Okay, so last night I was trying to see how many 3-pointers Michael Porter Jr. would make. Here’s the whole thing that I did, from start to finish.
First, I checked the schedule to see if the Nuggets were even playing. You know, gotta start with the basics. They were, against the [Opponent Team Name]. Got that locked in.
Then, I tried to find a decent way to track it live. I didn’t want to just rely on checking the score every five minutes. That’s just annoying. I wanted to see each 3-pointer he made. So I looked for live stats trackers. ESPN is okay, but sometimes it lags. I ended up settling on the NBA app itself. It’s usually pretty accurate, even though the interface is a bit clunky. They mostly get it right
I set up the NBA app on my phone so I could see the game stats easily. I mainly focused on Michael Porter Jr.’s player stats, specifically the 3-pointers made and attempted. Kept it on the corner of my screen while I was doing other stuff, like watching some [TV Show Name] on TV and stuff.
Throughout the game, I kept a running tally in a notepad app on my phone. Each time I saw MPJ nail a three, I’d quickly jot it down. Just a simple “MPJ 3” each time. If he missed, I didn’t bother recording it, just wanted to track the makes. I also noted down the quarter in which he made the shots, just to see if he was clutch in the fourth or anything.
It was kinda a slow start for him, honestly. He didn’t make his first three until the second quarter. I was starting to think this was a bust, lol. But then he hit another one in the third, and two more in the fourth. So, it picked up a little.
Once the game was over, I tallied everything up. I checked the final box score on the NBA app just to be sure I didn’t miss anything. Turns out, my notepad app was spot on.
Final count: Michael Porter Jr. had 4 three-pointers last night. Not a crazy number, but not bad either.
Did I win anything? No, I wasn’t betting or anything. Just did it for fun, kinda like a personal challenge to see if I could track it accurately. Plus, I’m a Nuggets fan, so always good to see them playing well. Or at least, MPJ hitting some shots!
Anyway, that’s pretty much the whole process. Kinda simple, but it kept me entertained during the game.
