1621  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win on: June 16, 2023, 08:00:55 PM
I think the young man did a good job, but his father refused the money because he was a conservative person. He should think of ways to spend the money without telling his father about it. He can buy Bitcoin with his money and thus manage to hide it from his father. The young person in the news is over 18 years old. His father must now respect him in some matters. He may have conservative views on some issues, but he must respect his son's choices. Otherwise, they will have different discussions within the family and they will never be able to establish a healthy dialogue.

Either way, we cannot verify these claims as we do not know the full story behind the father's rejection to the son's winnings from gambling. Their story might not be that common, but it surely attracts a lot of attention because apart from us here, other people as well who heard the news are also wondering what was reason behind the rejection as that kind of money was really hard to earn even if you take two jobs in a day because that will at least it take a couple of months or even years just to collect the same amount but that will have its own consequences like the time you've wasted trying to come up with a different way.

Nikola Jokic changed the way we look at NBA and especially at the younger players who never saw how Magic, Bill, and Larry did it. It's almost like this, the Joker revived a strong big man, not like a "Shaq" big man but more of a versatile big man. And, I have no doubts Jokic will keep on passing more records from way back some of us were born.

Jokic would easily win the regular season MVP next season because he can easily generate triple-double stats. As long as he is healthy, the Nuggets will once again reach the NBA Finals. However, in the Eastern Conference, I don't think it will be the Heat, unless they upgrade their roster.

Shaq can be dominant inside but does not have the same shooting ability, especially from the free-throw line. On the other hand, Jokic is a complete package as a big man, capable of scoring, passing, and rebounding. He is also a great three-point shooter, with a possibly higher percentage than Curry.

Shaq was dominant in his time, but it's challenging to directly compare him to the era of Jokic. This is because big men in today's NBA have already learned how to shoot, at least to some extent, as it has become a requirement even if they aren't as dominant physically. When Jokic entered the NBA, he was considered an ordinary player, but as he stayed with his team, his game developed, and he built great chemistry with his teammates.

If we look at Jokic's stats from the 2015-2016 season when he started, we can see a significant improvement in his game currently.y with his teammates.

Looking at his stats when he started in 2015-2016 season, there's already a huge improvement currently.




source : https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/j/jokicni01.html

In Jokic's rookie years, he was already making a difference to the team which made the franchise do a risky move that made him a center even if he wasn't that well soaked in the league yet as he was still rookie but instead of having an opposite outcome, the Nuggets did seem right for making that risky move because eventually, Nikola Jokic were like a gravity for the team where the whole play was moving around him up until they come to this point where their hardwork indeed paid off after a long bumpy road in the recent seasons.

The Sacramento Kings have started trade negotiations with the Washington Wizards for Bradley Beal.
The Sacramento Kings had an unexpected performance this year.
It will be good for them to strengthen their team with Bradley Beal.



Acquiring Bradley Beal might come at a high cost for the team. They already have good chemistry, and if they were to add Beal, I worry that the team dynamic might shift, and they may not play as cohesively, as Beal tends to operate more like a one-man show. However, if the team can help Beal adapt to their system, there is a chance for success.

Currently, I believe the Kings would benefit from acquiring a reliable big man who can improve their defense. While Domantas Sabonis is a valuable player, he alone may not be sufficient to protect the paint. Pairing him with a dependable center could have a positive impact on their overall gameplay without disrupting their existing strategies.

I agree that having another big man is what the team needed so that Sabonis can have the freedom to chase down somebody and do anything that will benefit the team because let's face it, he's not that kind of big man who is that flexible enough to cover the paint, protect the rim while being a playmaker too. But having another big man will literally make a difference to the team.

And acquiring Beal may benefit the team but that is not guaranteed as I don't think that the Wizards will just agree with what the Kings will give as they know for sure that they have the power to demand as they were the ones who initiated the trade talk.

Congrats sa taya mo kabayan.
Kung sa Celtics parang malabo na itrade nila si Jaylen. Kasi kung tutuusin lagi naman siyang contributor sa team nila lalo na sa mga ganoong plays sa playoffs pero hindi rin naman maiiwasan na may mga kangkong plays o di kaya parang wala siya sa best niya.
Parang Suns palang ata ang may pinaka maraming changes para sa darating na new season. Antay antay lang din sa mga trade rumors at follow follow lang kay Woj.

Parang malabo pero kung sa value ng contributions baka uubra pero kay Brown pa rin ako kabayan, kabisado na nung dalawa ang isa't isa parang Klay at Steph na yung samahan nila kaya sana wag na biyakin ng Celtics yung na established na nilang samahan, mas okay kung same pa rin sila at wala ng baguhin or kung may babaguhin man eh minor na lang.

Tignan na lang natin kung anong mangyayari, madaming mangyayari sa palagay ko lang pero syempre expect na lang din natin
ung mga unexpected trades. hehehe

Yun nga rin ang nakikita ko kaya natawa na lang ako sa trade na yun. Pero ngayon, sa main thread ng NBA sinabi naman na Sacramento Kings daw ang interested. So sino kaya offer naman nila para makuha si Beal. Prone na rin kasi sa injury si Beal, ang kalakasan nya eh yung silang dalawa pa ni WB sa Wizards.

Ngayon siguro iniisip na ng management na nanjan na is Kuzma at si KP na baka dito na sila dumiin at dun sa ipapalit nila kay Bradley Beal.

Solid pa naman ang Celtics, talagang natapat lang kay Butler hehehe. Hindi pa nila oras para mag champion.

Alanghiya kung sa Sac sya mapupunta baka makagulo lang sya sa mga bata dun, ang ganda ng pinakita nila last season nagkataon lang na iba pa ring yung experience ng GSW pagdating sa playoff pero kung titignan mo talagang pinahirapan nila ung Warriors, ang hirap kung maglalagay ka ng beterano tapos main star type pa, mas mabuti na lang siguro na wag ituloy ng Sac yan at magfocus na lang sila sa mga batang manlalaro na pwedeng mag spark sa current lineup nila.

Nakita ko lang sa Socmed ha, ung picture na pwedeng ioffer ng Miami kuno, pede daw si Lilard at Beal kung sa budget baka pde nga pero hindi naman nila need ng scorer talaga ang need nila big man na kayang pumalag sa ilalim kasi kung babalikan natin ung nangyari ngayong taon talagang well-contributed yung bola baka mahirapan sila kung scorer at hindi defender ang kukunin nila.

Naku wag na! Okay naman na yung sitwasyon ng Sacramento Kings at kunting kembot lang kailangan nila at hindi dagdag na experiment na maaaring ikakasira ng buong team, mas okay pa na lubos-lubusin nila kung anong meron sila kahit 2 more years pa bago sila magsimulang mag imbento muli kasi sayang na yung nasimulan nila. Hayaan nalang nila yung ibang teams na mag agawan.

Sa Miami Heat naman, mas kailangan nila si Lillard kaysa naman mag dadagdag pa ng Bradley Beal na hindi naman gaanong katibay pagdating sa intense games. Lillard lang sasapat na sa kanila habang healthy pa sina Butler at Adebayo.

Number 3 isn't really a requirement. You just have to have a working knowledge of who's who in the sport, and then just complement what you know with research and analysis and you're fine. IMO, being too knowledgeable with a certain sport tends to make one overthink things and affect a lot in the decision-making and analysis process, especially if you really want to get that win for yourself. I mean, who doesn't want to have a win anyway?

The rest of these are okay and equally important, though not a lot are really doing the comparison between different platforms to check the best odds before locking a bet. Also, it's not really something that you can do to 'win' more bets. You win more money per bet, though, by getting the one with the highest odds.

For me, it's important because when you are focused, you will become good at what you are doing. It's advisable to prioritize quality bets over the quantity of bets. Although some people might disagree, believing that more bets add more fun, unfortunately, it would only increase the chances of losing. As you cannot study a lot of games, the chances of winning would be lower.

When you are serious about sports betting, you need to treat it like a profession. Every bet is precious and requires proper study and analysis before placing it.
1626  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022–23 PBA Commissioner's Cup on: June 15, 2023, 08:37:49 PM
By the way, McCarthy from the "BLACKWATER" team has played very well to make the team as a winner, the guy scored 30 points against "Converge," and from the later team the Justine Arana did his best with the score of 32, but still the BLACKWATER was victorious in the match by scoring 102 points against Converge.

They can enjoy winning in the exhibition games, but I have doubts about their success once the PBA season officially opens. These players certainly have talent, but we cannot deny the fact that Blackwater will likely continue to serve as a farm team for bigger teams in the PBA.

Most probably, during the regular season, every game is serious and matters, so the better team typically wins. In the case of Blackwater, I believe they have a similar overall standing to the DYIP, which is mostly at the bottom.

As of the current rankings, they have already won three games with only two losses, defeating the following teams:

Converge by 5 points
Terraferma DYIP by 6 points
NLEX by 5 points

In actual games, I doubt they will be able to beat NLEX and Converge.
That's quite unusual because Blackwater doesn't typically maintain such a good record as they have now. You may be correct in noting that these are mostly exhibition games where defense is not heavily emphasized. However, these games provide an opportunity for the players to stay in condition before the season resumes. The extended break also allows injured players from the previous conference to recover, and we can anticipate their return, making the upcoming conference more exciting to watch. We've already seen Romeo play, and hopefully, he'll receive more playing time in the actual games.
1627  Economy / Gambling / Re: is KYC data on Gambling sites safe? on: June 15, 2023, 07:57:52 PM
It can be found if we can look for it carefully because with so many casinos nowadays, not all casinos will allow gamblers not to do KYC. Casinos today are different than they were a few years ago, and with government interference, they have to keep up if they want to continue doing business. And if we have found a casino that really can be trusted, we should also be able to be calm about doing KYC because the casino will try to protect the important data of its customers.

Most of the casinos do look at what country you are from and base their regulations on their judgment as to whether they will require you to undergo KYC or not. I have friends who are into sports betting or gambling in casinos, but they are not required to go through KYC, just like me. Therefore, we enjoy the full liberty of gambling anonymously.

There's only a very small chance that the Miami Heat will come back, but even if they lose in the finals again, they have still done a great job to reach this far. Miami could potentially pull off an upset in game 5, and if they win game 6, then who knows, we might have a thrilling game 7. I understand that it is unlikely to happen, but as they say, the series is not over until the Nuggets have secured 4 wins.

There is very little chance that the game will go back to Miami on Thursday. The Nuggets will not take their chances and let the championship slip away from their home court. They will definitely try to finish the series on Monday night in their home. Some mischance might happen if they let it go to game 6. Once the series reaches game 7, it is anybody's ball game.

I am curious about what will be the adjustments on the side of the Miami Heat. They cannot stop the duo from scoring and outplaying their defense. Will they switch to offensive since they cannot stop the Nuggets anyway and just try to outscore them? The only reason they won game 2 was because they had a good scoring night. Maybe they can do that. Try to limit the duo of Jamal and Nikola but also try to outscore them. Their outside shooters should perform well in order for this to be successful.

I don't care about embid getting mvp this year, jokic is definitely the best player in the NBA today.  He doesn't have a bad game in him.  Because of his iq and willingness to play team ball he is almost unstoppable.  I think Miami has to double him and tighten in given the 3 point shot open and just hope Denver goes cold.  If they play the way they have been playing them it's over.

It is hard to go cold if you have Jokic setting up the play. The cutters are having a picnic against the Miami since they know wherever they are in the court, Jokic will see them and the assist will come. Double-team Jokic and one of the cutters are bound to be open. Miami has to deal with that too aside from Jokic and Jamal scoring.

Agreed but they don't have anyone who can play one on one with jokic.  It's a bad matchup for Miami.  Single him with bam and he will eat that up.  Cody zeller? Not a chance.  If I'm coach for a day I'm making anyone but jokic beat me.  I do agree jokic knows how to play around it but you can't let him have whatever he wants from whereever with him and Murray in the P&R game.

Murray is already a problem to the Heat because he is one of the best offensive player of the Nuggets that is also hard to guard even if his height is not that much compared to Jokic but the latter is different, a player with height is not enough to single him out because that specific player needed to be a package as well like him to be a better guard and increases their chance too. Plus, we might see Herro back into their line-up but I think instead of helping the team, he might destroy it in the process.
1629  Local / Pamilihan / Re: NBA discussion, betting and etc. on: June 12, 2023, 08:15:16 PM

4.10 odds ng Miami sa Game 4. Malakas ang Miami sa home court ng kalaban kaya susugal ako sa knila this time dahil madaming beses na dn nmn ako nanalo sa Miami na ganitong scenario.



Wag mo na subukan bro, masisira ang buhay mo. Hehe. Sobrang hirap na hirap ang Heat ngayon matapos ang adjustment ng Nuggets para macounter sila sa 2nd. Buo na ang depensa ng Nuggets sa lahat ng quarter compared nung game 1 at game 2 na halos hindi sila naghahabol sa mga shooter.

Sobrang taas ng accuracy ng duo ni Jokic at Murray tapos struggling ang mga shooter ng shoot kapag mahigpit ang depensa sa kanila. Halos di nga ako makapaniwala na nakakuha ng 1 game ang Miami sa Nuggets kahit na sobrang laki ng advantage ng Nuggets sa height ng mga players.

Haha, grabe ka naman kabayan. Malay mo baka lumusot pa yung Heat at manalo pa sa game na ito kung saan na inaakala nating too late na sila para mag bounce back pa. Pero maiba tayo, ang dahilan ata ng Game 2 win ng Heat ay yung di inaasahan ng Nuggets na ganun ang magiging adjustment nila at pinilit din talaga ng Heat yun para makabawi man lang dahil alam nila na di nila kayang ipanalo ang buong dalawang laro sa kanilang homecourt. Tamo anong nangyari, ni isang panalo sa bahay nila ay di man lang pinagbigyan.

[/hr]

Balik tayo sa tayaan kabayan! Grin Parang natatawa ako sa bet ko dahil biglang Nuggets ang taya eh no haha, first time ko din nakapag bet sa kanilang kupunan mula nung nagsimula ang playoffs dahil sa Lakers kasi ako humahataw.

Denver Nuggets -9.5 @ 2.05 vs Miami Heat tapos titirahin ko din itong over. Good luck sa inyo kabayan!

Teofimo Lopez Defeated Josh Taylor

I was really shocked Teofimo Lopez has proven that his speed is really something for Josh Taylor to be afraid of, and not just his speed but his fighting IQ aswell, well I was really wrong, but can we surely know what will be the results when the 2 boxer clash, but surely I think Teofimo Lopez is now ready for a much higher ranking in this division, his fight IQ and speed have already improve so yeah even though I was wrong that Josh Taylor could have a slight chance, it was really a dominating fight for Teofimo Lopez,

I watched their fight and indeed Teofimo Lopez won by unanimous points over Josh Taylor.
I also saw that his punching speed and fighting IQ were very good, even Josh Taylor seemed very overwhelmed by Teofimo Lopez's punches.
But after all Teofimo Lopez is a very good boxer and now he has the title of WBO Junior Welterweight World Champion.
It is possible that Teofimo Lopez will soon be able to get a higher rank in this division.

He has proven to us that he is truly a champion. His loss to Kambosos was probably because he was already struggling to maintain the required weight. Now, he is in a division where he feels very confident, as evidenced by this significant win. Although Josh Taylor also landed some good shots on Lopez, it was Lopez's speed and power that made the difference. Let's expect that he will continue to have big fights, and I'm sure he will once again be a tough challenger if he moves up in weight class.

His win against the former undisputed, Josh Taylor, did really erased all the controversies that he's been through mainly in his last fight versus Sandor Martin which he eventually got the WBO International because people including me thought that he didn't deserve to win the fight. But in this fight, he proved to the world that he's not that bad and can be underestimated with because not everyone has the talent to defeat Josh Taylor as Teo is the first one to give the former his first loss.

Congratulations again, Teofimo Lopez! And my bet was lost Grin
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Beterbiev Vs Smith AUG 19 2023 SATURDAY IBF / WBC / WBO LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT Title on: June 11, 2023, 08:50:26 PM


Although Bivol and his camp shows intentions already to make this fight with Beterbiev. However, Beterbiev will have to go and win against Smith first. The thoughts of this 2 Russians fighting for the unification came to fruition when Bivol and his camp are not satisfied with what Canelo is offering them for a rematch. For them at least a good 50/50 split will make sense since Bivol already beat Canelo in their first fight. But it seems Canelo still wanted to get the biggest split of the purse and the money in the table which for now Bivol and his team rejected.

I've read Canelo's announcement and its arrogant for him to give Bivol that kind of a deal he was dominated, if he wants to avenge his loss and prove that he can beat the guy he should have given Bivol a fair deal to make the fight happen, Canelo knows Bivol will not accept the offer so Canelo can justify why he doesn't want to fight Bivol.

Light heavyweight will never be Canelo's territory because it is ruled by two of the most powerful punchers in Bivol and Beterbiev, Canelo should not over-extend himself.

Canelo still have the leverage over getting big cuts even when he is only a leftover. Can't say he doesn't have a place but because the promotion is with him, he can dictate terms.
Bivol vs AB I guess will happen if that is the case. Which promotion will take them can be a question. Would it be easy to promote a fight where the main event are both Russian? Adding big names in the main card will probably make the hype.


Yes, it is true that Canelo still have the leverage to be in the A-side after all what happened to him recently but asking for a rematch while having the same terms? That is quite absurd because they thought that Bivol will just agree with it just because fighting Canelo is a sure money, but no. Bivol's camp and manager, Vadim Kornilov, is not interested with it as they think that Canelo is just underestimating them for giving the same terms instead of him chasing them as Canelo was the one who lost the first fight.
1632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 11, 2023, 08:30:50 PM
As you know Heat finished the regular season in 7th place in the Eastern Conference. As a result not many people including me were giving them a chance to have a run like this. Butler has done the biggest work in this time period by scoring a lot of points and carrying his team. He has become like Lakers' Lebron or Warriors' Curry.

Therefore Butler needs to be aware of the seriousness of the situation and do something.

I'm guilty about that as well because at first, I didn't have that much confidence towards the Heat especially in the first round where they faced the New York Knicks which they eventually defeated but in the second round, it was almost impossible for me to believe that they can defeat the #1 seed in the East which they did as well. But in the conference finals, that's when I have put my faith in them and it turns out profitable because they managed to eliminate the Celtics and almost swept them after having a 3-0 advantage.

I doubted them through every series.  Of the series I thought they could win was the Celtics one because they match up well against them.  They got help with giannis getting hurt in game one.  But this one might end up being a quick 5 game gentlemen sweep.  I'm leaning hard on Denver all the way through.  No answer for jokic.  And if Murray is on forget it no chance.

It's not that totally unfair where we can say that they got helped from Giannis getting hurt in Game 1 which eventually leaded to certain games of unavailability because the Miami Heat also have their own handicap as Herro and Oladipo's absence really gave the team some troubles too instead of having a much higher win rate per game in a specific series. I mean, look at them now, they surely needed someone who can also handle defense and give some offense but even if Tyler Herro is already available, it's not a wise move to insert him to the team in this phase.
1633  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Terrence Crawford vs Errol Spence - June 17 on: June 11, 2023, 07:25:10 AM
I think what Spence said before is that he is willing to go up in weight at 154 lbs and then fight Charlo. Although there's too much complication on it, they have the same trainer and could have some sparring between themselves.

But for fans, let's say we should be more concern of this fight first, this is huge and for the undisputed belt.

I saw boxer deviating from his current opponent suffers a defeat.  Those who are thinking of his next opponent while he is scheduled to fight another opponent often messed up his fight.  So Spence Jr. must put all his focus on beating Crawford if he don't want to end up kissing the canvas.

It might be possible if we're talking about superwelter weight because I agree that the mentioned division is really achievable by Errol Spence Jr. but towards Canelo Alvarez's division? I think that it will be too much for now considering both boxers situation and might be hard to make it possible even if Canelo will meet Spence in the middle, although when it comes to money, they might able to do that though. Who knows.

Katatapos lang ng 1st half medyo dikit ang laban 4 points lang lamang ng Nuggets, pumapalag sa loob yung Heat sa pangunguna ni Butler at Bam kasama si Lowry, medyo maaga para mapagtanto ang katapusan nitong game, pag tuloy tuloy yung magandang ikot ng depensa at opensa ng Miami baka makasilat sila dito.

Pero medyo baka parang diesel lang si Murray na pagpasok pa ng 2nd half hahataw, si Gordon at Jokic kasi ang bumabanat pa lang hindi pa masyadong ramdam si Murray.

Hindi pa rin gaanong humahataw sa opensa tong si Murray pero yong Gordon ang pumalit sa pwesto nya at siya pa nga ang kasalukuyan ngayong points leader para sa Nuggets with 25 points at lamang na yong Nuggets ng 13 points at the end of the third quarter.

Score ng Heat is 73, kailangan nila ng 110 points para manalo sa isang game kaya tingin ko talo rin sila ngayon dahil hirap silang abutin yong 100 points nga ehh.

edit: panalo yong bet ko kaya may patimpalak akong kaunti para sa atin dito sa lokal sana salihan nyo mga kabayan.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5455909.msg62383274#msg62383274

Congratulations sa iyo kabayan! Talo pa rin ang Miami Heat at kitang-kita ko na talaga na hindi na nila kakayaning bumangon pa ulit lalo na next game dahil gaganapin ito sa Nuggets homecourt, karapat-dapat naman din talaga ang Denver Nuggets na masungkit ang pinakaunang titulo nila dahil nga napaka tigasin din naman ng duo nila. Tila mas higit pa ito kina Shaq at Kobe.

Next game, Nuggets na ako tataya for sure pero sana maganda ang odds dahil parang last game nadin ito eh.

Josh Taylor looking to knock out Teofimo Lopez early as he warns: 'I'm unlocking my full potential'
This is what I wanted to hear from Josh Taylor because he was been so quiet lately and the last time he showed his face in the public was the interview he had in the middle of Garcia vs Tank fight, IIRC. Now I know that Teofimo is also careful and can eat a couple of punch but when the fight started to drag longer, I really doubt that he can still keep up with Josh Taylor and probably the fight will result into a KO/TKO.
And Timothy Bradley is also backing up Josh Taylor to win this match, he says Teofimo Lopez doesn't have the firepower he had at 135 pounds because of the bigger fighter at 140 pounds.
Quote
“So I’m going with Taylor because he’s the veteran at 140 pounds of his career. He’s fought a lot of tough guys in the weight class, including Regis Prograis. I’m going on his body of work and what he’s done over the course of,” said Tim Bradley to Fighthype about his choice for Saturday’s match between Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez.
Source: Tim Bradley Picks Josh Taylor Over Teofimo Lopez For Saturday - Boxing News 24 (https://www.boxingnews24.com/2023/06/tim-bradley-picks-josh-taylor-over-teofimo-lopez-for-saturday/)

These two fighters are getting spicy at their trash-talking.
Josh Taylor just recently walked out of a joint interview because he said Teofimo Lopez is talking "absolute waffle". Grin "He doesn't make sense and he is boring", said Taylor.
Then a threat came out from Lopez, he said he will take the life of Josh Taylor. I don't know if they should investigate this or not, but we rarely heard a boxer say those kinds of things. Anywhere it goes, it is still a sport, you don't want the other boxer to die because you are both sportsmen. This ain't war. I think Lopez is making this personal and not in a good way, it's so deep that he could say such things.

Top Rank even increased their security just so these two won't be injured before the fight happens. They know the fire is burning too hot and they have to protect them or else we won't see a fight in the boxing ring.
It's not just Timothy Bradley but there are several boxers too who spoke up that Josh Taylor will be too difficult for Teo Lopez to handle.
Besides, it doesn't really matter who is backing it up or even someone will back up Teofimo Lopez because I don't think that it is still not clear for everyone to know that Teofimo Lopez is just way out of Josh Taylor's league. I mean, yes, he does have some chance but that chance is probably so slim that we cannot even see Teo winning and defeating Josh Taylor on the process.

I don't know if Taylor does all these things to get more attention, he knows very well that saying these words turns everything on, in part I don't blame him, maybe it's a strategy to be able to perform better, maybe when he In the match between these two, things can be seen far from a knockout, of course I am not saying that they are lies, but here things in boxing have to give way to the show, in part many win by betting and the business is in the bets and these words are like adding fuel to the fire, so I see it as normal, as something of a natural rivalry between boxers.

Josh Taylor, Teofimo Lopez Make Weight; Jamaine Ortiz Overweight, Scratched From Undercard



Quote
Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez were kept completely apart again Friday after they made weight at Madison Square Garden.

Taylor talked trash and pointed at his head to indicate that he is mentally stronger than Lopez. A calmer Lopez looked directly at Taylor from across the stage, but the former unified lightweight champion didn’t say anything to his opponent before they went their separate ways.

Moments earlier, Taylor stepped on the New York State Athletic Commission scale at 139.8 pounds. Lopez was slightly heavier, as he stripped naked and officially weighed in at their division’s maximum of 140 pounds.

Scotland’s Taylor, 32, will defend his WBO junior welterweight title against Lopez on Saturday night in New York. Brooklyn’s Lopez, 25, is the mandatory challenger for Taylor’s title.

You mean Teofimo Lopez?

Well, yes, there is a good chance that it was planned to add some hype between them and to even market the fight to have a lot of attention from the public. I mean, that is surely not new because we have already saw plethora of boxers and camps who have done the same thing, so it's not really that shocking anymore. But let's see because I have a feeling that Teo might have crossed the line when he tried to burn Josh Taylor thru some words, it might be interesting though because Taylor have already said some few words too after that.

And it now happened, WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Marlon Tapales might now be the PH boxer who has the chance to face Naoya Inoue first, instead of the expectation of the majority, that it's Casimero who is currently still climbing the 122 division rankings. Of course, Tapales meeting Inoue soon will just happen if the latter will win against Fulton.

If Stephen Fulton wins against Naoya Inoue, Marlon Tapales instead will unify his belt against him. If Fulton still wins, Tapales might meet Inoue as both will be a contender but the status of Casimero when that time comes might still be hanging because he can't even secure a big fight "for now" to somehow give him a chance to climb at a much higher rank.

There's also a possibility that later in the 122 division, a PH vs PH might face each other.

Well then, too early for these speculations mine Smiley. What matter here is, Tapales is now almost secured to have the next big fight on his timeline.

What you're saying is not entirely impossible mate because as long as Casimero will stay active and have successive fights, soon enough, his ranking will surely increase and most probably will earn himself a big fight someday. Although there might be some changes when it comes to the possible opponent of Casimero, Inoue and Tapales because I think Fulton will shuffle all the cards in time when he leaves the division and vacates the belt he is possessing, if he won his future fight with Inoue.

So we should still be looking for Donaire to fight this year for the belt, hopefully July is suitable for both fighters and it should be in USA. No doubt that he still has a lot of fans and followers, Filipino or non-Filipinos.
This is a championship fight, so it will likely be held in the US. People are already bored as they are not witnessing much real action in boxing. Perhaps after Inoue vs Fulton, we will have the opportunity to witness this particular fight.

Since Donaire might only fight once this year, if it happens, next year could potentially feature a unification fight. It remains to be seen whether it will be against Jason Moloney or Takuma Inoue, as it would require agreement from the other champions involved.

Donaire's road is getting blurry as the time goes by, don't take it wrong because I really wanted to see him fight as long as he thinks he can and I will support him on his journey. But judging his current situation, most of us here already know that it is not that good and the thing is, we are not receiving any updates at all about what happened about his fight because the last time that his name was featured was when Santiago was selected to fight him and then nothing follows after that.

Donaire should speak up about his real situation because even if we have some speculations, that is still a speculation and will not be a fact if neither one of the two camps will confirm it. For Donaire, he surely wanted a fight that will make his pocket heavy and that is why he ought to give an update to his fans.

As you know Heat finished the regular season in 7th place in the Eastern Conference. As a result not many people including me were giving them a chance to have a run like this. Butler has done the biggest work in this time period by scoring a lot of points and carrying his team. He has become like Lakers' Lebron or Warriors' Curry.

Therefore Butler needs to be aware of the seriousness of the situation and do something.

I'm guilty about that as well because at first, I didn't have that much confidence towards the Heat especially in the first round where they faced the New York Knicks which they eventually defeated but in the second round, it was almost impossible for me to believe that they can defeat the #1 seed in the East which they did as well. But in the conference finals, that's when I have put my faith in them and it turns out profitable because they managed to eliminate the Celtics and almost swept them after having a 3-0 advantage.

That's sad news because they did really waive CP3. Well, who knows if his era is about to end but that's not what I am hearing from the rumors and the one that I'm hearing is about the Lakers eyeing him. It's possible that he gets to play with Lebron if ever he'll stay in the Lakers. I know that teams won't let it pass that if there's an opportunity to take CP3, they'll take him. He's able to help the Suns to get to where they've landed this season and that's commendable to him, he'll sure find another home.

Paul and James both have guaranteed contracts for next season. So my guess is that James will most likely stay with the Lakers, but Paul's situation isn't so clear-cut. I mean, Paul is quite an expensive asset for any team since his salary should be $30.8 million for next season. So if the Lakers really want to get Paul, it won't be an easy task for them because they have nothing to offer the Suns in such a deal.

The Lakers don't have any problems regarding about that because they can always get CP3 as they can still afford the contract entailed to him but the problem is, Chris Paul is not that useful anymore because just like anybody else in the league, when they are getting older, it is expected that their performance will also decline. Even LeBron James is having some difficulties already even if he's still having a good stats. So, Chris Paul's contract doesn't really fit him being an asset because most of the time, he's a liability instead of an asset.

I've been thinking this over for a few hours and now i'm finalizing this one, pupusta na muna ako sa Nuggets sa game 4 -3.5 @1.88 kasi napagtanto ko na wala talagang palag yong Heat sa ilalim eh, minamama lang sila ni Jokic plus bumibirada pa ng husto ngayon si Murray na siyang nagpahirap sa mga guards ng Heat. Pag-asa lang talaga ng Heat dito ay kung pumapasok yong mga tres nila, let's say above 40 percent sila sa teritoryong yon pero hindi, inconsistent pa rin sila.

Nuggets -3.5 @1.88

Pero pag may attractive odds once mabaon na yong Heat ay kukuha rin ako tulad noong sa game 3.

Good luck sa ating lahat kabayan.

Nice analysis kabayan dahil di talaga maipagkakaila na lugi talaga ang Miami Heat kahit saang angulo man natin tingnan at sadyang napakahirap talaga na talunin ang Nuggets maging sa bahay man nila or on the road ito. Sa ngayon ay sa Miami Heat na muna ako at ito ang magsisilbing last game ko sa kanila dahil katulad ng ng sabi mo kabayan ay maliit lang ang chance nila.

Miami Heat +3.5 @ 2.04 tapos lagyan ko na rin ng kaunti sa moneyline @ 2.44 para kung sakali lang.

Good luck!
