Russell is providing the points that Westbrook was not able to provide. His consistency is very important, as LeBron cannot carry this team alone anymore. He came back to the Lakers with a mission, and this time he will be playing in the playoffs with a great chance, because LeBron and Davis are going to be a force to be reckoned with.

With Schroder also being a big factor, especially in the clutch, they already have a good second unit that could help boost the team's chances when LeBron and AD need to rest.

That's a big test for Bitcoin to break. It's not the current ATH, so I think it will not be hard to break that price as long as we are in a bullish mode already. We've seen Bitcoin dump in the past few days after it had a little bullish run, but now it's a new price, the highest this year already, so I would understand if it does excite us.

We can only hope that the bear market is over because, in the bull run, even if we were not able to accumulate during the bear market, I'm pretty sure that there are still plenty of opportunities to make money ahead.

They had a big win on LeBron's comeback, which is good for a start. Hopefully, they can build momentum from there. You're right, they really need to be more consistent now. A playoff spot is very important as it guarantees being part of the competition, whereas getting into the play-in is quite hard as they'll have to play a few games only to qualify.

LeBron was reported to have played with a foot injury. Hopefully, the rumors are not true because we need a healthy LeBron and of course, AD.

Bitcoin is starting to show some bullish signs, having suddenly surged today and almost reaching the $25k mark. This is great news for the market, as it may convince the doubters to come back. The market has been bearish for a while now, but I believe that a bullish market will come as a surprise once again. Achieving a new all-time high is not an easy feat, but a bullish market can make it happen sooner.

Good times are ahead, so brace yourselves, guys. This may be the moment we've all been waiting for.

Holiday played very well in that game, he scored 40 points, it was probably his biggest output this season.
Maybe they are not so dominant because they miss the service of Middleton who I think was injured, or resting.



If there's a team that I would love to win, it should be the Pacers since they are in a losing streak and have only won 1 of their last 10 games.

It's not surprising because TNT had early schedules this conference and they only lose once. Their 3 point shooting is very dangerous, especially with Pogoy and Williams shooting well, that would make TNT hard to beat.

4th should be the quarter for Northport if they still wants to win, and they cannot just rely on their import, they have to follow what SMB are doing, as SMB are getting some good minutes from their locals.

A KO is more likely to happen than this fight reaching a decision. Both fighters are KO artists, so what else can we expect? We've seen Ryan Garcia get knocked down before, and if I'm not mistaken, it was in the early rounds. So if Davis lands a punch that knocks him down this time, I don't think he'll be able to stay in the game for much longer.

I was able to bet on these games, won the Raptors game while losing on the Bucks game. Didn't expect that Celtics will make it a very close game, they almost upset the home team but good thing the game went over, in the OT, it was still the Celtics who had an early lead, but the Bucks did come back to complete a win.

About the Raptors game, on paper, the Magic looks great because they have won their past games, but the actual, Raptors took control of the game in the 2nd half, won, and cover the spread too.

I think the problem with TNT's import is the defense, he is an explosive scorer but the TNT does not need that much since they have plenty of scorers, they need an import who can defense since Erram is still out and therefore their interior defense is not that good. PBA is now getting more competitive in getting imports as they can already get imports with experience playing in NBA.

TNT should dominate here, I hope they can minimize the production of Blackwater's import as he is a good import also. Last time he scored 40 points, and over 50+ on his debut.

@boltz, nothing is easy in NBA, parlay is the hardest to win even if you will pick the heavy favorites to win. Just have some fun with parlay, don't focus too much on that, maybe you can bet on one bet per game, and I'm sure your chance to win will increase.

It's very frustrating if we put a decent amount in our parlay bet and the games that we thought would easily hit will lose. Been there dude, so I decided to calm down a bit on parlay bets.

But I guess that path won't come easy for him and become a world title champion because he got to defeat Tank Davis first for the interim belt and then defeat the unified champion, Devin Haney to have the regular world title which I think is quite impossible for now as Devin Haney is quite advanced compared to Ryan Garcia that lacks experience and exposure.

I think that is also the reason why Ryan Garcia moved to 140 because 135 is quite packed right now unlike in super-light. Either way, it's time for Garcia to face a much bigger challenges this time.

I guess that is not the case because even if the specific boxer manages to carve his name in the industry and has managed to be the unified champion, that same boxer still have to fight someone who got the Interim belts of his regular belts. It's designed that way to prevent champions pick their own fight once they got the titles, there will be always a mandatory fight every now and then that will be given to them.

As for Thurman agreeing to fight Spence at 154 lbs., I don't know what is the real reason behind because he could've refuse because that wasn't the order but he did not. That made me think that he needs Spence to climb the ladder again as he might have the first chance to grab and fight if ever Spence will suddenly vacate all his belts at 147 lbs.

As for the fight, Thurman surely studied Spence well as it's the latter who got more fights recently where he showed how dominant he is specially his last fight when he made Ugas's face like a punching bag that looks heavily deformed.

Yes, I understand you mate but that's what boxing is, it's all about risk because even if we're talking about a heavy favorite who's chance to get defeated is slight, it is still not guaranteed that what we thought will always be the outcome just because of the stated fact. Just like this one, Inoue is taking a risk, big risk means big reward but Fulton got more risk as he got more belts to offer while Inoue got none. But unlike Canelo and Bivol, the weight difference between bantam to super-bantam (4 lbs) and super-middle to LHW (7 lbs) is not the same and one more thing, Bivol got the height and reach advantage as Canelo is somewhat smaller against the natural LHWs.

Yes, he should. Kevin Durant will be the one who will have a big adjustment because he is the one who transferred and he asked for this too that he should be traded to the Phoenix Suns and now that he is already transferred, I hope he will give the team what they expected from him because just like the Nets, the Suns sacrificed a lot for this trade too. Either way, all of them will adjust so that they will find that rhythm. I'm just glad for CP3 because now he got more choices and can focus more in laying up the table for the team.

No doubt about that. I'm also seeing some good improvement about their roster since the season started and given the fact that most of the players are young and inexperienced, they are quite good already and giving a hard time to the teams they are facing.

And while they face the Heats earlier, it's evident that they indeed lack the experience because when it comes to crucial and intense moments, they tend to make some mistakes and that makes them vulnerable, and which is why the Heat defeated them in the last minutes. But overall, they are already impressive for me, those mistakes they did will make them stronger next season.

I guess so but other than that, I think we are just too focused about the Magsayo vs Figueroa fight without seeing Vargas's chances against his opponent, Foster, who defeated him this day via unanimous decision. In that case, Vargas has nowhere to go but to wait for the winner again and then defend his title because even if he won't give Figueroa a chance or Magsayo a rematch, time will come that the WBC will give a mandatory fight.

You mean Al Haymon of PBC? Yes, that is already common sense as that was also happened in the fights where there is a rematch clause included in the contract. Of course, the winning boxer will have the favor to be in the A-side as he earned it. This Al Haymon is just messing things up that was once already established, I don't where he is heading at anymore because his fighters will be unfortunate as well because they are dragged by his nonsense.

I couldn't agree more. There is indeed a correct time and phase for our child to know about the reality of the world, and whether we like or not, they will grow and they will always do and our duty is to prepare them for the harsh reality, and that also includes teaching them what is bitcoin and what can it do to our lives, and of course, it's fundamentals. But for starters, just let the child/children live their own ways and let them enjoy the world under our protection because when they grow older, their habit will also change and starts to adapt to the real world.

I guess a rematch between Magsayo and Vargas will be quite impossible to happen if both boxers are already holding their own respective belts in their respective weight class. Why? There's a good chance that neither one of them is willing to take the jump or put their belts on the line as in the first place, a rivalry was never established between these two boxers and that means a money fight is somehow impossible too. They will have their own separate ways and fighting opponents in separate divisions.
