I'd be with OKC on this match up and proceed to the next match. Yes of course homecourt advantage will be a factor but they're all pro at this. SGA have proven himself enough to bag the victory. However, I do think that Pelicans will at least be able to prevent a sweep victory given that there are McCollum and Trey as mentioned, who also showed good performance on Game 2. Scores aren't that far and gap isn't that big so I think it would be reasonable to say that in Game 3, Pelicans might be able to get it but not the match up against OKC. Pelicans without Zion is tough for the franchise. I actually believe that they will have a chance with him being on the playoffs however as reports have stated, his left hamstring strain hasn't fully recovered yet which is really a struggle for the team.

I don't know why the Lakers management broke the 2020 bubble Lakers roster because that's the best one that I've seen with Dwight Howard as the center. He likes to bully ball Jokic underneath the rim and it was so effective as Jokic stats was down big.
Yeah, they badly need a better pointguard but they also need sharpshooters, those who can really contribute in high pressure games like this one. DLo is good when he gets hot so he is more of a shooting guard. Wait for the ball to get in his hands and shoot.
I think the Lakers might just win one game as Coach Malone may try to restrict the minutes of Jamal and Jokic in game 4 and then end it in Game 5 with a fresh stamina in their homecourt.

I've been around the crypto block a few times, but BlackCardCoin setup has me intrigued. They're going for a whole different angle –  making crypto as spendable as cash. We're talking a dedicated crypto card with worldwide use, cashback rewards in crypto, and the ability to stake their coin for fee-free perks. It's like they want to bridge that gap between our crypto holdings and real-world spending.

The concept is undeniably cool, and honestly, kind of overdue. But the fact you need to hold $BCCoin to even get the card has me raising an eyebrow. Plus, all those rewards... I'm always a bit skeptical about long-term sustainability. Anyone else digging into this? Is BlackCardCoin the real deal or just another flashy promise although I have seen them dishing out the token on some exchanges already.

Good luck with the Knicks bro but I'm with the Sixers, I want them to even the series and they should start by winning this game.

Speaking of the Heat, I think they are an underrated team but they don't have the kind of talent like other teams who have the best players. Coach Spo got extended with a new contract, so he is in for long term. That said, I think Miami management should consider taking this opportunity to invest on more star players as they have the best coach, that way they might experience another championship again.

If coach Spo handles the Clippers where they have 4 legit star players (Kawhi, WB, PG, and Harden), this should get more than a back to back championship, I hope the heat will get to that level of player selection in the future.

only a team with a good coach can beat them because their roster are not compose of a star players. Jimmy is their best player but not even in the all star, and the very surprising fact is that with Jimmy they beat the best team in the NBA based on the regular season ranking. Imagine, they were given +14 by the bookies, that's how big underdog they are, and they came out strong with a great adjustment and beat the celtics by 10. I think we should believe in Shaq now as he predicted that Miami will win by 10 in game 2, he know that the Miami is good and the Celtics will choke.

What are some of the hobbies that you have picked up as a result of your long term gambling but that doesn't involve gambling? If you are an avid gambling who is not addicted that is you have control over your gambling you may have caught yourself unconsciously being attracted to so other activities within the sphere of gambling that doesn't involve wagering. As for me one of such hobbies /pastime is being active in a forum like this where there are gambling enthusiasts. I enjoy joining in the discussions that go on here, I also enjoy sharing tips and reading the experiences of other people with similar interests in gambling.

POW has attack vectors.

clogging the mempools with ordinals and hashrate manipulation is being done as I type.

I am a fan of POW not pos but POW has flaws.

POS is simply a terrible idea 💡.

This is definitely the saddest part. People are overreacting and suddenly saying that Lebron isn't the greatest, and sure I can understand not putting him at number one, which I would put him at this point easily, he has been number one plenty of times before for me, but lets assume that you don't put him there, everyone MUST put him at their top three, this dude has 40k-11k-11k and 5 titles and 20 seasons of all star and many MVP's (some he got robbed) and he is doing insanely well.

I have to say that at nearly 40 years old, he could lose, that's normal and with a team that has only AD helping him, it is not a shocker that they are losing to the champions, why would that be weird, Nuggets and Jokci is at their peak prime right now.

People always seem drawn to meme coins. There are so many with quirky names like Pepe, Bonk, and Meme. In 2023, a bunch of these coins hit the market and made lots of folks rich. Then in 2024, it happened again with coins like WIF, BOME, and SLRF. Now, everyone's talking about Simsol. People love meme coins because they can make you rich quick. It's kind of wild how much excitement they bring to the market. But, it's important to remember they're risky too. What's your opinion about this?

∆ J. Hart 1+ 3pts / M. Robinson 1+ blocks @1.80 ∆  X

Game 1 of PHI/NY is arguably one of the swingiest quarter-to-quarter games i've seen in a while (1Q PHI+9, 2Q NY+21, 3Q PHI+15, 4Q NY+10).

A couple of things that stood out to me, which i want to include in my bet today. The Sixers are playing Brunson and DiVincenzo tight and giving J. Hart wide-open looks from deep, daring him to shoot like he is Ben Simmons. Lol  I mean, it's not the worst strategy, Hart is only shooting 31% from three this season, you'd rather leave him open than someone else, right?

M. Robinson played 30 minutes, his most since returning from injury. Even if he continues to come off the bench, his minutes are safe, he matches up better with Embiid than Hartenstein. He had four blocks in Game 1, but it felt like it was twice as many, he was that dominant defensively.

I agree that there won't be any serious type of "fight" going on, we will see the fight cut short if anything even remotely serious ends up for any of the fighters, but mine is more like unexpected punches type of thing. While we know that Mike Tyson packs a punch, meaning he could punch just once, a proper hit, like connects right to the chin, and Jake would be out cold, but I believe Jake would recover from that easily.

However, considering his age, I fear that if Jake gets lucky, not something that's easily possibly, I mean like lets assume he gets purely lucky, and punches right on the chin, Mike could have something that ruins rest of his life, just one bad punch and suddenly it's very dangerous for Mike Tyson. That's what I fear, that one punch.

It was a dominant win by Heat, it seems like they really don't need Butler after all as we can see the ball movement is very flawless and everyone is getting a good touch. Herro and JJJ doing their thing,  they lead the team in this big win and I'm happy that this rookie is getting his minutes and attempts he needed.

now, it's all set for this team, they'll face the Celtics but not in the ECF, and I think this isn't an easy money for the Celtcs bettors as Heat have prove time and time again that they are a legit team, they work based on their culture and we should understand that.
