After the big trade, I wonder how James Harden is going to perform as of his first game with 76ers. Maybe we can see him in the starting five tonight against Thunder. Currently, Thunder are one of the miserable teams and I don't expect them to compete with 76ers much. If Harden gets accustomed to his new team quickly, I will be eyeing 76ers in the playoffs too. Maybe they don't seem to be a big candidate for the title but they can still achieve a good success this season.

Well, Harden himself asked for the trade so I have no doubt that James Harden will have a hard time adjusting with 76ers, I mean, Harden is smart and for sure he knows what he's doing and a yes Embiid was already there but I also do think that Harden will be a good additional asset to the team.
Harden didn't play today against the OKC and he ain't either expected to show tomorrow against the Cavaliers, I think there's some formalities that he need to attend first and practice with the 76ers before playing the actual live games. Just my thought though Smiley

If both stars are willing to learn from one another,

Remember how Drexler and Olajuwon build a good foundation for the Houston before, if MJ didn't comeback they might have a grand-slam during those years.

If Embiid is more on the title chase, he might learn more from Harden. Sixers will surely benefit with this trade if they will maximize
Harden's talent.

I suppose they will do just fine, there's no history that Embiid has a narrow mind to take Harden for granted. Embiid + Harden tandem will be a threat in the league now and currently the 76ers sits on the 5th spot on the East but this won't be long. These two players will lead the 76ers to the playoffs, I have no doubt about it.

Bob is indeed one of the good Promoters "in the eyes of the Fighters" but it is not for some people.
I quite agree to say that Bob protects his Dairy Cows because this is quite true and there have been several times he has done this.
It doesn't matter what I think Inoue should be one of his opponents because it's really not funny if it doesn't happen especially if he does win against Butller

For Bob, boxing is business, so he will make sure that his investment will give him a profit, and he will not put his fighter at risk of losing because it will lose the value of his boxer and he won't be making a lot of money from a boxer. Just for example, if Inoue fight Casimero and Inoue lost the fight, that is a big lose for Arum as Inoue being a pound for pound fighter will lose his belts and will not be a champion.

Indeed, he surely knows what to do to make money in this industry with minimal risk involved and won't likely pursue any fights that won't be any good for him especially if it's Inoue or one of his best cash cows, but for now Bob is ain't interested about Casimero yet. So, Casimero should really secure this fight against Butler if he really wants Inoue to fight him. In that way, he has more chance rather than just talking trash to provoke the other side.
this is quite reasonable because indeed he always puts his boxers in something safe and indeed when indeed if inoue plays with casimero then this will be a gamble that will determine the fate of bob and the boxers he makes cash cows.
I think he is being too careful but indeed this might be a pretty good move for him because indeed Casimero is not an opponent that Inoue can really fight even though Inoue is quite strong but Casimero is above him and indeed Bob certainly predicts this

It is kind of natural for the promoters to make sure that their best boxers aren't in the disadvantage side especially when the money deal is not that reasonable for them. Not just Bob Arum but others as well do this kind of things because business is business. For now, Casimero is the one who needs Inoue to him to of course benefit and be more known in the industry but as I said, Bob ain't interested and surely had other plans for Inoue.
In that same note, Casimero should make this fight against Butler in his favor if he is that passionate to make Inoue as a stepping stone for his career because if indeed Casimero will upset Butler then Bob Arum can't avoid anymore and make Inoue fight Casimero.

I think that there's no concrete evidence about it yet because the word used is "looks like" and if ever it is indeed March or April then I think by now they've posted about it already because it's only a few weeks away.

I think there's something to this news. I could find more sites that claim the fight is going to happen on a later date.
http://fightnights.com/event-3236

Hopefully that date is fixed but just like you said, there's no solid information yet about the exact date of this fight. The Japanese government are still restricting these kind of events that will certainly gather large crowd, as of now, they're slowly getting back to normal so I suppose we will get some announcement or updates few weeks from now.
2225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 11, 2022, 07:28:03 AM
I mean, Casimero still have those speed and strength needed to take down Butler but Casimero's enemy is himself now. Aside from that, IMO Casimero needs a bariatricians or nutritionist to watch him while his training for the fight.

The strength maybe but the speed? I think he is not fast enough, he could not even catch Rigo.  Smiley

I see Casimero successful because of his great timing in the ring, if he maintains his coolness and worth smarter, then for sure he will win the fight, and who knows he can score a knockout that would make people be interested more in him again.

And why would Casimero chase Rigo for his running antics? Lol.
Rigo was surely fast enough but only to outrun Casimero and that's the only thing he can boast because he can't keep up with Casimero if they were to fight very closely, toe-to-toe. He's too obvious that he only wants the money and not to entertain people especially his fans. From that day forth, Rigo was lost his fans from his shameful behaviour.
2226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 10, 2022, 02:44:15 PM
For me, no need for hard training as I'm sure there's no problem with his strength and body conditioning. His stamina is surely still on top and his quickness and speed are still the same. The problem lies within his inner body that he needs to work on.

You are correct, the condition is viral and can come back anytime. There's no 100% treatment but rather there's a 100% chance to avoid that.

So it's good to train hard, but he should now when to slow down. His trainer knows him best, so maybe putting in the hard work early, conditioning and then sit up and come up with a good plan.

Yes, it's viral so it come manifest itself again.
Their trainer knows the best for their boxer so technically, there's nothing to worry about here its just that Casimero should fully commit on this if he wants to win against Butler because no matter how much your training is, if the boxer itself didn't participate then its useless. Many are waiting for this fight, let's wish both boxer a good health as they inch closer to face each other, thing are getting more exciting seriously.
I was under the impression that a trainer is just a trainer. Technically he could be involved in many times, but I doubt that diet could be one of them. Again, it goes down to the time that Casimero might have issues with his weight. And as we get older it will be hard to maintain such a weight. And we all know that he history of stomach virus that can affect on how he put food in his body. So hopefully the weight will not be an big hindrance for him in this fight.

Yes, trainer comes with different job description and it usually depends to the needs of his trainee. As for Casimero's case, his trainer should observe more about Casimero's health given that he's just been hospitalized 2 months ago, I mean, Casimero still have those speed and strength needed to take down Butler but Casimero's enemy is himself now. Aside from that, IMO Casimero needs a bariatricians or nutritionist to watch him while his training for the fight.

I agree with what you said. Going to the playoffs is not difficult, there are playoff level players in this team. But they will be eliminated after 1 or 2 rounds. We all know that they will not be successful in this situation Cheesy
There has been talk of Josh Richardson joining the Lakers. It can be useful for the team, he's playing with good statistics this season Smiley

A healthy Davis and Lebron play different during playoffs sir. Playoffs is a game 7 series compared to a regular season matches which didn't let players adjust for there mistake for a rematch game. Lebron is a genius in terms of adjusting and knowing the weakness of the enemy team assuming all his team mates is very healthy. I still believe that Lakers will do a comeback play this year, Just remove the hindrance player and improve the bench scrore because that's there current weakness whenever davis and lebron is already feeling the fatigue. Trading Kuzma for westbrook is really a very bad decision.  Undecided
I would have to agree that getting Westbrook didn't blend well with Lebron and AD, it's obvious by now that there is no chemistry and Westbrook play as Lakers is a far cry when he was in Washington. Kuzma though is doing good in Wizards uniform already so there is no argument about it. Maybe letting go of Caruso as well is another bad decision from the Lakers.

Westbrook in Lakers uniform was really far from expectations, it's really clear for me as I watched him every game that WB don't want to adapt nor adjust that's why he can't blend well with others especially with LBJ and AD.

Kuzma though is doing good in Wizards uniform already so there is no argument about it. Maybe letting go of Caruso as well is another bad decision from the Lakers.

I couldn't agree more, including Caruso to the trade was really a bad decision. The man certainly got skills and contributes well in the team. As for Kuzma, he needs to be traded in other team in-order to grow and develop his skills more. I mean just look at the kid now at the Wizards, he really improved well.
2228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: February 09, 2022, 05:10:32 PM

I only know that he is calling either Inoue or Donaire, but he was not given a chance to get the fight so he keeps his trash-talking technique but it seems not effective. If he will go up, he won't be a champion anymore so probably he will become a mandatory fighter if he will be in a good ranking.

The problem is he's been calling the champs on the same division but they are not responding to his expectation, what would happen to the sport if champions are afraid to fight his fellow champion and will just use an excuse to justify their refusal to fight. Casimero deserves a chance, they cannot say that they will not fight him because he trash talk a lot and they got insulted, that's so soft of them.

Inoue though did respond right? but as we have discussed a few pages back, still up to his promoter Bob Arum. And as we have said, Arum has the history of protecting his fighters specially his cash cow.

But most likely if he win against Butler, it's just a matter of time either Inoue or his fellow Pinoy Donaire will be next. That is the only fight we wanted to see in this division.
Bob is indeed one of the good Promoters "in the eyes of the Fighters" but it is not for some people.
I quite agree to say that Bob protects his Dairy Cows because this is quite true and there have been several times he has done this.

2229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: February 09, 2022, 03:06:08 PM

But with the current version of Canelo? and then GGG maybe fading as he is in 40's? I think Canelo should go for him and proved once and for all that he beat GGG fair and square. But we goes on the record saying that he is no longer interested so that is a open book for us boxing fans. Canelo though will end as of the best boxers of our era and GGG on the top 3 of the best middleweights of all time.

Canelo is like the best in his generation now, but there's one guy that he really cannot dominate in the ring, and that is GGG. Maybe the reason why he is not fighting him anymore is because he knows himself that he is at a risk of losing the fight, just my personal thoughts though, don't take it seriously.
Yeah, that's why when both of them have retired, there could be a lot of arguments about that 3rd fight not happening. But no one can argue that they are the best of their division and Canelo upping up by moving in weight and becoming the first Mexican to become a 5th belt champion.

Going back to the fight, there are still no news of he schedule, but hoping that at least it will happen in the second quarter of this year as Japan is easing on their travel ban.

There's no exact date but it says in the article below that the fight is rescheduled for March/April.

Golovkin vs. Murata To Be Rescheduled March/April, Says Hearn

Let's hope that the fight will happen and will not be rescheduled again, we have to see GGG fight this year so he will not be stagnant for a long period, and since this is a unification fight, we should not miss this.

I'm also rooting that GGG vs Murata will happen before June because this fight has been postponed for 2 months now and still no solid updates about it yet. It is not also good for GGG as he didn't already fought for more than a year now since his fight against Kamil.

“Gennadiy Golovkin was to fight Murata in December. It looks like it's going to be rescheduled for March or April,” Hearn told IFL.

I think that there's no concrete evidence about it yet because the word used is "looks like" and if ever it is indeed March or April then I think by now they've posted about it already because it's only a few weeks away.

Riding with the Grizzlies -7.5 once more, they took down the Clippers in their last meeting and won by 12 points plus the Clippers continue to struggle due to missing key players.

I also have the Sixers to win against the Suns as they're on a back to back and on top of that it's their third game in the last four days even though the Suns have one of the best road records at the moment I feel like they're due for another loss.



Congratulations mate! -7.5 spread was surely covered as they beat the Clippers again today with a blowout. Final score: MEM 135-109 LAC

The Clippers already lost 2 consecutive games and still struggling without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. On the other hand, Ja Morant continued to surprise the fans game after game and today he contributed 30 points with 7 rebs, followed by Jackson Jr who also made 26 points with 11 rebounds. Seems that the top 7 teams on the West are smiling for having a win streak.
2231  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are trading platforms useful? on: February 06, 2022, 04:54:40 PM
Trading currencies has never been as fun and accessible as currently. in contrast to before, once you required a broker to trade currencies, on-line trading platforms enable you to try and do it by yourself. Not solely that, the trading platforms modify you to become a stronger merchandiser.

Online trading really helps the trader to develop it own personal skills to trade. You can fall many times though because you are trying to develop yourself but you will rise with time because you are making the mistake by yourself and understand yourself better. Every aspect of online trading is about to develop the trader and emotional stand also.

Nowadays that everything can almost be done online, educating ourselves is not gonna be hard anymore, and with our experience in trading and continued learning, we will eventually improve as a trader. It will not be an overnight success, but as we keep this journey, nothing is impossible, we will succeed over time and trading would be easier compared to the early stage of our journey.

You know what, it's all in our hands, and it depends on how we work to improve ourselves.

Now there are more and more coins and making the competition very tight, coins that already have a strong marketcap such as ETH, BNB or others will of course continue to innovate to maintain their position while newcomers will continue to be the best, and I think many coins will threaten ETH's position and some of those coins for example TRON and Fantom.
Only time could tell, while the new coins are trying to develop to surpass the success of the top coins like BNB and ETH, let us not forget that these coins are also being developed to remain at the top and to even grow their value in the future.

I'm not saying that no coin could beat ETH because we never know what would happen in the future and if we search enough and being lucky at the same time, who knows we can hit the jackpot by making a fortune investing in new coins, but as I said, we never know the future of a certain coin, so it's hard to guess.
2233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: February 06, 2022, 03:14:40 PM

As I watched the fight, Thurman clearly had the higher hand and indeed he really gave his fans a good fight and won via unanimous decision since he was inactive for nearly 3 years after he lost from the Philippine champ. What a comeback! He started slow but I don't think that he's having some ring rust on the ring as he clearly dominates almost every round. Gotta give some credits for Barrios as he also proved himself that he can keep up to the former champion.

Keith's next opponent? There's no rumors or possible match-up yet as of this time but this is already a sign that he's really back!
Barrios' mistake was that he seemed to be waiting for momentum on the other hand, Thurman was quite aggressive, especially starting from round 3, Thurman had started to attack sporadically to the Barrios area. with a jab from Barrios.
Of the many rounds I will probably see round 8, round 11 and the last round because this is a pretty exciting round for me.

Congratulations to Thurman, Congratulations to all of us who are by Thurman's side. I'm getting pretty big profit now with this win Smiley

Congrats on the win, if you notice, Thurman's weakness was again displayed in the fight, that body of him is still weak and he took out his mouth fist so he would breathe easily, the same scenario with Pacman's fight when he got hit on the body. A great return and I hope he will be more active and will be more better in the next fight.

There's a reason why Binance bought Coinmarketcap at $400 million, that's because of its popularity and not only on its design.
So it's going to be a long shot for the site you are talking to kill Coinmarketcap as it's own by a big company now, and their platform are just expanding.

Anyone here knows the full story on why coach Tab was fired or why he stepped down?

As per the articles I read, he stepped down because he wants to focus his coaching on the Ateneo Blue Eagles, but we never know what's happening inside, there must be a deeper reason than that as in the first place, he was hired to coach the Gilas Pilipinas and his coaching job with Ateneo just came after.


The safest way to and answer is to have a good reason with the same job to fill in. We never know what's the real reason is why coach Tab steps down and gives up the spot. We are all speculating and relying on what the news provides us. As of now, we should all focus on how coach Chot will handle the National. It's the country's pride whoever represents the team also represents our flag.


Enough with that issue, the SBP has already decided and they take coach Chot as the new coach, maybe his successful return really helped him to convince that he is the best option if coach Tab will step down. Let's just support whoever they choose to coach the team, for sure Coach Chot can handle the job as he has done this before.
2236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 06, 2022, 09:41:56 AM

A win for the Clippers with this trade. They are filled with defensive players but no means to attack without PG13 and Kawhi. They need these guys badly to increase their shooting range and spread the floor. Giving up Bledsoe is the best option. Suddenly made me wonder what the Trail Blazers are trying to achieve in this trade.

Forget about the Blazers, maybe they have already accepted their destiny that they will not gonna make it this season. I expect that more trades will be happening from this team in the next trade deadline, maybe Lillard will not stay for long as he's been rumored that they will not gonna stay or will be traded to other teams, a new team for Lillard is a great opportunity for him to maybe play in a bigger stage like the ECF or WCF, or best is in the NBA Finals.

I couldn't watch those games, but... with the return of AD I believe the Lakers improved a lot.
Anthony Davis got 17 rebounds and Monk scored 29 points!
I believe that if the Lakers continue with this performance, I think they can go to the playoffs easily!
But first we will need to analyze whether they will maintain this consistency.


It was also due to the return of Lebron James, it's his first game after missing some games and he really showed his leadership in this game. Though they could not dominate the Knicks, what's important is they won during the crucial time in the OT and that's what they need to maintain and put do some consistency as they'll have more close games in the future for sure.
2238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Thurman vs Barrios - Feb 5 on: February 06, 2022, 08:13:59 AM
Thurman is excited to be back and he walks the talk put up a great fight, there was one round where he took out his mouthpiece to get more air and that was when Barrios hit him with a huge body punch but Thurman has good footwork and he also admits that Barrios has a lot of bad moves and he is short of exploring it, he'll have a good chance fighting Ugas, but will have a hard time-fighting Spence or Crawford but congrats to the One Time Thurman, he did it this time.

That was an impressive win by Thurman, he is not in his 100% condition but his boxing skills are still way superb compared to Barrios, good for him and he is back, after a loss against Pacman, I think Thurman is back and ready to make some noise in the welterweight division.

Who would be his next opponent?

The news affects the trading principles so much that it will change the previous trading plans, fake news circulating for the purpose of creating panic to bring down market prices, but I agree that you have to have solid principles so you don't get influenced by external factors.
The influence of the latest news for the condition of cryptocurrencies has existed all this time so what needs to be seen is where the news source itself comes from so that everyone can judge whether the news is true or not, because there is a lot of Fud news that is completely unimportant to respond to.
Just ignore the FUD, it's just normal when we are entering the bear market, you know who are spreading FUD, it's the same people who spread the hype and they are the whales who are good at manipulating the market, so we should play their game too.

When the market is down then buying coins at a cheap price is a strategy that I do too and hold on to it until the price goes up again. To be honest I can't even predict exactly when the market will go up again as said but that's everyone's hope here. Buying coins at a low price means that as traders we have to be patient to wait for the crypto market to recover because sometimes many can't wait for it and panic when the crypto market goes down, selling them and making the crypto market even more chaotic. Don't be like that because apart from harming yourself, it can also have a big impact on the crypto market and it will take longer to recover.

No one can predict the market. But if you are a believer of bitcoin market, you know when it goes down, it will go up again. It it is not in forever in the downward movement. So once it is in the bearish position, if you have extra funds, the smart move is to buy more. That is, if your instincts is saying you need to buy. Otherwise, don't. Because your head will get crazy if things are not according to your expectations. As we surpassed the 40k level, more and more people are now gaining their confidence again towards btc.

There's what we called a cycle and there's also the volatility of the market, so we should know how to make the right decision and benefit from its volatility. We should not only wait for the bull run, we have to wait for the bear season as well, so stocking up with some cryptos that has a great potential of a good run will be done at the right time.

I guess at the moment, we are still at the buy zone.
