The Downbeat - 5 August - The Big 3 Edition

  1. Those numbers from yesterday (11.1, 10.3, 9.3 -- 25.5, 16.2, 18.5 -- 20.7, 18.6, 19.2) were the Magic 9 lotto numbers that would have netted you about $65M. Too bad you didn't figure that out. Of course you would have had to have rounded, but I couldn't make it that easy, right? Coincidentally, they happen to also be the RPG per 36, the PPG per 36, and the PER for Karl Malone, Paul Millsap, and Carlos Boozer respectively in their third seasons. Millsap has had a better FG% and blocked shots per 36 than the other two. FT% is almost dead even.
  2. So @lockedonsports challenged @emaynor3 to see who could have the most followers on Twitter by Friday. The loser has to buy lunch. At the time, Locke was ahead about 70 or so. As of this morning, Locke is at 1,384 and Maynor at 1,581. That's what happens when @D_Will_8_4real has everyone add you. So sign up for twitter if you haven't done so and follow @emaynor3 and then add Locke after Friday. The whole thing reminded me of when Elaine had a guy that would make bets with her that were obviously wrong like Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars. He was getting a date without having to ask her out. It's a no-lose situation. So in that case, I challenge @D_Will_8_4real to a twitter race, loser buys lunch.
  3. From @lockedonsports comes the following tweet from a DJ out of Miami: @SedanoShow Officially standing pat Or trading for Carlos Boozer in 48 hrs
  4. Does anyone on the Jazz make the leap this year? Or do we know what we have right now? I can tell you who I would like to take a leap.
  5. Holy crap. GI Joe has a 91% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. I don't know what to do with this news. No one is giving it glowing reviews, but it's an enoyable flick. I thought for sure it was going to be a steaming pile. Might have to go see it now. I was dead set against it before.
