i'll try to do a more complete analysis of 4th quarter 3 point shots versus normal. I'd be sort of surprised if it turned out to be significantly different as we didn't change the probabilities at all.

I wonder what the math is in real life. On one hand there is more pressure in the 4th quarter, on the other hand the team that is up often plays less aggressive defense to avoid fouling in the act on 3 pointers. So i wouldn't be blown away if there was a slight uptick in 3 point percentage during the 4th quarter.

I could understand a slight raise in 3 point percentage, but certainly not on desperation 3s that are taken 2 or 3 seconds after the ball is inbounded on the other side of the field. Which seems to be what is happening.

as well don`t forget that player can shoot all game by empty bullets and at the end put 5 3pointers without any mistake.... That`s just a Random...

I think you are mistaking the point of this thread. The main problem is not that a player is hitting four 3 pointers in a row..that, however unlikely, can happen once in while (although it is happening way too often)..the problem is that these 3 pointers are coming after 2 or 3 seconds from the beginning of the offensive play. Those should be desperation 3s and should have a 1 in 50 chance of going in...

I agree with you that it`s too fast... I would like to see maybe at least 4-8 seconds...

For example, my starting guard has 3 FT shooting and 6 rebounding. My reserve guard has 7 FT shooting and 3 rebounding. Yet my starting guard was in the game (and shooting FTs) during the final sequence when they were systematically fouling me.
Same thing happened in this game: (2299462).
Also, one of my big men has 10 rebounding and 8 FT shooting (which is double what any one of my other big men has), yet he is never on the court in those situations.
