Because they remember with detailed accuracy the couple of times that they got stuck behind the old lady writing a check or the clerk who needed a price check but the hundreds of times they went through without a hiccup are instantly forgot.
I mean, think about how much time we spend on this forum. If Monty does make a mistake like that, we read hundreds of posts about it, but don't read a thing when the rotations are good. That makes it seem like it happens more often than it really does. But I would bet that if we really went back and tracked how many times he sat a "hot hand", it would be in less than 5% of all games. And its almost always Gordon.
