1061  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel selling your BTC against your plans? on: March 08, 2023, 06:47:59 PM
It depends on the urgency and reason why you had to take out some of your coins just to fill the payment that you needed.

What I mean is if that urgent is all about the missing payments of some loans/debts, bills or etc., then most probably, you will get disappointed and will never forget the moment you took out a fraction of your investment just to secure it because it's not that you really didn't expected that to happen as most bills are already schedule way ahead.

But if it's a matter of life and death kind of urgency or even a sudden injury in one of your family or friends (I hope not) then there's no need to fret about the coins you took out because money and investments are always replaceable especially after the fact that you mentioned that the market is still red, but lives aren't.

I’m watching this game on TNT between the Timberwolves and the 76ers and Joell Embiid and Anthony Edwards are having themselves game already in the first quarter. They are both on a pace to score over 40 points so that could be something to keep an eye on. Close game too. Definitely off to a good start for game one of the doubleheader.
Who do you think is going to win. I think the Timberwolves are the team that is going to end up winning the game. They just look like they play better as a team but the 76ers have the better players today. I know there is luck involved but I think the Timberwolves got this and I might put a small bet on them.
It's difficult to predict who will win. Both teams are good, especially Timberwolves which are definitely upgraded after getting Mike Conley. If you are betting live, a good chance would be while the 76ers are on the lead if you will be taking the home team Timberwolves. Right now, they are on the lead so for me it's a no-go. I'd rather take the 76ers for now.
I didn't add this game in my parlay as it could turn out as a wild game and any team could win. I don't want to underestimate the 76ers even without James Harden. Tyrese Maxey can fill the hole that he left.

Even with that good game from Edwards, without the support from the entire team it can't produce a win, unlike with the Sixers,
just like you mentioned Maxey fill it up and provide the help that Embiid needed.

They dominated the game from 2nd quarter and keep the lead until the last quarter, very risky but the outcome favors you as Sixers
win the game.

Good pick!

The 76ers don't need Harden as Maxey always steps up. I understand why the Timberwolves were favored in that game, but honestly, it's not attractive from my end as Embiid is still unstoppable, despite the Timberwolves having Gobert, a former Defensive Player of the Year.

I like the development of the 76ers. They seem to have impressive chemistry because even if one of their star players misses the game, they are still capable of winning against any team.

What I like about this Tyrese Maxey beside the fact that he is viewed as an underrated player, is that the kid isn't afraid to fail, he will always keep on resisting and attempting to do a field goal and it doesn't really matter to him if it's on the paint or beyond the arc. He will always try to find a way how to make it and look at him now, a much more reliable player and a key for the 76ers success.
1063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Alejandro Santiago for WBC bantamweight title on: March 07, 2023, 08:09:08 PM
I guess their camp already know Donaire's current situation and probably already acknowledge that if Donaire will not be successful versus Santiago, then a retirement will be his only option. You know, that is just sad because it's not a good exit for him but it is what it is. Well, in the positive side, Donaire's chances are greater than decent because this Santiago is not really a threat.

If only Jason Moloney didn't back out of the supposed mandatory fight against Nonito Donaire for the vacant WBC Bantamweight title, he is the best opponent for Donaire to see if the 40 years old former champion can still dominate the bantamweight division now that Inoue is out of the list.

If Santiago will able to pull an upset against Donaire, then Donaire has no chance to beat other bantamweights.

Although I'm not looking at that upset possibility since in the very first place, Santiago was just being considered as the contender for the WBC Bantamweight title because boxers above him in rankings already have their respective fight schedule.

now that magsayo lost his recent fight, it is up to donaire to raise the flag of the PH again. this will be a good retirement reward if in case he will end up winning this fight. time to call it a day if he will be successful on this one. don't chase anymore belts as he is not getting any younger. enjoy the retirement and if he doesn't want to get out of this sports, he can be a coach to the younger filipino boxers.

Winning this fight will be a good exit for him for sure but that is if Nonito Donaire is indeed looking forward to hang his gloves and retire once the fight ends, most probably he will have an announcement after this fight to clarify his intentions to the sport and to settle the issue whether he will retire or not.

But considering that he will be the winner here and what he have said before, he might claim another title before hanging his gloves. It's really up to him.

Yes, we have 8 games later. Quite a lot of good games to be honest but I think I will just filter some of them because some stars players of the Bucks and Knicks are probable to play in their respective games later, so I'll just pass for those teams for now just to make sure especially they got a huge handicaps.

Golden State Warriors -4 vs Oklahoma City Thunders
Memphis Grizzlies vs Los Angeles Lakers -2
Philadelphia 7ers +2 and ML vs Minnesota Timberwolves

Good choice, we almost have the same bets my friend. I got no doubts about the Warriors as well even if they will play at the Thunders homecourt and besides, they needed a win today because they failed in their last game with the Lakers where they got an unexpected results as the Lakers were also performing well at that game.

I got the Warriors -4, Lakers -2 and Wizards -6.5

If the Lakers successfully got through with healthy the Warriors, I bet they could also find a way to defeat the starless Grizzlies as Ja Morant is now out for the rest of the season.
1065  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of Russian and Ukrain war on world economy on: March 06, 2023, 05:37:35 PM
The bulk of Armed Forces of Ukraine is no longer Ukrainian at this point, it consists of some "unofficial" NATO troops and takfiri terrorists transferred from Syria to fight Russia. Besides, a large part of Ukraine population has already fled the country. Considering how they've shown to fight for a decade in Syria, I agree that Ukraine can keep it up against Russia.

I am not sure how accurate this is. From social media, I get an impression that mercenaries who are fighting on the Ukrainian side (mostly Poles and Americans) have dwindled significantly during the past few months. Only the "Georgian Legion" remains active in the frontline cities. And I am yet to find any reports about large-scale activity from the Syrian mercenaries. BTW, a few hours back Prigozhin of PMC Wagner posted a video from Bakhmut, where he paraded a few under-age children fighting for Ukraine. He accused Zelensky of forcing children to fight the war, as the number of active professional soldiers declined due to deaths and injuries.

https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/1631609003372343297

Yes, the mercenaries who are known to fight alongside with Ukraine are mostly American and Poles but that is because they don't have any reasons to be afraid of as their motherland will always come to protect them and get them at any cost especially in the times of war. And the easiest part is, these mercenaries doesn't have to get any permit just to fight alongside with Ukrainians.
But along with other reports, there are indeed some Syrian mercenaries who came to Ukraine to help the forces from defending there land, but these news are not that known because they are kept behind the shadows.

People had chosen Tether or stablecoin not because they don't want to spend their Bitcoin, in fact, they are converting it to Tether. But because of the volatility of Bitcoin, unlike stablecoins.

Actually, there is no problem with paying in Bitcoin but if they don't accept it, then we have no choice but to pay with Tether. And this is another reason that urges them to just use a tether instead of Bitcoin, it was because the receiving party doesn't accept it.
1067  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and education on: March 06, 2023, 09:41:29 AM
First of all, try to understand that everything about money and education is very individual. What turned as a success to someone might work opposite to you. Second, good education does not guarantee good job or lots of money. Third, experience > education, as often education is theory, when practice is value more. Fourth, you can always earn now, but study later.
No, they are somewhat connected to each other. If you have a good education or let us say that you are a degree holder it means that you have more opportunities which always leads you to earn more money. Although we can say that we can still find a job without this stuff, however, as we can see that those who have a good academic record get a higher position and a good salary. It was their advantage and we consider this as a warrant to reach our financial goal.
1068  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading season? on: March 05, 2023, 08:42:12 AM
I was kind of confused little about something, after someone walked on to me and was telling me that in trading, there are seasons when you profit from it (lucky days) and when but when I asked for an explanation, he didn't give a clear explanation, so I had to bring it up here to know if there are truly seasons of profits in trading and how can I identify such seasons?
Sometimes we think about having lucky days in trading but it is actually because we are trading when the market trend is rising. It is quite different when we are trading during the bear season. If that person couldn't explain to you well, maybe he also doesn't understand what is he doing but got lucky only.
Whether you believe it or not but most traders had come during the bull season where traders usually make a good profit this time but they have gone when the bear season starts.

Most people have the wrong savings concept, and usually they only rely on banks to save money and hope to get interest, but at this time the economy is difficult and if we keep money in banks then only get interest around 6% per year, if inflation is 4% then we Only get 2% per year, and from now on, let us turn a system like this into an investment.
But for those who have the knowledge of investing or those who are afraid to take risks, they'll prefer to keep their savings in the banks not knowing that they never value 100% years from now. But those who aim to grow their money will never save more but instead, use their money for investments that will able to secure their finances in the future.

Besides, we have these life visions;
 - short-term (those who are just thinking for tomorrow)
 - long-term ( those whi are thinking about the future)
1070  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: March 04, 2023, 08:29:02 PM
Thurman ducked Spence for years when he was the champion and they were both under Al Haymon.

Thurman has always been scared of Spence and knows he'll got KO'ed.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Spence stops him out easily if they ever fight.

We cannot really confirm that whether if it is true or not, those are just speculations made in the past and up until now.

Besides, we cannot really blame Thurman if he didn't gave Spence a chance for a title shot few years back because back at the day, welterweight is still a pretty stacked-up division. You got names like Pacquiao and Mayweather on the same division, while Spence at that time was still a hotshot haven't got a chance because a fight with him is not profitable. You know that boxing is always business first.

Yes, and on the other hand, there are reports saying that Spence duck Thurman when he become a champion. So we really don't know who duck who during Thurman's prime and reign as 147 lbs. They are still both under Al Haymon, but we all know that Spence is now the A-side in that stable.

But now we will have a chance to see it, maybe it was 2-3 years late though, as Thurman got injured and then he fight Manny because that is the biggest paycheck for him.

Right! That is the trouble now because Spence Jr. still got the bigger slice of the cake even if he doesn't have anything to offer at 154 because he is not the champion, it's Jermell Charlo. To be fair, they both belong to the same stable, the PBC, so this fight should be in plain 50-50 even if Spence is called the PPV King as there's no risks in this fight. These governing bodies should uphold their name and provide a fair and square fight, but I guess that's really too much to ask these days.

I agree, but it's the other way around, it's the promoters now and networks that hold this governing bodies and they just simply follow what this influential boxing promoter wants, like Al Haymon in this case. They have been in the shadows doing it, but this time it was very obvious.

A 147 lbs champion, then fighting a higher weight and his belt not on the line.

So this will definitely set a precedence in the boxing world and maybe we will see more of this kind of fights in the coming years.

Yes, the boxing industry is getting more and more ugly these days as instead of fair rankings, these governing bodies seems to be more of a puppet now rather than being respected and should be the ones who will set the bar to avoid issues that will be linked to them. But unfortunately, they just don't care about it anymore as long as their pockets will be fed consistently by the likes of Al Haymon. Who knows, there might be a much bigger issue inside the industry that is not yet known to the people.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: March 04, 2023, 07:57:50 PM
The Brooklyn Nets finally defeats the Celtics in the NBA after 10 consecutive loss in this fixture, without KD, Kyrie, James Harden or even Ben Simmons, from being down by 28 points in the game, It's freaking surreal!
I confess that I was surprised by this defeat by Boston.
The Celtics were performing very well, but even so, the Nets managed to reduce that point difference and win the match.

A game that I was extremely bad, was Lakers x Timberwolves, with a possible return of AD and another KAT game would be absent, I imagined that the chance of the Lakers win was greater, well... this was another game that I was terrible in my bets lol

Despite scoring 38 points, Davis was unable to carry his team to victory. The Lakers really need LeBron; although they have won some games without him, their playoff chances might be at risk without consistency. It was a home game, so they were supposed to win with their home advantage, but they lacked energy, the ball movement seemed lost, and they relied too much on their big man AD."

Actually, I was thinking that the Lakers could've won that game if only Dennis Schroder somehow gave what he performed last time when they were facing the Thunders but unfortunately, Schroder only focused on giving some assists to his team and only managed to contribute 6 points which is quite different from his performance in their past game. Still inconsistent, they know that LeBron might not come back in the regular season, so they should step up their game more to help AD from lifting the whole team towards a W.

On their next game, it will be played at Crypto Arena where the Lakers somehow got a little home advantage, but they should thrive hard this time as they will be facing the Warriors with Steph Curry's return.
1072  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: March 04, 2023, 05:49:32 PM
Magsayo though misses the weight limit the first time,

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9SNl7RCNuQ

Not a good sign, he will be given additional hours to make the weight and make the weight, but at this point he will be weight drain and maybe it's time for him to move up in weight already.

But to be fair, both didn't look good at all in the weigh-in, I mean seems that Brandon and Mark is draining themselves hard for this fight.

they should be prepared on this. so they know their respective weights come the weigh in event. let us see if he can attain the required weight or will their camp let this pass thru? because if Magsayo will be having hard time to achieve the weight, would be hard for him inside the ring if he feels he's drained not only physically but mentally as he goes thru the process of losing a lil bit more to get the weight.

He already made the weight on the second attempt, but as you have said, it doesn't look professional on the camp of Magsayo not making the weight it first time. Although it's just 0.8 lbs over and not that huge, and so he easily make it with some minutes left on the timer.

So know that everything is set, again as I have said, they didn't look good, but they can go back and rehydrate themselves back. A few pounds maybe, and let's see how much they are going to gain in the actual fight night.

Good for him but I'd say not good enough because that's already a sign that in the next coming fights, his weight will start to add up and probably won't make the desired weight even if they will force it. After the fight, whether if it's a win or lose, they should start to consider some things like moving up to the next weight class so that they can avoid wasting some precious times.

For now, let's enjoy the fight. Still rooting for my fellow countryman despite the unfortunate news.
1073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Stephen Fulton vs. Naoya Inoue - WBC and WBO 122 lbs bout - May on: March 03, 2023, 10:15:07 PM
This is why its unlikely that there would be some unjustifiable counts of punches landed and missed out on this one.Lets just see on whose better inside the ring
between these two.

Let's forget that speculation of cheating and anything else. I doubt that will happen in this fight.

Naoya Inoue surely is pissed if something like that happened where the clear winner of the fight won't be the announced winner.

It will also ruin the market of the boxing industry in Japan if such big fights will be associated with cheating.

There will be no cheating speculation in this fight because it will not be decided by the judges. I'm pretty sure one of them will win via KO, but I have doubts it will be Fulton since Inoue has been eliminating boxers that he fought, and I think he will be more aggressive against a champion.

Yes, Inoue has been steam rolling everyone at 118 lbs, and since he has move up to super bantamweight, champion like Fulton is waiting for him. So give credit for Fulton here, he might be really confident and thinks that he need to beat Inoue, and gain the respect.

For Inoue's climbing up, yes, it might not be so difficult for him after all. And it just happen that he will go against one of the best champion in this division, nevertheless, he will be still be the favorite against the American.
This is where should Fulton be showing on whose the champion on that division and would definitely earn that respect but lets see if Inoue would be easily snatched out those belts and would really be having
that domination but he couldn't really just that too confident because Fulton wouldnt surely be giving up the belt easily and this is something that really interesting to see or look
at considering that Inoue had stepped up on the ladder and trying out to test his power on higher weight divisions.It wont really be that simple i guess just as usual
but knowing "the monster" then for sure he wont disappoint.

That's mainly the reason why this fight attracts a lot of attention in the whole boxing industry because apart from seeing Inoue's journey in this new weight class, this is also about Fulton's title defense against a boxer who is touted to be a monster just like what his nickname shows. Even us, right? We can't really let this slide because both mentioned boxers do have a decent chance and capabilities to knock down each other. That said, I think this fight will go down to who will crumble first and who can weather all the vicious punches.
1074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 03, 2023, 09:53:33 PM
Ok we have a new order for the IBF bantamweight,

it will be Emmanuel Rodriguez vs Melvin Lopez as ordered by IBF. So everything has taken shape now since Inoue has vacated all the belt.
Donaire vs Santiago, (WBF)
Astrolobio vs Moloney (WBO)
Takuma Inoue vs Solis (WBA)

So that's what the bantamweight will look like for this year and the vacancy will be filled by this fights.
And it's good to see at least 2 Filipino on that list, Donaire and Astrolobio vying for the vacant belt in the bantamweight. There is still one, Reymart Gaballo, but for sure he will get the first crack on the belt since he is also a rank boxer in bantamweight. Might be hard for Filipinos to make it 2-0 here, specially Astrolobio who is facing Jason Moloney.

Now it's clear, Moloney ducked the fight against Donaire because he is afraid to have another loss against another Asian boxer who do have a strong KO power. Now he is taking his chance to have the WBO belt against another Asian boxer who is also fellow countryman of Donaire, but I don't think he will just have an easy journey towards the belt because Astrolabio also got a decent chance and is also hungry and been waiting for this chance to come.
1075  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My $300 bet won $417,000 on: March 03, 2023, 09:23:11 PM
Congratulations. That was an unbelievable feat. Just this week I tried doing multi bets although I included some matches and sports that I already didn't watch closely. After losing some tickets, I gave up. But after reading this inspiring story, I am thinking of doing it again. And just like everyone else, I am curious if you will share your next multi-bets. I'll give it a try and see if I can get some of your luck. Grin
Don’t panic and jump in to the gamble by just reading someone story. If you jump into gambling only by hearing other people's stories, it will bring you bigger losses.  You will never win big prizes by following other people's stories.  Big prizes are not always won.  It suddenly gets to someone. You can get it too, but neither you nor anyone knows when.  You can try but never panic. Keep gambling with a cool mind

No worries. I never panic about anything mate. And I won't just jump completely without checking it. And besides, if I ever follow OP's bets, it will be very small amounts that won't hurt my feelings if it loses. It would be dumb if people believes that there is such a thing as called sure-bets. Multi-bets are the most difficult in sports betting so we better expect their low chances of winning. Maybe $10 or a little more or less will be my range. If a $300 ticket can win $417k then a $10 ticket can probably get $10k when lucky.

That's right. We should not forget that gambling has only only two sides, it's either you win or lose. There's no such thing as draw as you will just have either one of the outcome at the end of the day, why? I don't think that you will stop betting once your bets hit the draw mark, chances are that you will still continue until you will end the day with losses or wins.
Mostly importantly, you cannot achieve big hits if you're following someone's shadow. If you feel that you're lucky, then go for it. Don't go and start betting if you will just trust your fate in other person's hand.

I'd say there are 4 sides, not only two

win big
win small
loose big
loose small

as in trading avoiding big losses is a must if you want to stay in the game

patience and emotional control plays a big role in the game

Whatever you label it mate, it will still go back to only 2 sides just like a coin. It doesn't matter if you win big, win small, lose big and lose small as defeats are still defeats as well as wins are still a win no matter what angle you're trying to see it.

And actually, we cannot really compare betting towards trading because it's a two different kind. Trading requires experience and learning but for betting, not really. It's just a battle of luck especially if it's just a casino games but for sports betting, that's also a different one.

I'm glad that ESPN will be televising a couple games tonight.  The Grizzlies vs Nuggets game might be a good one to watch but I'm not sure I want to bet on it.  I'm leaning towards the Nuggets, but we'll see.  The Grizzlies are no joke this year.  I did hear that Ja Morant might be suspended, but I'm not sure if that's official or a rumor at this point. 

Grizzlies-Nuggets game is interesting to watch but I don't think I'll also bet on that game. I've been looking at their present odds but it's not that interested, much better for me to sit this one up and enjoy the game.

For Ja Morant's recent accusation:
Contrary to popular belief, the two-time All-Star was not suspended, not by the NBA or by the Grizzlies.

For the games later:
Portland Trail Blazers ML @ 3.50 vs Atlanta Hawks

When Durant and Booker play together, the Suns can win the match very easily. Against the Hornets, I think they were pretty good. It's just that Durant's injury would be pretty bad for the team, that's what scares me. If he doesn't lose his health, the Suns could have a huge success in the playoffs this year.
Durant has been a pretty good basketball player for this team. I hope they get used to the team soon and they can play better together

That will be a big problem if that happens because the Suns have no longer good bench players left to substitute whenever they need some because the Suns traded them just to acquire KD to their roster. We all know that KD's presence will certainly enhance the teams chance but at this rate, the team might be seeing a replay of what happened to themselves in the recent playoffs if ever KD will get sidelined again because of an injury during the playoffs.

But if KD will be fortunate enough to finish the whole post-season without any harm, I'm sure that the Suns will reach much further and let's expect that. What we saw in the game earlier was just a teaser, that was the Suns who are still adjusting and when they find the rhythm which I'm positive they will, the league better be prepared.

I mean you can say that about any teams superstar.  If giannis goes down then yeah they will get booted, embid, jokic ,etc.  That's why Suns traded who they did for him.  If he goes down then yeah it will be rough for the sums just like if any teams superstar goes down for a significant time.

Not really mate because there are some teams that even contains superstars but are not that reliant, let's take for example the teams you've mentioned. Bucks and Nuggets without Giannis and Jokic respectively are still a strong team, and positive enough to threaten any team that they will face. But for the Sixers? I'm not really convinced about that team as even having Embiid, the team is still shaking, what more if he'll suffer an injury. To me, the Sixers are just like the Suns, I know that some might argue with me about it but that's my perspective towards the named team.
1078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Figueroa vs Magsayo WBC Interim Featherweight Title (March 4) on: March 02, 2023, 09:10:22 PM

I didn't think that the odds for a KO and decision for Magsayo are that high.

Both the KO and decision odds are high, which I like. I have to admit I'm a little biased here, but even though he is an underdog, this boxer has only lost once in his career. It's a redemption fight for him, so I expect him to be more aggressive and try to look for a KO. With that said, I'm taking Magsayo to win via KO/TKO.

With decent odd, taking Magsayo will be a good option in placing your bet here. Like what you mentioned, he will try to redeem himself after that defeat and lose his belt.

Same with you, I will also spare some of my money in betting with him to win, I'm expecting to see good adjustment
from him, especially with his stamina, hope his trainer finds some good system to increase his capability to take a long
fight,.

Right! Which is also favorable to us because Mark Magsayo has been listed by the bookies as the underdog of this fight versus Figueroa. Other than that, I also don't think that Magsayo will just let this moment slide and add another loss to his career because this is his ticket to have a rematch with Vargas and then try to redeem himself from that recent loss he had and the belt as well that was once belonged to him.

Lomachenko has predicted that Tank Davis will win against Garcia.

2023 Vasiliy Lomachenko favors Gervonta Davis over Ryan Garcia, talks Fury vs Usyk

Quote
On a Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia matchup
“I said before it’s very interesting fight. It depends how they prepare for this fight. If they prepare 100%, both, it will be very interesting and very hard for both, tough for both. Because they understand boxing and I think, my opinion, Gervonta Davis will win.

“He’s very technical, he has the power, he has the speed, and he knows how he needs to move. And he always fight with guys who are (taller) than him.”

I've also read some posts suggesting that Ryan Garcia doesn't like Lomachenko's prediction and would like to fight Lomachenko after he knocks out Tank Davis. What do you think - is Garcia being too disrespectful by making Lomachenko's prediction too personal?
Lomachenko could probably beat Ryan Garcia but that fight will not happen for another 2 years and Lomachenko will be further from his prime and I would give Ryan Garcia the edge because he will develop experience and only get better. Lomachenko can only get worse. Loma wins against Devin Haney and probably pushes to get this Ryan Garcia fight because it will be another big pay check before he retires but I do not think he is taking his career too seriously. He is just fighting so he can earn as much money before he retires. I do not know if he will win against Devin Haney but if he does I think that is the path he will take and will retire shortly after the Ryan Garcia fight.

Ryan Garcia might not be interested in Loma if he loses against Haney. Ryan Garcia always looks for big fights that will give him more attraction and money, and I'm sure he is confident enough that he will beat Tank Davis. But let's see if that will happen.

Right now, all he can do is use his loud mouth to attract the attention of fans. But once he suffers a defeat, that kind of marketing strategy will no longer be useful for him.

That might be true, however, Ryan Garcia needed someone with a huge name like Lomachenko to add fragrance and hype to his name even if the latter is much older by that time comes which gives Ryan Garcia more edge and chances to win the fight. Besides, the winner of Garcia-Davis fight will have the chance to fight the undisputed champion whenever it's their time to have a mandatory fight.

When Durant and Booker play together, the Suns can win the match very easily. Against the Hornets, I think they were pretty good. It's just that Durant's injury would be pretty bad for the team, that's what scares me. If he doesn't lose his health, the Suns could have a huge success in the playoffs this year.
Durant has been a pretty good basketball player for this team. I hope they get used to the team soon and they can play better together

That will be a big problem if that happens because the Suns have no longer good bench players left to substitute whenever they need some because the Suns traded them just to acquire KD to their roster. We all know that KD's presence will certainly enhance the teams chance but at this rate, the team might be seeing a replay of what happened to themselves in the recent playoffs if ever KD will get sidelined again because of an injury during the playoffs.

But if KD will be fortunate enough to finish the whole post-season without any harm, I'm sure that the Suns will reach much further and let's expect that. What we saw in the game earlier was just a teaser, that was the Suns who are still adjusting and when they find the rhythm which I'm positive they will, the league better be prepared.
