W4L & KG, you guys are arguing the same thing, except KG wants to make is a possibly predictive thing and W4L is saying it can't be, just let the one who is made the last two shots shoot again. If he misses, you don't feed him and if he makes it, feed him again. You are both saying you can't count on it lasting and KG has proved that it doesn't last longer than 4 or five shots.

Thanks to all who positively contributed and there is definitely a phenomenon of a "hot hand", but it is variable and unpredictable.

Yep that is what I said and believe I proved without much doubt. You can't rely on it as a way to win games.
