That's what Embiid is good at as well.
His footwork is better than most of the bigs out there, but at the same time, he is also good at drawing fouls. No wonder why he is now the current leading in the MVP race, and TBH, he might spoil the 3rd straight MVP of Jokic, and if that happens, Embiid really deserves it. I just hope that how he is playing on regular season will be the same when they are in the playoffs, because he's playing on an MVP level, but he didn't even reach the Conference Finals yet.

A little you say. Well, I guess yes, and knowing that they will play 3 more games on their home, Kerr will be happier if he will see Poole being consistent in their next 3 games.

It must be.

People want changes, and there is a high chance that Ginebra will "again" go in the PBA Finals (more revenue). Fans want Ginebra to face other team aside from Meralco in the Finals because they know already that the Bolts will not win against Ginebra in the Finals. What if there's a plot twist to this one? What if for some reasons, SMB will defeat Ginebra and they will face TNT in the PBA Finals? I mean it isn't impossible knowing that SMB is also a strong team, and if that happens, we might see Fajardo playing as well.

With that convincing win, I think that the TNT will cover that -5.5 spread (currently in Stake).

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is still undefeated since he went on as the import of the TNT. He isn't a prolific scorer like other imports, but it's good to see other TNT local players helping him offensively. He isn't like Franklin, or Jordan Williams, or Hudson who is scoring more than 30 or even 40, but he's an all around player. He can shoot, but at the same time he can also play inside the paint and knows how to pass as well. I think this will go 2-0 favoring the TNT.

Let's just hope that Poole will be playing like this all throughout the playoffs, or at least most of the playoff games, or they don't have a chance to defend their title.

Both Curry and Thompson is a stress for their opposing team already, but what if they had another player who can shot, and as efficient as both of them. Poole has been inconsistent all throughout the season, but when he erupts, it really is a big help for the whole team. They won the first out of their four home games, and looking at their opponents in that 4 games, the Sixers are the hardest one to defeat with, and with this win, I guess the Warriors can easily win against the Timberwolves, Pelicans and Spurs on their home, but still everything can happen. It's just that the Warriors are playing really well on their home.

Anyway, I would love to see Splash Brothers + Poole Party raining threes on the playoffs.

Mali ako dun. Akala ko sa IMENA nila balak ilagay pero parang sa NA ata. Sa ngayon wala nang kasunod yung rumor na yun so baka hindi din mag-materialize pero depende sa mga mangyayari. Yung mga kasama rin niya dati noon sa WERJ naglalaro na ata ng ROX.

Regarding peacefulness, lahat pala ng servers dito sa buong NA Region (NA1 & NA2) ay hawak na ng DTM, maliban lang dun sa NA77 kung saan pumasok ang PHA at nakuha ang Castle noong nakaraan lang. Pakiramdam ko hawak ng buong DTM ang NA pero mayroon pa ring mga players dun na kumakalaban sa kanila so hindi ko masasabing peaceful pa rin dahil may mga kalaban pa rin sila. Sadyang di lang nila kayang paalisin ang DTM.

Sabuk War. Maganda ito dahil labanan ito ng mga pinakamalakas sa pinakamalakas sa buong region. Hindi ko na sasabihin yung buong detalye dahil may video na rin naman na ginawa ang Wemade para dito. Ang maganda dito sa Sabuk War ay walang allies. Kahit magka-ally kayo, pwede nyo pa rin atakehin ang isa't isa. Nakahostile kayo automatic kapag nakapasok na kayo dun sa war area at maganda ito para maiwasan ang politics dahil alam naman natin na may chansa na yung magka-ally sa magkaibang server eh unahin yung kabilang server muna. Ito yung link dun sa video nila para mas maintindihan. Napanood ko na rin pero hindi ko na inaasahang makakasali ako jan .

Vanvleet's comments regarding a referee during an interview is way harsher than this one. Well, he got fined after that rant, but at least he said the truth.

Vanvleet did it. Luka did it. I expect more of this in the future where players will express their feelings towards the referees thru rant's or gestures like both of them did. As for Luka's actions, I think there is a reason why he did that, and for him it's pretty obvious, and I might agree with him as well, but at the end of the day, referee's calls will not change. I wonder what Scott Foster is doing while seeing these referees doing wrong calls.

Splash Brother + Poole Party for the win. All 3 of them scored 83 of the total 120 points with a combined 3-pt shooting of 14-31.

It was a close one TBH, until the final minute, but the three of Poole in the corner sealed the deal for the victory. They spoiled Embiid's 46 point performance, but I'm worried because they can't stop him. Even Looney who is their tallest guy on the Warriors team can't even stop him. For the Warriors to be a playoff contender, or if they want to repeat their title, at least they need to be better in terms of defense. I just hope that Wiggins and GPII will return when playoff comes.

Well, at least he didn't last when they asked him his whereabouts, and instead confessed everything. He admitted his wrongdoings. 

Kidding aside, it's kind of funny and scary how he really deceived his church members to the point that he got money from them just to have funds to be used into gambling. I guess he's lucky that he won that huge amount, and because of that he stopped doing deceiving other people. I guess it's good for the members, and because of that, the pastor stopped fooling them.

I don't think so.

I mean I love what I'm doing, and I still didn't achieved my goals yet so even though I will win the same amount of money, I will not stop what I'm doing. I will just invest that money. I will just use that money to work for me, and get passive income.

Well, that's the downside of him being focusing more on complaining rather than just play after what happened.
Maybe that's also the reason why they are one of the worst teams right now in terms of defense. Anyway, I just hope that he will be matured enough to not complain again like what he's doing in his rookie season where he is just focusing on playing instead of complaining.

Anyway, the Sixers are still 3.5 games above the 4th seeded Cavaliers so this one lose from the Warriors will not affect them that much so... I guess it really is a good decision for the Sixers not to push Embiid and Harden knowing that there are only a few games remaining until the regular season ends. After all, the Warriors are playing very well on their home, and they needed wins for them to have a good spot in the playoffs.

Like what the Sixers did, I expect also those top teams currently to either sit down their key players or limit their playing time to reduce the chances of them getting injured. Maybe the Bucks will let Giannis sit for one to two games since they're 2.5 games above the 2nd seeded Celtics. The Nuggets might let Jokic and Murray sit down for a few games as well as they're 3.5 games above the 2nd seeded Grizzlies.

Enough of Meralco Vs. Ginebra series. I want to see a different team/s playing in the PBA Finals. We want to see other teams having an opportunity playing in the PBA Finals. If Ginebra will go to PBA Finals again (like always as long as there's an import), I want TNT to be their opponent.

That first game between the 2 has been a one-sided match I should say. A dominating win for the TNT. I don't think Meralco have the pieces to defeat TNT right now. I mean they're a star-studded team as well like SMB or Ginebra out there, so I predict that TNT will win on this series in 4 games. It was a collective effort for the TNT as 5 players scored in double digits lead by their import who has 22 points. Their import, Hollis-Jefferson really isn't a good three-point shooter as he isn't attempting that much, but he's a great one in terms of perimeter shooting.

The current 8th to 11th seeded teams in the West have all the same record with 36-37.
I've never seen the Western Conference standings to be as close as this one. I mean the only difference of the 4th seed to the 12th seed is only 3 games.

As for the Thunder and the Laker, all of their games is already a must win for them. The Lakers are currently on a 2 game winning streak and again, they will try to go to .500 because they tried twice and failed twice. TBH, the Lakers needed the slot more than the Thunder needed it. Many wants Lebron to play again in the playoffs, and for sure, many Laker fans wanted to see their team play in the playoffs or even in the play-in at least. A win for either 2 of these teams might put them to the 8th spot at least.

Like you, I believe that the Lakers will win on this one as well. Reaves is playing his best season currently, and they have the pieces to win on this one. TBH, I just don't know why they aren't still above .500 where in fact, their roster is already great and can compete against other playoff teams.

The more experience you have, the better you control your emotions so to answer your question, it's yes.

When I was a newbie in trading, there was also a time where I got FOMO'ed, and because of that I lost a half of my capital. I learned from that mistake of mine, but that wasn't enough learnings from me because I did it again the second time. I got FOMO'ed again and lost more than half of my initial capital. From that, I learned from it because I already experienced losing in trading. Though I can't say that I'm not experiencing any losses in trading, I can say that currently, I'm profiting more than losing in trading, and I'm not doing the same mistakes that I did again.

Experience really is a huge thing when it comes to trading because from that, you will learn and you will adjust to it. If you made mistake, you will adjust base on what happened to you. You will not learn if you didn't experienced it. Maybe there are some traders who for some reasons, traded very well since they started, but most of the newbies really tend to lose their money as they start, and one reasons is their emotions.

Meme coins in general doesn't have any use case at all... or I should say that DOGE has a use case while SHIB?? I don't know if there is any at all. SHIB just increases on it's rankings because of Elon Musk hyping it. Surprisingly, it stayed on the top in terms of market cap for an unknown reason.

Most of the meme coins will die like what always happen.

They hype of memecoins was when Elon hyped DOGE and SHIB. After that, lots of memecoins emerged. Some are scam, some are just useless, worthless shitcoins. Some become deadcoins, and some have been abandoned by their developers. Anyway, even without Elon, DOGE has always been at the top for a long time already. It has been on the top 100 in terms of market cap.

Poverty will not and will never end.
Government's help has limitations. We can't all depend to the government. We need to do our thing as well in order for us to get out of poverty.

When people are having a hard time, there is this nature of a person where they are blaming somebody for what they've done themselves like in this case, the are blaming the government on why the price of basic needs are increasing. These people are also the people who don't know what is called "inflation", and what they know only is that, it's the government's fault as to why prices are increasing.

Some governments are doing their job to at least decrease the price of basic needs such as oil, gas, and food, but on the other hand, there are some things that it isn't controllable at all like inflation. If people want to go out of poverty, they must do something and don't rely it all to the government.

One factor here why online gambling industry has been growing rapidly is the fact that we had a pandemic.
Pandemic prevented those gamblers going out and go to a casino. Some of these gamblers really do want to spend their time gambling thus, they found a way, and they tried online gambling. Maybe some of those gamblers who are going on a casino preferred gambling online for various reasons. The rise is significant indeed, but if the pandemic didn't happen, I guess the growth will not be that huge.

Slots is pure chance I guess, Poker and Blackjack is both game of chance and skills because you need a bit of a luck in drawing the cards you need and you need skills or in this case experience so you will know what will you do. I don't know what Baccarat is, but I often hear it in some gamblers out there.

Some have been removed unfortunately for some reasons.

When somebody is being added or accepted after applying here, he will send a PM to that applicant telling that he's accepted. Is this fake pump or whatever term it is? So the other campaign managers who's in need of participants are doing fake pump as well then?

I hope they will fine that announcer for not doing his job correctly.

I mean we know how important the announcement of the announcer is. What if it's playoffs already and unfortunately he made that mistake again? That wrong announcement can cause one team a win. As for Cuban's reaction regarding that, he was talking at the crew's table a few minutes after that mistake was done, and nothing changed so he just posted it on social media. He posted it for awareness maybe... and for some reasons as well.

I believe the problem with them is their defense. I mean you let Curry drive the ball without any defender inside the paint? You let Kleber guard him outside the 3-point area? That's just ridiculous, and we know that there are no teams who will let their big player guard a smaller guard like Curry outside the 3-point area. Only the Mavericks are doing it. Regarding the mistake, what if the lead is one-sided? What if it was a 15 or 20 point lead when it happened? Will Cuban still rant on social media?

You can't blame the kid because after all, he saw all the flaws of these referees have. He saw all of the mistakes all of these referees are making, and sometimes, it causes them the game. These wrong calls sometimes make them lose. Though like you, I also like to see the old Luka who isn't complaining, but can't blame him for his actions. It's just me though because I can understand the frustration sometimes.

A miserable day for me I guess... or not. 1/4 only today and the one with the lowest odds is the one where I won.

Miami Heat - New York Knicks - New York Knicks @ 2.07 - LOST
- The game was close the whole game until the final minutes of the game where the Heat stepped up, and getting the victory. Butler lead his team with 35 points, while Herro also scored 22 points. It's good to see bench players like Vincent, Struss and Lowry stepping up and scoring double digits.

Dallas Mavericks - Golden State Warriors - Dallas Mavericks @ 2.16 - LOST
- Curry did an easy lay-up to push the lead up to 3, the Mavericks made a very bad possession in the crucial seconds that caused them the game. TBH, the referees are kinda sus because they don't want to give Draymond Green his 6th foul even though there are some instances where he already fouled a Mavericks player. Anyway, a win is a win, and speaking of wins, it's the first time that the Warriors won back-to-back on the road this season. Curry only has 20 points, but had 13 assists. Overall, it was a collective effort for the Warriors that's why they won.

Los Angeles Lakers - Phoenix Suns - Phoenix Suns @ 1.89 - LOST
- Am I the only one seeing Reaves as a starter tonight? I mean after his career night, he already has been a starter, and it seems like he is having a good night as well scoring 25 points and 11 assists. This kid needs that $50M 4 year contract. He might be a big help offensively if their superstars are out. Anyway, good game for the Lakers.

Chicago Bulls - Philadelphia 76ers - Philadelphia 76ers @1.63 - WIN
- Didn't watch the game, but when I saw that the Sixers had a 22 point lead in the 1st quarter alone, I knew what will happen already. They got that lead, and never looked back. Embiid only played 16 minutes and scored 12 points. Is he injured? Anyway, the Bulls as a whole team just played very awful in their home to the point that the points of their bench players are more than the points of their starters. :X

Congratulations to all who won at their bets.

I can feel you.

Currently, I have 2 jobs because like many others are saying here, only one source of income isn't enough for the whole household to survive. Yes all of us here in the house are working (but I'm the one who's working from home), but still I prefer having a 2nd source of income just incase my main source of income unfortunately ends up for whatever reason it is.

Like you, I already sacrificed my sleeping time, and there are times where I only sleep 5-6 hours a day because aside from my work, I'm also the one doing the household chores since I'm the only one who's in the house all the time. I wonder how much sleep I can get whenever we will have our own baby. This is also the reason why I'm putting most of my money now in the stock market. I have a specific target where I want to earn X amount of money every month thru dividends. It will be a huge amount for sure, but I know I can reach that. Sacrifice first before comfortability.

A very subjective question I must say.

It all depends on how your lifestyle is. Are you frugal? Are you spending too much money on things you don't need? Are you a huge spender on some things? Are you a gambler? Are you a saver? Are you an investor? How much you need for retirement depends on how your lifestyle is. If you don't have any mortgages, any loans, but you do saved a lot of Bitcoins in the past then I guess 10 BTC and 100 ETH would be enough. However, if you are a big spender, have lots of loans, I'm afraid that you need more of that. Also take note that we don't know what the price of these 2 coins will be in 2032. We might see Bitcoin's price at that year still below $100,000 and Ethereum still below $2,000.

My plan? Accumulate and accumulate until I've reached the point where I don't want to accumulate anymore.

Relatives? Hmm I don't think that there is anybody here in my place who's involved in Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general, but maybe some of my relatives that lives in other places are involved especially those who are at least know how to use computer, and a bit of Google.

Friends? I know some, but they aren't investing at all which is kind of unfortunate, and make me sadden at the same time. I mean the ones that I know are at the 20's already, and whenever I ask them if they invested into Bitcoin already, they always say "We will do it next month, or maybe next year." I mean you can start even with a few amounts of money only right?

I just hope that one day, there will be a time where me and my other relatives and friends will be sharing our thoughts with regards to cryptocurrency. I would love doing that. I would love sharing my knowledge with them, and learning from them as well.

Who's that person?? I don't know him at all
Ohhh he's the current founder of Tron. The founder who has lots of controversies already way back a few years ago. I can't remember, but there was a time where he said something that caused uncertainties to the whole crypto market. Anyway, I can't see it a stressful at all because after this, Bitcoin will just rise up again.

Yes. It will bounce back.
I wish we would see Bitcoin going to touch that $30,000 price resistance this month or even next month. Like you, I don't believe that this is the last negative news that I'll heard in the next few weeks.
