it, and kicked it to Daniels who hit a three with 11 seconds left to put the Rockets up 3. A small, singular moment in time, not much evidence for anything, but good to see someone who dedicates themselves so much to their craft rewarded.
