I agree with what you said, Spence is a pretty good opponent for the next fight because indeed they are very comparable now and could even be a decent match when this can happen.
We probably need to hear from Spence camp first if he can already fight, he underwent an operation on his eye so most likely it requires a certain time to get healed, or worst if he can't fight anymore because of his delicate operation.

on the other hand Keith Thurman is good but you could say Crawford is now having the upper hand after winning over Porter some time ago. and this will only have a slightly different effect when he is faced with spence.
I guess I like to see Keith Thurman in the ring again, fighting with Crawford, this would be a great fight and I'll gladly put a bet on the underdog which is obviously Thurman.

Dennis Schröder finally had a game that he proved he is worthy of a big contract.
yes, but that's just one game, he needs to be consistent so he will be renewed and will have a chance for a bigger contract.
I'm not sure if the Celtics had already max their salary cap, but if they want to increase Schröder, maybe trading Brown would be a good option.
Celtics are not thinking of trading Jalen Brown yet, but if he is not playing based on the expectation and Dennis Schröder will continue to be consistent, then that could potentially happen.

Just to refresh how much Schröder gets playing with the Celtics.

Quote
ESPN reported the pending deal with Boston is for the $5.9 million mid-level exception. Schröder reportedly turned down a four-year, $84 million extension offer from the Lakers during the season.

Anyways, Curry is the real MVP and GSW will be the champion this season. I've seen enough, I'm convinced 100%

He is and he is currently leading the MVP race now in the betting sites, so most likely he will win this season and that's not expected at all, I mean he is not even in the top 3.

I didn't expect this trade though I already know that the "Death 5" will be breaking as they are old already. What are your thoughts with this?

Nothing personal here, it's just a business and we have to accept that it happened.

I'm also surprised at first knowing there's another trade from the SMB roster, and Cabagnot being a clutch guy is traded for Enciso, I guess the SMB are looking for youth that's why they traded their older players.

Cabagnot is 38 years old and Arwind Santos is 40, they are already veterans, so we can understand the decision of the management.

Cabagnot is already an accomplished player, he already won a championship several times with the SMB so for sure he will accept the decision of the management to trade him. AFAIK, Cabagnot has a passion for coaching too, so maybe after his time in the PBA as a player, he will retire and be a coach, probably just like Jimmy Alapag.

His arrival with the Terraferma is good, they have some young talents, they just need veteran to help them more confident and I'm sure Cabagnot would do that for them.

Dennis Schröder finally had a game that he proved he is worthy of a big contract.

He led the Boston Celtics in an overtime win by contributing    38 points, I guess this is his best game so far this season.
With this contribution, I think the Celtics will find a way to give Schröder more touches on the ball.

GGG will have a fight this year! (BOXING)

The thread maybe was not so updated because their not much hype on this fight.

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.

Both Rosario and Poguy are playing tough when the team needed them, they just allow Williams to care of the business but when the time that Williams needs help from his big Bro these two are ready to fire up and back Williams to continue dominating, we have seen them playing as a team and not just a Castro centered team.

The improvement of having coach Chot back, his mentorships provide inspiration to the team. We question back then why Williams is getting minutes during the early season of the Bubble.

We saw why he trusts his rookie and deserves that minute. He brings the title for this franchise and he will continue with the help of his teammates.

I hope to see the same explosive Williams that could easily provide points for the team, with the imports added it could affect his production but he will continue to be a threat because they can't double him when as that would open up the shooters of the TNT plus they have imports that are also good.

McKenzie Moore has not played with the NBA as we can see in his resume.

However, I know that he is good, otherwise TNT would not get him.

Looks like the bookies were wrong on making the odds between the Jazz and Pacers, they give too much handicap that even bettors do not have to worry about their bet since the Pacers beat the Jazz straight up. I don't know what could be the problem of the Jazz, looks like Clarkson and  Conley's numbers decline a lot this season.

We can see the numbers of the two and the stats don't lie.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/clarkjo01.html
https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/c/conlemi01.html

Coach has to evaluate as Mitchell could not win alone, I like to see the Jazz good ball rotation that everyone is contributing as that makes them more unpredictable.

One of the imports that we must look at is the import of Meralco Bolts, Shabazz Muhammad. He is a former NBA player and he played in CBA where he averaged more or less 30 PPG in one season. I think that Meralco is one team that other teams might want to watch this conference (IMO). They have legit import that is a shooter/scorer and they also have a good roster and we've seen it in the Filipino Cup where they are 2nd in elimination round. Which team do you think will dominate this Governor's Cup?

Too early to tell yet but if we based our speculations on history, my choice will be Ginebra as Justine Brownlee is a tested import and he is already acquainted with the style of play in the PBA. Shabazz Muhammad might have impressive numbers in the CBA but bringing it in the PBA is a tough challenge as we all know that most of the imports complained about the physicality of the PBA, and that might affect his numbers.

Those imports who complained about the physicality of the PBA are not accustomed yet to our style, PBA is probably building that culture so we will be tougher during the international competition, we lack height but at least we play with more physicality.

We are going to see if Shabazz Muhammad could still drop huge numbers once the conference will start, but I doubt he will because we have a lot of great imports playing too and ready to compete in a more physical type of game, flopping is not the game of the PBA.

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.

2530  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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
