Beverly lost control, he was frustrated his team lost but in the while, he lost his sportsmanship. IIRC, they were teammates back in Houston but he is acting like they don't know each other. Pat is the best defender in the NBA, maybe, but CP3 is more than that, and he proves it by beating the Clippers.
No, they were not teammates in Houston. It was Beverley that was traded for CP3 and that is why there is hate circling around those two. All the trash talks they had been doing since the start of the series were because of that.
Quote
In the NBA’s second blockbuster trade in less than a week, the Rockets acquired Paul from the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday in exchange for Patrick Beverley, Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, Darrun Hilliard, DeAndre Liggins, Kyle Wiltjer, a protected first-round pick next year and cash considerations. The Rockets acquired Hilliard from Detroit and Liggins from Dallas for cash considerations before adding them to the deal.

That's all the reason for the frustration push after CP3 looked at him like saying he will always be better than him.
It is true, but it hurts Beverley's feelings more.

Congratulations Bucks fans. 1 more to go.

Patience.

I feel the same way last time it dropped below $30k. It was an opportunity that may never fall into us again but all we can do is endure it if there are no funds to buy for it.
I don't want to sell but I can't afford it. There's a solution, sleep through it and the next day it will be a new price.

Now unto the other conference. If Giannis will be out tomorrow in Game 5 and Trae will be out as well, I believe that the Hawks might make another upset again and win on the road. The Bucks might win though if Middleton will step up as well as Holiday and other players in terms of defense and offense.

Just my prediction but I think it will be Suns Vs. Hawks Cheesy.
Both Giannis and Trae don't have that bad of an injury if there will be a chance to play, they'll do it.
Hawks have 3 players listed on their injury report as of this time. Trae, Bogdan, and Capela. Bucks only have Giannis on their list.
Fatigue will be their problem here if they all don't feel well upon playing the game. Capela is a big factor of the Hawks and so is Bogdan who had a big night at game 4.

But like you said, I don't see any of this team winning against the strong Suns team. The battle of adjustments for both coaches will be the big factor to see who can have the upper hand.

It's the best option if you can risk some money in your stash.
Rather than letting it rot without movement of profits or loss (that's part of it) it's better to put it to something that might give you a chance to make passive money.
Speculations are high that Bitcoin can still reach numbers that we won't really expect to happen. i.e. $100k up
Make your research first, then pick some of those coins that you can manage to buy, I suggest Bitcoin first.
1945  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: July 01, 2021, 07:12:25 AM
I know most people probably hate Patrick Beverly but I'm sure his temates appreciate not having to play against him lol.  No one would have went at ayton like Patrick did.  Anyway clips need a big 3rd quarter if they are going to pull this out.  Cp3 is too much with a big lead in the 4th to come back on.
I am one of the dudes that don't hate this guy even with all that drama that happened.
He is vocal, motivated, and pumped. He just wants to win in every possible way he can and his contributions made a big impact for the Clippers taking that 2 wins even without Kawhi. They might have lost the Conference Finals but he gave NBA players a big lesson that they cannot mess with him.
Imagine if players play the same way he did. It's like the 80's all over again and NBA won't be called soft anymore.

Those are just records of proportions of Bitcoin and a summary of how many people are holding it.
We can't tell if those are whales or just holders who had been keeping their coins for a long time up until now.

But about your question, yes, whales do manipulate the market and it may not be with bitcoin but altcoins.
A good example is Elon Musk trying to manipulate Dogecoin. You may want to avoid those kinds as it gives higher risks if suddenly that bagholder decided to switch to something better to toy with.
1947  Economy / Speculation / Re: How low will Bitcoin go? on: July 01, 2021, 01:28:32 AM
All we can do is to drop a wild guess since even if how good you are reading the chart still it will not give you any guarantee that we can say the exact amount will came in future although we can get a basis on it but still we kniw market moves is surprising thats why its hard to tell if we can see lower than 34k or we will go up surge for more these days.
Lucky are those who took the chance of purchasing Bitcoin at $28k.
Even if it's a risky choice, the possibility of bouncing back up is still higher than being dumped after a dump.
This price is where it started before Elon Musk started bombarding Twitter about buying Bitcoin.
So I guess this is where it should also stay. Any price that goes lower at $30k is a good entry point for new investors.
1948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 30, 2021, 11:54:02 PM
But with that, they are now well aware that Hawks offense isn't just Trae Young. That lose should serve them a lesson.

I don't see Bucks having a disadvantage if Giannis won't play. They still far have the better lineup. On the other hand, the Hawks don't have their main guy too so it's just equal if ever both won't play the next game and so.

If the Hawks were able to adjust without Trae then Bucks should do the same. But whoever wins on that series, it's now necessary to have their main guy play. With the remaining teams battling for the chip, Phoenix Suns is the only team playing with the healthy lineup currently.
Yes! This is the time where adjustments are made. Playoffs and Finals.
Now that Giannis is out of the picture, Middleton could wreak havoc and Jrue Holiday could focus on his offense without worrying about the status of Giannis being the MVP for the Finals.
Let's not overreact to the Hawks win because both of them stole 1 game in their respective home courts. That means both are also looking for new ways to counter-attack and it's good, adding uncertainty to which team will win the game.
1949  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: This sh*t ain't for the faint of heart! 😭 on: June 30, 2021, 03:10:25 PM
If you really did it then, congratulations.
Sometimes all you need is a bit of courage to take the risk. I have read that you are a trader and a short-term one.
You did a good choice and most probably you have already sold what you bought. If I have the budget, I might have also done the same thing, but it's just to keep it long-term.
That low price could be a once-in-a-lifetime chance and we may never see it again.
1950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 30, 2021, 10:17:17 AM
If no Trae Young next game, so it just evens it out, as both superstar as out with an injury. Hope though that Giannis can recover quickly, this opportunity may not come again.

Maybe tomorrow we will see some news, give it like 24 hours, I'm sure they are doing everything to get him at least play. Nice adjustments on the side of the Hawks, just like the Clippers, they are in a must win situation so they did everything perfect and ties the series.
Trae didn't leave his team, that's the good side of him. He stayed on the sidelines to cheer for them. Leaders like him make a huge impact on the team if they meant every support they could give.
Doesn't need to force it, all he has to do is trust his teammates to take the win and they did.
Cam Reddish given minutes was all worth it contributing 2/3 in 3 points, 2 steals, and 1 block. Surprising. We got to see bench players wake up their ability in a nail-biting ECF.
1951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 30, 2021, 06:56:48 AM
I personally think Trea Young is a terrible player. Always forcing passes and throwing up those floaters. Kinda happy to see the Hawks win 1 without him. Far as the series goes, if Giannis is out the Hawks will take the series.
Yes, a sudden change with the flow of the series with Giannis being injured.

I saw it and I thought it was really bad but he managed to walk by himself afterward and it was a relief.
A part of his feet bent backward after he came down trying to block Capela. I cannot even watch the replay as it melts my heart.
The bad part also was he was starting to find his rhythm.

Middleton should start heating up early from now on. He had been inconsistent for an All-Star player.
Game 1 15 points
Game 2 15 points
Game 3 38 points
Game 4 16 points
Sorry, he was consistent in a bad way.  Grin 15 PPG

I don't think Zuckerberg will just let it go.
He has a purpose, to make more money and Libra is the answer. He will surface the issue over and over until one senator will support it for the coin to be regulated.
As of now, there is no good news about it and they keep on putting it in the garbage but as time goes by and cryptocurrencies floating more on social media it will be like Ripple or Tether when passed.
1953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: June 29, 2021, 03:48:26 PM
They attempt to rally back and almost successful they put it down to only 4 points, if that 3 points that Jackson made and that flagrant foul by Crowder, Clippers might end up to nothing,

Congrats to all those who believes that Clippers will still hang on, they managed to win and keep their hope alive, they'll got another game at home and have that chance to continue chasing for the ring.

Who knows what fate is waiting for them, Suns needs to work if they wanted to finished this series and advance to the finals.
Paul George wants that win so bad he will do everything for it. Patrick Beverley has the same motivation as him and he input it all with his defensive explosiveness.
CP3 was having a hard time dealing with him and so does Booker.
I like how Tyronn Lue trusted Batum to defend Booker whenever both stars are on the floor.
He may not have the speed but he has long reach and it affected Booker's performance.

Later, Bucks and Atlanta, the odds are already telling who has a higher chance to win. Quite different with Clippers and Suns spreads that are almost identical.
The Bucks will win this.
1954  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 29, 2021, 09:30:55 AM
Well... in this last game we saw, Clippers can be a dangerous and strong team without Kawi Leonard... 14/15 free throws, PG was on fire, DCousins only played 10~11 minutes and scored 15 points.

I don't know, but I'm seeing it happen again like it did in 2016 finals, Cavs vs GSW "3-1 come back".

wow, imagine if Clippers can get a game 7 and can win this WCF!!?  Roll Eyes Shocked

Definitely anything can happen!  Cool Cheesy
Definitely!  Cheesy
I am with everyone who wants a game 7 here. Even if it will be at Phoenix with homecourt advantage, it will still be entertaining to watch how the Clippers could maneuver the pace of the game with all the fans against them.
I can see a lot of confidence from the Clippers team and they should stay like that if they want this series to have a good ending.
Well, it's not that far, and just one more win for the Clippers to witness exciting greatness again.
1955  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BNB has tokens for each Altcoin on: June 29, 2021, 05:36:15 AM
It's called wrapped tokens.
Quote
Wrapped tokens allow an asset issued by one blockchain to live on another. They increase the liquidity and capital efficiency of centralized and decentralized exchanges. They can also bridge the gap between isolated liquidity on multiple chains and offer significantly faster transaction times and lower fees
They use it a lot with their exchanges that also use a wallet. It's not an issue because you can still exchange it at their network.
But, if you want to keep the real altcoin or real Bitcoin you will need to exchange it for something without the "W".
I think they use this method to prevent failure of providing with that certain coin/token especially if there is a low total supply.

Lower fees and transaction time is fast because you are just using the Binance chain in this example.

That's new to me. I had no idea that Chauncey was accused of sexual harassment before. Was it even out in the news before or they kept it?

It's been known for a while, why do you think he's had trouble landing a job as GM or head coach the last couple of years, best he could do was assistant for the Clippers, or doing stuff for ESPN. It's hard when you have something like that on your resume...
Now I know the reason why he is on and off-air with ESPN. I thought he will be regular there but found out he was an assistant coach for a team.
Then now, he is the new head coach of the Trail Blazers. My goodness.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/31721009/sources-portland-trail-blazers-reach-agreement-5-year-deal-hire-chauncey-billups-coach
I really hope he is good at his coaching style only and not with sexual harassment anymore.
I'd give him a chance but hands-off to any body, I mean anybody.   Grin
1957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: June 27, 2021, 11:29:32 PM
Blazers are set to announce their new head-coach[1] early next week, but we have some very interesting (not so much if you are a Blazers fan) news coming out of Chris Haynes:

source: https://twitter.com/ChrisBHaynes/status/1409249662351994881
Quote
The backlash from Portland Trail Blazers’ coaching search and his concerns over whether a championship contender can be built have become major factors that could force Damian Lillard to request out, league sources tell @YahooSports.

If you haven't followed the story, Lillard is taking heat from some Blazers fans on social media, because of the hire of Chauncey Billups[1], there have been rape allegations dating back from the late 90s against Billups. Lillard is saying he didn't know, nor that he was consulted when picking the new coach.  This is still a developing story, but don't get surprised if Dame indeed asks for a trade, anything that comes out of Haynes, Shams and Woj is 100%.
That's new to me. I had no idea that Chauncey was accused of sexual harassment before. Was it even out in the news before or they kept it?
Trail Blazers management could always just pick another coach if they still want sales of their tickets with Dame as the face of their franchise. I think he deserves a better coaching staff and there are so many options out there. Chauncey could stay as an assistant working his way to the hearts of the Portland team if they will hire him for that position.

In one hour, Clippers - Suns game is going to start. The series is 2-1 now. At Clippers, Marc. Morris may not play due to a knee injury. He couldn't play much good in the series so far. So I think that it won't affect the perfomance of the team much also. I think it is time for Clippers to equalize the series. But I feel like their job won't be easy this time. I expect a solid performance from Suns too. But at the end, I believe that Clippers will win the game by less than 10 points.
With Cam Payne back this is really going to be a hard-fought game for the Clippers even at their home.
There's a big difference when the Suns give him more minutes than Chris Paul. They could go back to fast transition plays and dictate the pace of the game.
Clippers can't find their shooting range just yet. I wish they can on the 2nd half to make this game more entertaining.
It's all good looks and not even contested but they can't put it in.
1960  Economy / Speculation / Re: Market Prediction for 2024 on: June 27, 2021, 12:00:40 AM
It's okay.
Other analysts are predicting it higher than your numbers but your's looks a bit real or you are just shy to put higher figures.  Cheesy
As long as it goes $100k in 2024, I may be already happy with it. That will mean a lot and maybe that's also the point when people will recognize that Bitcoin is real and not just some money-making thing of the billionaires out there.
