Statisticaly are there hot/cold streaks? I have heard otherwise. That just because a player makes or missed X number of shots they are not more likely to make or miss the next. Each shot is just following averages. So by that standard if a good shooter is missing shots in the game they should keep shooting the normal shots. I think I prefer shooters who stay confident in their shot and don't worry about missing a few in a row. Additionally if they stop shooting then the defense will know and start cheating away from their man making it harder on the team. I think a chucker is someone that shoots a low percentage (not just one game but overall) in high volume. I didn't really watch JM but stats wouldn't ever put him in the chucker category for me, even if he had off nights like all players do. I would guess this is a matter of personal dislike of a player. I dislike Korver a lot and would never want him on our team for being selfish for his record and hurting our playoff seed to get it. I could equally call him a chucker for shooting a bunch in games when he had too many misses and we lost but statistically he is not a chucker. He took the same shots when open and sometimes had bad games.
