Pelton mail: Do all the 3s actually make the Rockets more consistent?

This week's mailbag features your questions on 3-point randomness, better lineup data and getting rid of MVP voters.

You can tweet your questions using the hashtag #peltonmailbag or email them to peltonmailbag@gmail.com.

Ok!
With Chris Paul/James Harden together, the Rockets only have 1 game with an oRTG below league average. Is it possible that they've crossed a 3PA threshold that eliminates some downward variance due to eFG% of taking that many 3PA? #peltonmailbag

The default assumption is that as teams take more 3s, that means more randomness and less predictability in this performance.
