Knick game day finally here!  Been waiting all week.  What's everyone think of the knicks/cavs series.  I'm a knick fan so I see through different colored glasses but I think the knicks can pull this series out.  They on 3 out of 4 during the year and were an excellent road team.  I think if they can pull off 1 of the first 2 on clevland they got a good shot.  Took the odds on knicks to win the series.  Interested in peoes take on the series that aren't fans of either team?

New York Knicks successfully defeated the home team, the Cleveland Cavaliers on their 1st game. Been predicting what would be the outcome of this series and in the 1st game, I favored the Knicks being the underdog and took the advantage of the sweet ML. But I honestly can't deny that I also had some doubts before the game commenced because the Cavs is just hard to defeat too because they got a lot of good pieces compared to the Knicks where everything is just volume. Fortunately, my bet went through as the Knicks weathered the Cavs.

What do you mean "where everything is just volume" for the Knicks.  The knicks beat the cavs 3 out of 4 times this year.  They match up well against the cavs.  Mitchell is going to score in bunches but I can't see anyone stopping brunsen.  He plays to big for the clevland guards to stop him.  I like the Knicks in 6.

Knicks!!

Just going to say this, jalen brunsen can't be covered in this series.  The only way clevland can cover him is with this double.  He will bully Garland and Mitchell all series long.  Then they threw osman on him lol.  Guaranteed they double him next game.  Knicks will be dependent on the 2nd 3rd and 4th guys hitting open shots.  No way they let JB cook them all series long.  Gonna be a good one.

With only light betting during the week with the playin the playoffs are finally here.  Have to take a stab at all 4. 

1) taking Philly at home -8.5
2) Hawks +9.5. Trey is a different dude in the playoffs between him and Murray they should be able to keep this close.
3) THEEEEE NY Knicks moneyline.  Yep Homer bet but I'm taking it.
4) and too much money coming in on the Warriors.  I'm taking the home team -1 kings.  Think GS takes the series but this will be a tough game.  Going against the grain.

Good luck everyone and enjoy!! Go KNICKS!!!

I wasn’t sure about the Knicks and the Knicks and Cavs but there’s no way I was going to bet against the Kings at home. I’ve spent too many years in Sacramento and I know that arena is going to be the hardest place the Warriors have to play in these playoffs. Everyone in that building is going to want to see the beam getting lit tonight.

Agreed.  Aside from watching my knicks, Sacramento back when c web, Peja, Bibby, j wil were running the court that arena was lit.  Golden state hasn't exactly run well on the road and think this is a betting trap game.  Gotta think at almost a pickem kings are gonna have a chip on theor shoulder.  Gonna be a good night cap to the day.

Finally more games Smiley

Tonight I got the bulls in the money line here.  I just think the MOJO they got by winning in Toronto will carry over.  They will have to shoot better from the 3 but I like theor odds.

Then give me the wolves in this one.  Okc is the trendy pick but the wolves had so many things go wrong and they still almost beat the Lakers.  Taking the wolves and the spread.

Enjoy the games everyone tonight and good luck!

Unfortunately, they might exit early in the playoffs as they're up against the Warriors, a proven championship team. If they manage to beat the Warriors, then they'll earn a lot of respect from the fans. Therefore, hopefully they'll pull off a big surprise and upset the defending champions.

I don't know if that's still the case right now because they are different rosters and looks like they can give GSW a hard time in the first round. Unless the GSW will know how to easily break their defensive strategy it will gonna damaged them a lot because if that happens, they will quickly be buried with a double-digit lead and when against the GSW, only a few teams are able to catch up with them. Especially right now, Andrew Wiggins is clean to play and he could be the asset to surprise the Kings and swiftly beat them in this first-round NBA playoffs series.

I read somewhere that Barnes got an ankle injury in practice. I do not know if he will be able to play in the first game, but it will be an important factor for the Kings. I favor the Warriors to have a better chance to move forward in the Playoffs because of their experience. It's been a long time since the Kings entered the playoffs. It could affect their game in tight situations against the Warriors.

I agree and think most of the betting world does too.  I think gs is favored in this series and probably should.  I never bet against the reigning Champs until they aren't anymore.  I don't see anyone who can stop steph on Sacramento and green can defend enough against sabonis to keep him in check.  I got gs in this one winning in 6 games at home.

Talking, of course, about the Big Eyes coin presale, which is now the biggest presale for a meme coin in crypto history. I think it's going to be a disaster tbh. I read a breakdown of the project recently that highlighted how:

  • The auditor has flagged it for being centralized (i.e., literally one of the anonymous cat people could rug pull at any time, that's in the audit they're so proud of).
  • The project has ties to other massive exit scams (come on, people!)
  • The whitepaper says they're going to "save the oceans" but doesn't say which charity lol

There's a bunch of other stupid shit in there that I won't get into, I'm just venting about how ridiculous this situation is. I checked out the Telegram group and it's full of fanatics, no surprise there, but I really do think a lot of them are sincere rather than being paid shills or bots.

People are going to get screwed. What do I do, laugh? Feel bad for them? This shit keeps happening over and over again, and it's increasingly obvious every time. This one is going to be a headline news event, but if you try bringing it up, the project supporters either get upset at you or at themselves. I think people are just tossing major amounts of money into this shit without even researching it at all, I DMed a nice-seeming dude in the Telegram channel and he was dumbfounded that it even might be a scam, and scared.

I don't know, man. I'm here for the tech and for the gains, but we have a looong way to go before shit like this stops happening and undermining the whole space altogether.

Aren't we all here for the tech Smiley

Seriously though this is like a zillion other projects out there.  It's a scam and at the very least it will end up being a lazy attempt at being a project.  Greed does wierd thing to people where they will just throw their money at everything.  Some people got to learn the hard way.  Unfortunately some people just never learn so they will go broke doing this.
1489  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Doge worth investing? on: April 13, 2023, 09:40:15 PM
I do not have any investment in Doge yet but am thinking about it.

I am looking for investments that will 5-10x next bull run and looks like this is a good bet considering it's all time high is $0.70.

Many say it will go past $1 next bull run and it could well do but think I would get out around $0.70 which would be a 7x if I was to invest at todays price of $0.10.

Would be good to hear some views on this - are you for or against Doge?

Look at what happens even when elon preaches about doge it goes up 20% and falls right back.  Anyone who bought in the last bull run is still sitting with bags of doge waiting to offload it.  Last time around it wasn't like that.  Doge most likely won't spike like that again unless bitcoin goes real high, and if that's the case why not just buy bitcoin.

Well of course bitcoin but if you are looking for something else I'd say matic.  It didn't have too big of a pump and think the way this project has progressed a big price increase is coming.  They haven't slowed down during the whole bear market.  Probably a good play for this next market
1491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 13, 2023, 09:20:17 PM
I had OKC to win the game and qualify and they have huge young talents to win the game but I went to sleep on 3rd quarter on Bulls game thinking that they have no chance to comeback and when I woke up today and I saw that they indeed made a comeback ...I was shocked and happy on the same time and I had to search for highlights of 4th quarter because that is where the magic happened.

You mean Pelicans? Because the Bulls faced the Raptors and won their separate match in the Eastern Conference. Most probably you just woke up when you wrote this quote Grin

Anyway, the Thunders will be facing the Wolves tomorrow at the latter's homecourt and the winner will face the Denver Nuggets in the first round. Personally, I think I will favor the young Thunders against the Wolves who are in a middle of something right now and it's good for us bettors because the Thunders are listed as the underdogs with a present spread of +5.5

For the Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls match-up, current spread is -/+5.5 where the Heat is listed as the favorite.

Shai will have to have another game like he did against the Pelicans.  Timberwolves will be no.pushover.  I don't know which way I'm leaning but I think the wolves should be able to win.  They had their worst 4th quarter of the entire season last game, edwards probably his worst game and KAT in foul trouble.  I can't see that happening again.  And they are at home.
1492  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 13, 2023, 09:15:19 PM
The thing I’m shocked about right now is Zion Williamson being healthy but not playing because he doesn’t feel like himself. Imagine what Kobe would say… The Zion story is playing out just how I thought it would. He’s too big for the NBA. He’ll never be there when it matters due to injuries, which makes how good he is a moot point.

Situations like this confirm that the current generation of players has become too soft mentally. It's hard to imagine that any player from the '90s and '00s would have allowed himself to miss an important game just because he would have felt like he wasn't himself. Honestly, I immediately thought about Game 5 of the 1997 Finals when Jordan was very sick with the flu, but as hard as it was for him at the time, he still got on the court to help his team win that game. That's probably the kind of thing that separates all-time great players from ordinary players.

Has to do with money really.  Back in the 80s and 90s they didn't have these types of salaries.  Role players now adays can make over 9 figures so no need to end your career.  I don't agree with it but they take more direction from theor agents then they do themselves.  Shame cause zion is fun to watch when he is on the court.  But more and more thinking we will just never see an extended period of time with him.

Hello, with Hong Kong looking to lift ban on crypto in a few months June 1st 2023. Could we see huge gains coming from the next bull market from the following coins: Filecoin (FIL), VeChain (VET), Neo (NEO) and Conflux (CFX).

What are your thoughts?

First and foremost there won't be a run unless bitcoin runs.  And then when it does older coins tend to fall back and a new set of projects emerge as the front runners.  Happens every bull run and I don't expect this one to be any different.  I'd steer clear of older projects and see what platforms emerge in this next year or so.
1494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ETH has the capacity to pass BTC? on: April 12, 2023, 08:24:13 PM
The way and manner of speed ETH bullish at times makes me feels one day, the pump price ratio of ETH may outgrow BTC not in terms of how much is BTC or ETH? But the ratio speed of pumps per bull. I remember 2018 when ETH was less than $150 but ETH takes two weeks to bull market. If somebody should be wise enough ETH would be the next 28k dos.

Past history doesn't guarantee future results.  While somethings do follow along the same as it did in the past it's mere coincidence.  Following this method will lead you broke.  It's quite the opposite really, especially for altcoins.  Most times alts don't follow their past rather new altcoins replace some of the older ones.  Can eth take over bitcoin, I don't know eth has a lot more competitors than it did in 2018.

This strategy has been used over and over and while yes for a time it can work but if you follow it all the way through it will eventually bankrupt you.  If it is as easy as following a step by step strategy like martingale then everyone would do it and bankrupt the casinos.  Quite the opposite really.  You can try it for a time but don't do it everytime.
1496  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: April 12, 2023, 08:05:29 PM
Only bet the wolves last night that one just squeaked through.  Tonight I'm betting both games.

I like the bulls +6.  I think the game is gonna be close one way or another so gimme the dog in this one.

And I like the Pelicans -5.5 against okc.  I just think there is too much fire power on the Pelicans and they are heating up as a team.  X factor is obviously Shai.  He can alter this game in okc's favor. 

Enjoy the games everyone.
1497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 12, 2023, 08:01:21 PM
After looking over the stats for this game the thing that stood out to me the most is that LeBron James had the worst +/- on his team and tied Kyle Anderson as the worst +/- of anyone on either team with a -14. This might not have stood out when watching the game, but the Lakers got stomped every time LeBron was on the floor. Probably not the best sign.

It's a great point.  Combine that with the Grizzlies guards that will shred the Lakers guards and they have an issue on their hands.  X factor just might be if AD can compete in the paint against jaren Jackson.  The question I have is who does austin reaves guard when he is put there.  Obviously can't be Ja, so I guess he is on bane or possibly brooks?  This is the spot that is going to exploit the Lakers. Can't see the Lakers winning more than 1 game here.  Was really hoping for the wolves Grizzlies rematch from last year.

PS — And the creme de la creme which I foolishly sold early on...


Dang those are some sweet pics.  Was the sale price for that 1/1 piece publicly told?  What did you get for it if you don't mind me asking.  And lastly did you pull that or did you pick it up off of someone.  So many questions! Lol. I missed out on all the fun early on.
1499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: April 12, 2023, 04:08:29 AM
IMO, Ham have a terrible rotation, Towns is dominating and the Lakers was playing small ball lol.

They will surely make adjustments in the second half since they cannot let the Wolves continue controlling the game. They have to at least trim the lead to a single digit going into the fourth quarter; otherwise, it will be hard for them to come back.

Does anyone really want to see this team in a 7 game series vs the Grizzlies or the Nuggets?  I'd love to see another Minnesota vs Memphis series last year's was great.  And I'd like to see the Pelicans against the Nuggets.  You can't throw Schroeder, austin reeves etc out there at the 1/2 and think you are gonna compete for anything serious.  They need a real guard in FA that can guard.  And a proper center.  Who is going to guard jokic if they play the Nuggets?  He will drag AD out on the perimeter and Nuggets will eat them up down low.

Based on what the Lakers are showing, they stand no chance against the Nuggets, as points are coming from everywhere. However, if Minnesota enters the playoffs, I doubt they will win either, especially if Gobert is unable to come back soon. Nonetheless, let's watch the game and see what happens; it isn't over yet as the Lakers are slowly inching in, and we still have the last quarter. The Lakers could still win this.

If gobert is playing this Minnesota team will give Memphis everything it can handle.  As long as KAT is healthy the jaren jackson/KAT matchup will be amazing.  X factor is if someone can stop everyone not named Ja.  Ja will get his in the playoffs but they can't let Bane and Dillon go off either.  That's the series we need to see though.
