I just look at their schedule just this time and I didn't saw their first game .
Yes yes they have at least a week of reset until they will go to train again for a week.

With regards to the last conference of PBA, there are some posts that I saw in Facebook saying the word "season-ending Governor's Cup, so I guess this will be the last season for PBA for this year in preparation for the FIBA. Also, the date for the final game of the Governor's Cup is March 17 and playoffs often lasts for 4-5 weeks so the conference will end at least around April-May. That will give the team at least 2 months of preparation.

The Bolts are 3-3 when McDaniels played for them as a replacement for their first import, O'Bryant. Not a good record at least for me, but good enough for him to be picked as the import of the Bolts again.

I guess his performance with his past teams also helped him to be picked because we know how dominant he is when he is in the TNT and NLEX back a few years ago. The Bolts believe that he can still be that guy. He averaged averaged 27.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 2.3 blocks and 1.3 steals on his 6 games. Very impressive and a reliable import.

No other team has a resident import other than Ginebra so don't expect that they will get the same import on 2 consecutive conference.
It might be that Rakocevic has another contract outside PH that's why he didn't play again, but we all know how impressive he is in his stint in the Commissioner's Cup.

McCree is a left handed scorer and played in the NBA for the Jazz "for only 2 minutes". Nevertheless, he played well also overseas, and I also believe that left handed players are harder to be blocked. Let us see how he will play with the Magnolia.

The Governor's Cup will start on the 22nd of January. Just a few days after the Commissioner's Cup, here we are again with another season.
Here are the list of the imports of each team.

Some imports played already in the PBA, some are first timers and we have an import which is our "kababayan" already. We got some former NBA players as well and some played in their own countries. I will not make any prediction since no games had been played yet. Let's see how these imports will have an impact with their respective teams, and I just hope that more audiences will watch every game.

Looks like you lost on both of these bets brother.

Boston - Golden State is just like we are watching a Finals series again. It went to overtime and luckily for them, Boston won. I guess the Celtics can get that win and didn't went to overtime if only Tatum didn't commit those 3 turnovers at the final minutes of the game, but it's good that Brown's three went in thus, tying the game. The Celtics are now 18-5 on their home, tied with the Bucks with best home record in the East while the Warriors are now 5-18 on the road and currently at the 9th spot.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves won against the Raptors on their home. The Raptors lead most of the game until the 10 minute mark of the 4th quarter where the Raptors lead by 14 at the 9:30 mark, but the Timberwolves made a 19-5 run in the last 6 minutes to tie the ball game at near the 4-minute mark and then they stole the win against the Raptors by only 2 points.

I don't know if it's only me but it seems like Naz Reid is better than Gobert. Both of them have pros and cons, but the main reason why I said this is that, Reid can be a center, has good handling skills, can drive the ball and he can shoot threes thus, stretching the defense of the opposing team. As to Gobert, he is a great defender, but he isn't a good shooter in both perimeters and three-point area. Nevertheless, I will still think that the Gobert trade will be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

I looked at Coingecko and then the NFT section and looked the NFT arts that have been made all throughout the NFT hype.

Surprisingly, there are still volume towards the most famous ones like the Bored Ape, Cryptopunks, Mutant Ape and also that Trump Digital Trading Card that launched a few weeks ago. They still have a 24 hr volume meaning there are still people who are buying and selling it.

Now what is the future of NFT. I believe that it will be the same as DeFi where most of the NFT's whether it's an art NFT or game NFT where those who really want to stay will stay even though the hype is over. Those projects who really want to evolve and develop something will continue to develop. The hype is over for NFT's, but there will still be NFT's around for a long time for both arts and games.

Yeah yeah that's what I thought as well.

I guess that's his way of encouraging his teammates if they really want to play with him and with the Mavericks. I mean he is the main player of the team and he already is proving it. What he needs is a bunch of talented role players that will help him get to that title. He already went to Conference Finals last season so it's good to say that he can do it again as long as his teammates step up as well.

It might be too early, but there is nothing wrong with it, right? After all, that move will benefit the whole Mavericks management as they will perform better and at the same time, increase their chances of getting that title.

That's what the Mavericks are lacking right now. A second player who will help him offensively. Last season, he had Brunson and Dinwiddie as the 2nd and 3rd option but now, he only got Dinwiddie and Wood who isn't a prolific scorer (at least in my opinion). They need to step-up or they might get traded.

Yes yes I agree with this one.
It seems like, the big players that we have in the PBA have a long career.

33 years old is considered prime years still, but near to his post-prime years already but nevertheless, I'm thinking that they will let Fajardo stay even though he is old already like what Magnolia did to Reavis and what Ginebra did to Devance. I'm just thinking that at least only this time, they will be loyal to Fajardo just because of how impactful he is with the team and add also the achievements that he got with SMB.

They might trade CJ, but I'm thinking they might make a team around CJ and Fajardo. CJ is only 29 years old and he can contribute to SMB for a long time still.
Now with regards to Ginebra getting JMF, I'm not thinking that this will happen. I mean I don't see any reason why SMB will trade him to Ginebra.

Anong dahilan? Pera.
Wala silang pake kung scam man or hindi basta ang importante ay kumita sila gamit ang kanilang influence. Influencer turned influenza (virus na nakakasama)

Regarding sa liability ng mga streamers na ito, hindi ko lang alam if may magtrtry na magdemanda sa kanila pero as long as may ebidensiya naman ay pupunta sila. Ang tanong na lang is may magdedemanda ba. Sino ang hahabulin nila ngayong nagsi-deletan na ung mga streamers ng posts nila na tungkol sa LELE gold. Buti wala akong kakilala na nahulog sa patibong na ito pero nakakaawa yung mga taong nag invest ng 5 or even 6 digits hoping na kikita sila ng malaki sa laro.

Kakulangan sa financial literacy at kasakiman. Yan ang 2 na dahilan kaya gustong gusto ng mga developers na mag promote ng mga ganitong app dito sa bansa natin.

---

Hindi ko alam if totoo ito dahil hindi pa ako tumitingin sa social media pero ung isang laro na kaparehas rin ng LELE gold ay nag shutdown na rin. Yung Crazy Fishing Games ba yun. Well anyway, dun rin naman patungo yung laro na yun kaya wag na lang tayo mag invest dun .

Sometimes, the best thing to do is to remain silent.
In your case, since you said that they are old already, I guess it would be better if you will just not teach them regarding Bitcoin. They might see it as a negative one like another problem for them or it's a scam for them etc.

I guess it's normal for older people to say that "we are wasting our time" if they don't know what we are doing and that applies to crypto as well. I said it because I also heard that thing to my older relatives and I didn't waste my time teaching it into it as well because I know that they will not be interested into it because they aren't investing at first place.

You really wanted to? Take your time, be patient and just continue teaching them
On the other hand, if you already see that they aren't interested then don't bother teaching it to them anymore.

The Mavericks are building a team around him so he has the power to demand the whole management to be active in trades. He's like Le-GM Version 2.0 now. Kidding .

Anyways, Mavericks are now at the 5th spot despite having a bad start and at the bottom at the start of the season. They have many players to trade with. Hardaway Jr., Bertans, some draft picks. There are some rumors as well that Wood might not get an extension with the Mavericks thus, they might use him as well to get some players.

Either way, Doncic is the one who has a big impact of the team and the role players are performing better now compare to how they performed at the start of the season but if they want to be a playoff contender, they might tweak the roster a bit and get some better role players

You surprised?

They've been doing this for a long time already. They will get young players and when they got old, regardless of their achievement and what they did to the team, they will trade them to another team (specifically in those farm teams) to get younger players. The cycle keeps going on and on and on and the management hasn't been doing anything to stop it.

Ross, Lassiter, Romeo, and Enciso. All of them have impacts to the team especially Ross and Lassiter as they are part of the so-called "Death 5". I didn't surprised that they put the 2 of them in the trading block since they are old already. Romeo is injured in most of his time with SMB and Enciso is the one I'm surprised because he is in the SMB for a short time only, but who knows. It's still only rumors and rumors will stay as rumors until it happen, right? Like you said, they even traded Cabagnot and Santos that has a big achievement towards SMB's success so no surprised for me that they put Ross and Lassiter as well.

Fajardo? As long as he is dominant, they will not trade him. Under the table? There is a high chance that it is happening, but we don't have any evidences and the only thing that we have is theories.

Kakapanood ko lang din kanina sa isang streamer (MyGamerAcademia) na ung mga handlers ata ng WDOMI ang nagdecide na magsurrender sa HOF. Di ibig sabihin nun na lahat ng players na under WDOMI ay magpapaunder na sa HOF. Baka may mga loyal PHA pa rin sa mga yun at either lilipat sa server na hawak pa rin ng PH players (G's) or magiging rebelde na lang sila sa kanilang server kung asaan man sila ngayon. No idea ako sa Sustainers.

Wala ganun talaga, may mananalo at may matatalo. Ang isipin na lang ay paano na ang Asia server ngayon na wala na silang kaaway since disband na ang PHA.

May mga naiwang PHA pa rin naman na nasa ibat ibang server at maglalaro pa rin siguro ang mga G's pero in terms of spending sa laro, pakiramdam ko ay mag lalay-low na rin sila dahil wala nang sense kumaskas if di mo rin kaya mga kalaban. Kung nakuha ng PHA si Blank, baka hindi ito mangyayari.

Mejo nakakalungkot nga dahil natalo na ang PHA at disbanded na sila pero di ibig sabihin na wala nang kaaway ang HOF. May mga PH players pa rin na against sa HOF sa ibat ibang servers.

If you have many customers at your store then I guess it's a good try to accept and promote Bitcoin.

While I'm posting my opinion, something came out of my mind regarding this one. What if you try and make a quick survey with regards to Bitcoin first to know which of your customers have knowledge about Bitcoin? I mean if they will buy, give a survey paper for them that will answer some simple questions that is related to Bitcoin.

I'm not a businessman, but promote your products more than Bitcoin. With the survey that I said, you will know which of your customers know Bitcoin and which are not. From there, you might ask some question them with regards to Bitcoin and that's another way of promoting it. If you want, maybe just try and ask each and every customer you have if they know something about Bitcoin .

Give it a try to accept Bitcoin. You aren't paying anything by making a setup of it. Maybe there are some of your customers who are willing to pay Bitcoin to you.

Why they aren't paying participants with tokens?
Because they don't want it to in the first place.

What do you think? If you participated in an airdrop campaign, you will get the tokens automatically? It doesn't work that way unfortunately. At first place, most if not some of the projects who are launching an airdrop campaign doesn't want to pay those bounty hunters their tokens because they don't want it to.

You're working hard?
It seems like you are working very hard but aren't being paid at all.

There is a problem with you. You are working hard, spending too much time in promoting these scam campaigns and yet you aren't paid at all? Maybe it's time for you to think another way to earn money and don't rely on airdrop campaigns only. I wonder why you posted this kind of thread? Are you depending on airdrop campaigns too much?

I don't know if "betting on a team with a higher odds" in sports betting can be considered as "betting against the public" because I tried betting against what the others are thinking to win in a basketball game (NBA in particular).

Tried it many times, and I don't recommend doing it even though the odds are very attractive. There are times that you will win sure, but most of the time, I end up losing my money because of betting against what others are thinking to win. I will change my strategy when I'm betting in sports games and I will not recommend using this "betting against the public" strategy.

There are 2 kinds of people who will fall into this kind of trap. The newbie ones and the greedy ones.

Newbie is understandable because they don't know what they are doing in crypto. The problem with them though is that, most of the newbies are invest first before learning which is wrong. I included greedy ones because I guess they're the ones who will fall into this kind of trap because they think that they will get money for free and knowing that it's a huge amount, they really will fall.

Dream that becomes a reality isn't it?

In reality, there is no people or person who will just give you money for free. In this cruel world, we need to work hard in order for us to have money. We need to work smart for us to get money. No dumb people will just give money for free especially if it's a stranger. If you encounter this kind of thing, just avoid and don't let your greediness eat you.

I agree with this.

People always want something in return. It's a shame, but we can't blame them for their decisions especially those newbie ones. Like I'm always saying, the best teacher right now is experience. Let them experience it and they will realize what's right and what's wrong. What's scam and what's not. Experiencing them to fall into traps and scam will change them and their way of thinking.

A story that I've heard so many times when I was a kid. A short story that was being told to us by our teachers back when we are still young.
Who would've know that this short story that I've heard so many times already can be a big help when it comes to investing .

I just started trading yesterday and so far I'm not at a loss, but I barely got some profit. Well, I'm a newbie in trading that's why. I'm teaching myself how to be patient. I'm teaching myself how not to be greedy.

There is no easy money in investing. I just saw a play and earn application that has a gambling feature that went shutdown and of course, they don't know who the developers are. Greedy people who thought that they will earn money thru that game invested many hoping to earn more money, but it didn't happen. Greediness in humanity is already there and there's no way we can remove it. The only thing that we can do is to teach ourselves how not to be greedy thru discipline.

Not even in the top 5 . Quite surprising TBH that the Nuggets aren't even in the top 5 base on what is on the website that you shared. They are at the 7th and surprisingly, the Clippers are above them. I'm not surprised with the Phoenix Suns though since many are expecting that they will be a title contender with their current roster.

In order for a team to win a title, they must be healthy all throughout the playoffs. Let's see how will the Nuggets play after the all-star next month. We might see them maintain the top spot or we might see them play very awful. No surprised for me that the Celtics are the favorites right now to win a title after how they clawed back last season, getting the top 2 spot and went into NBA Finals. They might do it again, but now with a different coach.

In the last 3 seasons, Denver has been a very good playoff team. The problem with them at that time is that, it's either they faced a strong team or injuries.

In the bubble, I guess it's reasonable that they've lost to the Lakers at that time which they won the title. In the last 2 seasons, Denver lost because of injuries. Murray got injured and didn't play and Porter Jr. hasn't been a big help for the team as well. It was all Jokic. At that time, it was like, we are seeing Lebron when he is carrying the Cavaliers all by himself.

Now this season, they are at the top spot and all of their key players are healthy and at the same time, they have a deep bench as well. KCP, Hyland, Gordon, Brown, and Jordan as their 2nd big. If their key players will not be injured all throughout the whole regular season, I believe they will play better than what they performed 2 years ago. We might see them going to the Conference Finals at least but like you said, the Western Conference is full of really good teams and the battle is fierce.

Just yesterday, I just lost a small amount of money betting into sports.
I felt nothing about that loss. Why?

It all comes to self control and discipline. If you think that the money you put into gambling has a high chance that it will be gone then you will not feel anything about it. After all, it all comes to how disciplined you are and maybe how emotionless you are .

How do I handle my losses? It's very simple. Whenever I loss to my bets in gambling, I simply play online games while my disappointment towards it is gone. Some gamblers are doing bad things whenever they lost money in gambling, but not for me. I'm just thinking from the start that the money I put has a large chance that will be gone and I just accept it. I only gamble to add some excitement while watching sports games.
