Yes, that is true. If it continues over some significant stretch, after going long enough without it, then something has likely changed. That doesn't necessarily mean, however, that what is changed is the guy's shooting ability. Could be that open shots weren't there before, in the last sample, and now they were.
Keep in mind that 40-point games from Dirk are statistical anomalies, too, if you want to look at it that way. Doesn't mean that they aren't always lurking, if the situation avails itself.
I'm not trying to fight with you. I'm just saying that Lebron and/or Wade may decide to rise up and hit a few more threes in this series, and maybe at a big clip, and especially if we roll the red carpet for them. If they do that, I wouldn't be one to say "No way! He's a 35% shooter!"
