Memphis started great, after some bad calls by referees and Curry's good performance Warriors tried to close the gap but Grizzlies was the better side at half. I was expecting this performance honestly, Valanciunas played very effective until he got his third foul call, Grizzlies defense was quiet good, Morant and Brooks played okay. Warriors heavily rely on Curry, other players couldn't help much. Steve Kerr find a way or they will end up losing play-off chance second and last time.

They are still down as of now, Curry didn't get enough support and then they have a lot of errors plus Memphis is really doing good defense. So the chances of Warriors are slim, I thought that they are going to explode here, down to 4 minutes now.

I'm sure many of us are pretty disappointed if GSW and Curry exited again this year.
I am not surprised that the GSW is out this year, since Klay is still out, they have a chance next year, but what will be the result of this year to curry's health, he could have played a normal way since they might not make it and reserve it for next year so that with Klay on the lineup they can compete with the same level, but curry carry the team on his shoulder until the end hat's off, what a battle with Memphis, Ja Morant is really an emerging force, I hope the Grizz can add another all-star.

But Lakers have the experience here, that's there main advantage here. Scratch the regular seasons game, this is play-off so everyone needs to step up and hope we will see a good first round match-up.

I agree with you, Lakers might win this series but Suns here will definitely give the Lakers a tough series. What I saw in the Warriors game convince me to bet against the Lakers in game 1 of the Suns vs Lakers series, I like the Suns here before the Lakers will figure out how to beat them.

The Suns will definitely give the Lakers a harder time to win than the Warriors as they are more complete. The backcourt duo of Paul and Booker alone will give Lebron headaches  Smiley. But i think the Lakers are ready for them and they will use their size against the Suns so i'm betting them on ML. Have observed that almost all of the favorites won in this play-in so i think betting against it is a bad idea.


I heard that this is the first game in NBA history betting where a team coming from 6h position in favorite to beat them team from 2nd position but let's be honest and admit that Lakers were down so much lately just because Ad and Lebron did not play so starting as favorites for bookies it's the right decision. However, don't think that Lakers will have an easy game because they will certainly not ...imagine being Suns and dominate pretty much all the season and then losing to Lakers without a proper fight ?  I think Suns will push Lakers so hard that they will empty their gas tank.

Lakers would not be the favorite here if they did not start being the number 1 team. We all know that Lakers only struggle because of the injury of Lebron and Davis, but they are back healthy now, so the expectation is now high for the team. Let the Suns prove us wrong, if they really are a legit team, they have to beat the Lakers in this series.
Suns will be overwhelmed by the lakers for sure, Ayton is will play only his first playoffs, the only player with playoffs experience so far is paul, and if LeBron will guard paul it will be the end of it, the only player that brings the team to playoffs is pauls experience and leadership so if they lock the leader they will fall in the lakers hand.

Lakers, or any team with Lebron on board is difficult to handle in a series match. Phoenix is doing great this season but I don't see them beating the Lakers in a head-to-head series match. Lakers in 6. Smiley

Well, everyone knew who has the higher chances of winning this series, even the sportsbook knew it.

Image source: Sportscenter on Facebook

The underdogs at the top seed and the favourites at the bottom seed lol.

Indeed.  I don't think many people will be betting on the Suns.  I don't think they have much of a chance at all unless Booker has an amazing shooting night and the rebound gods are shining on DeAndre Ayton.  Otherwise, the Lakers are just too big with too many good shooters, and they happen to have the best player in the world.  I think in the end it will come down to the Suns not having enough talent on the bench or enough size in the starting lineup.

I am hoping Westbrook is able to make it to the playoffs this year with a win today.  Not sure if I'll watch or not because, Indiana...  Pulling for Russ though.
If the suns defeat the lakers in the playoffs it will be the biggest upset of all time, the suns need to play their A-game for 7 games to do it, it will be hard since LeBron and AD have a comeback and are really fresh, it's like they take a vacation just to prepare for the playoffs the suns team have made it this far, but facing lebron and the lakers is just an impossible task in my opinion.

for me Cardano, Chainlink Uniswap, Polkadot were the top runner's coins who were challenging eth for supremacy over altcoins, and I think Cardano is the number one, that can challenge Eth head to head, with their development phase they are a year or more of accomplishing it, after that, we might see a growth in the price and the community.

These people manipulate everything to gain profit, so I think they have something to do with the dip, they will need to do that to get the lowest price possible then make a statement to pump the coin, it been what known people do in the business world of trading, and it will not be stopped, as long as there are people who believe in them and do what they say, but still, we have the last say, people should balance their own decision with the statement of these rich guys.

it's okay to buy these kinds of coins but you should never fall in love with them, remember that you want to earn not to keep lots of coins that have just value in the start and became trash in the future, you know how to trade, then it's okay but if you are a hodl type of person, it's not for you, you should invest on coins who has future in the digital world, not all meme coins will have the same faith like dogecoin, and they will just come crashing to the ground in the future, only those who have use case are here to stay.

100% agree at one point lebron and AD were 3-19 from the field Caruso kept them in the game.  But in the end they took over.  If the Lakers played slightly better in the first half it would have been a much different game.  Golden state threw the kitchen sink at them but in the end Bron with a 30 footer looking at 3 different rims to win the game.  Playoff Bron in the house lookout suns
Yeah, Caruso and other teammates were helpful in this match because they didn't let the Warriors have a huge advantage after the first half while Lebron and AD couldn't get the ball into the basket. Anyway, it was a great match, and I applaud Curry for his incredible 3pt shots.
The lakers team really step on the gas in the third quarter, their defense is all over the place, everyone did their share, Davis and James are unstoppable,
I think the suns are in big trouble, I thought they would survive in the first round too bad it's the lakers they are going the face, that's an early exit for the suns for sure.
168  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / BTC/USDT and positioning to lessen the loss and gain a profit from dip on: May 19, 2021, 03:34:57 PM
I'm sure by now you have already converted BTC to USDT an hour ago, for newbies lessen the loss since you are just getting started, convert your BTC to a stable coin like USDT, or BUSD maybe, most newbies don't know what to do when we experience red days, in crypto, they sometimes tend to convert it to their currency, which with high fee's they have bigger losses unlike converting it to USDT, why I'm telling this not only you get a chance to keep your capital but also, and also if you want to buy back for BTC it's faster, no more transferring of money from USD to BTC, before every time I convert it to our currency and buyback, with our money its almost 10% are being taken that's big if you want to gain small amount try to swing your usdt when it goes down then if it goes up like a little sell it, just make sure you covers up the fees.

To be able to lessen the risk of leaking information about yourself, always check whether the exchange or platform you want to join has credibility, and are not exposed to leakage of account before, KYC is being used all over the world it is the responsibility of the company to take care, or even leak the information or sell those to someone, we really don't know what will happen in the future since hackers have their ways to get it.

It's a community meme coin, the holders have the power, I think must just take advantage of the situation, since he is a well-known figure maybe he just bought a lot of dogecoin and fuel the pump for him to earn money just like BTC, this person takes advantage of some traders who just follow the flow of trading, with that he pumps the coin until the price he likes and take profit of it, the coin really don't need Elon, seen people get broke because of this, the coin can pump even without Elons help.
171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 19, 2021, 02:52:48 AM
Lebron was down 3-1 against a 73 win warriors and still managed to win the championship with bunch of scrabs that became tanking team after he left, I do not get how in the world people are still underestimating lebron after all these years, it is seriously unbelievable.

It's not about people are underestimating him but they are just concerned because of the injuries that hit Lebron James.

Did you see how he played after getting back to 20 games absence? You should notice already the changes then another injury hit him again. That win behind 1-3 to Golden State Warriors in the 2016 finals is played by a healthy Lebron. Lebron might not be seen being slow down for many years but the injury he got this season is slowly seeing an effect on his body. Lebron James is already 36 years old. His explosiveness is expected not to be the same during that 2016 finals.

And in the end, why only Lebron? Los Angeles Lakers, if won a championship, will be because of all-team performance.

Lebron is very significant on the success of the Lakers that's why people are only talking about him. Lakers obviously rely on Lebron, without him, Lakers are just an ordinary team that can be beaten by any team, even the worst team in the NBA, so it's understandable why people always talk on Lebron and the Lakers.

Not against that statement but with AD and the rest of the team, it's tough to beat that team, they are just relying with him right now since his the main man but if he needed to rest and they allow AD to take over this team,

Still a team to beat, in terms of Lineup, the addition of Drummond will give AD a much comfortable offensive threat, knowing that there's someone down there who can fight hard to get the ball back, for sure the rotations without LeBron will change up.

For now, they are talking about LeBron but if in case they need to play without him, they'll be forced to fight more harder.
With Drummond addition, Anthony Davis can focus on Offensive with Lebron, and as everybody says, this is really the team to beat even though they will be in the 7th or 8th seed it does not matter, the only reason they are at the bottom is that the two superstars are out and suns and jazz are aware of that I think they are praying not to face this team because its playoffs they will not get easy on any team especially their throne is on the line.
172  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 18, 2021, 03:29:02 PM
What team do you think will get the rank 7 and 8 in the west guys?

Still Lakers and Gsw. Either of the two losses in their play-in tourney, they are guaranteed to win against the winner of the 9/10 game.
But of course the Lakers has the higher chance at beating the Thompson-less GSW and they could immediately advance in the 7th spot in the playoffs. While GSW has a higher chance on winning against Griz or Spurs and take the 8th spot.
Well, nobody has seen this kind of playoff structure before and this is why we are all excited about.
I think no matter 7th or 8th the lakers will win whoever they face, and I think the suns want the lakers to lose, because for sure they have no chance, at the same time it will be a good matchup for the jazz if they can defeat the lakers they have a chance in the finals, but it will be a mountain they need to climb because lakers are healthy, I hope they put up a good fight if it happens.
173  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do not panic sell when there is dump on: May 18, 2021, 11:59:46 AM
this is where you need to realize that taking profit is necessary, I'm sure that all those who sold their coins already have a big profit, but since there will be greediness that is attached to everyone they intend to wait, for their desired price, so when dump happen they lost the opportunity to earn a profit, instead, they lost, what you should think is if you take profit today, if the coin pumps, you still have a profit, but if the coin drops, that is an opportunity for you to buy at a lower price and takes profit when it comes back, if you do things like this no matter what happens, you still gain every time, a gain that is small ios still a gain for a trader.

ADA is so interesting that it tries to challenge ether as they are going to push their development stages and are on the right track, also looking at tron who are I think to undervalue at the moment, if you still have some funds ill say get some Tron coin, just to don't regret not getting it, as we look on their development are so silent that they will just show the progress or the accomplishment, even though Justin sometimes say something that derails the project.

Lots of games tomorrow, 15 in total, and this would be the last game of the NBA season.
https://www.covers.com/sports/nba/matchups?selectedDate=2021-05-16

Blazers have to win this game if they want to be in the top 6, if they lose, the Lakers will replace them as for sure Lakers will win against the Pelicans.

I can see now and I believe that Lebron is really back 100% healthy.
That's a surprise and didn't escalate to me.

Hopefully that the Lakers are now back and shape and they're going to be at their best with their upcoming game/s.

The Lakers are already in the full squad now and they are healthy as well.  Not only Lebron is back, but they also have Schroder back in the lineup and we know how good he is so what we are seeing now is the Lakers that are a championship team. They may be not be included in the top 6 but they still have a huge chance of winning even if they will not have the home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.

Most likely, they will face the Phoenix suns or the Denver Nuggets, that's a tough series for them but I know they can handle that.
They are well shaped today and just won the match against the Pelicans. This could be a sign and now, let's wait and see if they're going to win the match next.

On Thursday against the Warriors.
surely this will be an advantage for the lakers having a complete squad , the warriors will put up, a good fight but in the end the lakers will outlast the warriors squad, I expectna dominant, lebron and anthony davis, steph will have his hands full with this one for sure.
176  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 16, 2021, 03:51:46 PM
I was hoping for a LA vs LA though, it will be a great matchup. But in any case, Denver or Phoenix is not that bad either.

We might see an LA vs LA in the western conference Finals if the Lakers will end in rank 7, and they will win in the 1st round and 2nd round.
It's a great match up though, but this playoff is quite different in the past, we might see a different team advancing in the WCF and in the ECF.. and that makes it so interesting to watch.

For bettors who will back the Lakers, this is a great opportunity to get good odds as they are in a lower standing and I would personally get gonna hesitate on backing them.
I want to see if Leonard can stop LeBron with his lockdown defense that is really a force in the past years, it like Bowen of the spars but way stronger and better, if he can't stop Lebron then they will be eliminated, at the same time that matchup will be in the lakers advantages since they have AD and Drummond, it is going to be a problem also with tucker emergence this will be a nightmare for the opponent in the playoffs for sure.

I think everyone agrees that traders swing bitcoin to altcoins often if they knew there will be a profitable coin in altcoins because at the end of the day traders need to profit, and if they knew there is a possibility that bitcoin will rally they will put everything in bitcoin, its just business for traders, to be able to earn, because, if you will just put your money on something that is not moving, there will be no profit, and its a big gamble for them if the coin they choose goes down its a loss.
179  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: May 16, 2021, 05:01:37 AM
It is really good to see Lebron back. He will not have too much chance to get back on his condition, his fitness could be a problem on the early days of play-in and also the playoff as well, I am expecting him to be 100% ready on second round if they get there but this is Lakers with Lebron+AD we are talking about I am sure they will get there.

However things will get interesting after that, we all know that regular season western conference is a bit weird, Jazz at the top and Suns below and Nuggets under them, these are all good teams for sure but they are not teams many people expect to be champions, so it is not going to be that easy if you ask me for these teams to face Lakers, but eventually we get teams like Clippers facing Lakers and that could be very good to watch. Or maybe Lakers or Clippers could be eliminated before they even face each other like last year, I really do not know.
Dominant LeBron and AD in the pacers game, Drummond defends the shaded area, I think now they are ready for the playoffs and I feel bad for the team that they will be facing because every playoff LeBron is 100% and they always win, now that AD is also back, and Drummond for sure they will be in the west finals, hoping they are healthy comes to the west finals.
