Since statistical analysis is not your forte, I thought a more qualitative point of reference would better resonate with an accomplished wordsmith.
My point about your analysis, McDermott reference aside, is accurate.
I didn't do any "statistical analysis." I removed the few games Greene shot well from his total to demonstrate how poorly he shot the rest of the time. Which happened to be most of the time. It's perfectly logical and appropriate. You just don't like it because the result doesn't comport with your preconceived notions.
Look at it this way. These are the number of times PG4 made a particular number of threes in a game while averaging 5 attempts per game.
0 - 5 times
1 - 11 times
2 - 8 times
3 - 3 times
4 - 4 times
5 - 1 time
6 - 1 time
16 times he made one or fewer threes. Twice he made more than 5 threes. Which event is the outlier?
