December Over/Under #11 - Final

[PtldPlatypus]

Yes I know it's January, but I didn't do a "final jeopardy" style question for the OKC game, so today's question will end this month's game.

What's a good number of dunks for a team in a game? According to 82games, about 3% of our shot attempts are dunks. According to basketball-reference, we take 87.5 shots per game. So, about 3 dunks per game? The lowly Bobcats allow teams to dunk against them 5% of the time--surely we can do better than 3! Or maybe not...

Your mission, should you chose to accept it--predict the number of Blazer dunks that my lovely family will get to see as we attend our first game of the year tonight. Also, you must also wager a portion of your points earned to date on your answer. FYI, Unless someone can show me a location for team dunks in a game (bonus point for the first person who links me to one that I like), I will be using the ESPN play-by-play to ascertain number of dunks.

I see individual player dunks, but I don't see team totals or game totals.

Damn, I misunderstood the team was for the player. My bad ...

Sorry--I think I was unclear. This question is not "over/under 3", but specifically, "how many dunks?"

 

[Mediocre Man]

Is this the same as mine? We bet how many points? Do any carry over to next month?

Wager points, no carryover.

Shouldn't the final question be a yes/no question, and not one with more than two possible answers?

The final question should be whatever the person running the show wants to be. How about what color underwear is he wearing today?

If it only had two possible answers, then there would likely be only two possible winners (you, and the person with the highest score who picks opposite you). Open ended questions open it up to more potential victors, and invite more wagering strategy.

I disagree, but hey, no biggie...

He's a funny guy.

 

[BlazerWookee]

Pick and bet are the same number...

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I bet we get this many dunks:

And I wager this many points:
