Does the "hot hand" actually exist?
Do the players get more accurate as they make more shots?
Check out our article on eurohoops to get the answer...

Sometimes it's interesting to watch how the teams perform in different contexts.
That's @bczalgiris in LKL, they stand out, miles and miles far from their competitors.
Giannis has the third worst +/- in the league after three games.
-62 — Wiggins
-55 — Diabate
-54 — Giannis
I got a great idea (you can call it an assist) by @bogrinho - he shared his observation that although Greece has many referees with European experience, the finals are officiated mostly by refs who only work in Greece.
Let's see what happened over the last 3 GBL seasons 🧵👇
EuroLeague refs only: every season, just 2 or 3 Greek league referees also officiated EuroLeague games.
Together they got 8 of the 42 finals' slots.
⚠️That was probably the craziest week on the internet for security issues.
So, here is a relevant side note: Everything around 3StepsBasket is running the latest software (as always, but just wanted to let you know).
...And there's an update you might want to check out. 😉
Some of the numbers around the lineups with NHD on the floor:
📉 -33 NETRTG with Grant
📊 Nunn used almost 38% of possessions when sharing the floor with NHD today
🚫 Zero offensive rebounds with Francisco in almost 110 minutes together
Fair to complain?
Nigel Hayes-Davis after the tough Panathinaikos win over Baskonia:
"There's a lot of players that make a lot of money so we just made our shots.
But we played horrible... we didn't play up to the Panathinaikos standard. Especially with the names on the back of the jerseys we have in our locker room...
Everyone knows the names that we have in our locker room. We need to make sure we play basketball as a team and not try to solve everything by ourselves...
What just happened in Greek basketball? Let's see what the data say.
Do some clubs do better when a specific ref is on the floor?
We checked every ref who had 12+ games of the same club in the Greek league since 2023.
That's 50 combos with one standing out.

1/6
To be fair:
- Promitheas also does well at the line with a few other referees, without her.
- Kolossos and AEK swing even more between their best and worst referee.
- Having many permutations of referees and clubs, a result this extreme can appear by pure chance.
5/6
