I encounter a post yesterday when browsing on my timeline that since Kyrie Irving return and play alongside Kevin Durant, they are 0-3 now when they combined for 70+ points (will do some verification later on manually).  What happened? Instead of an automatic win or higher chance to get the win on that game when these 2 explode, that's not what happened. They also need a boost from their bench.

Looks like it's now happening, the possible worst-case scenario by the so-called analysts, where their teammates just allow Durant and Irving to do the scoring even though there are opportunities for other teammates to do it instead. There's no ball rotation in most of the cases resulting in teams easily reading where the ball will end.

However, the Nets really need that explosiveness of Durant and Irving, no doubt about that. Their teammates might just rely on and put their trust in them so it's fine not to be associated always during their offensive phase.

Honestly, even NBA experts, analysts,s, and professionals will have a hard time analyzing who will be the NBA champion this season. The ball is round and you can "expect the unexpected" like what happened last season where only a few think that Phoenix Suns and Milwaukee Bucks will meet in the Finals.

What responses you will read here is more on self-preferences, self-opinions, and the most reasonable, being a fan of that team.

Anyways, to give you some input, I've put some bets on Grrilizies @17 and on my long-time Favorite team in the league, the Dallas Mavericks @25, as always every year, even at their worst. See what I'm trying to say here? These teams are not Finals-bound teams every season but I disregard those top teams because that's my own preference.

Bottom line, I doubt our picks can help you decide on which team you have to bet on. You have to choose on your own based only on your preferences.

There are lots of "what if" to consider and we don't know what will happen in the future. One thing is for sure, both BTC and LTC have proven to remain well-built, strong, and backed by a large community.

In terms of investment, it should be you to manage it and adjust with the situation instead of those coins should adjust for you.

For at least on the safe side, consider investing in both. As you move forward, you can now make your own conclusion on what to do.

Exchange owners, crypto-enthusiast personalities that are known for long and etc.

Anyways, no need to follow those crypto-influencers but won't harm though. I doubt you can learn from those.

Care to share what's the purpose? We might give you another good choice based on what you need.

San Antonio Spurs in order to have a great advantage over the Lakers should beat the Portland Trail Blazers twice. The remaining games will be tough for them so there should be no room for being defeated by Blazers in their next two games.

Lakers, on the other hand, has only against Pelicans which I think they can handle much. Their remaining games after that are those who are top teams in the Western Conferences like Phoenix Suns, Denver Nuggets, and Golden State Warriors. If LeBron James and Anthony Davis will play tonight and in the following games, a "miracle" is possible but that was a tough odds to pass on.

Since there's an anticipation of a trilogy between Canelo and GGG, it seems Bivol and Murata have an attempt to spoil it. Obviously, these two want to win.

However, on a much technical, Bivol has the chance to upset Canelo while on the other hand, I really can't see how Murata will be able to defeat GGG. I also said before that Murata's only advantage is the fight will be held in front of his fellow countrymen and we know how fans there show support to their representative in every home match.

Well then, it's just about a few days and around waiting and we will now witness the result of this fight.

The moment this fight become official a few days ago, there are attempts from others to create a thread but remembered there was a thread before that got locked. I think we should focus on that thread and lock this. No need for moderators' action since this is just a small issue.

Back to topic, age is really not a factor for Nonito Donaire. He still has that KnockOut power and his punch can give heavy damage. He prove it in his previous fights after being defeated by Inoue in which both of those fights ended up in a 4th Round Knockout. An impressive win for a 39 years old boxer and claimed the record of the oldest boxer to be a champion (WBA).

However, Inoue is also improved. There is a plan of moving up weight but seems there are lots to settle first at 117 lbs before going up.

And that's it, Meralco Bolts wins the series via 94-81 against Magnolia Hotshots and will be back in the Finals of the Governors Cup for a rematch with Brgy. Ginebra. The memories of the 2019 Governors Cup Finals are one of the moments that Meralco won't surely forget. Meralco in the Finals will now erase some speculations that there will be "bigayan" in the Finals because the "Manila Clasico" is the rivalry of the same company.

Expecting odds for Game 1 will be close because of the dominance that Meralco has shown against the Top Seed Magnolia in the Semis.

Congrats to all bettors. Didn't able to place my bet because of Friday Madness lol.

Regardless of who will win, the Finals will be exciting. There might just be some speculation that if it's against a sister team, there might be a "bigayan" moment. Even it does, we can expect that to happen in Game 4 or 5. But I know, we will witness a great action between these two teams.

In the meantime, let's speculate after the match between Meralco and Magnolia. It's a do-or-die game and we will now see who will be the winner of the series later tonight.

Still observing what my bet should be. Game-time decision.

If ever the Lakers got into the playoffs and pass the play-in, they will probably face the Phoenix Suns in the First Round.

We might see a replay of their embarrassing loss like what happened last year. They don't have an answer against the dominance of the Phoenix Suns. In other words, it might be a sweep, and the Lakers, especially LeBron will be again facing some negative comments adding to his portfolio of 0-4 First Round Playoffs exit.

The Lakers just have to be ready next season. It's fine to lose. They did their best after all.

I just wondered, that "what if" WBA didn't allow Casimero to fight because of his lawsuit, is that a reason to strip the title from Casimero? Referring to last time, it's only the health issue that Casimero is facing that will act as a primary reason for having the WBA title stripped since it makes sense that why hold the title if he's not 100% healthy.

But since this is a lawsuit, even the fight will be canceled, should not be a reason for WBA to get the title to WBA. But it's now taking too long for a title defense and maybe taking back the title to Casimero is possible.

What do you think, guys?

It's worth noting. The partnership is not just about boosting their respective business and everything else that they will be benefited from. I'm not aware of that but since they extend their hands to the charity, that was a great action made by them.

It seems also that Stake isn't finished and more partnerships will be established soon.

With that, I'm expecting more people to be involved on Stake.

Regardless of the venue, I mentioned that Naoya Inoue might not allow to experience his struggle again during their first fight. He is surely much improved here and will do his very best to prove that he's the King of 117-118 lbs.

Nonito Donaire surely knows that very well that's why I like to put my trust in him finally, he can win this time even he will be the underdog.

A sweet TKO is a must but knowing the resistance of Inoue, that was hard to do. Inoue is also backed up by venue fans making it more difficult to fight.

Justin Brownlee takes that Game 3 loss as an inspiration to have that big production in Game 4. He likes to redeem what happens to a distracted L.A Tenorio last game on which instead of blaming game, they move forward instead.

47 points are something not usual for an import and Brownlee, even now in his veteran period, can still produce that big numbers. He will surely remember in the league when he retires from playing basketball. Coach Tim Cone also said that in an interview after that Game 4 win.

Back to Magnolia and Meralco, they are now in the deciding game. I like to see a Manila Clasico although I also like to see different companies to play in the Finals. Regardless, may the best team win.

The thread was re-opened because it's now official bro. It was on the headline. The fight is going to happen at 100% and the date is June 7. The venue is the same where they fought for the 1st time in the finals of the World Boxing Super Series in Saitama Arena.

I'm seeing a much improved Naoya Inoue here. He won't allow repeating what happened in their first fight where he was badly injured for the first time in his career and was sent to the hospital right away after the fight. I'm sure Donaire was already anticipating that he will face a much improved Japanese monster on their second meetup.

Donaire is known for being a counter-puncher. He will surely improve and enhanced it and his 2 previosly winning fights is the best training he did in preparation for this fight. It's a good achievement and recognition if he will beat Inoue this time.

Dallas Mavericks already with 82 points against 56 points Los Angeles Lakers and it's just halftime. The latter is playing without their key starters, especially LeBron James. I don't see a bounce-back will happen, although has a chance, and we can count this game already as losing to the Lakers.

Luka Donciic only playing at 18 minutes so far but already have 25 points big production.

With that possible lose tonight for the Lakers, they are now much closer to being eliminated from the play-in tournament. They will fall to 31-44, same with the San Antonio Spurs which is currently on a hot 4-game winning streak, and since GB matters, they might end up in the 11th spot.

I did some research just a few days ago to somehow shared some updates here regarding that case but found no one.

a) as usual in the Philippines, cases are pending for long or maybe they are waiting after Casimero's fight with Butler
b) the case is now being solved without the media presence

Either way, should not be a form of distraction for Casimero, especially if they think the case doesn't have sufficiently strong evidence and is mainly just a pure accusation. We don't know behind though.

There is news bro related to the expected trilogy fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin that's why it become a talk of the town.

Of course, not unless these two will win their upcoming fight, that's the only time the negotiation will start. The speculated month of the bout is around September. Before Canelo already ends their chapter saying he's not interested with GGG but things have changed and he now becomes open for a Part III of their fight.

For now, we can't expect any progress. We should wait first to settle theose upcoming fights of these two.

What can you say about LA Tenorio's last play guys?

He is known to be a buzzer-beater guy and truly aware of how much time is left. Downed by 3, 7 seconds remaining, no timeout, inbound from the other courtside, still, he really push for a 2-point play. It needs at least 4-5 seconds to bring down the ball and what if there's a defense, it will extend the time of handling.

The bottom line is you can't expect another ball possession that's why you have to go for the 3 points to seal the win.

He really should as the Nets really have the patience to understand his point of view from the beginning. It's not just with the vaccine issue but there are many times Kyrie Irving hits with tantrums and the Nets just allow him to find his inner self lol.

Kyrie should know the drill and gives his best for the Nets to always win. He should be thankful that he was treated nicely even he's the source of the problem.

Now that everything now settled, at least (I hope), expecting Nets to be more competitive in the play-in tournament.
