There is an interesting paper on the topic of streaks and "momentum" available here. The basic gist of it is that even though fans and athletes tend...
So, what you're saying is that individual games and streaks don't really matter that much, it's what happens over the course of the entire season?...

I think Rudy's slump started around the time he got his hair cut shorter. All his confidence was in that hair...
So you're saying that Richard Jefferson would have completely transformed our offense into a well-oiled machine?
Hard to win games when you're missing open looks and giving up second chance points. Period.
Oberto is dirrrrrrty.
