Same, I had a hard time picking but in the end, I choose Phoenix Suns. So, I am going the other way with -3.5.

Congratulations, you made the right choice there mate! As for me, I didn't bet on the games today because it was a really hard for me choosing who would win between the Mavericks against the Suns, both teams are on a win streak and fortunately my decision was right because I was about to bet on the Mavericks.
Luka as expected led the team and the man almost had a triple double tho, but Booker and CP3 on the other hand answered every attacks that the Mavericks made and their rotation was quite well that helped them secure the win.

^^ It was indeed good to see the Bulls stopping their 4 game losing streak. There are games in that 4 game that they could have won the game if now for late meltdown and defense mental lapses.

But not in this game, they go and focus on this game because they know that their top seed is on the line here. And then they have a good player who come up big in Dosunmu who has the most minutes by any Bulls and score 18 big points.

Without Lavine they won, congrats to the team and the players who lead the win,  Vucevic had 24 while DeRozan had 30. At least now they are back to start winning again, I hope Lavine will be back soon so they'll have a complete and healthy lifestyle.

DeRozan and Vucevic are once a leader back when they are both with their previous teams.

They can handle pressures and capable of bringing the hypes to lift the entire team. Now they just show it in Chicago
they both have huge contributions.

Good to see that they are now start winning game and personally I'm going to expect a good winning streak even
Lavine still resting..

DeRozan and Vucevic played well and led the team to secure it in their favor, tho Lavine is still unavailable, they still have the means to win despite lacking one of their keyplayers. And they indeed bounced back with an impressive figures and almost all of them made a double figures in the game, The Bulls roster is really contributing well and they've proved again that they deserve the #1 spot in the ECF.

How about that for the Lakers to win against a Jazz team that is on the top of offensive and defensive statistics.
Lakers found their new baby. His name is Stanley Johnson. Who the hell is that guy?!  Grin 2015 1st Round pick number 8. He is a former Raptors who averages just 4-5 points per game but in this game against the Jazz he shine the most at the fourth quarter of the game. The hustle to pick up the rebound against Gobert, Shocked to shoot perimeters while none is trying to defend him, and just doing the right thing. Avoiding errors could always enhance the chance to win the game and they did.

Frankly, the Lakers in todays game was impressive because as for me, I also didn't expect the Lakers to win this game against the tough Jazz due to their inconsistency and lack of chemistry which we didn't see it today and it's good to see them striving. Westbrook on the other hand, is slowly getting his play some improvements but it's a bit premature to say that they already improved as we need to see if the Lakers will be consistent in the upcoming games.
Stanley Johnson, the name's a bit new for me to hear but gotta give some good credits to this kid for his performance since he did really shined and led the Lakers to win.

^^ I might tail you on this one, when the Lakers is against a team that is on top or at least has a better winning record, they usually lose the game.

So I agree with this bet, no need to overcomplicate things, maybe our instinct or at least some data that can really help us to beat against the Lakers vs the Jazz.

This is their first meeting this season if I'm not mistaken, so it's hard to predict on who will win, but as like what you are saying, I also see that the Lakers have some trouble with their chemistry, so a full force Utah Jazz is too strong for them, might be another blowout win by the Jazz.

The Jazz is a well-rounded team consisting of both veterans and young players who have a natural feel to the game. They have developed their chemistry better compared to the line-up of Lakers. While the latter team may consist of veteran all-star players, their chemistry seems to fell short as they struggle to connect their plays and naturally create openings for other players to capitalize on.

Unfortunately, Westbrook has been taking too many shots that can also be considered questionable. Most people have bashed and criticized his play but I do think that he will be able to find his sweet spot once he develops the chemistry more with his team.

The question is, will the Lakers willing to wait for that time to come? Their season has already been compromised because they weren't playing as expected, they don't seem to look like a championship despite their line up is very impressive on paper.

If they will make a decision to trade Westbrook now, I think it's also a bad idea because the season is almost over, there's not enough time to start building their chemistry again. Give Westbrook at least one season, maybe he will struggle in the regular season only but he will contribute big time in the playoffs, surely the Lakers would be happy with that.

That's what I also thought, Westbrook is still giving them his performance and contribute to the team but not the way we expect, yet! Still we can't deny the fact that he's still capable on dominating which ever team they're opposing. Westbrook's test will start as the playoffs commence, and wether he will be traded or not will be announced afterwards because Westbrook's worth will be tested atleast this season. Surely the Lakers can't afford to do trades now and start again as it's already too late.
2405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 17, 2022, 05:06:51 PM

I think the management was really thirsty to get the Championship this season until they made mistakes along the road for building a superteam in hopes that they will dominate every team in the league but sadly the exact opposite happened.
Their defense is weak just like their offensive play, seriously if we remove LeBron James in the equation now like for example he's having an injury, I'm quite sure that the Lakers would fall into pieces.

They build a super team in terms of papers and popularities, but in reality there's nothing that those added stars contribute.

I'm hopeful that finally Melo landed to Lakers, he still has it but the performances of everyone is not impacting to make a win, without AD

they are powerless, what more if LeBron will sit and also suffer from another injury, the same thing that happened last season. We might

see them ending up much worse than the Kobe, Nash and Howard season..

Carmelo and Howard needs more minutes and plays for them to get used in the rotation, but they aren't granted what they need. Instead, the unproductive ones gets to play the game more than them. I don't know why, is it by the management/coach or some issues in the locker room?
Nonetheless, they really need AD's presence to tighten their defensive plays but they still should work things out as the playoffs are near approaching and if they do not, then they should give up their chance this season.
2406  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 17, 2022, 08:50:27 AM


You're certainly right, that was their big mistake as they trade 5 of their keyplayers just for Westbrook alone and they were fine before Westbrook was included in the equation. Also, the fact that they let Caruso and Caldwell-Pope go was indeed a very bad idea as they can be more flexible and useful in times like these so that LeBron can do his own attacks and doesn't carry the team too often.

They are even worse than the LA Lakers' Nash, Kobe, and Dwight.
They don't play enough defense. They are relying on their offensive play which doesn't make enough impact either.
That Laker line up that became a champion in 2020 could still dominate this season. Too bad they changed their roster completely after the playoffs.
Those key players the Lakers traded has been doing great to their respective teams. While everyone who get into the Laker roster has always been struggling except for LeBron.

game: Pistons vs Phoenix

I will trust the Phoenix to win on the road again.

They beat the Pacers (W 112 - 94) on their last game, and I think Pistons is just like the Pacers, or even worst, so I expecf the same result.

My pick : Phoenix -12.


Congrats mate, spread was indeed big but they covered it and dominate the Detroit Pistons. The result was 135-108 in our favor.
As expected they didn't had a hard time and certainly that wasn't tough one beating the Pistons, congrats again! Now the Suns are standing tall in the league with an almost .800 win percentage.
2408  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 16, 2022, 06:21:02 PM
My pick.

Game : Wizards vs TrailBlazers.

Portland are currently struggling, in their previous game, they lose to Denver by 32 points, so I cannot trust them against the Wizards. The spread is -7.5 for the Wizards but I think they can cover that as they can win at least 10 points in this game. Good luck and happy betting.

I'll be tailing this pick with you. Line is currently at -7, but I'm taking the -6.5 instead so as to avoid a potential push bet.

I've got my eyes on the Cavaliers again for tonight, it's a back to back game for them for against OKC I think they should handle it pretty easily the line is at -5.5 right now so that'd be it for me, and I'll be taking the Nets again (I'm breaking my own terms, I know) but it's so hard to overlook them some times.

Cavaliers -4.5

Brooklyn Nets -5.5

GL!

Congrats on the win,  sorry you tail me on the Wizards, can't believe they lose against the Blazers. Anyway, moving forward as always, and here's my early pick again.

game: Pistons vs Phoenix

I will trust the Phoenix to win on the road again.

They beat the Pacers (W 112 - 94) on their last game, and I think Pistons is just like the Pacers, or even worst, so I expecf the same result.

My pick : Phoenix -12.




I'll follow you on that bet mate, I don't have any hesitation on this one and I certainly believe that the Phoenix won't have any trouble at all defeating the Detroit Pistons as they're below .250 so I guess it'll be an easy win for them.
So, Suns -11.5 it is  Cheesy
2409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: January 16, 2022, 06:08:34 PM
The Lakers lost by 37 points, and I would even say they were destroyed by the Nuggets. LeBron scored 25 points, Westbrook scored 19 points and had 0 turnovers, and even Howard played in the starting lineup. However, it doesn't matter since Jokic made a triple-double in this match, and the Lakers couldn't handle him.

Actually, I think the Lakers needed a beatdown by 50. you know, they were just standing in the defense, no spirit at all. If you look, they had  Frank Vogel, the best coach, But now it wasn't enough. The match was really frustrating to watch as a Lakers fan. It was almost like LeBron James vs the Nuggets match. On the other hand, Nuggets had 32 assists against 21 of Lakes. It really shows the team effort.

Lakers are always exposed every time they play a good team or a playoff team. Sometimes they'll have some winning streak but only against a weaker team and we should not be misled by what they show because they are as a team are messing up this season.

 How could management have so quickly dismembered and dismantled a world championship team? This is the worst defeat of the Lakers ever to Denver. Very bad defense from Lakers. I mean some years ago they lost at home with Lebron James elegantly on the bench waiting for the LA Derby against the Clippers two days later

They've done the wrong decision on trading their key players for Westbrook, they have a big 3 but it's not working as one could either be injured and the other are not synching to the system of the Lakers. They are in trouble this season, not sure if they can still fix that big problem.

You're certainly right, that was their big mistake as they trade 5 of their keyplayers just for Westbrook alone and they were fine before Westbrook was included in the equation. Also, the fact that they let Caruso and Caldwell-Pope go was indeed a very bad idea as they can be more flexible and useful in times like these so that LeBron can do his own attacks and doesn't carry the team too often.
2410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: January 15, 2022, 05:26:33 PM
It's possible that Casimero will lose, but based on the betting odds, he will likely win this fight as he is a heavy favorite. Butler considers this fight as a big fight that he has to win, so both fighters really want to win as this is their ticket to fight Inoue who is probably waiting for a unification fight.
Yes, he's the favorite of the crowd and that's why odds are obvious on him. But true to that, that, it's still possible for him to lose.
It's still unknown whether Casimero wins, Inoue is going to say yes and his team for the match that was once delayed and should be for the both of them. There's no answer yet if he's still interested in fighting him.
I would doubt Inoue's team will really say yes, I still have doubts until now because prior to this fight Casimero was already challenging Inoue but they didn't make a final decision, he was just responding but no signing of contract, that's why I have doubt man. you can't blame me.
If they will push this through, I still see Casimero to win the fight and that could be a great way for him to challenge Inoue, though for some medical reason this match was postponed right? Hoping that they can finally settle this since Casimero is slowly losing his fans because of the current situation. If its just a pure trash talk, I don’t think Casimero vs Inoue will push through as well, better to sign the contract now.

There's no health issue happened and the cancellation of the fight is due to Casimero didn't catch the required weight to make the fight happen so I guess Casimero failed to do his part to make this fight happen that's why maybe its almost impossible for this to be done by them. But if their management will try to fix this then provably they could find ways to continue this match up and if Casimero win then this is his great ticket to challenge Inoue.

Casimero was admitted at the American Hospital Dubai because of viral gastritis in just a day before the weigh-in was scheduled.
Read here: https://sports.inquirer.net/444309/wbo-issues-show-cause-to-john-riel-casimero-after-weigh-in-no-show

There are some many allegations and speculations appeared like he was faking the hospital issue just to cover that Casimero turned out to be overweight and heavy than the desired weight, and later on will be stripped on his title like what happened to him way back 2014. Either way, yes Casimero failed to do his part and either this fight will happen or not, Casimero should make a statement to clarify the issue to avoid misunderstanding.

Golden State Warriors finally won a game. They had a really difficult game against Chicago Bulls last night. I was expecting a close result and it was really hard to predict which side could have been the winner too. Because Bulls also are one of the sensational teams of this season. But here in this game, Warriors were so determined to win that they obliterated Bulls by 138-96. Klay Thompson was rested. Stephen Curry didn't have a fascinating performance also. But thanks to a great team play, they still got a comfortable win.

It was a bit awkward tho that they had to sit Klay because I think they can't afford another lose while testing Klay's present capabilities and doing some adjusting while the playoffs are fast approaching, Steve Kerr made a tough decision knowing that Green isn't around. But eventually that decision led to their win with a huge score difference.
These bench players of the GSW are quite smart and really had some initiatives to dig their own scores and make double figures especially Kuminga who really shines in the game today.

I think Klay could understand the circumstance that they had to sit him and see what could be the effect of it. And indeed they break that slump with a win against the Bulls.

The bench players knows their spot already, even with or without Klay they have to muster everything and help Curry because Green is not around. I thought that Kuminga is also on the injured list, but he played so it was a big plus for GSW.

Well, he should because I can really feel him that he's bit blaming himself for the loss occurred after he returned, we all know that at some point there's some changes/setbacks after he returns in the game and even Steve Kerr is still figuring out what to do because they really need the old KT version but they don't have the time. Anyways, t'was indeed a great and shocking game to see.

The bench players knows their spot already, even with or without Klay they have to muster everything and help Curry because Green is not around. I thought that Kuminga is also on the injured list, but he played so it was a big plus for GSW.

I think he already came back from the injury before they played against the Bucks, and I'm quite positive that I did saw him played against the Bucks too and made a double figures, if I'm not mistaken.
2412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 15, 2022, 02:02:10 PM
I'll be going with Phoenix Suns -5.5 vs Pacers

Spurs vs Cavaliers -3.5

Finally, I won both bets  Cheesy

I'm going with the opposite side and take the Bulls -3.5, both teams regressing recently but the Warriors are on a back to back road game plus Draymond and Klay won't be playing.

I just can't help but think the Bulls will dominate and win by at least double digits after watching the Warriors get decimated yesterday but then again my luck is horrendous recently so I won't be surprised if the Warriors shoot for like 60% all of a sudden.

Weird huh ?! Had their best players on the floor (except Draymond) but lost two games, but then Klay out, and Curry not even anywhere near his best games, not among the teams top 3 point scorers for the night but Warriors still won by over 40 points.

The uncertainty/unpredictability in the league these past weeks is very crazy  Lips sealed

I think that there's a lot of bettors who lost the bet, including me Grin
Who would've thought that this scenario would happen, I really didn't saw this coming especially Lavine got injured early in todays game but then I said, nah this is nothing because Green and Thompson isn't around either on the opposing team. But things suddenly changed and GSW dug 41 points alone in the 2nd quarter and buried the Bulls until the end of the game with a whooping score gap.
Indeed mate, it was a crazy week.

The Grizzlies are also inexperienced. Warriors seem to be the clear favorites.
I guess they already have the experience as they are already in the playoffs for consecutive seasons IIRC. Maybe not in the NBA Finals yet but have we ever thought that the Raptors would win a championship before? As the Grizzlies are doing pretty well now, I would not discount the possibility of them going to the NBA Finals.

In the Philippines, the minimum wage was not even Php 1k per day in 8 hours of work.  Grin
Yes, that's true, and I think that is one of the reasons why some Filipinos choose to work/play in other countries. Like some PBA players who want to play in other country. some of them aiming a high-profit salary and some of them, They play cause they want to prove that PBA  Filipino players can fight and win even though they are small players.

Indeed, but these cases are rare because most of the players in the Philippines wants to join the PBA as it's the highest basketball league locally. And for others, well, we can't really blame them for pursuing their basketball dreams overseas as they can get paid more while showcasing their talents outside.
2418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: GGG vs Murata - Reschedule on: January 13, 2022, 07:35:37 AM
The virus is spreading everywhere, changing the venue wouldn't help because they are also looking for a venue that will attract a lot of people, and IMO Japan is the best venue as the Japanese will definitely support their own even though they know that GGG is the better fighter. As the omicron virus continues to disrupt the world, let's hope the cases will be minimize so this fight will eventually purpose, hopefully in the 1st quarter of the year.
With the Japanese government's firmness on this I feel this is a pretty good measure to prevent the spread from spreading, but on the other hand we also have to be willing to wait for delays like this fight.
actually I was really looking forward to this but indeed we won't be able to do much because instead of taking risks with a virus like this maybe it's better to just follow the advice from the government

Seems that this first quarter of the year is not looking good because of the omicron variant.
We may see this fight in the second or third quarter of this year.
But while waiting, GGG and Murata can prepare for their upcoming fight.
GGG is already in his 40s, so let's see if he can still wait this long and still have the power inside the ring.
It may be GGG's last hurrah inside the boxing arena. So yes, this is quite interesting to watch.

If against Murata, I don't think this will be a hard fight for him, at least a more quality fighter, but this one, I'm sure he can win it with ease. Though it seems like it's not gonna happen again but I hope his last Hurrary will be against Canelo, for sure fans would be happy to see that.

Murata is a tough boxer but if against GGG, he's really facing a whole new level and I really believe that GGG won't be having a hard time to defeat this Japanese boxer which they say that he's more famous in Japan than Inoue and that he's viewed as a hero in their country.
I'm also expecting that GGG can have the last dance against Canelo before he decides to hang-up his gloves and that would definitely make the fans happy as they're also looking forward to see their trilogy.

This is one hell of a game with the Bulls vs the Nets. This is the latest I can remember a Bulls game starting (9PM local time). The Bulls are playing good basketball but every time they manage to get within two or tie it up the Nets come right back. This trio of Harden, Durant and Kyrie is just ridiculously good. The Bulls seem to keep leaving Durant open. They are having a hard time guarding this big 3, often doubling on one of them then it opens another up. Let’s go bulls!

There's no doubt that the Nets big 3 is really playing well, they doesn't have that much difficulties with their rotation which is good to see. Even without Irving, the Nets is still a tough team to beat. But sadly, the Bulls have been defeated and they're indeed struggling to guard the big 3 specially Irving is always running and they tend to leave Durant open.
Gotta give some credits to Patty Mills especially Day'Ron Sharpe as they also made double figures.
2420  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 13, 2022, 07:08:07 AM
Good luck to us, we are riding on the same team, hopefully, it's not just a trap where we regret after this game.

Unfortunately, we've lost because the Nets have dominated the game which resulted to 26 points of difference (BULLS 112-138 NETS).
So, might as well bet on the Bulls again next game as they are likely to bounce back but still a tough one to choose because they will be facing against GSW.

Yeah, looks like everyone are on the same side.

Kyrie Irving is questionable, but if he will play I think the Bulls will be just fine.
https://www.si.com/fannation/nba/fastbreak/news/the-nets-will-play-their-next-road-game-on-wednesday-evening-in-illinois-against-the-chicago-bulls

I didn't expect to see Kyrie in todays game, because his schedules are going on/off but, he didn't really scored much but Harden, Durant, Mills and Sharpe put some double figures of 20+ which helped the team to secure the game into their side.
