Finally, 2024 NBA All-Star starters announced. Almost all players are expected picks except maybe Lillard-Brunson. Trae Young fan rank was also too high but media and players didn't pick him that high. I think fan votes should have higher weight for starters. The game is played for fans in the end.

Tek erkeklerde yarı finaller bu sabah oynanacak. Benim için bir sürpriz olmadı. Djokovic ile Sinner, Medvedev ile Zverev oynuyor. Finalde Djokovic ile Medvedev'i bekliyorum.
Kadınlarda ise Gauff'u geçen Sabalenka ve Yastremska'yı yenen Zheng oynuyor. Geçen sene burada kazanan Sabalenka doğal olarak favori. Kadınlar finali Cumartesi sabahı oynanacak. Diğer maçlara özetten baktım ama finalleri kaçırmamaya çalışacağım.

Bucks is 30-13 and 2nd in the NBA standing but the management don't like teams defensive performance so they fired Adrian Griffin. Bucks had the second-best percentage of teams to let their coach go after the Cavs parted ways with David Blatt in 2015-16. According to rumours Doc Rivers is a top candidate for the job. They have both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo. A team with such great players and aiming for the championship should have such an experienced coach.

I haven't seen a proper source for this news, it wouldn't be right to talk about baseless rumors. If this is going to happen, it will take a very long time for them to collect this amount. It's impossible to buy that much without raising the price significantly. Anyone can invest as much as they want in Bitcoin, it's natural for governments to get involved, but the amount is $40 billion at the current price which seems too high to me to be real. If such a decision is to be taken, I would expect small purchases to be made first, like El Salvador case.

Sixers won 6 in a row and after Embiid named players of the week, he dropped 70 on Spurs tonight. That's a franchise record. He scored 30+ in 20 games in a row.
Wemby dropped 33 in his limited time after his injury, doctors don't let him play more yet.
In Timberwolves game Towns dropped 60 and there is still one more quarter left. What a crazy night. Meanwhile I'm watching Celtics game, they widened the gap in the third quarter.

This varies from country to country. I don't think there is a saving problem on a global scale. Some countries are even experimenting with systems like universal basic income, which gives money to citizens without them working.
I think the main problem is that some jobs pay very little. The injustice in income distribution is increasing day by day. The rich are getting richer while the poor can't rise to the middle class. Also, young people can't save or invest because they see the luxurious lives that come with social media all the time. They try to pretend like being rich and spend money relentlessly. They can't save money without changing their lifestyle.

I feel like Girona has a serious chance to finish the league at the top, despite their manager being pessimistic about their title chances. They play great, even if they fall behind they don't change their usual game plan and trust the process.
Dovbyk is a beast. He's the best Ukrainian player I've seen since Shevchenko. That 6 minute hat-trick was something else. This season is very special for Girona. I enjoy watching them more than Barcelona. Normally teams that start like this get stuck somewhere, but that doesn't seem to be the case with Girona. They should go for the title.

Paying rent in Bitcoin is advantageous for the landlord. If I were a landlord and I had such an opportunity, I would accept payment in Bitcoin. Even if this is not the case, the fiat money received can be instantly converted into Bitcoin and the investment can be sustained. I haven't heard of anyone paying rent in Bitcoin, but if he receives his salary in Bitcoin and pays according to the exchange rate of that day, I don't see anything wrong with that. Coins should be evaluated according to the exchange rate at the time they are spent, not according to its value years later.

What a game. It could go both ways but Real Madrid managed to win this one. There were a lot of controversial positions and VAR did extra work today but in the end Real Madrid well deserved the win. Almeria closed down too much naturally. At one point it was obvious they'd find the winning goal, it came so late that made the ending more dramatical.
Today La Liga was full of actions. Barca also won 4-2, another dramatical finish there. Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal were heroes. Real had luxury to lose points but Barca lost their all chances, they have to win no matter what.

Sometimes Anthony Edwards plays very well and sometimes he makes simple mistakes like this. OKC deserved this game in the end. Should we not talk about SGA? He doesn't seem to get the attention he needs. He took the Oklahoma City Thunder to the top of the West. When you look at the roster, you can't imagine the Thunder here. They really have a different chemistry. There's no one player that comes to mind as a superstar, but when they come together they play really well. It's the first time they are this good since the days of Durant, Westbrook, Harden.

I'm very happy for Valencia. I remember their last championship, those were the days. Now they are very far away from those glorious days but I'd like to see them in Top 6 constantly. They deserve it with their history.
When I think about La Liga, I have memories of Valencia and Deportivo La Coruña. They've always been successful. Now there is only the hegemony of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Once again Boston showed that they can't play at the end of games, this time at home. The 27-game winning streak at home is over. Tatum had the shot to send the game to overtime, but he was in a hurry and took an early off-balance attempt without the right positioning. Denver played like champions, showing that the playoffs and the finals will be very difficult. The duo of Murray and Jokic played very well. Boston missed too many three-pointers except for the first quarter, if they shot with a little higher percentage they could've won the game. It's not that important to lose a regular season game but they have to be careful, this is a preview of a possible finals match-up.

Tek erkeklerde bu kortun favorisi tartışmasız GOAT Djokovic'tir. Burada 10 kez kazanan Djokovic artık Federer ve Nadal yokken 11. şampiyonluğunu daha rahat bir şekilde alır.
Geçen sene finalde Djokovic'in karşısında Tsitsipas vardı. Bu sene Alcaraz, Sinner ve Medvedev önde görünüyor.

Kadınlarda ise son şampiyon Sabalenka ile Świątek veya Coco Gauff oynar diye düşünüyorum. Kadın tenisinde erkeklerdeki gibi bir dominasyon yok. Her sene farklı bir şampiyon çıkıyor.

It's good to look for additional jobs to earn more Bitcoin, but the amounts you wrote are impossible to earn as a side hustle. It's very difficult to earn even monthly what you show as daily earnings.
It's normal for people to look for new ways of earning in this economic environment, but dreaming with such unrealistic earnings doesn't help anyone. Instead, it's best to specialize in a new job and work in that field.

All the time! Whenever I had to sell my Bitcoin I regret later. But you can't hold everything forever, everybody have mandatory expenses. What I regret the most are the impulsive purchases I made and the coins I lost while betting. If I could've protected them, I would be in a much different financial position. Still, it's never too late. I spend less Bitcoin now.

I don't even think you watch the game and write just by looking at the scoreboard. You either lack reading or just straight trolling. I feel like the latter here so I put you on ignore.
I always thought basketball is for everybody but it seems like there are exceptions.

Nuggets choked on last quarter, so the game wasn't close. If you don't know how to close a game it's not important how you play first three quarters.
Sixers was double digit ahead in last 2 minutes. The game finished with 5 points difference. People who look at the final score could think the game was close, but it wasn't.

That was like a preview of a potential NBA final. Philly looked stronger. It was a tie game until last minutes but Embiid pulled it off in last minutes. Both defenses were awful, score was 78-78 at half. Nuggets couldn't shoot anything in last 5 minutes. The score looks close but the game wasn't. Philly was way better and Embiid played like an MVP.

Nuggets beat Pacers without Haliburton easily. Jokić didn't even sweat and did almost triple double with 25-12-9. Aaron Gordon played as Center, you can tell how bad Pacers' big guys.
It looks like Heat will pass Hornets. Jaime Jaquez Jr. started great. When Adebayo joins him, things get easier. I'll stop watching the game and instead watch a movie, there'll be no surprises here.

Strong game by Valencia and after a long time they won three games in a row. I hope they will join at least Conference League next season. I miss watching them in European competitions. Javi Guerra came from the second team and adapted to the team well. Hugo Duro scored his eighth goal. These guys are young talents, Valencia can build a good team around them. The future looks bright.
