It just shows that the Lakers still need Lebron James to close the game and become the Lakers show.

Lakers need more than Lebron to fight with GSW, that is great again
will be interesting to see what Miami can do in another LA match, with Clippers, Clippers are on fire, in winning series, and it will be hard to outplay them for Miami, I will back Clippers tonight, solid value @1.5

Big challenge by the Clippers if they can win against a legit challenger. Miami Heat is also a championship contender and LA Clippers although they are in a win streak, they are still lacking as they missed Leonard this season, it will be a great game but I think the win streak will stop here.

If Butler would play then there's a good chance that the Heat will win, but according to the update from his coach, there's no assurance yet whether he will be available or not in the game.

2502  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Nonito Donaire vs Reymart Gaballo (WBC bantamweight) on: November 11, 2021, 09:14:06 PM
For the promotion, again a full one month could have been enough for this fight. And the one handling this fight have many experience in promoting a fight so I don't think this will be a problem.
Donaire's fight is not hard to promote, but this fight is between both Filipinos and I think they'll get little audience compared to Donaire fighting another race like Mexicans or Americans, but still I'm hopeful the promoters will be able to make it a profitable fight.

True, and no offense to Reymart, he is no name as compare to Donaire and even if he won against Rodriguez, boxing fans are not familiar with him. Even to some Filipinos, he is relatively unknown, if not for the fight against Rodriguez, he will still be under the shadows of most well known Filipino bantamweight champions such as Casimero and Donaire. But it good that there are also other Filipinos in this division, like Jonas Sultan who recently won. At least we can say that the Filipinos are dominating this weight class.

Gaballo could introduce himself to the world if he wins in this match.

Donaire is a popular boxer and he gots fans that will watch this fight, so if an upset would happen, then most likely it will make Gaballo popular, and who knows, maybe Donaire's fans will become fans of Gaballo too if Donaire would retire after this fight.

This is probably the biggest fight of Gaballo, so he is making sure he will get the W.

Some SMB fans in social media think Vic Manuel added a boost to their firepower. Maybe I will agree to them if he's still in his prime. Don't get overhyped on that trade. Since Governors Cup is coming, Vic Manuel might end up as a bench player. The reason is because of his position. He is mostly used as Power Forward but since there's an import next conference, rotations will be modified. I don't see him playing alongside Fajardo as SMB is always putting 3 guards.

However, he will be the best backup and support as in PBA, having a big man is an advantage.

Nicely said  Smiley. Vic Manuel will be a backup, though he may play alongside Fajardo at times I think he is not that effective because the painted lane will be crowded. Arwind Santos is one of the best stretch-four in the PBA as he compliments Junemar Fajardo with his high percentage 3-point shooting that is why I agree with you trade will not boost SMB's firepower for now.

Is there a date already for the start of the second conference? I saw in Fajardo's social media post that he's back in the Capital last week and they have started practicing already.

That's good, the fact that they are practicing already means the new conference is just around the corner. How about the imports, is there news already of whether they are in the Philippines or not yet? Our expectation for the start of the new conference is gonna be this month, so let's be optimistic with that and I'm optimistic as well that the trade will boost the SMB's chance to win a championship.
There’s no news yet about the imports but they are coming for sure as we welcome them back on the up coming conference. With the trade on SMB, that can be a good move but for sure TNT and other teams are well prepared to counter that, and it has become more exciting to see that trade this conference will become more exciting, hopefully they can allow now live viewers.
I think TNT does not need to touch their roster, they have all the players they needed to win another championship.

Wiliams their rookie always play like an import, so they look like they have 2 imports playing which makes their team better compared to the others. I know that Ginebra will be the favorites to win this coming conference due to Brownlee but I have a feeling that TNT will not easily give that to them as they are more confident now, especially for players like Pogoy, Rosario, and others who won their first championship.

Not anymore, updated 5 days ago according to https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/nba-mvp-betting-odds

Quote
2021-22 NBA Most Valuable Player Award Odds
Player   Odds
Stephen Curry   +500
Giannis Antetokounmpo   +650
Kevin Durant   +650
Luka Doncic   +650
Joel Embiid   +1200
But for the last 3 games Steph's stats is going down. It's like he is giving chance for the young players to show their skills.
This could be a back to back MVP for Giannis if the consistency will remain. His advantage will be the rebounding capability and blocks per game.
Although, Steph had been upgrading his defense too.
Anyone saw that 2 blocks in 1 game? That was amazing to see for someone who was underrated when it comes to defense.

Yes, Curry is taking the back seat in GSW's two games and let Poole do the scoring. But it doesn't matter, I mean he can explode in a game and score 50 points or more, or have a scoring spree in a month just like last year.

But I guess the big question is who amongst top contenders are going to bring their teams in the Finals this year. Individual accolades is nothing if they can't even win a championship for this year.

The top 3 in the list already won their MVP and also won a championship as well, they wouldn't mind the MVP award enough but to take this team to the NBA Finals since it's the ultimate success every team or player wishes to achieve. I'm not sure if the Bucks would again reach the NBA finals this season but the GSW are just playing amazing basketball right now and it's expected that they'll become better once Thompson comes back.

Curry always leads the team so as long as they are healthy, it should not be a problem getting in the playoff and probably getting into the NBA Finals as well now that the number 1 favorite in the West which is the LA Lakers are having a big problem with chemistry.

Edit: On the Mavs side: Luka! Not again!!!  Cheesy
He made it again, that step back 3 point shot looks effortless.

Actually, I can't help but watch that reply on how he was able to do it, I remember the last time he had a game-winner was in the past playoffs against the Clippers and I think it was his first time in the playoffs. As a top favorite to win an MVP award this season, I think he can still improve his game as his average now is lower compared to the last two seasons.
2507  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I Predict $20,000 for dogecoin in 5years time on: November 07, 2021, 09:25:43 AM
If so, there will be many new millionaires, or the very rich will become even richer. The meme bubble was made by Musk and others. Kudos to them. I personally don't believe in 20000 for 1 doge. But at $10 it could be.
I wouldn't even believe the $10 price on Dogecoin, because Dogecoin itself has never been at $1, what's the story to be at $10, if it were possible it would take 10 people like Elon Musk to make Dogecoin at that price.
That would require a lot of hype and Elon Musk could not do it alone, in fact, I believe that people who invested in DOGE already realized that they just got hype only and there's no way the price will rise anymore. So since Elon is smart, he wouldn't force the issue and maybe will try to find another coin to hype where he could gain big profit from doing it.

I didn't think that DOGE would be at the current price honestly, and I will still continue with my belief that DOGE will not rise anymore to $10 and $20,000 is just impossible to hit.

Give GGG a trilogy then? all for the sake of money because there's nothing for him to accomplished.
Not only for the money but to grant the wish of the fans, you know, Canelo has an easy win in most of his fights and only with GGG where he actually struggles a bit, so as a fan, it's good to see a fight that you are sure it will not be a one-sided fight, so whatever it cost, I guess it's worth to see them fight and we are ready to spend for the PPV.
2509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Caleb Plant on: November 07, 2021, 05:10:14 AM
Good luck to those who bet for Canelo under 10.5 rounds.


They lose their bet because the fight ended in round 11, a good win by Canelo and it's not really that exciting to know who will win as starting in round 4 he already won every round, and just like what he did in his past opponents, he slowly dismantles them until the body will give up.

Congrats to the over 10.5 bettors and Canelo being the unified champion made history as the super middleweight champion.

Lakers game is under already and Anthony Davis made the line with only Lebron missed out.
They still look like they miss Davis because they are not playing competitive basketball, if the Blazers still put the same effort it could be an automatic 26+ points win, but they lay low a bit and make it easy for the Lakers to dominate in the 4th quarter so Blazers only won by 15 points. just enough more than enough to cover the spread and make us relax while watching the game.
2511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: November 06, 2021, 09:25:51 PM
Miami Heat will be tested now against a defensive team Utah Jazz. Chicago Bulls can also redeem themself in their home court this time against the 76ers.
Good games that must be watched later on. Will go for live betting on those two.



Number one seed from the west against the number 2 from the east both teams are performing so well,

I would like to see the Heat defending their homecourt, coming from that poor loss against Celtics, they will  be tested again. Herro and Lowry needs to work more adding good numbers knowing how fearless the Jazz.

Clarckson's performance against the Hawks is really amazing, even without their main man Mitchel Jazz managed to survived.

And with Bulls against Chicago, homecourt also is a good advantage, Chicago almost snatched the game but Curry managed to lift the team.


I am going with the Heat here, they have the home-court advantage and I'm pretty sure they'll use their quickness and good defense against the Utah Jazz to beat them. Miami Heat's record has been dominating teams that they beat, so I think it's not a good idea to fade them at their home although they only have a 3-1 record at home.

If this will be a close game then I guess Heat still got the edge as they are only -2 and they could cover that.
2512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 06, 2021, 08:23:55 PM
Their salary is way different and still the ones working their ass are the kids who are hoping they would get a better one the next contract they sign.
I don't know about Wiggins though, is he still worth that number or they should start thinking about trading him and absorb the new guys who are willing to give their all for a championship.
Wiggins should really be more of a role player but it looks like there aren't much of huge disparity in both of their stats. Once again, if Klay backs that doesn't mean Wiggins will not have the minutes but it looks like his presence will still needed because Klay isn't that 100% yet during that time. If ever he's going to be traded what role should it be?

You can check their stats here: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/teams/GS/golden-state-warriors/stats/regular/

Poole is leading on the scoring especially on PPG but it isn't huge, the minutes was just the same as well but Poole is a Rookie and that's impressive. On the other hand, defensively Wiggins was at it especially on the rebound but on steal and blocks pretty much the same. Assist is impressive for Poole but the turnover he did was half compared to that of Wiggins.

He may be high on turnovers but it's still acceptable because he got touches on the ball. Look at the ranking of most turnovers this season below and you'll see that there are more players with higher turnovers, and that leads by James Harden who averaged 4.9 per game while Jordan Poole only has 2.5.

2513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 06, 2021, 12:03:02 PM

Who has the information about their split before their supposed fight was cancelled? As we all know, they have a scheduled fight last year, April 26, 2020, but due to the effect of the pandemic, that was permanently cancelled.

I did some research regarding your question but I didn't find the exact answer, but instead this article.

John Riel Casimero might need to take reduced purse to fight Naoya Inoue, says Bob Arum

Can you believe that? Arum still wants to reduce the purse of Casimero just to make the fight happen, I think they like to rob Casimero and disrespect his status being a champion. I'm sure the purse was not 50/50 on the cancelled fight and after it was cancelled, Bob talks about reducing Casimero's purse, so I'm guessing maybe it will be 70/30 which I don't think is fair.
2514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: November 06, 2021, 11:20:04 AM
The GSW become good again and Klay wasn't even playing yet. It seems like they'll gonna reclaim their spot in the playoffs judging on their performance early this season.
They don't even have a legit big man.

By the way, did you guys appreciate how the NBA has been changing the rules. James Harden just literally hooked Jackson's arm and was called for an offensive foul.
Precisely. No Klay, no problem. The Warriors is not winning because they have stars and this is almost the same before they became a champion.
Curry, Klay, and Draymond Green was not known all those years until they snatch the trophy.
Now, a new era of Warriors players is developing. Jordan Poole, Damion Lee, Gary Payton II, and JTA. These guys are not really superstars but they look like one after completing a play.
That is why they are lovely to watch, underdog players who plays as a team would best a roster filled with superstars like the Lakers.

It's because they have built their team last year without Klay that's why we have seen Jordan Poole now being the second man. And then a lot of additions again, building a solid team around Steph. Iggy too, his confidence is very high right now as if he is playing at this prime, lol. Now, they are looking great with the current roster and just waiting for Klay to comeback and will go for another championship run.

Jordan Poole is getting the consistency that the warriors need, he scored about 26 points against the Pelicans and scored 31 points against Charlotte. I never expect he will be this good, I hope to see him score the same even against a team that the Warriors might struggle to win. The Warriors record is still good, they only lose 1 game and their win streak continues in a dominant way.

Next game against the Rockets, another easy game for the Warriors.

And if I'm not mistaken, the announcer said that Jordan Poole stays in the arena or at least continue his shooting more than any other GSW player.

And now we are hitting the fruits of his labor as he can literally shot the 3's anywhere he want just like Steph. And I've seen youtube even before the season starts that Poole are going to be big with the GSW and that's what happening now.

The last two games where Poole scored like a superstar of a team were against low-seed teams, let's see if he can still contribute big time once the Warriors will face a team that is at the playoffs ranking. I know they are good and I know they have improved a lot this season, but Poole is not tested yet, we need to see him perform under pressure if he could really be like Klay.

Maybe this (Compulsive Gamblers)? I don't know, sometimes I gamble too much but I don' want to admit I have this little addiction in my system already. I just can't resist putting a bet everytime there's a game on my favorite basketball league, but maybe that's just how gamblers think, they spend money and enjoy, so I'm hoping one day that I will not be spending anymore, instead I'll be investing and ripping out profits from gambling, wild dream, right?

If the price of BTC continues to rise, I think there will be no bears left, because at those times is when the supply will stop and the price rises precipitously and may reach ATH with great intensity. For me it is only a matter of time and waiting.


That's impossible, BTC would not continue to rise and bears are here to takeover anytime. You know, the market is bullish now but remember the market situation before this bull run came, it's a struggle as the market has been bearish for years and luckily we are here again with our dreams and we witness an altcoins season where some of the legit coins are pumping especially Cardano, but $200 is too much for short term, we have to be realistic.

Going back to the topic Grin we are all waiting for the next conference and we are excited to see if how good those imports from different teams, how they will help in chasing for the title. Roll Eyes

According to Harizen, the new conference is likely to start this month, so be more patient as we will eventually witness a conference where imports could finally play. Of course, this is different from the all Filipino cup as it will be more exciting with more production from the imports, probably more high scoring games as these imports could put up good numbers every game.

Why would the government lift that up if it's created for the good of the majority? Irving thinking he is special that he deserves a special treatment than other people, I think that's wrong, teach this guy a lesson, he only thinks what's good for himself but forgot one thing that he is in a team where everyone should think for the benefit of the team. Honestly, I think this might not happen this season.

Didn't expect this news, I guess it's we will know next conference if Vic Manuel has that power inside to lead a team. Northport always fails to qualify in the playoffs but they are trying to improve their lineup, with this news, I'd say they are on the right track.

Anthony is probably what the Phoenix needs as they don't have someone to help Wright carry the team. Wright's production has also decreased the last conference so the team is affected a lot, with Anthony, this team would certainly be a playoff contender again.
2520  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Casimero vs Butler ordered by WBO on: November 04, 2021, 11:24:18 PM
For now they are just cooking something and want people to talk about more since this fight will be correlate with Inoue since many people will be more excite to see this event will happen after Casimero is successful to win on this fight.
I guess they've done enough already for the fans to like the possible fight.

Casimero vs Inoue fight would be a huge one, I'm sure they will be able to sell a good number of PPV subscriptions and of course, gate entrance since it's a unification fight and both boxers are exciting to watch, no running, it's all but toe to toe fight and for sure we will witness a KO in this fight.

It was supposed to happen before but was cancelled, what still Arum is waiting for to happen?
