Expected na nila yan na early exit sila ngayong season dahil nasa process parin sila ng rebuilding at siguradong alam nila na mga dalawa or tatlong season pa ang aabutin para ma overcome nila ang setback ng kanilang ginawang rebuilding. Yan talaga ang consequence na kailangan nilang harapin dahil sa ginawa nila at di hamak na magiging matamis ang bunga na kanilang pipitasin kung sakaling maka chamba sila ng mga acquisition nila.

Sa ngayon, wala paring improvement sa trade ni JC pero parang ang top choices ng Jazz ay Bucks at Hornets, baka lang.

Sana nga matyambahan nila at mapanatili nila yung makukuha nilang future star, baka kasi katulad lang din nung mga
team na napabayaan lang din ung mga future pick or nasayang lang dahil sa mali ang napiling prospect.

Sa ngayon siguro supresa na lang din kung sakaling lumagpas sila ng 2nd round sa bago nilang selection at gaya ng
nasabi nating pareho early exit talaga ang eexpect sa Jazz ngayon.

Wala pa ring update para kay JC baka wala pang pang offer yung team na nagkakainterest sa kanya.
Di talaga yan guaranteed at di rin gaanong tataas ang kanilang chances kung di sila susugal, ganyan talaga eh. Tanging pera at swerte lang na makakuha ng magaling na player para masungkit ang championship dahil kung di sila susugal ay wala talagang pag-asa. 2nd round? Parang mataas na nga yan na expectation para sa Jazz na nasa rebuilding process pa, swerte narin kong makaka survive sa play-in tournament.

Ewan kabayan, di ko narin alam kong ano na sitwasyon nya sa ngayon dahil parang humina ang trade offers or baka lang na di pa tapos ang Jazz na mag balance kung anong team ang may mas magandang mabigigay na package.

In my opinion, the rosters of the Clippers, Wolves, and Cavs look promising.


These three teams supported their squads well.
But the strongest among them are the Clippers as we know.
I don't think Minnesota and Cavaliers will have much of a chance in the NBA finals. Because they don't have a real all-star player on their team. Like Kawhi Leonard.

With a healthy Kawhi, I also believe that Clippers will have a good chance of making their way to the next round,
just need another good run and bring the team back to winning passion.

They almost made it last season even both Kawhi and PG are resting, the role players are good and with the stars
playing around the winning chance is much expected.

Plus, adding John Wall, another offensive player, it is really exciting how the team will perform in this upcoming season.

Everyone knows what Kawhi is capable of. He previously led the Raptors to the championship. I think he can make it to the finals this season with the support of PG and John Wall.



Indeed and that's what makes the team more dangerous this season because both Paul George and Kawhi are back in the court along with the roster who can play decently even without their superstars. Now that they are complete, they'll be a threat to any team in the West as long as both superstars can survive the whole season. This season is going to be interesting because the other teams in the league have improved as well.

3: Do not freak out:

One of the biggest benefit of long term investment is you don’t have to check market again and again. Thus you will face no tension. But to do that you have to build patience in yourself. Which you can do by not becoming a prey of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out).
I'm sure this will be difficult for most new investors especially for those who are new to investing. Panic is normal when the price drops 10%-15% in less than 24 hours, but when a trader or investor ignores these fluctuations and chooses to hold on and believe in another potential in the future then they have become a strong hand.

Don't panic, it's much easier said than realized in day-to-day or short-term trading practice. I agree that if one can avoid panicking when the price drops [in particular bitcoin] then they will have no regrets in the long run if the bounce occurs in a relatively quick timeframe.

OP, by the way you could also consider moving this thread to a trading discussion board instead of a bitcoin discussion board.

I agree.

I have a lot of friends who have a wrong understanding about Bitcoin. They always thought that once they invest in it, it will always give them profits, so the ending is that they are always disappointed and losing hope already. Most of the people who invested in Bitcoin because of the hype of cryptocurrency since the pandemic started has this kind of mindset, they are the panic sellers, and they are the ones that thought they could earn a lot of money like other crypto enthusiast by just simply investing their fiat on a volatile cryptocurrency.
Bitcoin is not for those who are such investors. They fear the volatility of Bitcoin. Moreover, they unknowingly invested during the Bitcoin hype and panicked whenever its price started to fall. Many have sold again at a loss. Those investors need to acquire enough knowledge about the importance of Bitcoin, its uses and how to hold it. But knowingly or not, there is no harm in investing in Bitcoin if they are able to wait until it gets expected ATH. Because Bitcoin is the only who is always able to break the previous ATH in bull market.
Other than the lack of knowledge, some investors are just looking for a small term investment, invest big and reap big depends on their timeline. We know that the chances are not big but the risks are worth taking as we don't know what's ahead of us. So I really think that's the possible reason why some of them sold their assets when the market starts to decline. Other than that, there are investors who don't really know much about bitcoin and its risk, just like the way you said.

Sa tingin ko malabong gawin main man ng Jazz is Clarkson, walang dudang magaling ang ating kababayan, pero kung nagawa nilang i trade si Mitchell, malamang wala na silang ititira sa mga lumang Jazz.

Oo malabo yan kasi dapat dati pa. Kahit maganda pa ang pinapakita ni Clarkson lagi syang off the bench.

Sana magtagumpay Utah Jazz sa eksperimento nila. Bata pa si Mitchell pero pinakawalan nila.

Parang ang hirap isipin na magrerely sila sa young cores para sa goal na championship. Puwede ring mag tank sila ngayong season para maganda ang pick nila sa next draft pick.

Yes, expect na yang mag tank sila ngayon, at syempre may papalit na team sa West kung saka sakali sa Jazz sa top 4-5 spot.

Hindi ko talaga nakikita si Clarkson at franchise player or maging starting five nila, at talagang i trade na nila to. Isa rin si Conley nga, sa mga nangangailangan ng point guard na team, tyak panalo sila dito kaya lang hindi na rin to bumabata kaya siguro hindi rin kagandahan ang offer kung i trade ng Jazz.

After nilang pakawalan lahat ng main gunners nila malamang sa malamang eh bokya or early exit sila sa season na to,

pero siguro part din ng plano yan at ungtarget na makakuha ng future super star ang target nila tapos dun na nila papaikutan ng mga role players.

Mahirap lang din yung sitwasyon ni JC pero syempre kahit san naman sya maglalaro adjustment lang din talaga ang kailangan nya.

Aabangan na lang natin yung balita kung may mangyayari pang trade para sa kanya, kung merong interesting offer para makuha sya ng
ibang team.

Expected na nila yan na early exit sila ngayong season dahil nasa process parin sila ng rebuilding at siguradong alam nila na mga dalawa or tatlong season pa ang aabutin para ma overcome nila ang setback ng kanilang ginawang rebuilding.

Yes, there's no problem with that. I'm just seeing most of the fans have talked about that before but it's no longer a problem. Everyone has to end their journey with their championship team and has to be traded away if that's the management's decision.

They cannot keep them all anyway even if they wanted too. Their salary is bound to go up and if GSW keeps them, they would be over the cap and will be paying a lot of luxury tax. It would not be a wise move. They have to make a choice who to let go and who to keep.
Well, that's right.

They'll have that salary cap and that's why some of them has to let go and be traded. As a player goes into a championship, I guess that they're also bound to increase their salaries and contracts.

And the GSW management can't keep with that and maybe, that's a brilliant thing for some of those that wanted to increase their salary but, they'll no longer be part of that great championship team that they've been part of.

The players already knew that they have no choice at all when they are being selected to be drafted so that the team will not pay excessive luxury tax, NBA is business after all as well as the franchise. If the players earn, the franchise needs to earn and save too, that's the point. If only luxury tax wasn't there, I bet the teams in the league will be so stacked up because they will be keeping their players especially the ones who are so vital for the team's win in the championship.
2666  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 25, 2022, 06:04:30 PM
^^ Yes, that's one of his biggest mistakes, he didn't let his hands go specially in the early rounds. And it's too late, maybe round 7 when he started to chase Devin, but Haney is already in the zone and comfortable, using his length so that George can't go inside. So if Kambosos will start hot like in the Lopez fight and swarm Haney, then he might have a chance to win. Otherwise, another easy fight for Haney, cruising automatic for a 12 round decision again and a place for a Loma fight next year.
This seems like the only chance that Kambosos has of trying to turn the fight on his favor, if he let Haney to get into the rhythm that he likes then he'll be in complete control of the fight and get an easy win, so he needs to get out there and try to get the win from the moment the bell sounds, now even with that kind of strategy getting the win will not be easy, but at least it will have a small chance to do so while at the same fans he will give the fans what they want.

Yes, one strategy that they might used in this fight and as I had said, Kambosos was successful doing that against Lopez in their fight, even knocking him down. And when Lopez try to rally late, George has build enough lead already. On the contrary, it was a opposite fight plan for him, he was slow and he started to attack in round 7. Maybe Haney's style is too difficult for him, or he really let Devin get comfortable. And even if this is a small chance as we see, at least he will have to try and do it. Instead of looking for a one punch knock out, which might not happen. So he needs to bring the fight to Haney, not that other way around.

Haney is different, he is very technical and he will not make a costly mistake that will make Kambosos capitalize. I think Haney is still gonna dominate here, his quickness and his defensive style is hard to break against a much slower fighter, Kambosos needs to be lucky in order to win here.
We can see that Haney is in fact the favorite to win this fight but if you were Kambosos how you would approach this fight in order to get the unlikely win? And it seems to me the only way to do something like this is by trying to bring the fight to Haney and make him uncomfortable so he cannot execute his better boxing technique, and even in that scenario I will give the advantage to Haney but I think there will be a slightly better chance for Kambosos to win the fight.

I'm not such an expert when it comes to what is the right approach for Kambosos but I'm quite confused on how he performed on their first encounter, he wasn't clever enough to at least give Haney some difficulties but instead he gave the latter some advantage to defeat his own self. We didn't saw the Kambosos we've known, the aggressive one and the one who mostly give offensive attacks. The outcome might be different if we saw the Kambosos who fought Lopez, but unfortunately, we haven't.
2667  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Dmitry Bivol vs Zurdo Ramirez on: September 25, 2022, 05:00:11 PM
~~~
I don't think Bivol cares much about the money. Former Soviet fighters are more glory hunters rather than money. Bivol already rejected Canelo's offer for the undisputed titles at super-middleweight. Bivol is a small light-heavyweight and I believe he can make the super-middleweight limit with no difficulty. But he opted to stay at 175 and openly mentioned that he wanted to fight 3-belt champion Beterbiev for the undisputed championships.

No one fights for charity. Bivol is putting so much time and effort in to this, and he deserves a decent payout. If I am not mistaken, he is yet to receive any payment for his win against Canelo. Bivol is a Russian citizen, and there is a blanket ban on wired bank transactions to Russian citizens from the United States. The organizers should have taken care of this, but I guess they never thought that Bivol would win the fight. It is not the question of whether Bivol cares about the money or not. He deserves that amount and it should be credited without much delay.
Yes, we are in the modern era of boxing, every boxer now goes for the money. And it's just just to hear that Bivol hasn't received the money that he deserved after winning against Canelo.

They should have done something by now that they have made the money to Bivol's part. And so the next fight, in cases he won against Ramirez, everything should be settled already.


Something that Bivol's camps need to make sure by now before this fight against Zurdo, like what you all mentioned, it's no longer the old day where fighters are more to fame, nowadays, after the success of those prime legends like Mayweather and Pacquiao, it's more on the money side, fighters are willing to do everything to enjoy the luxury of being the champ and having lots of money to enjoy life.

And I'm pretty sure Bivol also loves to enjoy that privilege after beating Alvarez and put his name at the top.

On his upcoming fight, he might collect more money now and if he will win the chance of making more once Alvarez calls
for the rematch.

Bivol didn't got his money until now? That's harsh! The government should stop interfering from the activities in the sports industry because the people are trying to make a living while putting their lives at stake, Bivol shouldn't be an exemption even if he's a Russian boxer. Unfortunately, I think Bivol will likely receive his paycheck from that fight when the war cools down because until now there's still some conflict going on in Eastern Ukraine. I guess that's exactly the reason why the Bivol-Ramirez fight will take place in the Middle East.

That is likely the case for Bivol, the sanctions of the US against Russia is still up until now, pressuring the Russia to withdraw the war. That said, it is affecting the Russian athletes as it's very difficult for them to get what they deserved. Sports and politics shouldn't be mixed, it's just too ugly.

Well, I understand why the organizers chose Abu Dhabi because the place is neutral and Bivol won't have some difficulties getting his paycheck after the fight.
This is very interesting, I didn't know that in Dubai they were neutral, so this is a paradise for Russians, I think it's excellent that they can do something like this to be able to have fights with the best boxers in the world, I don't really care if it comes from Russia or wherever, I think that here it should prevail that they are good athletes and nothing else, however I think that before this, as always, the first thing is the business model, if the fight attracts many people, it is obvious that it will happen It will not matter that it is Russian, in this type of event I think that the fights can take place, because if it is a lot of money, the one that moves, I do not think they will say No.

Yes, the UAE has been a neutral place since then and they chose to maintain their stand because they know that it could ruin their diplomatic ties to USA and Russia if they start to pick sides. They are right about that and actually there's a saying that goes "a friend to all, enemy to none", and that's what their country did. That's why the organizers have chose Abu Dhabi (Capital of UAE) because it's neutral and it can be profitable for them as well because the country is rich. Also, that Bivol vs Canelo fight was almost held in Dubai for the same reason.



Things are heating up because the boxer says the following:


Zurdo Ramirez: No one can help Dmitry Bivol in the ring against me



Quote
“I am very ready for this,” he said at a media day on Wednsday. “The entire world will see Zurdo Ramirez and all the potential I have.

“At the end of the day, it’s just going to be me, him, and the referee inside of the ring. No one can help him once he is in the ring with me.”

Things are getting hot, and this is very good, because it makes the bets interesting, this can change all the bets that you want to make, maybe Zurdo doesn't eat the Russian, this is what I like about boxing, that there are no fears of any kind.

Well, it's not new anymore that people wanted some spices before the actual fight to somehow make the fight more interesting. I know Zurdo is one of a kind but he needs to prove himself first against Bivol before starts boasting and saying lines like that.

Yan ay ilan lamang sa mga challenges na kailangang malampasan ng bagong head coach ng Lakers na si Darvin Ham at malay natin, meron na pala syang naiisip na magandang gameplay na sa tingin nya ay effective para mag synch lahat ng players ngayong season. At ito pa nga, nakabalik ulit si Schroder sa Lakers at palagay ko ay mas gagamitin sya bilang defense dahil andyan narin sina Patrick Beverley, LBJ at AD na syang mamumuno pagdating sa offensive.

Kung magiging maayos ang relasyon ni Lebron at coach Ham na dapat naman talaga eh ganun ang mangyari kasi nga si LeBron and nagkaimplwensya para mapalitan si coach Vogel at ipalit itong si coach Ham, tingin ko naman din makakapalag naman kung kayang makapag reserve ng lakas nitong limangs stars na to sa final quarter, ang susi kasi ng pagkapanalo eh yung final minutes ng game dun magkakapukpukan at kung makakasabay pa sila malamang na mananalo sila.

Yun lang hehe, sa bagay isa nga si LeBron sa mga rason kung bakit natanggal si Vogel noon dahil ma impluwensya sya pagdating sa management. Palagay ko ngayon ay wala pa yang issue dahil bago pa si Coach Ham pero kung kalaunan eh puro mali-mali ay talagang mawawala na naman yan.

Sa line-up nila ngayon ay may palag talaga, pero tingnan muna natin kung ano ang kanilang gameplay sa pre-season game at palagay ko isa yan sa magiging basihan ni coach Ham kung ano ang gagawin nya sa kanyang mga players.

Parang magandang abangan tong pre-season game nila pero sana maglaro si AD at LeBron kaya lang malaki din yung chance na hindi baka kasi i-reserve na lang para sa regular season, gusto ko sana makita kung ano yung magiging impact ni Gobert sa Minnesotta kasama na rin yung magiging timplahan ng Lakers sa mga players nila.

Baka yung sinasabi mo eh sa regular games na natin makita kung paano titimplahin ni coach Ham yung mga bata nya at kung magiging epektibo ba yung game plan nya para sa ikagaganda ng chemistry at laro ng bawat players.

Pwedeng oo, pwedeng hindi. Pero palagay ko ay full force sila maglalaro dito dahil dyan yata susubukin ni coach Ham kung maganda ba at kung effictive ang kanilang ginawang gamepaly habang nasa training camp. Baka dyan na susubukan at para malaman na agad kung ano ang bagay na adjustment. Pero gaya ng sinabi ko, pwedeng oo at pwede ring hindi Grin
2670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 24, 2022, 06:53:28 PM
The way PBC is treating Crawford, I don't they will be able to sign him if he beats Spence except for a 1 or 2 fights deal that would guarantee a title shot against undisputed super middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. After that, I think he is headed to DAZN.

As a knowledgeable in boxing, do you think that regardless of who will win on this match between Spence and Crawford, they will face Jermell Charlo next at the super middleweight?

Or a rematch is bound to happen first?

I really like that this fight between Spence and Crawford should happen now to now end the issues of who's the best in the Welterweight and finally will move on to their next plan.

There is a high chance that a rematch is bound to happen first regardless of the result, I don't think that Spence or Crawford will just move-on without having a second bout to try and settle their scores. Also, a rematch clause was stated and that's expected as this is an undisputed fight and a measurement on who's really the best boxer in the welterweight division.

An immediate rematch clause regardless of the result? What if Crawford knocks out Spence in round 1 or if Spence knocks out Crawford also in round 1? Does this not make the rematch not very marketable for the promoters and also not very tempting to watch for the fans? I reckon there must be a clause within the rematch clause hehe.

Also, Bob Arum said that Crawford will beat Spence. But how can we trust Arum when he was hurt by Crawford when he left Top Rank for free agency.



“I really believe Terence is the better fighter and will beat Spence when they fight, although I expect it’ll be a tremendous fight. That remains to be seen,” said Arum when asked if Spence – Crawford will be on the level of the 1980s fight between Sugar Ray Leonard and Tommy Hearns.

Source https://www.boxingnews24.com/2022/09/bob-arum-picks-terence-crawford-to-defeats-errol-spence-jr/

Yes, you're right. I won't be marketable for the organizers and promoters if Spence or Crawford will get knocked out especially in the 1st round of the fight, anyway, they haven't released some details regarding that clause within the rematch clause. What we know is that the defeated boxer could chose to activate that clause or not, and we know it won't be activated if that defeated boxer was lost dominantly by a way of KO/TKO. I bet the promoter won't let the boxer do that because it's already nonsense.

I also believe that Bud Crawford have the higher hand in this fight, the man is fearless and could break mountains if he has to. While Spence here is clearly trying to drag the schedule because he knows that Crawford won't be the same as time goes by.

Wow, LA Clippers have a huge chance to be a champion this season, as long as John Wall will be healthy and he will still perform the way he used to when he was still with the Wizards, I think LA Clippers can make it to the NBA finals. I know we have the Warriors here, but I'm now rooting for a new team that is a great contender.
Hopefully, they stay healthy. I wonder if they will put John Wall into load management like they are doing with Kawhi. Wall is also prone to injury, so if they load manage him, they can prevent some serious injury. They are great team in paper, hopefully they can convert it in the court.

They can manage him for sure as the Clippers is a good team, and even their 2nd unit is very competitive, remember when Paul George was injured? No PG and Kawhi and yet the Clippers still remained competitive. I like the way they play as a team, to be honest, they are really good, and they'll get better once they are fully healthy.

The team is still hard to defeat even if Paul George and Kawhi wasn't there for the team, what's more if these 2 superstars will start playing side by side again? Another additional asset is John Wall, the current Los Angeles Clippers is surely a vicious team that will cause an alarm to the other teams in the league.

As of now, the good news is Kawhi Leonard's already back fully healthy but he won't be in the starting five for the meantime because the team can't afford to make errors this time so they will give Kawhi few minutes first before he will do some heavy loads.

Load management is very important, although fans hate this, but it's better than risking the players that has recently recovered from a serious injury. The Clippers can give Leonard a limited minutes, they can still win more games and most probably be in the playoffs, and that's the time where Leonard will play full time.

Yes, indeed! That's why it's important not to rush things on their end. The good thing about Clippers is that they are not relying on Kawhi and PG, they are still dangerous even without their two superstars. It's much better for Kawhi to let him overcome his rustiness first by letting him play few minutes per game just like what the Warriors did to Klay when he got back after his ACL injury before giving him more load. I think the Clippers will have some few pre-season games, that could be a good opening for Kawhi.
2672  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 24, 2022, 03:57:33 PM
^^ Right, so even if Lopez moves up to 140 already, we have someone trying to get into the picture and put his name around those established boxers in the lightweight.

So we will see how he will adjust to it, maybe he can challenge for the belt because guess what? Shakur is with Top Rank as well so it's a win win situation for him to get into this weight class ASAP because Haney is also on the same stable and so is Loma.

Great decision of a fighter, if he is not anymore comfortable in a lower weight, going up is always the solution. They have to face the champion and the good thing is they are not forcing their body, they are fighting to a weight class that they feel they can give their 100%. Salute to fighters who are honest and do not make an excuses if they lose.

And Lopez deserve some respect for that! He did not made some noise when he was defeated by Kambosos, instead he took some time to reflect what is lacking, eventually he realized that lightweight is not for him and probably, moving up is one of the best decisions he made. Recently, I found out that he is about to face someone this coming December, he is looking to have a title fight.

They should have done something by now that they have made the money to Bivol's part. And so the next fight, in cases he won against Ramirez, everything should be settled already.


Something that Bivol's camps need to make sure by now before this fight against Zurdo, like what you all mentioned, it's no longer the old day where fighters are more to fame, nowadays, after the success of those prime legends like Mayweather and Pacquiao, it's more on the money side, fighters are willing to do everything to enjoy the luxury of being the champ and having lots of money to enjoy life.

And I'm pretty sure Bivol also loves to enjoy that privilege after beating Alvarez and put his name at the top.

On his upcoming fight, he might collect more money now and if he will win the chance of making more once Alvarez calls
for the rematch.

Bivol didn't got his money until now? That's harsh! The government should stop interfering from the activities in the sports industry because the people are trying to make a living while putting their lives at stake, Bivol shouldn't be an exemption even if he's a Russian boxer. Unfortunately, I think Bivol will likely receive his paycheck from that fight when the war cools down because until now there's still some conflict going on in Eastern Ukraine. I guess that's exactly the reason why the Bivol-Ramirez fight will take place in the Middle East.

That is likely the case for Bivol, the sanctions of the US against Russia is still up until now, pressuring the Russia to withdraw the war. That said, it is affecting the Russian athletes as it's very difficult for them to get what they deserved. Sports and politics shouldn't be mixed, it's just too ugly.

Well, I understand why the organizers chose Abu Dhabi because the place is neutral and Bivol won't have some difficulties getting his paycheck after the fight.
2674  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: September 23, 2022, 05:57:01 PM

For sure will go on Inoue this time because I think he is much stronger than Butler since he is young fast and have killer punch which can totally knock out his opponent.

Everytime Inoue has a fight, the majority of the fans are rooting him to win, so it's not a surprise because he is the better fighter here based on their stats in comparison. Actually, fans are not discussing on who will win, they are discussing on how Inoue will win.

That is obvious, who among us fans wanted their boxer to lose?  It is that Inoue had proven himself many times that he is really a monster in the ring making us think that there is so little chance for his opponent to beat him.  It was Donaire who I think can beat Inoue but then the latter totally destroyed the Filipino flash on their rematch.

Donaire has the power as well, unfortunately, he is already not in his prime, so I'm not surprised that Inoue destroyed him in the rematch. The closest challenger I think would give Inoue some problem is Casimero, however, due to his careless action, he got stripped with his belt.

Yes, it wasn't that surprising that Donaire was defeated but what's surprising is how Inoue defeated the Filipino Flash in just mere 2 rounds, I mean, I wasn't expecting that to happen but Inoue did it anyway. That only shows that he improved for the better and that makes him almost invulnerable because he mastered his offensive and defensive skills.

Casimero on the other hand, it's very unfortunate what happened to him because we are speculating about them last time that maybe it was him who will give the monster some challenge. But I guess our only last chance to see them inside the ring is if they will climb the next weight class.

Yan ay ilan lamang sa mga challenges na kailangang malampasan ng bagong head coach ng Lakers na si Darvin Ham at malay natin, meron na pala syang naiisip na magandang gameplay na sa tingin nya ay effective para mag synch lahat ng players ngayong season. At ito pa nga, nakabalik ulit si Schroder sa Lakers at palagay ko ay mas gagamitin sya bilang defense dahil andyan narin sina Patrick Beverley, LBJ at AD na syang mamumuno pagdating sa offensive.

Kung magiging maayos ang relasyon ni Lebron at coach Ham na dapat naman talaga eh ganun ang mangyari kasi nga si LeBron and nagkaimplwensya para mapalitan si coach Vogel at ipalit itong si coach Ham, tingin ko naman din makakapalag naman kung kayang makapag reserve ng lakas nitong limangs stars na to sa final quarter, ang susi kasi ng pagkapanalo eh yung final minutes ng game dun magkakapukpukan at kung makakasabay pa sila malamang na mananalo sila.

Yun lang hehe, sa bagay isa nga si LeBron sa mga rason kung bakit natanggal si Vogel noon dahil ma impluwensya sya pagdating sa management. Palagay ko ngayon ay wala pa yang issue dahil bago pa si Coach Ham pero kung kalaunan eh puro mali-mali ay talagang mawawala na naman yan.

Sa line-up nila ngayon ay may palag talaga, pero tingnan muna natin kung ano ang kanilang gameplay sa pre-season game at palagay ko isa yan sa magiging basihan ni coach Ham kung ano ang gagawin nya sa kanyang mga players.

Wow, LA Clippers have a huge chance to be a champion this season, as long as John Wall will be healthy and he will still perform the way he used to when he was still with the Wizards, I think LA Clippers can make it to the NBA finals. I know we have the Warriors here, but I'm now rooting for a new team that is a great contender.
Hopefully, they stay healthy. I wonder if they will put John Wall into load management like they are doing with Kawhi. Wall is also prone to injury, so if they load manage him, they can prevent some serious injury. They are great team in paper, hopefully they can convert it in the court.

They can manage him for sure as the Clippers is a good team, and even their 2nd unit is very competitive, remember when Paul George was injured? No PG and Kawhi and yet the Clippers still remained competitive. I like the way they play as a team, to be honest, they are really good, and they'll get better once they are fully healthy.

The team is still hard to defeat even if Paul George and Kawhi wasn't there for the team, what's more if these 2 superstars will start playing side by side again? Another additional asset is John Wall, the current Los Angeles Clippers is surely a vicious team that will cause an alarm to the other teams in the league.

As of now, the good news is Kawhi Leonard's already back fully healthy but he won't be in the starting five for the meantime because the team can't afford to make errors this time so they will give Kawhi few minutes first before he will do some heavy loads.
2677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: September 21, 2022, 08:25:00 PM
The way PBC is treating Crawford, I don't they will be able to sign him if he beats Spence except for a 1 or 2 fights deal that would guarantee a title shot against undisputed super middleweight champion Jermell Charlo. After that, I think he is headed to DAZN.

As a knowledgeable in boxing, do you think that regardless of who will win on this match between Spence and Crawford, they will face Jermell Charlo next at the super middleweight?

Or a rematch is bound to happen first?

I really like that this fight between Spence and Crawford should happen now to now end the issues of who's the best in the Welterweight and finally will move on to their next plan.

There is a high chance that a rematch is bound to happen first regardless of the result, I don't think that Spence or Crawford will just move-on without having a second bout to try and settle their scores. Also, a rematch clause was stated and that's expected as this is an undisputed fight and a measurement on who's really the best boxer in the welterweight division.
2678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: September 21, 2022, 07:59:57 PM
^ Yes, and this is what I've been saying as well, if Kambosos wanted to win, he needs to be extra aggressive, just like in the Lopez fight wherein he was really into the fight early and wanted to show what he got in his US fight. Maybe he was very complacent or under estimate Haney and didn't know how difficult it is to fight these kind of fighters.

So in other words, jump on him in the very first round, rough, put him in the corner, and then throw volumes and maybe one or two will hit on Haney's chin. And he is not known to have a good chin so chances for Kambosos is still good, just one good hit and see how it goes.

Right? I actually expected Kambosos that he will start strong and as the aggressor but we didn't witnessed an agile and aggressive Kambosos. Don't know why he changed his style even though he already know that Haney is more on defense and technicalities to score, the latter is not a KO specialist too that is why I don't really understand what's holding him not to be aggressive the whole match.

It's not that we set a high expectation for him but he didn't do what he had to do at that fight to at least win some rounds. Haney on the other hand may be smiling inside that time because Kambosos is having the back foot and not him even though he's the one who's more on defense.

We cannot really blame them because having a fight with Canelo will also mean that your pockets will balloon because of the revenue that the fight can generate.
More on the money side, Canelo is a magnet when in terms of viewers. like what you have said, fighting Canelo will ensure you with a huge amount of money inside your pocket, no doubt about the very reason why promoters really love brining him in the ring.

Quote
Also, because of that fact, Canelo is already viewed as a trophy that they'd risk to get because defeating Canelo will indeed lift their names but unfortunately, defeating Canelo is hard to do and only a handful of boxers managed to do it.

After Bivol beats Canelo, his name now is on the top, simply agree with that trophy thing, a big exposure for Bivol after winning.

Indeed! They won't be showcasing Canelo if his presence in the ring won't fill the promoter's pockets, he's been one of the few favorites because giving him a fight also meant that the organizers and promoters will have millions of dollars, guaranteed! Canelo probably knew that fact and surely he loved it.

Yes, as I have said, Canelo winning against GGG proved his greatness again, so even Eubanks who is campaigning at 160 is calling Canelo now, or Benavidez, who also wanted the fight and says that Canelo is avoiding him. And then you will hear noises saying that Benavidez has a fighting chance because he is younger than Canelo, but we will see. No one has really put a dent on Canelo's chin, even Bivol at 175 lbs can't crack Canelo's chin. So it will be very hard from anyone in the 168 lbs to break Canelo at this point. He is still in his prime, so the best move for him is Bivol, he just need to win his fight against Ramirez to set it up next year for his biggest payday.
I think I don't have the same expression because I already expected that Canelo will win the fight, I mean, he have the most advantages than Golovkin. Surely he will do everything to avoid getting defeated twice in a row especially this time that his foe is already on the verge of his retirement.

Well, those stated names above can try their luck in going against the current Canelo Alvarez but I don't think there's any boxer that can defeat him for now in his most comfortable division.

I really do think so too that Canelo has the higher chance to win against Golokovin in this third match. Canelo has showcased his talent and skills numerous times already and I'm sure he will exceed the performance he already has given before to get this win and to of course, get the title, the prize, and bring honor to his loved ones especially his fans.

The odds of Canelo winning this fight is significantly higher than that of Golokovin's. Although for sure this won't be an easy fight to Canelo Alvarez since certainly, Golokovin will make sure to prepare for this to win as well. Perhaps a unanimous decision will be made for this game and not really a knockout because both fighters are good and skilled enough, in par with each other's strengths and power. Let's just see whether who among the two will bring home the bacon. But I am for Canelo in this game and I do hope Bivol will win his respective fight so that the looked forward rematch of them will happen.

Yes, that is already expected and indeed it happened, Canelo won against Golovkin in their trilogy recently. I bet nobody was shocked by the outcome because people already know the odds of Golovkin and his chances in defeating the prime Canelo is much more lower now compared to their first two fights because of the age factor. But Golovkin still deserves credits because I didn't really expect that he can still keep up with Canelo's movements and punches at his state now.

For Canelo and Bivol's rematch, I think that will be happen early next year because Beterbiev is currently injured that's why his title defense fight was postponed. That said, an undisputed fight might happen somewhere 3rd or 4th quarter next year.
2680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 21, 2022, 06:27:13 PM
Yes, hopefully, we will expect a 100% conditioned Jerwin in the rematch, again, no more excuses or what not. They have narrow it down but went wrong during the first fight. So it's just a matter of careful planning and adjustment. He was the clear favorite, and I think he will still be slight the betting favorite in the rematch. He should be around his fighting weight by now, it's just 3 weeks and probably getting as much as sparring as they can.

Well they should. They already focused on that in this preparation and not doing workouts that much.

If after all that Jerwin Ancajas will still lose after that serious preparation, it does mean that Martinez is really at the highest level.

Ancajas should moved up now.

If that will indeed happen soon then yes, I also agree with that, Ancajas has no reasons to stay in super-fly and he should move to bantamweight to test his skills, that way he will not having some struggle on his weight again but the catch is he have to defeat the challenges in bantamweight. Anyway, I still believe that Ancajas and his team can make it work so that the Filipino boxer can settle his score against Martinez.
