There's always been talks and intrigue about these 2 teams since the Mavs made an upset and knocked the Suns out in the playoffs in 2021. It seems like some Phoenix fans and maybe even Booker himself hasn't moved on yet.
That's why when these two teams meet again early in the season and the Suns won it after a big comeback, the celebration is like they truly got revenge on the Mavericks lol. They should really be bitter in their last year's playoffs exit as just imagined having the best record in the NBA and up by 2 wins in the playoffs against the Mavericks but still choking and losing it. And the worst, they allow the Mavericks to give them as much as 46 points behind, a literal choke. I hope though that they will meet again in this year's playoffs to continue their rivalry, with no injuries and in a healthy lineup. But this lost though, I mean no Luka but still the Dallas were able to escape and get that needed win against their rival. So this could be another huge lost for them mentally and it's worst for them. I wonder what Luka is saying at the back when he saw that his team won against the Suns without him. Well, the Suns don't have Booker as well. Since he got injured, the Suns played not that good. Well, they got a 4 game winning streak before that lost and that shows a sign of adjustments, but still, many are expecting that the Suns will be the same team as they are 2 years ago when they are at the top of the standings. Now they are 25-25 and currently 9th in the league. Nowhere near the expectation of their fans and other people who have high expectations to them. Will they enter the playoffs? Yes for sure. The question now is, where they will land. The worst thing that can happen to them is if they will end up at the play-in tournament. I really doubt their presence if they can have an appearance in the playoffs because they won't get that far because they are heavily relying on Devin Booker alone, point god can't lift the team anymore if he can't give his power pass to someone who is reliable to shoot anymore. Moreover, the Jazz, Thunder, Blazers and Lakers might force their way too. So if CP3 and Booker will get injured again in the precious times then it's a no go for them for sure. Most likely that the Suns has reach it's peaked with CP3 and Booker and the rest, like Ayton. So now they are starting to crumble and struggle with their current roster, they are no longer in their primes, and the NBA has catch up with them. And the injuries too to CP3 and Booker could be a factor as well. Most likely they could make the playoff, but again, facing a difficult team in the first round, they might choke again. I mean cp3 might not be in his pri.e but Booker and ayton are 26 and 24 years old which is the sweet spot for nba players. They are absolutely in theor prime. Problem they have is with Booker out with injury it reduces theor ability to spread the floor. Booker is the key piece to this team. They will be just fine once everyone gets back on the court. |

Nice little bump up this past month. It's been stuck under a dollar usd for awhile. I know it doesn't mean anything for the long run but the physiological threshold of passing $1 is always an important one. Will be watching this closely over the next couple months we could possibly see a little run here.

as we know, many people suggest investing in bitcoin because the risk is not too high.
but if we look at the market there are lots of people buying altcoins, and to be honest I also like to buy altcoins but there aren't many of them, and it's still my biggest investment in bitcoin. and to be honest even though investing in altcoins is risky but I always want to buy and the reason is because of the high pumping..
and I want to ask everyone what is your for buying altcoins, is the reason the same as mine?
Greed. Simple as that it is the get Rick quick scheme of the century. Problem is very few do and most lose all the money they put in. People missed out on bitcoin and think if they get in early on something else they can hit what early bitcoiners hit. Others just use them as trade toys to get more bitcoin. Amd then lastly...gambling. people like the rush. |

Honestly, I'd say he took quite the gamble. Maybe the gambler of the year for 2022! This man bet his marriage on making it all the way to the super bowl. He also bet the majority of his wealth on the FTX scam. Unfortunately Mr. Brady has lost it all! You have got to feel bad for the guy. I am a huge Brady fan, and can sympathize with his losses. Surely many people that don't like him for whatever reason may be happy with his current predicament, which is honestly pretty sad if that is the case. We are all human here, and dealing with tremendous loss is difficult. Especially when you're in the lime light. I recently heard on a radio talk show a clip from a reporter asking Tom Brady just the other day what he was going to do now? Tom replied, " You know *name of the reporter* if I knew what I was going to do I would have already F$%king done it!" Poor Tom. I would bet that Brady stays at it, he is not going to end his career like this, having one of the most brutal years personally 1000% affected his game, I would bet that he gets picked up by another team soon, hopefully New England! Any thoughts on this?
Feel bad for him? Lol. He can go broke every year and become a millionaire over and over again just on his likeness. He has a sitting 10 year broadcasting contract for $350million once he retires. Getting g divorced happens all the time. Dude has an insanely good life so no. Don't feel bad for him |

Lots of games on the docket tonight have some early ones in.
Knicks on the road +2 against the Nets. Almost like a home game and knicks owe the Nets a good beating
Timberwolves at home +2 against kings.
Lakers +9 against the Celtics. Prime time game on ABC and AD coming back. I might actually take the Lakers ML here at these odds.
Jazz -7.5 at home against Dallas with no Luka. Dallas sukcs without Luka thos should be an easy win for jazz.

If this will happen, offered Jerami Grant his maximum four year, $112 million extension...Thave offered Jerami Grant his maximum four year, $112 million extension but the versatile forward is yet to accept the deal, reports Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer. Grant became eligible for the deal earlier this month. Do you think he is deserving of this huge contract? or will help accept it or decline it? The final decision should have a very serious approach. Expecting a much higher contract extension in the free agency is a good option but how sure he was that it will be offered by the Blazers? The original offer was already good and I can't blame him expecting for more but that was a risky move. Surely, he was thinking that overnight. I hope Jerami Grant, if ever really pushes to decline the 4-year $112M contract extension but is, unfortunately, unable to get what he's expected in the free agency in the postseason, won't turn into a Dennis Schroder 2.0. The difference here is Dennis Schroeder and Jerami Grant are 2 completely separate players. Any team would take on Jeremy if they had cap space. He can get that same contract from multiple teams. Dennis Schroeder is easily replaceable with a player coming out of the draft for much cheaper. |

Two of the 49ers' four losses this season have come against dual-threat QBs, QBs who can run the ball well: Fields in Week 1 and Mariota in Week 6. I know it was early in the season and under different circumstances, but still... The 49ers have the league's best run defense, but they'll have their hands full with Hurts' ability to run and his designed Redzone runs, which are difficult to defend/scheme against. I also like AJ Brown's matchup against the 49ers' secondary, which i believe is their weakest link. Metcalf played well on the outside in the wild-card game. Purdy vs. Eagles pass rush is also something to watch, Cowboys' defense was Purdy's first real test, and despite not throwing a touchdown, he didn't give the ball away either, no turnovers. The Eagles' pass rush ranks second in pressure rate and first in sacks, making this another difficult matchup for him. I got the Eagles and Bengals making it to the owl. Excited to watch both games...  I have been thinking about this all week and I can't make heads or tails about it. My guilt says to go with San Fran but I don't know how the pressure of Philly against a real good eagles defense Brock will do. If they can get McCaffrey going it will relieve the stress but if they stack the box all game daring them to air it out It can be a rough day for San Fran. Going with SF though |

Who didn’t hear or watch at least one video about Dana white’s latest show which called The Power Slap League that started this new year of 2023, the rules of this sport are easy and simple where both competitors taking turns trying to knock each other out in order to win
There is a lot of talking about it lately about the low payout of Ufc boss to the participants of this tournament which goes to only 3200£ a Fight while he might be generating millions of dollars of it, But my topic here i want it to be about betting on this new sport and tournament which i still didn’t see any bookmaker announcing anything about this matter, And in my opinion it’s a lot of fan and as any fighting sport there is always bookmakers that will eventually include Power Slap League and allow people to bet on their favorite fighters.
Dumbest sport ever, honestly. Talk about cte and brain issues. Just constantly taking professional hits with no chance to defend yourself. No real tactic either. Just slap the shit out of someone until someone gets knocked out lol. I mean people will definitely bet on it though because that's what we do 😆 |

In holdem I've landed one once but I was only holding 1 of the cards, the other 4 came on the flop and river. I've never in all the years playing was in a hand where even the other player had a royal flush with 2 of theor hole cards used in the flush.

That was Ben Simmon's stats against the Pistons hehe. It just doesn't make sense for a big PG not to make more shot attempts on a league that mostly favors offense now. It was less than 10 tries per game in their last four or five outings. This guy would be very lucky to have a contract extension that's close to his current salary if he keeps playing like this.
Simmons' fear of shooting the ball doesn't surprise me anymore, and I highly doubt the Nets will want to take a risk and offer him a contract extension. I'd rather believe the Nets will get rid of him before his current contract expires. By the way, I'm amused by the fact that even Shaq had a better free throw percentage in his career than Simmons has this season. Yeah he isn't getting an extension he will probably end up buried on a non contender who will take a flyer on him. He was a solid player but mental health looks like it got the best of him. Maybe he just walks away from the game who knows, either way it's a shame and hope the dude gets better mentally for his posy basketball.life. |

Yes, I also believe that the number of participants can affect the quality of the world cup, not to the detriment of other teams, but unfortunately if a country has not participated in previous world cups, it means that it has neither the capacity nor the quality to be a eligible team to participate in the world cup.
I imagine that the main reason the world cup is such a rare and prestigious event is because it takes place every 4 years.
I don't agree. According to the most probable system, the teams that qualify for the knock out stages will play one additional match only, while they could face weaker teams in the group stages. Therefore, their performance won't change a lot in my opinion. On the other hand, increasing the number will give more opportunities for the theoretically weak teams and their fans to appear in the World Cup. However, the decision to increase the number of participants was taken for pure financial reasons. You're right it was purely financial not for competitive reasons. It's like adding new teams to a particular league. It dilutes the competition and quality. Same amount of possible players spread over more teams in this case countries on the lower end of talent. If you can't qualify that should just be it, you don't qualify. |

lately I always buy shiba inu coins in installments using the dca system and in my opinion shiba inu coins will have good potential in the future because looking at the rankings on cmc, what do you think about shiba inu coins, will they have the potential to increase in the future, or not? I want to hear an explanation from all of you?...
Your explanation of their ranking on cmc is not very good. I can go year by year and show you that doesn't mean anything. Shib rose from meme fame on the heels of doge. It's a useless token amd ran up from the fad. Next bull run will be another fad and all these meme coins will slowly fade as people one by one exit theor bag holding position. |

Took the day off after getting burned pretty bad last week. But that was last week! Lol
Here's what I like today, knicks at home getting 3.5. Home getting points I like it without spida in the lineup.
Bulls over the Pacers-3.5. Bulls are better than theor record I think they win this one easily with no one running the point in pacerland.
With kristaps out and rui on the move I like Dallas at home giving 7 points. Beal could blow it for me but he just came back recently hopefully he isn't game fitness ready lol.
Good luck tonight everyone!

Honestly, Rui is not a good enough player just for the three second round picks, let alone Nunn, and I agree that Nunn is not good neither, if it was a straight up trade then I would say they are good, but three second round picks? That has to be terrible man, that's really not a good trade. Lakers basically do not have any picks left, they are trusting this team to either work very well and get a title next year (can't get one this year lets be realistic) or they will just suck for another 5-6 years in a row, not even tanking because they have no picks, they will just suck and that's it, end of story, don't even have a plan to get better.
They are trying to hit gold. Rui is being somewhat misused in Washington and Lakers need to strike gold right now. They can't wait to draft players with lebron and AD in house right now. I agree it's not worth the trade but it is what it is they are trying anything they can to move up. They know for dam sure the squad they throw out there now isn't good enough. |

Today a good mix of home and away teams I like.
Knicks +1.5 at Toronto. These 2 teams always play tight. Like the Knicks on the road here.
Denver -5.5 at home
Suns +8.5 I know it's against the Grizzlies but think Suns can backdoor cover.
Last I like Warriors at home against the Nets-7.5 that's a tough travel for the Nets without Durant gonna be tough.
Good luck everyone.

Hello,
Is Terra Luna Classic recovering?
I doubt that it's entirety will recover. Why does TrustWallet pay 15% profit to staking it?
CZ isn't even delisting it on Binance so, I think that he's still keeping the one that he's got from the team and they're in total loss with this project. A 15% is attracting more people to stake it but it's useless because it's not going to go up unless you still got a lot of it and you've taken that before the debacle because you can't sell it due to big losses. As long as people are buying and selling it and he can make a percentage on the trade then why not. It amazes me how much people are willing to put into luna at this point. It's a complete gamble that will eventually fade away. Lunacy if you ask me. |

Take Mike Evans, he's a hugely underrated wr.
And he is very conditioned by the current situation of the bucs.
Being a lifelong bucs you see just how his season depends on how he throws the wind for the team.
The two years with Brady prior to this have been flawless, this year has been a disappointment along with the whole team. Prior to Brady he too had up and down seasons depending on his team.
Then, by the law of large numbers, if you evaluate his entire career, a Mr. wr still emerges, with the highest number of tds ever in his team.
But season by season it always depends on the whole context
these are my 2 cents
There might be a communication barrier here. Don't know what you are getting at bucs along with Mike Evans are probably on some island on vacation right now. With being said so are my giants. What a terrible game that was. Worst playoff game overall I've seen in a long time. Boring end to end. Backing the Bengals from here on out. |

Sacramento Kings are 3rd in Western Conference! Just let it sink in guys because this is a real achievement from a small team that have been working hard in silence for all this years and finally they are having a great season. This small club really deserves more as we see people are back in the court when team is playing and if we take a look 2 years ago on Sacramento games , we will have saw empty seats over empty seats but it's not the case anymore.
Even if they lost last night , they still scored 127 points without having a great defense game because hey , no one is playing defense anymore this season ...
Glad to see teams like Sacramento step up it gets tiring to see the same teams at the top. Sacramento crowd was awesome years ago when they had a competitive squad with Mike Bibby, c web, stojacovich, etc. They have a fun team to watch but like you said zero defense. |

the meme coin that is most likely to have a high value in the next 4 year cycle, I believe Dogecoin can be more than $ 1, therefore I have continued to buy it since last year because I believe in the Dogecoin community, which is always loyal to support it, especially since Elon is behind it
Not moving much when bitcoin did doesn't bode well for doge. Usd of course it will go up if bitcoin does because most everything is pegged against bitcoin. I don't think it will outperform bitcoin in the long run so I see no point in buying any at this price. |

I went with the Jags with the points here as well as the kc ML. With mahomes out (don't know if he is coming back in) could be a closer game. And then I had to take the giants, Homer fan but they got the whole 2007 vibe going on. In Philly is gonna be a tough game but I like theor chances.
