Maybe it's really too much of superstars in the line up, experienced and old but not contributing as well as expected like WB and Carmelo.
It's not too much, an NBA player is called a superstar if he is talented enough, without the proper guidance, a player will never be effective, so what I'm seeing here is the problem not coming from the player's side, it's from the coaching side. Coach has a major responsibility to make the team better, he has the talents needed to win a championship but he was not able to utilize them effectively. Maybe some people have a different view, some blamed a player or players, while some blame it solely on the coach, whatever their opinion, it will not help to make the Lakers great this season, they have been struggling with very little improvement, so I think their chance is pretty low. |

If in case, this will be another upset. That would be a terrible one for Spence Jr.
But in this fight, Spence Jr has a lot of advantages over Ugas.
This is why we are seeing that people are favoring Spence Jr over Ugas.
I believe even bookies will favor Spence here once they release the odds.
But would be interesting to watch as they fight for these unification belts.
Looking forward to that upset honestly  I mean, what will be the reaction of the boxing community if Ugas will able to upset the heavy favorite Spence Jr. It's a news that mostly won't be expected by anyone knowing Ugas is considered as a bonus round for Spence. But the fact that Ugas defeated Pacquiao, I really considered it as a good achievement and not taking the reason that Pacquiao is already old. It's a bullsh*t reason for me that Ugas got that win because of that reason. It will send another shockwave in the boxing community and in this division as everyone is jockeying for the position as the top dog. So if Ugas wins then definitely, he should be recognized as one of the best and he only have Crawford to defeat to claim the title of being the top 1 in the division. Although Thurman is coming back, he doesn't have any belt so no bargaining power for him. He could fight Ugas but he should be the B-side then. That will probably put Ugas at the top 1 as he will be holding multiple bet if he wins this fight. Crawford on the other hand would be happy as he only has to fight one fighter and will become a unified champion. Thurman is also willing to challenge the champion if he wins in his upcoming fight, so if Ugas will win here, he has a lot of option to fight with. There's no reason he will not be in the number 1 as he would be holding 2 belts that time. Crawford would surely be interested to fight Ugas as he would think he can beat Ugas since he beat the guy who beat Ugas, and that is Shawn Porter. If we see the fight of the best of the best, that would really be a big treat to the fans as we will see who will be the undisputed champion. |

If there will be unification fight that will happen in the future,
There is one, the fight between Spence and Ugas is a unification fight. Ugas is currently the WBA welterweight champion while Spence is the WBC welterweight champion. reference : https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/541777 .. https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/629465_____________ Crawford is just waiting because he is the current WBO welterweight champion. |

If he gets a lot of followers, then that's another income for him. Most of the celebrities now have youtube channels already, and I think Casimero already considered himself a celebrity in boxing because he is a champion and he wants to be an undisputed champion in his division if given a chance to fight with his fellow champions.
He knows that, an extra income plus extra exposures to him. He understands the value of streaming in his career, not to the point of comparing but like what you have said celebrities have their own video streaming channels not limited to YouTube but all those available platforms, if he can use this platforms to call or to attract more fans, it will be easier to him to gain the attention of Inoue and his camp. he can bring more trash talks and force Inoue's fans to bring the attention to him,. We know how smart Casimero in terms of attracting everyone's attentions..   Not only smart in marketing his fight but also very smart in the ring, that's maybe the reason why Inoue still has not accepted the challenge because of the chances that it could ruin his undefeated record. This year should be the year for a big success of Casimero, just one fight with Inoue and we will see the biggest fight in bantamweight division. |

There is half an hour left for the game that is Cleveland Cavaliers v Brooklyn Nets. There is some bad news for Nets as Irving and Durant both are injured now and will not play. This means that the responsibility is on James Harden mostly. And they are going to face a very difficult opponent also. Because Cavaliers have been winning for four games in a row. We see them having only one less win than Nets and at the sixth place in the conference now. Nets defeated them once in this season and in this court by 117-112. And they might do this again.
Durant's injury might be crucial for the success of the Nets. Hopefully everything is alright with him and he will come back soon. Kevin Durant (left knee sprain) set to undergo MRI, while Brooklyn Nets 'hope for the best outcome'He's been the MVP for the team, without him the Nets chances of winning the championship is probably not so high because Irving and Harden might not have a good chemistry. Without Durant, Cleveland will win this game. |

That sounds new to me, most of the platforms I joined are just betting forums, they have some members who are sharing tips and they have good records, I just follow and that's it. About the reward thing, I'm not sure if there's some platform that do exist, it would be nice if there's one so successful tipster will be rewarded for his/her generosity.

I wonder what the imports are doing now lol. This long break is not their usual. I mean, they like to play and play no matter what. It's like their time is being wasted here in the country as nowhere to do but to chill and relax. They are surely bored now since PBA has no update yet when to return. The expectation for NLEX to reach the Finals of this conference is getting longer.
yeah, there's no news regarding the import, maybe they have already gone back to their country because the chance of the PBA season to resume is very dim. Sorry to say, but since the cases argrowing fast, I'm not expecting a resumption soon. Yes right, but if the Staff of PBA decided that all the imports will be back to their respective country I think that's a good decision in order to prevent them from illness/prevent them from missing their family too. Cause if they are still here there's a chance that they will get infected from this omicron cause we all know that it is very speedy in terms of spreading. They will be infected but that doesn't mean they'll suffer from it, they have a high immune system so probably they can resist the effect of the virus. It's all up to the management now and the team owners if they will stop the season and send the imports to their homes. here's the logic, if they'll send the imports back, then consider the season cancelled already. |

It's really interesting as where Simmons will go, I guess some of us wanted to see him play this season.
We are about to find out soon, hopefully in a team that has a chance to be in the playoffs so we will see him play against his former team and I would be happy if he can prove them wrong in making a decision to trade him. With a talent like his, he deserves to be in a good team and I hope that will happen so soon. Well its good if some playoff contender team will get him, nevertheless a losing team this season will not be bad for Ben, as long as he can play. Then start a clean slate next season with a new team, form a bond during off-season and then proved that the Sixers make a bad decision (although Ben has partly to blame with his current situation with the team). His talent will be wasted if he will not play in a playoff team, the real test is in the playoffs, he needs to improve in the playoffs so he can tell the people who are still criticizing him that he has matured and he has become a clutch player. The problem is, people always look at one mistake without seeing what Simmons can do in a team in all ends. |

Thurman is sporsbet guy? There is no contest to that yet but I think because he is already in the division before Barrios climb up making him look as if the challenger. 2.24 is like undermining Barrios skills. Although he will be adjusting the body weight, Barrios is younger and eager to prove in this class while was off the grid from some time.
Yeah, Thurman is the favorite but you can also choose Barrios if you feel he will win the fight. He got some skills that's why he only has one loss and that is against Davis which is a knockout puncher. Thurman is a mature guy in boxing and he also has a good KO percentage, so it's really up to you to weigh things and decide what fighter you'll put your bet. |

Russell is not a KO artist for me, 31 wins and 18 of them are from KO. Well, maybe he is strong but Magsayo is also strong and hungry for a win. A boxer who is very active and chasing his dream, it's worth betting for because he will certainly give everything to win, and if he fails, at least we will not regret as we support our Filipino boxers for his campaign to be a champion.
If that was the case, then Magsayo have some more percentage to win this fight if he will be able to unleash his skills and prove to everyone that whenever he fights some good boxers, he is also improving. As we can see there are only a few who can do that but who knows? maybe we are watching one of them who will gonna become a big star in the future. He just needs to beat Russel and he needs to beat him with clean K.O or technical K.O since they will be in his homeland where he will have the advantage when they reach the fight to the judge's scorecards. This is what Magsayo needs to be careful about. As he is fighting in his opponent's homeland, he needs to clearly satisfy the judges. Otherwise, the tendency to favor Russell here is always there. Hope to see Magsayo gives a clean KO so judges will not think twice about their decision. This will be a great achievement for him if in case he will pull an upset. Only few days from now and we will see this fight. I don't think that Magsayo needs to be careful in this fight, I mean he has nothing to lose here. So he might as well go all out and make it a war against Russell. Of course this is not is hometurf, nevertheless I think the judges should be fair enough to call him the winner if indeed he will be the close victor in this fight. Definitely a clean KO would be good and we all wanted that to see, but if it goes to the judges hand he can also have a good chance to win. Perhaps what he meant is that Magsayo should be aware that it is possible that he might lose in the judges scorecard specially if it is very close as usually the judges score it for the champion during close fights. So Magsayo should know that at he back of his mind specially going on the championship rounds. So he need to show more aggressiveness or teeth to sway the judges to score those close rounds to him and maybe he can escape with the decision. Well, Magsayo is the challenger, he should be the aggressive, he cannot win if he cannot convince the judges but the better way to convince them is to KO Rusell, that's hard to do but it's possible if he study his opponent and train hard for this fight. |

The Lakers lost by 37 points, and I would even say they were destroyed by the Nuggets. LeBron scored 25 points, Westbrook scored 19 points and had 0 turnovers, and even Howard played in the starting lineup. However, it doesn't matter since Jokic made a triple-double in this match, and the Lakers couldn't handle him.
Actually, I think the Lakers needed a beatdown by 50. you know, they were just standing in the defense, no spirit at all. If you look, they had Frank Vogel, the best coach, But now it wasn't enough. The match was really frustrating to watch as a Lakers fan. It was almost like LeBron James vs the Nuggets match. On the other hand, Nuggets had 32 assists against 21 of Lakes. It really shows the team effort. Lakers are always exposed every time they play a good team or a playoff team. Sometimes they'll have some winning streak but only against a weaker team and we should not be misled by what they show because they are as a team are messing up this season. How could management have so quickly dismembered and dismantled a world championship team? This is the worst defeat of the Lakers ever to Denver. Very bad defense from Lakers. I mean some years ago they lost at home with Lebron James elegantly on the bench waiting for the LA Derby against the Clippers two days later They've done the wrong decision on trading their key players for Westbrook, they have a big 3 but it's not working as one could either be injured and the other are not synching to the system of the Lakers. They are in trouble this season, not sure if they can still fix that big problem. |

It's been cleared already, the fact that the WBO did not strip his title, that clearly tells that his excuse is valid to postpone the fight and give him another opportunity to defend his title. So sad that some people are still speculating despite the fact that the issue are alraedy cleared.
Yeah, we should stop speculating as this fight will happen, it's not canceled but only postponed. Casimero is still the favorite and I think he will still win this fight and the bookies won't be wrong of making him the high favorite to win the fight. It's the first time I saw some people's reaction about doubting Casimero, but I'm sure he will prove that he deserved to be a champion and to have a chance to challenge Inoue in a unification fight. Its good that the decision of WBO is in favor to Casimero, its time for recovery process so he can go back to the ring and defend his title. He still the favorite because he’s a good one but if he fails to have fight Butler again, it can really affect his reputation. A champion never quit, Casimero should come back stronger and be more healthy. He understands that this kind of opportunity does not happen twice in a row, it's either he will make it to the fight or wait for the WBO to finally strip him of the belt. Butler should not be a threat to him, but it's a mandatory fight for him so he has to take care of it before aiming for a bigger business with a probable unification fight. If it will happen twice then probably Casimero has to not just give the belt but also retire in boxing as he is not fit anymore. Of course, the WBO will give him ample time to recover, and if within that period he still cannot recover, they'll not wait for a longer period of time and award the belt to the new champion. |

Thurman has never been KO in his career, though he got knocked down by Pacman he continued and he even gets stronger in the later rounds that always result in a victory, unfortunately, he lost via split decision and that was really close. Thurman has power and good stamina, if he stays disciplined after a while of inactivity, then we can assure that he will win here, probably via KO.
Yup, he almost win that fight. If he didn't get that early knock down, that split decision might have a different outcome. He fought well and if he continue to have that same discipline with his body, conditioning is not hard for him to bring that stamina back, it's interesting to place some decent bet for Thurman he still have that good edge since he just rest for a while but it's the same ground where his feet originally standing..  And he will do everything to win again. It's an exemption fighting Pacman, now that the legend is out and earns the best experience in his career already, it's time for him to come back and start dominating again, giving the top-ranking welterweights a real challenge. |

I'm taking it, it's a decent odds considering Thurman is a decent fighter as well. I can get 1.64 odds from another sportsbook as my account is entitled to a price boost, so that makes it more attractive. Good luck to us who believe in Thurman, hopefully, he will win this fight.
Boosting is another great way to increase your odds, and you are right, Thurman's fans will probably bet for him, Believing that he still that passion with this sport. That's why he's now back and ready to fight. I would check that and if I have a spare budget, I will also place some bet for Thurman. I still believe that he can beat Barrios as he doesn't have to adjust that much, only needs to prepare with his old routines and start increasing his stamina. Thurman has never been KO in his career, though he got knocked down by Pacman he continued and he even gets stronger in the later rounds that always result in a victory, unfortunately, he lost via split decision and that was really close. Thurman has power and good stamina, if he stays disciplined after a while of inactivity, then we can assure that he will win here, probably via KO. |

But probably they'll earn more if they are consistent in the Finals and of course more if they win the Finals. So maybe some players prefer to stay in the PBA despite the huge offers outside because they might be assured of their security in the future rather than playing outside where a player could only get a short term contract and of course high pressure since they are one of the imports.
This could be scenario and that’s why every team is doing their best to go the finals since it is more rewarding for them to reach that position and also that could boost their morale. Some players are not allowed to play to other league though, that’s why they are staying with PBA and of course if they leave, they might not be able to join again. When this lockdown ends, hoping to see more new players to come in PBA. That's always the scenario, every season there are new players added in the PBA as they are drafting players, but those players who are playing with Japan's B-League, I guess it will take time before they can come back especially if they are playing well in that league as the salary gap is very huge, they'll prefer to stay for sure. |

Both of them has something to proved, Spence wanted to remain on top of this division, while Ugas wanted to show that his win is no fluke against Pacman.
And this is a great style matchup, both can be aggressive and can also play defensive and then be a counter puncher so this is really a great fight in paper although Spence will be the favorite but it will be more closer that we anticipated it to be.
Yes you are right there mate this two fighter want to prove that they are the best in their division . If spence will win this match then it makes sense that Spence is still undefeated and the best. But if Ugas will win this match I think that's the time that Ugas will be known in everywhere cause this fight is the one of those biggest fight of ugas sense spence is undefeated and very popular in the world of boxing. Fans would want Spence to win so the big fight between two undefeated champions will happen, that will be a big fight in the boxing world if we will see spence vs Crawford, and now that Crawford is not anymore under the Top Rank promotion, the likelihood of it happening is very close. |

And the Lakers lost again! lol the best recruiter in the looks like he's going to for a new talent coz their bigs are useless
Should've taken Cousins for that 10 day contract and tried him out. Now Nuggets will be have a stronger defender below the rim. Lakers streak was broken and this tells they are not the caliber we are expecting, yet. It could've ended worse in a blowout game at 20 points upward of a lead from the Grizzlies but thanks to the 2nd team led by Austin Reeves it was cut down creating a 17-0 run. They thought it was over but he pumped the fans in Crypto.com Arena by giving them hope. I thought Frank Vogel is going to switch to his stars but thank God he didn't. Those guys deserves to stay in the game and finish it on their own. I expected this to be an even matchup but seems like the Grizzlies are far better than them. If you look at both the squads, the Lakers are stacked with top-tier star players but they lack a whole lot of chemistry. But if you look at the Grizzlies, they play really well as a team and it shows on the court. As always LeBron had a great match - scores 35 points but he didn't get the support he needed from his teammates. This is very disappointing, they need to fix what's wrong asap. If you look at the distribution of points between the two teams, the Grizzlies did a great job compared to the Lakers. For the Grizzlies, they have the following playing with a big contribution. Jackson Jr. 21 Anderson 14 Morant 16 Bane 23 Konchar 12 Clarke 14.. While the LA Lakers, only a few players scored a double-digit. James 35 Reaves 16 Horton-Tucker 13 Ellington 16 West "broke" 6 points. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? https://www.covers.com/sport/basketball/nba/boxscore/251159 |

In just a few hours we will leave the year 2021 and enter the year 2022 which will probably have so many challenges in life, as well as in the world of boxing, we will see there are some pretty dancing boxing matches in 2022, including: 6. Josh Taylor vs Terence Crawford - WBO welterweight title Source : Local Media
I'm surprised to see this Josh Taylor is a good and a versatile boxer but Crawford is just too much for him, the one fight Crawford should go for and fans want to see is the Spence fight, this is a mega fight and a legacy fight, there's even a possibility that they can do a trilogy, both fighters are very even in speed, power and ring generalship, Josh Taylor will be an underdog if the fight with Crawford push through. Spence will fight Ugas, and Crawford will fight Taylor. If both of them will win then they might set up this big unification fight and everyone will be excited about that. So who do you think is the favorite if a Spence vs Crawford fight will eventually happen in the future? |

It's mostly happened just the same with Bucks against the Hornet where Giannis and Middleton are both playing but hornets managed to beat them up, a very good way for bookies to trap the bettors, still in a regular season and the sway of every game is tough to predict. Moving to your update, it's interesting and exciting to watch for Klay to play again. It's really something that fans will be excited to watch, now we will see how Warriors current rotations will adjust with Klay playing again.. Yes, Klay Thompson is back and we will now see if our expectation is right or wrong. I'm checking on the players' props but could not find his name. Probably the bookies did not add his name yet as he wasn't expected to start with a heavy minutes. you can check the odds https://duelbits.com/sportsbook/match/28808316-Golden-State-Warriors-vs-Cleveland-Cavaliers |
