Yes, of course not everything is because of Xabi Alonso , it is difficult for everything to be just because of him, but the squad he took , he made it work, for example , or that is the case, but it is an example that I like to bring, nothing more than the MU in the PL , they have Ten Hag where he has made them win absolutely nothing, and he is there, many say he is good, but the players he has on the team are world-class and they are not like the squad of a team like Leverkusen, sometimes the leadership of a coach can influence everything, the technique, the way of hitting the ball or a free kick, it is not the coach's responsibility to teach him, but good leadership, I say. something, Xabi Alonso is doing things very well at Leverkusen, today he showed that his game, although Dortmund read it very well, was not enough because he got a draw against a very strong team , the truth is it's nice to see a team like Dortmund play , and it was Difficult for them to tie, in fact they almost scored a goal against Leverkusen at the end of the game that would have been a catastrophe, however a tie is a golden point that allows Leverkusen to remain at the top of the Bundesliga. In part this puts a pebble in the shoe of a Bayern Munich that has or has always had an advantage, where at this point in previous seasons they have been with a good advantage, now it is very fought, a Leverkusen got involved for which many did not give even 1 dollar of faith, now things have changed, the case of Bayern may be that Kane may not be the super solution, but what if he has made the path easier for them, it is that basically they have not changed their style of play , because LEWA's shoe was replaced by Kane's, in fact Kane is much better than Lewa at the moment, this is what I see, however the circumstances in football are very different these days , but this I like it , because the Bundlseiga is getting very Exciting. Leaders Leverkusen hit back to draw at home to Dortmund About this Draw against Dortmund, I think they could have won this game but instead, they just managed to make it a draw for sure this is 1 step for Bayern Munich to take the 1st position from Bayer Leverkusen but Bayern Munich still needs 2 wins and never get a lost record because that will be an advantage for the Leverkusen for sure there is no room for errors, while Bayer Leverkusen made a mistake against Dortmund, for sure the much-awaited match will be on February 10 Matchday 21 because that will be a match against Bayern Munich VS Leverkusen and for me if this two teams still manage to get their score and points to stay the same that will be the only game that they can show who is the real team to become champion in the Bundesliga,
Looking at the statistics of the match, I think it was a match where Borussia Dortmund should be happy with the 1 point they got. They had a very tough match and Bayer Leverkusen wore them out a lot. They are unlucky not to beat because they created a lot of chances. At least they were not defeated, so we have to think like that. Bayern will be the happiest with this loss.
For sure I give praise to Dortmund for getting the match on a draw, because Bayer Leverkusen now is such a new team even Bayern Munich is having a hard time against them so yeah kudos to Dortmund on holding on, but for sure Leverkusen made some mistakes as Leverkusen is pretty much dominant with their stats and performance for this game having 23 shots and they only manage to get 1 goal is really incredible, Leverkusen are now under the threat of losing the lead to Bayern Munich. Because if Bayern Munich win their missing game they are going to be taking the lead from them. Leverkusen could have won normally but they didn't have a lucky weekend. Despite showing a really impressive performance they had to make do with one point.
But even if Leverkusen lose the lead after this result I don't doubt them about their continuing to be competitive for the league title until the end of the season. They totally deserve to be one of the number one title contenders considering how great they perform.
For sure that was I think, but they still managed to not get a losing record so Bayern Munich will still need to make an effort not getting lose themselves as now both Bayern Munich and Leverkusen got 2 draws for this game and they still need to win everytime for sure, |

Nice couple of wins there. Crazy that Dallas went on a 30-0 run and couldn't win the game. Think it was one of the longest runs without winning the game in history. Lula was a beast. Looking at the games ahead for the playin tourny and can't decide. I think I have to lay on the Knicks as a Homer bet but can't decide on the others yet.
Well, the Dallas Mavericks right now are struggling for sure they have done a great job against the Oklahoma City Thunders, the Dallas Mavericks can not make a comeback during the 4th quarter for sure, but still, it was a close match, and even without Kyrie Irving I think they still did a great job, for sure that will be a tomorrow game, Quarter Finals for the In-Season Tournament,
Now my bets and predictions for the games today and for the Quarter Finals for the In-Season Tournament, Indiana Pacers VS Boston CelticsThe stake odds for this game are 2.85 for the Indiana Pacers and 1.45 for the Boston Celtics, right now Obi Toppin, has an ankle injury and Tyrese Haliburton has an Illness and both are questionable if they can play for the Indiana Pacers, Jalen Smith has a heel injury, and can not play for the Indiana Pacers while Kristaps Porzingis has a calf injury and can not play for the Boston Celtics, for this game if Tyrese Haliburton can not play and Obi Toppin that will be a problem for the Pacers but for sure my pick for this game is the Boston Celtics, Sacramento Kings VS New Orleans PelicansThe stake odds for this game are 1.63 for the Sacramento Kings and 2.35 for the New Orleans Pelicans, right now Chris Duarte, has a knee injury, and is questionable if he can play for the Sacramento Kings and Alex Len has an Ankle injury and can not play for the Sacramento Kings, while Matt Ryan has an elbow injury, and Larry Nance Jr. has a rib injury and both can not play for the New Orleans Pelicans, for this game I think that the Sacramento Kings is doing fine for sure while the New Orleans Pelicans because of their injuries I guess the Sacramento Kings will win this so my pick is the Sacramento Kings,   |

UFC Fight Night: Song vs. GutierrezDATE: Saturday 12.09.2023 TIME: 07:00 PM ET PROMOTION: Ultimate Fighting Championship VENUE: UFC Apex LOCATION: Last Vegas, Nevada, United States  WOW! After this event, we will now see the UFC 296 | Edwards vs. Covington which is a much-awaited event for me the upcoming event I really want to see the Shavkat Rakhmonov VS Stephen Thompson more than the Main Event where I will see Shavkat Rakmonov fight again which is why because no one wants to fight Rakmonov in the upper rankings of the Welterweight division I really feel sorry for Stephen Thompson and Tony Ferguson VS Paddy Pimblett where I want to see Tony Ferguson win this one, (please Tony make a win) and Vicente Luque VS Ian Machado Garry fight which in this fight I want Vicente Luque to teach Garry some manners, The Fighting Kitten Ariane Lipski for me is an outstanding beauty, Randy Brown VS Muslim Salikhov, Cody Garbrandt VS Brian Kelleher, Josh Emmett VS Giga Chikadze, But back to the UFC Fight Night: Song vs. Gutierrez for me what I liked about this event was Sumudaerji VS Allan Nascimento, an almost pure striker and almost pure grappler Kenan Song VS Kevin Jousset who was from City Kickboxing, and the undefeated Tatsuro Taira VS Carlos Hernandez, However, is uncle Dana's mockery of the PFL's merger with Bellator a marketing strategy to promote the superfight that he is presently teasing with MMA news media? What might be this superfight? This article has asked a good question. What would make a fight a superfight for the fans in the modern age of MMA? Has uncle Dana spoken to Francis Ngannou and the PFL? In a recent interview, UFC CEO Dana White teased that he is working on a “superfight” for 2024, which has sparked some conversation. What could the fight White says he’s trying to put together be, and what actually constitutes a superfight in today’s modern age of MMA?Source https://www.mmafighting.com/2023/12/1/23984266/heck-of-a-morning-what-ufc-superfight-could-dana-white-be-teasingDana White might be teasing something, and for sure he is positive in mocking PFL and Bellator because he thinks that many will prefer UFC more than the PFL, which is because the UFC is the number 1 well-known MMA fight organization, well, we will see if UFC could attain something different for sure there are no Kick Boxing VS MMA rules in the UFC that has with the ONE Championship, for sure Dana White will need to pull something interesting and different,
You know, the fact that we see UFC are giving bonuses is one side of the coin, because we dont really see how fighters actually receive. Not saying that UFC just say that they give and fake that, but from the interview with Viacheslav Borshchev (he has got fight of the night bonus on UFC295), he has told that he will get this bonus in 2-3 months only, and he does not rely much on them. He has said that bonuses are not instant, because UFC run various doping tests, check if sponsors contracts were not broken and etc. I am sure that most of the fighter get those bonuses, no doubt that they deserve them, but there is always a % that fighter gets caught with something or has violated some kind of a rule.
For sure if no one complained that they didn't get their bonus then I think it is safe to assume that the UFC really is giving their bonus, but rewarding the fighter this kind of privilege and for sure that certain fighter still needs a great performance to get that privilege for sure they still need to work hard for it, |

It is 100% shocking to me that OKC is doing this great, I mean they do not have any star level players aside from SGA, that dude and bunch of role players have made them a successful team somehow, and we are talking about a team that owns THIRTHY!!! picks in the next 7 years, which means that they may very well use all their picks to get even better picks (give 28th and 15th to get 10th type of deal) or they may even use it to get other players as well, they could just swap picks for a player and make the team stronger.
This team is already good, when you think about the growth they may have, they are going to be unstoppable by that logic. Or maybe this is an outlier season and next year (or even rest of this season) they may not be all that great.
For sure the newer batch of players is more hungry than the veteran ones, but I really wish that they could have a solid mind when it comes to the playoffs as many teams have perished on the play-offs because they are not well experienced enough in playing for the playoffs as the veteran become more aggressive and thirty as they can taste the sweet victory for sure, I like Paul George's courage to shoot those three. I mean it takes a lot of bravery to do that because all blame will be on him if he missed that shot. They don't need a three, a two would suffice to take it to overtime with a hardcore defense in those final seconds.
Oh and Steph, why? I know Draymond Green had been hitting his threes with a 50 percent shooting stat but that shot should be for Curry. There's a chance he could get a foul if he kept on attacking the paint but he chose to pass it to Draymond and just trust his hands.
Anyway, the Warriors are still playing great despite that loss, I can see Steve Kerr has been rotating his players very well and they could've really won that game and beat the Clippers twice. I think that's still a good thing. They are not dead yet and Steph has been getting the help that he needs.
Moses Moody especially has been stepping up his game on both ends of the floor. His last three games are all in double figures and I think Coach Kerr will keep on using him because of that. He played 32 minutes today.
Paul George becomes steamy hot with the three that have cut down the lead of the Warriors it was a sad truth seeing that the big lead of the Warriors came down to 1, I think that is a 20-plus lead and they had blown it bad even though Draymond Green made 21 points for this game the Warriors end up losing this game, For me, Steve Kerr should give Mosses Moody much time as he was heating up from all of his 3-point attempts for sure Moody will need the experience for sure, and for the New Warriors team to make improvements for themselves, |

That knee that Tsarukyan has lendec is 100% trained in Tiger Muay Thai, place were spends most of his camp time. However, that right straight that he landed after I think dazed Dariush even more. Imho a well deserved 4th place in a lightweight ranking. Who is next for Arman? Poirier or Gaethji? Do Bronx (whos gonna probably win and have a chance for a rematch with Makhachev)?
Actually, that knee got some reaction from Beneil Dariush but not pure damage just a reaction for Dariush getting away, but that straight right punch was something, an indicator that Arman Tsarukyan punches are not just a walk in the park, and there is power within it, the thing that I like about Arman Tsarukyan was his speed for sure that speed was really crashing it because that speed on the Lightweight division was really a dangerous thing for sure I want to see Tsarukyan against top 3 fighters in the Lightweight before getting into Islam Makhachev, That was one quickly finished main event and win for Arman, I expected to see more resistance from Dariush but I think he is past his prime. More important than all fights this week is comments from Dana White who was talking about PFL purchasing Bellator saying that one shit organization purchased another shit organization! Please someone remind him that Francis Ngannou is there with Criss Cyborg and many other champions, and more of them will sign up soon, so his ufc slave exploits are almost over. Dana White is worried big time now!  Watch for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpFDjtad_aQJust like what I thought might happen to see Beniel Dariush defeated by Charles Oliveira that easily, for sure I have bet on Tsarukyan because I have seen similarities and Oliveira and Tsarukyan, not the BJJ or wrestling but the aura of a champion for sure I have noticed that Arman Tsarukyan had the power to knockout Beneil Dariush and I am sure about that, Well, All Dana White can do is mock the PFL and Bellator organization, which he will eventually regret sure, I don't really want the UFC to be dropped the number 1 spot but if Dana White keeps on doing this kind of shit then he will likely plummet down, and yeah fighters from the UFC might sign in there and because of that 1 time 1 million fight the PFL is offering,
So many bonuses and I think they really deserve it to get their bonus from the UFC, PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTBeneil Dariush vs. Arman Tsarukyan | $50,000 bonus to Tsarukyan PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTJalin Turner vs. Bobby Green | $50,000 bonus to Turner PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTSean Brady vs. Kelvin Gastelum | $50,000 bonus to Brady PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTPunahele Soriano vs. Dustin Stoltzfus | $50,000 bonus to Stoltzfus PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTMiesha Tate vs. Julia Avila | $50,000 bonus to Tate PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTCody Brundage vs. Zach Reese | $50,000 bonus to Brundage PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTJoe Solecki vs. Drakkar Klose | $50,000 bonus to Klose FIGHT OF THE NIGHTIhor Potieria vs. Rodolfo Bellato | $50,000 bonus to each fighter PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHTWellington Turman vs. Jared Gooden | $50,000 bonus to Gooden |

^^ Garcia has been doing that kind of defense though, but he was not as slick as a black boxer. However, when he moves to train under James, it was evident that maybe he teaches him that defense, the Philly shell, but Garcia has a lot to train with that, as he over exaggerate it.
And it's good to see another familiar name there, Shane Mosley Jr., obviously the son of Shane Sr. We all know that Shane Sr is a good boxer as well during his prime, defeated Oscar Dela Hoya and almost knock down Floyd Mayweather.
As for Ryan, he wants a belt at 140 lbs so he is calling Rolly Romero as his next fight. Duarte though trying to get back in this fight, unfortunately he was waived as he got up at the 9 count and still has wobbly legs.
Actually, as you have said, it was an exaggerated version for sure of the Philly Shell which is why it is weird watching him doing it, and for sure even though he has done it in the past this is very different, as this could potentially be in danger because Duarte consistently punching Garcia on the back of his head, that may cause some initial brain damage just like what happen with Prichard Colón, for sure it was really something that is not good for sure if he used that against Rolly Romero that may get a chance in hitting him in that part,
We will be having a great event this week and I think many will love this because it is Haney who is fighting Haney vs. PrograisSaturday 12.09.2023 at 09:00 PM ETPromotion: Matchroom Boxing Venue: Chase Center Location: San Francisco, California  MAIN EVENTDevin Haney VS Regis Prograis CO-MAIN EVENTLiam Paro VS Montana Love MAIN CARDEbanie Bridges VS Miyo Yoshida Andy Cruz VS Jovanni Straffon PRELIMINARY CARDBeatriz Ferreira VS Destiny Jones Amari Jones VS Quilisto Madera Shamar Canal VS Jose Antonio Meza All information was from Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/104958-haney-vs-prograisMain Thread In the Forum By inthelongrun: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5461472.msg0#new |

I was really disappointed with what happened but well just getting a 1 win over 3 still I really love what happened with the Arman Tsarukyan win that is why I really don't care if the 2 fights were a lost because there are still a chance to bounce back, Beneil Dariush VS Arman Tsarukyan ROUND 1 KO/TKO - WINWhat Speed, a knee then a following right punch that looks like a Superman punch that took down Beneil Dariush, it was lethal when your opponent can not see the punch, and that punch was like nothing when you watch the video it looks like it was the knee but in actuality the knee doesn't lang physically but it got a reaction to Dariush, the straight right punch that knocks out Beneil Dariush cold for me it was an amazing fight and for sure if Tsarukyan fought Gamrot again it will end up this way aswell, and for sure Arman Tsarukyan VS Islam Makhachev fight is inevitable, Jalin Turner VS Bobby Green - ROUND 1 KO/TKO - LOSTIt was Brutal in fact I really don't know Jalin Turner, and what he is capable of and I thought that Green could eventually get this for sure that range was really opening and has been the offensive of Turner, for sure Bobby Green got a hard time and was struggling in getting inside and because of the range advantage of Turner Green got a difficult time finding his opening but actually Green showed a great technique but because of that range difficulty Turner capitalized on that and he knows what he will do, for sure the Referee should get fired from that late stoppage, and it was my lost, Rob Font VS Deiveson Figueiredo ROUND 3 DECISION - LOSTDeiveson Figueiredo looks crisp and getting into this division at first Rob Font looked good until Figueiredo down Font in the 1st round getting him Bloodied, then in the 2nd round it looked like Figueiredo managed to knee the ball sack of Font, and just like I have said Deiveson Figueiredo controlled the fight and he was really good at grappling and Rob Font is very aware on this 1 wrong move for him and this is really a thought fght but Deiveson Figueiredo has managed and create a established good output fighting Rob Font,    |

The increase in their performance from season to season is very good but indeed for this season with the tight schedule they have as well as some lost balance makes the Union not as solid as before.
This season they actually deteriorated especially in defense which I think the change is very pronounced. In addition, their attacking line is also not doing well this season.
It might be a shock for them when they are usually only in one or two competitions but this season they are in the Champions League so they don't look too prepared for that. But precisely when they should prove themselves at this time they are even worse.
The increase in performance is a good sign and an indicator that a team is doing well but Union Berlin is not doing well indicates that they don't have a chance in the championship league and worst is that they will likely be getting relegated, this season, It is just the team is carried away with what they are doing last season and they think that they can handle it this season for sure the team didn't manage anything if they likely not doing quite well this season, as in the November 9 match day they will eventually have a match against Monchengladbach that for sure they will have trouble defeating,
You are right, because Xabi Alonso is Growing a lot as a coach and there are many things that can be done to win, and he is also exciting an entire team and its fans to make this genuine football and to be champion of a Bundesliga, I understand what you are saying. When they say that Bayer's dominance can go down, yes, you are absolutely right, but we must also highlight that things are like this because Bayer has made a point of not lowering the level at all. In fact, they know how to move everything very well, both strategists and players , they did everything possible to get their best man, I say their best man because he is the one who has raised the team which is Harry Kane, without him they would be having a very bad time, like that that they know how to do things, with that same order that they have carried out throughout the seasons it can be said that we are people who can see this effort, some see it as dominance, but if a team does not come out that is better ? how to beat them? It has to be on the playing field.
In the Bundesliga they say that it can be boring and for the same reason , Bayer Always wins, but they don't see that Bayer is still far superior, as for Leverkusen I see the joy in their players, the admiration that many feel for Xabi, So these are things that if you are doing well, why are you leaving? Of course it is a matter of "love" that this coach feels for his lifelong team , so on that side I Understand it, because it is already a very personal decision, so I would say that things when they try to do everything better, well, as I said, I Prefer him to be Zisu, but in the case of him and Madrid, things change, I also saw an article where Ancelotti practically approved and wanted him to go to Madrid because he is the perfect substitute, I really want him to enjoy it. for Madrid and if that is the way then things could be quite good.
For sure it is all Xavi Alonso and the players were trained by him by saying growing as a coach sure when the coach has grown then the team will likely follow, this increase in performance was all thanks to the hardship of Xavi Alonso but seeing that Leverkusen players are also taking the recognition they deserve because they are the once that are playing this game and it is getting to fruition because of them their hardship and what they learned from Xavi Alonso is the key in the Leverkusen's success, For sure the Success of Bayern Munich is not because of Harry Kane alone just because Harry Kane is on the team doesn't mean that they are a great team because of 1 player alone, for sure Thomas Tuchel is there to make that possible and rest of the team aswell in helping him getting those "W" in fact they should learned something from Leverkusen this season and if possible for them to not become the Bundesliga Champion this season I think there are still next season for them to try it, Now that is up to Xavi Alonso if he's still continuing to be a coach for the Leverkusen I think he is successful because of the team's effort in making his agenda to fruition because this is not only because of 1 personnel but the whole team for sure, |

Ryan Garcia Defeated Oscar Duarte - KO/TKO
Floyd Schofield Defeated Ricardo Lopez - KO/TKO
Shane Mosley Jr. Defeated Joshua Conley - KO/TKO
Darius Fulghum Defeated Pachino Hill - KO/TKO
Sean Garcia Defeated Joseph Johnson - DECISION
Gael Cabrera Defeated Alejandro Dominguez - KO/TKO
Actually, I really don't know what happens to these 2 fights
Asa Stevens VS Dominique Griffin
Danilo Diez VS Jose Alvarado
But for sure the Main Event was really something and for me, Ryan Garcia had a different technique in this fight that even he was really having a hard time doing himself maybe because it was his 1st time using it and also it is a move that is really dangerous for him but consistently draining the points of his opponent because Ryan Garcia now is always giving his back his defense now is a side view and consistently giving the back of his neck, I really don't know if this is the new style or technique but because of that Mayweather technique of his many are booing him right now, but for sure it was really a different Ryan Garcia always running but for sure it was effective and at the same time boring but for sure Ryan Gracia doesn't care anymore if you can't beat them join them, But for sure his new technique is Dangerous not for his opponent but for him,

I was really surprised with my bet result and if it weren't for the Golden State Warriors losing I would have had a perfect win sure was 1 point difference and it was a close game for sure, Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State Warriors SCORE 113 - 112 - LOSTIt was a crazy lead for the Warriors and they surely played the 1st half that great but unfortunately the Los Angeles Clippers have made some adjustments and gotten a slow but surely pace in getting that game comeback sure both teams really did well, it just the Warriors got a great advantage with that lead but they have blown it away, what I like about the Warriors now is their rotation I think they need to see their problem and make it in playing their new players to their veteran players for sure it is really going well this way, but yeah James Harden got 21 points, Kawhi Leonard got 20 points and Paul George got 25 points, Charlotte Hornets VS Minnesota Timberwolves SCORE 117 - 123 - WINThe Timberwolves were very dominant in this game for sure Minnesota Timberwolves have done a great job in getting their lead from start to finish, and the fact that the Minnesota Timberwolves is a great team now not the greatest but against the Charlotte Hornets sure that is a total struggle for the Hornets in getting their rhythm for this game, Naz Reid got 23 points, Rudy Gobert has a double-double of 12 rebounds and 26 points and Karl-Anthony Towns got 28 points, Brooklyn Nets VS Orlando Magic SCORE 129 - 101 - WINAnother blown-out game and this time the Brooklyn Nets dominated this game against the Orlando Magic, from start to finish the Brooklyn Nets didn't give the lead to the Orlando Magic, Cam Thomas got 20 points Spencer Dinwiddle got 22 points, and lastly, Mikal Bridge that has to unlock his potential and getting a crazy 42 points for this game, Detroit Pistons VS Cleveland Cavaliers SCORE 101 - 110 - WINIn this game, the Detroit Pistons got a great job in making this game that close at the start of the game it was a 1st half lead for the Pistons but for some reason, the Cleveland Cavaliers got their pace in the 2nd half and for sure another great decision that the Cavaliers will win this one, Cade Cunnigham made a great time but still the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game Jarrett Allen has a double-double of 11 rebounds and 19 points Donovan Mitchell got 20 points and Darius Garland and Max Strus both got 22 points for this game,     |

My bet and prediction for this fight for UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan Beneil Dariush VS Arman TsarukyanThe odds for this fight are 3.40 for Dariush and 1.36 for Tsarukyan, For this fight I think that Beneil Dariush has some advantage when it comes to wrestling and going into the ground but we can say that Arman Tsarukyan has a great takedown defense for sure for me Arman Tsarukyan is coming into the fight fresh and because he is the younger fighter he is still improving for sure, while Beneil Dariush might have defeated Mateus Gamrot for me Gamrot is different than Arman Tsarukyan and their improvements can be different, Jalin Turner VS Bobby GreenThe odds for this fight are 1.57 for Turner and 2.55 for Green, For this fight and many are saying that Jalin Turner can be at an advantage with the height, range, and for sure wrestling that he also has but for me, he is getting on this on short notice so for me I think Bobby Green's experience and unexpected movement might get this done and for sure his takedown defense is great, so I will be going into the veteran that is Bobby Green, Rob Font VS Deiveson FigueiredoThe odds for this fight are 1.79 for Font and 2.12 for Figueiredo, In this fight, Deiveson Figueiredo is coming up the Bantamweight and this is a hard fight for Figueiredo, for me, Rob Font has the better boxing strikes, and his output and pace even though Font doesn't have the power in his strikes that long reach for sure and even though Deiveson Figueiredo has better wrestling for me he will not be very successful as Sandhagen did, because of the size difference, but for me, Rob Font has great takedown defense and that is why my pick is Rob Font,    |

Here are my bets and predictions for the games today Los Angeles Clippers VS Golden State WarriorsThe stake odds for this game are 1.48 for the Clippers and 2.75 for the Warriors For this game Brandon Boston Jr. has a Quadriceps injury and is questionable if he can play for the Los Angeles Clippers, Mason Plumlee has a knee injury and can not play for the Clippers while Andrew Wiggins has a finger injury and right now is questionable if he can play for the Warriors and Usman Garuba, has a finger injury, Chris Paul has a lower leg injury and Gary Payton II has a calf injury for this game and because the Warriors have injured This Paul for sure it is up to Curry and the rest in doing this so my pick is the Golden State Warriors, Charlotte Hornets VS Minnesota TimberwolvesThe stake odds for this game are 2.75 for the Hornets and 1.48 for the Timberwolves, Right now Nick Richards and Brandon Miller are both Questionable, and Frank Ntilikina, LaMelo Ball, and Cody Martin are games he didn't know While Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards are both questionable if they can play and Jaden McDaniels, Jordan McLaughlin, and Jaylen Clark all cannot play for Minnesota for this game right now the Minnesota Timberwolves is doing great in every game and you can see in the standings that the Timberwolves wouldn't need anything and in actuality they are number 1 in the west right now so my pick is the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brooklyn Nets VS Orlando MagicThe stake odds for this game are 1.72 for the Nets and 2.17 for the Magic, right now Dennis Smith Jr. has a back issue, and is questionable if he can play for the Brooklyn Nets, Dariq Whitehead, Noah Clowney, Lonnie Walker IV, and Ben Simmons are all injured and can not play for the Brooklyn Nets, while Jonathan Isaac has an Ankle injury and he is questionable if he can play for the Orlando Magic, Wendell Carter Jr., Markelle Fultz, and Kevon Harris all can not play for the Orlando Magic, for now this is a close game but for sure the Brooklyn Nets I feel like there are still value with that odds so my pick is the Brooklyn Nets, Detroit Pistons VS Cleveland CavaliersThe stake odds for this game are 4.20 for the Pistons and 1.25 for the Cavaliers, right now Ausar Thompson and Bojan Bogdanovic an injuries and both are questionable if they can play for the Detroit Pistons while Joe Harris and Monte Morris both have injuries and can not play for the Pistons while Ty Jerome, Caris LeVert, Dean Wade, and Ricky Rubio all have injuries and can not play for the Cleveland Cavaliers, while this game is pretty much going their way for the Cavaliers they still can not underestimate the Pistons in this game but my pick is still the Cleveland Cavaliers,     |

If the match is 50/50 then there's lots of value for Dariush at 3.20 making it +EV and should make you money long term if you keep taking these spots. I think the books are thinking that Dariush is getting KO'd as he did vs Charles Oliveira. Tsakuryan very may well could but then again, MMA is such a nuanced sport that there's a larger degree of unpredictability than say.. boxing.
Anyway another interesting match up could be Sean Brady vs Gastelum. If Gastelum looks good on the scale, he could win this one.
For sure the odds for Gilbert Burns are tempting and in addition to this Mateusz Gamrot lost to Beneil Dariush via Decision win but it was a very close match and Mateusz Gamrot defeated Arman Tsarukyan, but this is a different story and you have said that this is MMA so for sure so anything can happen, that is why it is sure many that may go and bet for Dariush and the odds are really tempting but for me, I think that Arman Tsarukyan is pretty much different for sure, and I am still liked Tsarukyan, -snip-
Tsarukyan is very consistent in his performance. Even when he loses, it's always a close fight, like the one against Gamrot, which many thought Tsarukyan was robbed (I don't). Dariush was also fairly consistent until his last fight. In the interviews, he looks confident and relaxed though. I have watched the fight again, (just to be sure) and Arman Tsarukyan won that fight because he knockout Gamrot in the 4th round so for sure there is a chance that he might knock out Beneil Dariush aswell, this is my take would happen in the fight,
My bet and prediction for this fight for UFC Fight Night: Dariush vs. Tsarukyan Beneil Dariush VS Arman TsarukyanThe stake odds for this fight are 3.40 for Dariush and 1.36 for Tsarukyan, For this fight I think that Beneil Dariush has some advantage when it comes to wrestling and going into the ground but we can say that Arman Tsarukyan has a great takedown defense for sure for me Arman Tsarukyan is coming into the fight fresh and because he is the younger fighter he is still improving for sure, while Beneil Dariush might have defeated Mateus Gamrot for me Gamrot is different than Arman Tsarukyan and their improvements can be different, Jalin Turner VS Bobby GreenThe stake odds for this fight are 1.57 for Turner and 2.55 for Green, For this fight and many are saying that Jalin Turner can be at an advantage with the height, range, and for sure wrestling that he also has but for me, he is getting on this on short notice so for me I think Bobby Green's experience and unexpected movement might get this done and for sure his takedown defense is great, so I will be going into the veteran that is Bobby Green, Rob Font VS Deiveson FigueiredoThe stake odds for this fight are 1.79 for Font and 2.12 for Figueiredo, In this fight, Deiveson Figueiredo is coming up the Bantamweight and this is a hard fight for Figueiredo, for me, Rob Font has the better boxing strikes, and his output and pace even though Font doesn't have the power in his strikes that long reach for sure and even though Deiveson Figueiredo has better wrestling for me he will not be very successful as Sandhagen did, because of the size difference, but for me, Rob Font has great takedown defense and that is why my pick is Rob Font, |

I mean Warriors won with a lot of help from the bench as well, there are plenty of players I have never heard of that played very well games that allowed them to have a good win against Clippers. I have never heard of "podziemski" for example and dude scored 13 points, or Kuminga had a great game and got 17 points, Dario Saric is still in the league, I thought he retired and dude had 13 points too.
So all in all, Warriors should be quite thankful to their bench team to be this good in order to win this game, and I think it's quite clear that they are going to end up with a much better result if they can keep getting this type of production from the bench all season long. Their starting five doesn't look all that championship level to me, it looks like they are fine but not at Denver levels or Celtic levels anymore, they look like a barely playoff team to me, like first round exit level team, and very best case second round exit, that's it, I do not see conference finals for them this season.
For sure Brandin Podziemski has potential after seeing that game and how Brandin Podziemski worked in this game it was really amazing right now Steve Kerr is giving him more time to play for every game and if the Golden State Warriors could get the right chemistry with Brandin Podziemski I think the 2nd team will be a great thing with Chris Paul could be a full point guard if he wish it, because even without Stephen Curry, the Warriors can manage a great play with Brandin Podziemski and Klay Thompson on the other team for sure, I can't believe my Chicago Bulls beat the Celtics last night. I was halfway watching, as I was also watching the Thursday night NFL football game, and had forgotten to check back in on the game and all of a sudden the final score pops up on my TV (I've got an alerts thing on my tv) that showed 120-113.. I was shocked to say the least. No Lavine either is whats crazy.
Lavine is now out for a week. Some speculate it might be so he doesn't risk injury and that his trade is immanent. What do you guys think?
Glad I didn't put money down on that bulls game!
Actually, it was unexpected that the Chicago Bulls won this game, and even I thought that the Milwaukee Bucks could easily get this one, but against the Chicago Bulls it was a different story, as the game was a close match that ended up with an overtime and in that overtime the Milwaukee Bucks was too tired to make this game a win for them, Warriors is known to have a deep bench though, that's why in their run in the championship a couple of years ago, they have Nemanja Bjelica, and now they have Dario Saric to fill that role. And then Damion Lee, JP of course, Juan Toscano Anderson, Otto Porter and Moody and Payton (which is still with the Warriors).
So that's how deep their bench that time and they are trying to replicate it with Saric, Brandin Podziemski who did play good against the Clippers, lefty with a lot of moves, he even have that right hand hook. They also have a young player in Trayce Jackson-Davis, which also a eye catcher for the Warriors. But yeah, the Celtics and Denver have one of the most deepest team right now and it's hard to match that.
The Golden State Warriors snatched another prospect and for sure Brandin Podziemski is really slick, this new lad has sick moves and is always running inside the court just like Curry, and that floater is really hard to get in he is doing it easily for sure and for this game, the Golden State Warriors have really gotten a great pick this season and for sure Brandin Podziemski has proven that he is needed to be playing in the Golden State Warriors roster, for me Steve Kerr might need to experiment in getting more time to play Brandin Podziemski, Jonathan Kuminga, and Moses Moody for sure |

As you said, there are fighters that get title fights in only a few fights, what differentiates them from those who can't break into the top? They're good. I don't think there are any fighters ranked in the 7-15 tier with consistently good performance and on winning streaks that would stay in that tier for too long. So if we have fighters in that 2nd tier with a mix of wins and losses, they don't really deserve a title shot, and nobody from the top tier would want to fight them as there's nothing to win and there's no money to be made there.
As for the lightweight, we had Fiziev (2nd tier) fighting Gaethje (1st tier) now Tsarukyan (2nd tier) is fighting Dariush (1st tier) (which I see as a 50/50 match). Gamrot will likely get a chance to fight someone from the top 5 (perhaps Oliveira). So I don't think it's all that bad.
For sure some fighters have 2 to 3 fights and then UFC decided to give them a title shot that fast, and there is a success to that there are fighters that have been given an opportunity like that but they just blew it down for sure there is something like this and there are fighters that needed to make ranking 1st before getting the title shot, I like your assessment of the Lightweight division for it is now exciting this way for me I like how they are fixed by rankings and for sure Charles Oliveira still has a chance to fight Islam Makhachev but for some reason got injured and replaced by Alexander Volkanovski, but for sure Charles Oliveira may have a hardtime against Makachev after witnessing that Islam Makhachev got great results,
You think odds on Arman are correct and justified?
I dont think he is going to be that dominant against Beneil Dariush like odds suggest, and I am thinking we could sea major upset here.
My best bet in this card is Deiveson Figueiredo, I think this is perfect him to return winning against Rob Font.
I really like Arman Tsarukyan's chance, it could be a 50/50 chance but in my opinion, because of his age the chance of getting a win might be possible, and because of this a younger fighter also has a chance of getting much improvement for sure Charles Oliveira is stronger than Beneil Dariush as I think he is not improving much I guess this is just what I think as Arman Tsarukyan looks pretty much improving over time than with Gamrot, |

I don't ignore Victor Boniface and Jonas Hofmann because basically they play as attackers and that is clearly different from the positions held by Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong who play as fullbacks. That is their job if they are attackers, but for fullbacks the role of scoring goals is a condition that we rarely encounter. However, the performance of all these players cannot be separated from the direction of Xabi Alonso who succeeded in uniting this team with more chemistry and it feels like Xabi Alonso's genius is indeed above average and it's just a matter of how he will prove with Leverkusen to win various existing titles. Oh, I thought we were talking about their performance, for sure Alejandro Grimaldo and Jeremie Frimpong have their respective position and they are great in the task that has been given to them for Xavi Alonso meticulously look at each player's strengths and weaknesses to be given the role and Xavi Alonso was great in that kind of aspect and as a experienced player aswell he knows what he will do and what he is doing, But regarding Victor Boniface and Jonas Hofmann, I am talking about their performance and not their position just saying this to clear it up and to tell you that you have a point and I agree with it all, Not expecting too much to be honest from Union Berlin. The coach has just come on and it is not going to be instant improvement in my opinion. After all a coach has to understand how to approach with a club. I think it is going to be dumb if we expect instant results from the new coach who has just come on two days before.
I was quite happy with Urs Fischer's performance in the last few seasons they competed but this season the Union is completely destroyed and Urs Fischer cannot be used as a reference to bring the Union to good results this season. Replacing Nenad Bjelica I still find it hard to see how Union will fare but regardless Nenad Bjelica will have to try more to get Union out of the relegation zone now because honestly this doesn't really suit Union who have always been in good situations in the Bundesliga. Hopefully what happened with Leverkusen and Xabi before can happen for Union and Nenad Bjelica this season. The sad truth about Union Berlin is after that last season's blowout performance they thought that they could make it this season sadly they were just good last season Union Berlin started in the Bundesliga 2019-2020, and they ended in the standings in the 11th position, 2020-2021 the Union Berlin landed on the 7th position, in the 2021-2022 Union Berlin get it done again in the 5th position, and in 2022-2023 the Union Berlin got so high in the 4th position, for sure you are thinking that the Union Berlin might get it done in this season, but they are now the worst team there is in the Bundesliga but for sure maybe replacing Nenad Bjelica was not the right choice, and now they ended crashing down and for sure after 4 seasons in the Bundesliga they are now getting relegated back in the 2nd division, |

The result of my bet and prediction for the NBA game today
Detroit Pistons VS Los Angeles Lakers SCORE 107 - 133 - WIN
It was a dominant game for the Los Angeles Lakers and as I expected because LeBron James and Anthony Davis played in this game even though they got a limited amount of 29 minutes of play for sure the Lakers have busted the Pistons' D'Angelo Russell is stable in this game and pretty sure he got a great time with this game for this game LeBron James got 25 points, Anthony Davis has a double-double of 16 rebounds and 28 points, and D'Angelo Russell got 35 points,
Orlando Magic VS Washington Wizards SCORE 120 - 139 - WIN
from start to finish the Orlando Magic has done a great job and they never give the lead to the Washington Wizards actually I am really doubting Kyle Kuzma and against the Orlando Magic he was negated to just 23 points even though Deni Avdija helped or Jordan Poole the Orlando Magic got a great main player that is Franz Wagner, with 31 points, Cole Anthony with 25 points and Jalen Suggs with 22 points,
Toronto Raptors VS Phoenix Suns SCORE 112 - 105 - LOST
This was a closer game but the Toronto Raptors eventually got the lead at the end of the 1st half Devin Booker was not in good condition right now but the coach still let him take the 32 minutes of game time, which is not a great thing even though Kevin Durant scored 30 points it was not enough as it didn't cover the spread, and the Toronto Raptors Jakob Poeltl got 17 points, Precious Achiuwa has a double-double of 10 rebounds and 14 points, Pascal Siakam got 22 points and Scottie Barnes got 23 points winning the game against the Phoenix Suns,

Here are my bets and predictions for the games today in the NBA
Detroit Pistons VS Los Angeles Lakers
The stake odds for this game are 3.65 for the Pistons and 1.31 for the Lakers, and right now Joe Harris has a shoulder injury, Bojan Bogdanovic has a Calf injury, and Monte Morris has a Quadriceps injury, and all playing can not play for the Detroit Pistons, while LeBron James has a calf injury, Anthony Davis has a hip injury, Cam Reddish has a Groin injury, and all is questionable if they can play for the L.A. Lakers, Jarred Vanderbilt has a Heel injury, Rui Hachimura has a nose injury, and Gabe Vincent has a knee injury, and all these players can not play for the L.A. Lakers so for this game this would like can win by the Pistons but because some of their key players were out while for sure that Lebron James and Anthony Davis can play even with a limited time my pick is the Los Angeles Lakers,
Orlando Magic VS Washington Wizards
The stake odds for this game are 1.23 for the Magic and 4.30 for the Wizards, and right now Jonathan Isaac has an ankle injury and is questionable if he can play for the Orlando Magic, Wendell Carter Jr. has a finger injury and Markelle Fultz has a knee injury and both players can not play for the Orlando Magic, while Ryan Rollins has a knee injury Delon Wright also has a knee injury, and both can not play for the Washington Wizards, for this game the Orlando Magic key players are still intact, while the Wizards had a great game against the Pistons Lead by Kyle Kuzma, but for this game, Kuzma is inconsistent sometimes so my pick is the Orlando Magic,
Toronto Raptors VS Phoenix Suns
The stake odds for this game are 2.20 for the Raptors and 1.71 for the Suns, and right now Markquis Nowell has a Ribs injury and is questionable if he can play for the Toronto Raptors, Christian Koloko has an Illness and can not play for the Toronto Raptors while Kevin Durant has a Foot injury Grayson Allen has an Illness and both is questionable if they can play for the Phoenix Suns, Nassir Little has a personal problem, Bradley Beal has a back injury, and Damion Lee has a knee injury, and all can not play for the Phoenix Suns, for this game, the Toronto Raptors is not looking good with just 8 wins for this season and the Phoenix Suns got 11 wins right now and for sure those injuries for the Suns were nothing,

It's really hard to have committed players that's why they should consider not always trading their players nowadays because they may end up like this and with their current state, there will be no doubt that they cannot get to the NBA playoffs with this kind of performance. The Clippers should consider fixing their plays and strengthening their chemistry because it is such a shame that they can't even win a game from a team that resting their star players, what more if they meet up in the Playoffs in the first round?
Well, what about if a player just wants to be out of a team but for sure they can make a player stay in the team that will be a good thing, and if that player is on the main roster or helping the team to actually win then that is a great player to keep but if that is getting the team into a kind of trouble then it is great to trade those players for sure, as for sure the chemistry of the team is really crucial as if a player doesn't like each other then it will be crucial for the team for sure, A bunch of in-season tournament games today and a couple of them will be aired on TNT for Chuck and the crew to give commentary on. First up is the Miami Heat vs the Milwaukee Bucks. Then you have a rematch of last year’s playoff battle between the Golden State Warriors and the Sacramento Kings which I think will be a good one.
For sure the Miami Heat VS Milwaukee Bucks was a close game both teams did a great job in getting the lead on each other but the Milwaukee Bucks are pretty much a better team now not unlike last season's game where the Miami Heat won the game and because Giannis Antetokounmpo has an injury last time, but this time with Damian Lillard and Jimmy Butler can not play for that game it was a clear win for the Milwaukee Bucks, While the Golden State Warriors lost this game it was a very close game for sure this win for the Sacramento Kings is revenge on the early win of the Golden State Warriors against the Kings,
They probably changed their strategy already, I've noticed in their previous games that they aren't so dominant in the 2nd half anymore, so I guessing they're trying to have a good start so they'll not gas out in the 4th quarter. Despite of the lose, I still find the strategy seemed working, the Warriors just made a bad decision down the stretch, like thoses costly turnovers that resulted to an offense on the other side, that shouldn't happen during their normal game and to think that the Warriors are used to tough situations, I'd say it's just a bad game for them.
Don't worry Warriors fanatics.... they'll bounce back with a big win!
Sure they can still get into the playoffs, just like last season as the Warriors are even in the Further 6 seeds the Golden State Warriors still made it into the playoffs but eventually lost to the Los Angeles Lakers but that was really something as the Golden State Warriors did lost to the Los Angeles Lakers las seasons, |
