Well, seems good news for her and for the US government. Many are following this news but for the meantime, let's go back with WNBAs action and there are too many to discuss on this league aside from news related to Brittney.
I'll make myself comfortable on this league as there's not that much attention before but now, it's gaining that attention from those people in the forum that are not into it before.

Yup! pretty much I will inform everyone about the update on this matter, but in the meantime, there is no disclosure about the arguments and those talks should be in close doors, and when an agreement was made that will be the time the public will know, so there is no Agreement finalized so far, so we need to wait for further news,


Obviously, their games are just nothing compared to the actual NBA where you see real actions and skills. In the WNBA the game is simple, shoot threes rare dunks, and no signature cross-over that could turn the table of their revenue. I rather watch street basketball where I will have real fun rather than watch these girls playing hoops, I think they are better when they have their own specific sports for women rather than imitating men's games.

What do you expect, we can not compare NBA to WNBA, well this is why the NBA season and the WNBA season are not being held at the same, time there will be people that may compare some skills and movement, and all I think we can not compare the two NBA are for men and WNBA is for woman, they can not be on equal footing, you can not expect a WNBA player to be on the League for the boy's basketball because that will never be considered, and I think there are girls or woman that has dreams and wants to play Basketball and be a professional on a league, I think this is just the opportunity for them, and you can not say specific sports for woman, and just saying they should play another sport because they are a disgrace when they play basketball I think that is just racist thinking, we are not in the medieval era anymore, in my opinion, woman are equal to Men and they have the rights to do whatever they want, and play whatever sports they want,



Well, it is good that there are many in the forum that has some interest in the WNBA, because I do, and right now here are the results of my picks today,

Connecticut Sun VS Chicago Sky SCORE 92 - 95 - WIN

It is good to still bet for the Chicago Sky despite the huge odds for the Sun, and even without Candace Parker, Kahleah Copper did a great job in staying in the lead and gaining the momentum in the 4th quarter, pretty much thanks to Azura Stevens for those rebounds, pretty much Connecticut Sun is pretty much tough, and the game was close as the odds for Connecticut Sun are surely higher,

New York Liberty VS Phoenix Mercury SCORE 89 - 69 - LOST

It was a close match in the 1st half of the game, and when the 4th quarter begins it is a different story for the Mercury, and couldn't make a comeback, well as expected Sophie Cuningham and Diana Taurasi did well but they didn't explode as what I have said, and the Liberty had made their score spread to every player and Natasha Howard was on the lead, a lost but it was an OK game for me,

Washington Mystics VS Seattle Storm SCORE 78 - 75 - LOST

This will be the 1st game win of the Washington Mystics against the Seattle Storm, I think it was a close match in the 1st half but the Mystics take an incredible lead in the 3rd quarter of the game and that has made the Seattle Storm pretty much made a hard comeback,

L.A. Sparks VS Minnesota Lynx SCORE 77 - 84 - WIN

Minnesota Lynx from start to finish made a great lead which is why the 4th quarter is pretty much hard to take for the L.A. Sparks, pretty Moriah Jefferson has made a great play with Jessica Shepard's great rebound and defense that their lead is not bothered, while Sparks have struggled in getting a comeback,

~
Their first match was really a fluke and Amanda Nunes really said that she was sick and was struck with Covid was really true, the fight might be a decision but man it was a total dominance for Amanda Nunes, pretty much Amanda Nunes really liked what she has accomplices and pretty happy that the belt was back on her, from striking and takedowns it was accurate and Julianna Peña can not do a thing to Nunes, surely it was a great match for Amanda Nunes getting back her belt,
Amanda Nunes fought really well this time and the only doubt i had in this fight was she changed her team and started her own gym and i was not sure about her preparations and her wrestling was on point in this fight as she was able to take down Julianna Peña at will and was able to control her. But the highlight was the toughness of Julianna Peña, she was knocked down 5 times and still she kept coming back which shows how strong and tough she is when Amanda Nunes was able to stop Holly Holm and Cris Cyborg and many other with her power punches.

I think it was the right decision in following her heart and look at the result, I think because by that making her own GYM she can prepare for her fight personally, or maybe Amanda Nunes is an introvert so she wants peace and quiet and wants a personal space for herself, and after losing the belt it really devastates her, and right now she is making a move by getting her own belt, and as an Introvert, they tend to want to be alone in their personal space more often, and they tend to recharge when there are no people around them and alone, but it is my speculation that Amanda Nunes is an introvert but getting her own GYM really improves her a lot,

Nunes is very forgiving, she could really whack Pena down while she had the chance but let her get up still. She doesn't wanna risk again and gas out. All the bets I made except Moreno that  I got right.

Derrick complains about an early stoppage. But it does look like he fell face first which enough reason for the referee stopped the fight. He couldn't Sergei, he is just as fast like a lightweight.

This time she did it on her own, Amanda Nunes really did it with a safer approach on Julianna Peña that is why it was a decision win, but man Amanda Nunes didn't gas out, and we can now say that their 1st match was a fluke, and Amanda Nunes should not gas out on the first place, but Because of she was sick that night and has covid-19 that she end up blew her cardio away,

2843  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 31, 2022, 06:03:44 PM


He goes up because he knows he can't beat Crawford after being beaten by Spence so he will take a chance and try his luck in a heavier division, Garcia is still good he can still give Charlo a good fight but his chances are not good but we'll see in the Benavidez fight if he can give us a good showing if he losses the fight then it's still for him to hang up his gloves like Porter did when he realized that he cannot keep with the current division where he is comfortable fighting, we'll see after the fight if he will decide to quit, he is pressure to win after that defeat against Spence.

Danny Garcia is looking really sharp with his combination, and Benavidez is not looking really sharp he really does shout when he fights but I think Garcia is not intimidated about it, Danny Garcia really is on point with his punch accuracy and the thing is both fighters are seeing show boating aswell, first was Jose Benavidez but Garcia is looking sharp when he evades those punch from Benavidez when he showboats, but there is no power in Garcia's punches and Benevidez is likely to take all of that and never knockout at all, but this is Danny Garcia first fight for this division so I really can't blame him,


I only heard pa! pa! pa! from Benavidez earlier and it seems he doesn't have enough power to knockout Garcia even though his punches were landing earlier. though Garcia was also not strong enough to quickly end the fight, his stamina and speed are good and I think he was just not used to fighting at this high weight class and it's really hard for him to adjust that's why the fight ended up with the official's decision instead of K.O. he might be ready for another championship fight if he can improve his punches powers in one more fight before that.

It seems that both fighters don't have the strength to knock out one another, and it seems that Jose Benavidez Jr.'s shout was really annoying for me it seems unnecessary to shout like that, but yeah it seems he is used to it, I think it is now a mannerism for Benavidez to be like that shouting while punching, Well shouting is very Typical for fighters when they are executing their punches or kicks but for Jose Benavidez Jr. his shout was kind of in a weird way,

But anyway Danny Garcia is proven the winner by getting as many punches as Benavidez, surely a dominant fight from him, but he can not knockout his opponent because of lack of power, he should have train it first and show it on his next fight,

Just keep us updated through this thread if there are news and updates that you've seen about her and that issue. If WNBA decides to let her go and won't allow her to play anymore.
There's nothing she can do but let's all wait with all of those assumptions until the trade has come and she'll be freed.

I will keep you all updated about what will happen to Brittney Griner in the previous news the Russian Foreign Minister is ready to Discuss with the US Government and furthermore there is no other news about it,



And right now here are my picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are my picks

Connecticut Sun VS Chicago Sky

Stake odds for this game are 1.41 for Connecticut Sun while 2.70 for the Chicago Sky, Right now Bria Hartley and Jasmine Thomas are out for this season because both have a knee injury, but for Chicago Sky, Candace Parker is a bigger loss to them and can not play against the Connecticut Sun, but they need Emma Meesseman to fired up again because in some game she is not very consistent, but I think I will risk with the Chicago Sky for this game that juicy odd is really tempting,

New York Liberty VS Phoenix Mercury

Stake odds for this game are 1.90 for the Liberty while 1.80 for the Mercury, for Liberty Michaela Onyenwere and Betnijah Laney can not play tomorrow while for the Mercury Diamond DeShields, and Kia Nurse still can not play for them, and Brittney Griner because of personal issue, because she is still on Russian prison, but for me, I may go with the Phoenix Mercury for this game, I think they can pull up a nice space for them to get a win if Sophie Cuningham and Diana Taurasi explode against the Liberty,

Washington Mystics VS Seattle Storm

Stake odds for this game are 1.64 for the Mystics while 2.12 for the Storm, right now Mystics don't have any injuries, while the Storm has Mercedes Russell out for the season, for this game I liked Seattle Storm's 2 recent victories against the Washington Mystics and I guess they can do it again, so my pick will be the Seattle Storm,

L.A. Sparks VS Minnesota Lynx

Stake odds for this game are 2.08 for the Sparks while 1.67 for the Lynx, right now for Sparks they got Lexie Brown that can not play for the game tomorrow, while Rae Burrell is out, and is unknown when she will be back and the Minnesota Lynx have Jessica Shepard that can not play tomorrow, while Damiris Dantas and Napheesa Collier is out and doesn't know when they may come back, for me, it is a juicy odds for the L.A. Sparks so I may risk this one and go with the Sparks, so my pick will be the L.A. Sparks,

Well, I am not going to bet for the Indiana Fever VS Las Vegas Aces because it is not profitable, and for me, Las Vegas Aces will win this game,
2845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 31, 2022, 11:24:28 AM
I was happy with the result of my picks my bet was not so happy with it, but man what a fight UFC 277 was, and here is the result of my picks

Julianna Peña VS Amanda Nunes ROUND 5 DECISION - WIN

Their first match was really a fluke and Amanda Nunes really said that she was sick and was struck with Covid was really true, the fight might be a decision but man it was a total dominance for Amanda Nunes, pretty much Amanda Nunes really liked what she has accomplices and pretty happy that the belt was back on her, from striking and takedowns it was accurate and Julianna Peña can not do a thing to Nunes, surely it was a great match for Amanda Nunes getting back her belt,

Brandon Moreno VS Kai Kara-France ROUND 3 KO/TKO - WIN

It was an Amazing fight these two really brawled hard, Brandon Moreno was really something accurate on punches and kicks, and that last kick he did to Kai Kara-France really dropped him, and then Moreno made a combo with a barrage of punches to Kara-France and after the fight, it was a lot of respect for both fighters with that I really want to see a rematch between this two if possible,

Derrick Lewis VS Sergei Pavlovich ROUND 1  KO/TKO - WIN

Derrick Lewis might have lost this but he still has contracted with Popeye's but many many are saying that this is an early stoppage, but I think it was a clear win for Sergei Pavlovich, if the referee won't stop it, Pavlovich will surely give a lot of damage to Lewis, so I think it was really a good decision to stop the fight Derrick Lewis is down and the referee was really looking out for Lewis, and I think that is why it was really safe to fight on UFC,

Magomed Ankalaev VS Anthony Smith ROUND 2 KO/TKO - WIN

Magomed Ankalaev is a monster from striking to ground he surely has dominated Anthony Smith, I really think this is a good fight for Ankalaev, making his way up the ranks once more, and because of that accurate punches of Ankalaev Smith doesn't know what to do but to give his back and I think Ankalaev can take a submission route from that position but he smash Smith with a ground and pound,

2846  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: July 30, 2022, 11:54:44 PM

There are other threads out there that don't generate as many visits or comments but that doesn't mean that they don't reach certain users, I like soccer, I'm passionate about it, but the fact that I don't write in the MTs doesn't indicate the opposite,  even sometimes I read certain posters.

By the way I like the WNBA, so from time to time if I find myself with a promising odds on a team that I know I have some information on, why not bet a few $.
Then here we are reading to see what information one can to "fish" or learn in the continuity of the thread.




You are right, about that certain thread doesn't really need a lot of users just to keep it going on, and I am really hesitant at 1st, but I don't really care if there will be users who would want to engage in discussion about the WNBA, but still, I think there would be and now after seeing you guys here in the thread, and like you, I like soccer, as well and having a thing for Bundesliga and right now the upcoming season excites me and I am really curious if the new season will definitely change in pace,

Well I am just giving picks on who I think will win, and giving some bets but I don't really like exposing how much I bet so I am not really providing any screenshots, but sometimes if I am really Passionate about the game I think I may, but yeah we can surely share our bet or what we think who would win regarding a game or two,
2847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 30, 2022, 11:08:30 PM
My late picks for the UFC 277: Peña vs. Nunes 2 highlight in green are my picks

Julianna Peña VS Amanda Nunes

Right now stake odds for this fight are 3.20 for Peña while 1.41 for Nunes, making Amanda Nunes still the favorite to win, most people think Julianna Peña's win to Nunes was just a fluke because we'd seen Nunes can really fight longer than 5th rounds, or maybe having Covid might have damaged his cardio, well we will see in this fight if Peña can replicate what she did on their 1st fight, but overall Amanda Nunes is seen on an advantage better stand-up, has the power for me Nunes really is winning on the 1st round so many expected that she will win it, well let's just see if Peña could win again, but I'll be taking Amanda Nunes here,

Brandon Moreno VS Kai Kara-France

Stake Odds for this fight are 1.51 for Moreno while 2.80 for Kara-France, and for this fight I think that Brandon Moreno has the advantage on the standing and the ground in short he is well-rounded, and even though Kara-France has shown some submissions win I think Moreno has a superior ground game, and on the stand-up, he got those excellent reach than Kai Kara-France, he also fought Deiveson Figueiredo 3 times while this is a rematch for them I think Moreno's advantage will surely show, so my pick is Brandon Moreno,

Derrick Lewis VS Sergei Pavlovich

Stake odds for this fight are 2.34 for Lewis while 1.69 for Pavlovich, this fight could be finished in 1 round knowing how Derrick Lewis can but he can not underestimate Sergei Pavlovich because Pavlovich can be a technical puncher, and also brought this fight to the ground, for a ground and pound, but i is unlikely for me I would go to well rounded, So my pick is Sergei Pavlovich,

Magomed Ankalaev VS Anthony Smith

Stake odds for this fight are 1.18 for Ankalaev, while 5.80 for Smith, and in this fight Magomed Ankalaev has a pretty much big advantage on odds, so I might pass on betting on this fight because it will not be profitable, but man both fighters are well-rounded, Anthony Smith has a great Jui-Jitsu but this fight will likely be starting on a stand-up, Anthony Smith has a tendency of giving his a hook punch but for me, Ankalaev will surely be giving smith a hard time with his kicks, and Smith will need to capitalize on that if he wants the fight to the ground but we all know Magomed Ankalaev, pretty much might pressure his opponent with grappling, but for Smith, he can take on Ankalaev for the whole 5 rounds but this is only on 3 rounds and likely Smith will surely not gas out, but I can also say the same with Ankalaev, but we will see, my pick is Magomed Ankalaev, but I am not betting directly for Ankalaev because it is not really profitable so I'll bet on his winning method and rounds so my bet will be a submission win for Magomed Ankalaev on the 2nd round,
2848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 30, 2022, 12:58:49 PM
Here is the final weigh in, both makes the desired weight:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jOehy73TD8

Garcia - 152¾  lbs
Benavidez - 153¾ lbs

Danny Garcia is still the huge favorite in this fight. I will not be surprised if he wins by a late stoppage or even with a knock out win. His left is still will be his favorite go to weapons. And winner of this fight will probably continue with this journey. While the loser will obviously have a hard time getting into the scene again.

Surely Danny Garcia still is the favorite to win here, I think he got the Strenght, Speed, and Experience in getting that advantage in the fight against Benevidez, and this fight will be now, I can not wait to see the fight, If Jose Benevidez Jr. has pulled an upset here I really think Danny Garcia still has some face to show to his fans, while Benevidez Jr, will surely have a difficult time in getting back again,

Well I have to break this news to all Filipinos out there, we have a new champion in Dave Apolinario.

Quote
Filipino Dave "Dobermann" Apolinario (17-0, 12 KO's) goes to East London, South Africa and knocks out Gideon Buthelezi (23-6) in the opening round for a KO-1 victory to claim the vacant IBO flyweight title

https://twitter.com/TimBoxeo/status/1553073773473054721

It was a first round knock out, so proud to hear that at least we have a champion. For sure the future looks very bright for the Dave and hopefully he will continue the torch for Philippine boxing.

That is good news pretty much from the ashes of some lost there will be a Filipino boxer that may rise to give us some way to keeping the fire alive, and even though the IBO title is not a major title it is a championship belt to give for the Filipino community, and Apolinario is still at his 23 years old so there is a huge ceiling to fill up and make it to the top, maybe after a couple of title defense moving up a division,


Though IBO is not so prestigious like the 4 boxing sanctioning bodies but still it is a good start for Philippine boxing to rebound from devastation so with that said, Dave Apolinario is the name to watch out for in the coming years.

Yes, pretty much I will catch all of his fight right and even his training if I could find a video, and even though this is just the beginning it is likely that Dave Apolinario still is not a big name for the Filipino people right now, IBO is not a major belt after all, but I think in due time let's wait and see,
2849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: July 30, 2022, 12:15:49 PM
My first time visiting this thread, I'm glad that we have a WNBA thread, and though I'm not following this league so much with this thread, I become more interested in learning about the league. So anyone here betting on this league? Kindly share your bets to make this thread more exciting to follow.  Smiley

Welcome to the thread, and like you, I am also new to the league and pretty much still familiarizing some players and teams and their skills and I am providing my picks and what I have bet on a particular game, maybe I will post mine if I get interested in such teams because most games in the WNBA is not consistent but surely it is on my own knowledge and used it as a guide only,


Yeah, she may never be the same again but for her coming back she can still play and be with her team again.


I really feel sorry for her, in fact, I am looking for some news if what will really happen and if Biden really will push the prisoner swap, or if the WNBA will keep her playing, even though she still wants to play for the WNBA if the WNBA doesn't want you to play because of bad record but let's wait and see, I will keep us posted if there are Current update on the case,



Here are the results for today's game

Indiana Fever VS Las Vegas Aces SCORE 72 - 93 - WIN

Just like I have said A'ja Wilson has scored more than 20 points today, and she has scored 22 points this time along with Kelsey Plum, and yes I haven't bet for the winning team but I have bet on the Halftime/full-time and it was a bit lost because the Las Vegas Aces have dominated the entire quarter, the 1st half and the 2nd half they have dominated the Indiana Fever, and indeed I may have won my pick but I indeed lost the bet, because it is unpredictable if the Indiana Fever will win a quarter,

Chicago Sky VS New York Liberty SCORE 89 - 81 - WIN

And with this match, I indeed won the picks and the bet as well, and because the odds were slightly increased in this game, I also won my Halftime/full-time with this game, New York Liberty will win on the 1st half, and the Chicago Sky will take the full time and it did, it was really an amazing night,

2850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: July 29, 2022, 07:55:44 PM
^I like the picks but it ain't profitable.
Spreads are -14.5 for the Aces and -10.5 for the Sky. I would just go for the +14.5 for the Indiana Fever instead.

This is good. I was thinking about opening a thread about this too but I was in doubt it will get the support because most of the members here are likely to watch NBA than WNBA.
Perhaps we could make some spark starting with this.

Well, actually I never bet for the Aces VS Fever match and I really don't want to risk a bet for the Indiana Fever aswell, because I think this is a sure win for the Las Vegas Aces, well I should have indicated that I didn't bet on this one, but I have bet on the 2nd game for Halftime/Fulltime, New York Liberty on the 1st half and Chicago Sky on the fulltime, 5.60 for Chicago Sky winning this game,

At first, I was really hesitant in creating this thread, because there might be no people who would like a discussion for the WNBA, but I still made it, and hoped for the best, at the 1st week there are no one posting for the thread, but I think 1 or 2 more weeks have past and likely many are posting in, well not a bad idea posting this thread after all,

2851  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 29, 2022, 06:56:45 PM
Regarding the AB press conference and how he bad mouth Showtime and Al Haymon, he has somewhat back track everything,

https://www.instagram.com/p/CgONGslM5x8/

Quote
Listen man I was just frustrated with a lot of shit that's going on in my life me and @showtimeboxing and Al Haymon have no problems what so ever

He seems to know who is his friends is and who he should attack, Showtime and PBC has been helping him since then, he shouldn't bad mouth those two companies and he knows that it might back fire on him in the future that's why he has to make this apology.

He may feel sorry for a lot of things and I think this is the way he apologizes, he had a long rest after that Manny Pacquiao fight we can not say that his totally back after just one fight that is why this is fight with Omar Figueroa Jr. will settle it, He just got many things inside his head, but I think he's thankful enough for letting him come back again,  I think all the shit on his past he surely feels sorry about it, from thinking and posting on Instagram pictures hinting Suicidal thoughts, from chocking a waitress, knocking out an agitating fan,  sexually assaulting a woman, well maybe he feels sorry about it,

For the fans of Danny Garcia and Jose Benavidez, here is the first face off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU_1RNUxRik

Danny Garcia seems to be relax and just smiling, not sure if he is nervous, but seems to be very happy to be back in the limelight again.

Garcia still the outstanding favorite in his fight, 1.13, Benavidez 5.80.

The over 10.5 is 1.43, under is 2.75.

In my assessment of the video, Danny Garcia's smiling may indicate that he is nervous, and the way he does such things maybe him nervous or I could be wrong because it indicates two emotions, excitement, and nervousness, while Jose Benevidez Jr.'s smiles an evil grin, he surely is calm and collected and really focus on the fight ahead, for this fight I see Benevidez in a different perspective but Danny Garcia is a heavy favorite,

Danny Garcia VS Joseph Benavidez

Stake Odds for this fight were 1.13 for Garcia while 5.80 for Benavidez I think I'll be siding with the heavy favorite, my pick is Danny Garcia,
2852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: July 29, 2022, 05:47:55 PM
I kind of agree with the current betting odds between Julianna Peña and Amanda Nunes rematch but the former champ needs to fight safely this time. Amanda had no respect for Julianna in that first fight as she was showing her braggadocio being reckless in the exchanges. I say the best of Amanda should be able to beat Julianna. In that Ultimate Fighter staredown, I felt like Amanda lost her coolness and was even following Julianna after they left the octagon. Is Julianna living in her head all this time? If Amanda losses her focus once again this Sunday and will once again recklessly trade bombs with Julianna then it'll be a different fight that the betting odds aren't expecting. Though Julianna probably had thinner skin as she got more cuts in that first fight, she obviously got a tougher chin than Amanda.   

Pretty much Amanda Nunes was pressured during their ground fight and Julianna Peña has locked Nunes in a Kimura, Utilizing that to fatigue Amanda Nunes, that is why Julianna Peña inside Nunes's head, doesn't believe that Peña did defeat her, while she is having a dominance on the 1st round, then suddenly the tables have been turned, Amanda Nunes should fight smartly and with a large odds on her side I think people still believe in Amanda Nunes Strenght because she surely has that in the first place, Julianna Peña just executed a great trap for her,



Lol.  That's actually a misconception among people who don't know any better cos here's the thing, Dana can't force any fighter to agree with a match up if they don't like it.  He can't even force a fighter to fight if the fighter doesn't want to.  Diaz agreed to the match up and signed the contract.  The decision is in Diaz's hands.  But what's sketchy about this whole thing is the proposal and how it came to be.  But if Diaz wanted this match up then it's all on him.

Here's the weigh in show in case you guys want to take a look before making your bets.  Smiley

UFC 277:  Live Weigh In Show
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLwOGLnUx1k

It could be because of the money, or Nate Diaz just wants to Brawl that badly, and when he sees Khamzat Chimaev and Gilbert Burns fight he surely wants that kind of fight, the fight that would go down in centuries, even if he lost that match, people will be talking about it, and if that fight went well in his favor and if that fight end up like the Gilbert Burns fight then UFC bonus will be coming in, then Dana White could be happy about the fight but upset for letting Diaz get the bonus, I could be wrong but that is what I could think of right now,

2853  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: July 29, 2022, 04:42:50 PM

Women don't watch basketball to adore the sport, they look at men and appreciate abs and strong men. If the WNBA's uniform will be different like two-piece swimwear, men will flock together in the gym and buy tickets for thier teen kids. Sports athletes' event is a good place to look for your preference. Maybe WNBA will mandatorily require athletes to be sexy and beautiful to have  more support for both men and women.


In my opinion, there are different types of women with different likes and I think the adoration of a woman and another woman is not just intimacy, you can also say that some adoration because she likes how she plays and wants to play just like her, just like Jayson Tatum to Kobe Bryant, Tatum wants the mindset of Kobe and adoring him and one be like him when he plays ball, I really think WNBA doesn't need sexy and beautiful players but if there will be beautiful players that are a bonus, but just like in the NBA talent and greatness in playing basketball is what they are needing,



Here are my picks for the WNBA 2022 tomorrow games

Indiana Fever VS Las Vegas Aces

Stake odds for this game are 7.20 for the Fever while 1.06 for the Aces, for now, there are no injuries for any teams, and Las Vegas Aces have the upper hand with the odds if they are the favorite to win, and the last game for this team it was Las Vegas Aces wins with the score of 90 - 77 a pretty much high Advantage for the Aces, and I think A'ja Wilson from the Aces will score more than 20 plus points again, While Jackie Young is on support, so my pick will be Las Vegas Aces but due to the number of odds for the Aces,

Chicago Sky VS New York Liberty

Stake odds for this game are 1.16 for Sky while 4.50 for Liberty, Right now for New York Liberty Betnijah Laney is said to be the only injured player, and she underwent arthroscopic surgery, On July 24, Liberty won a game against Chicago Sky with 83 - 80 Score, but for now, I think Chicago Sky will take their revenge in this game for me Chicago Sky could win this game, so Chicago Sky is my pick,

Moving to GSW might give him a better chance in winning a ring, I agree that after signing with Portland way back, he already accepted

his new role, he already surrender that alpha thing and a ball hugger mindset. He can adjust and play alongside with anyone now. We

witness how he adjusts to being a role player now. He just need to adjust to his defense since young stars are really doing a damage

when they see good advantage with the matchup. Melo needs to be willing to hear loud scream with Green! Cool

I have seen a video that Carmelo Anthony is the one that destroys the career of Jeremy Lin, but if you have said that he is a changed player now, I surely believe you I recently saw his gameplay, and right now he is not a ball hugger anymore, but for getting him inside the Golden State Warriors I am against it, sorry Melo fans but I guess the Golden State Warriors doesn't really need anymore player right now they are pretty much OK on their own,


It's a win-win for both parties.
Zion will be paid higher when he maintain a weight below 280 and at the same time, he can play better and on the other hand since he can play better, he can boost the morale of the Pelicans and at the same time, make them a title contender.

I think the combination of Zion, CJ and Ingram will be a good one and they played well last season without Zion. I don't know but the Pelicans might be the team that will be surprise many teams in the upcoming season.

Looking forward to seeing these three work together, I think it is the right decision for the Pelicans in letting Williams stay but with a condition to monitor his Weight to be just under 295 pounds, I think it is a win-win for both the Pelicans and Zion Williams he got to get his Contract $193 million max contract, and because his Weight will be monitoring this could also mean healthy lifestyle for Williams,

Borussia Monchengladbach 5 - 1 Hoffenheim
It is not yet really clear for me to know the reason why Borussia Monchengladbach scored Hoffenheim 5-0. Was Hoffenheim sleeping?
From the overview of the March, Borussia Monchengladbach played well in the march more than Hoffenheim. Andrej Kramaric scored the 1st goal for Hoffenheim by 3 minutes of the game. Lars Stindl scored the 1st goal for Borussia Monchengladbach at the 26 minutes of the march after gotten the yellow card for Borussia Monchengladbach. Allasane Plea scored the 2nd goal for Borussia Monchengladbach by 44 minutes, Jonas Hofmann scored the 3rd goal for Borussia Monchengladbach by 45 plus 1 minutes extra time. Breel Embolo scored the the 4th goal for Borussia Monchengladbach by 68 minutes of the march. And the total scored was announced that Borussia Monchengladbach scored 4 while  Hoffenheim scored 1.

 Borussia Monchengladbach had more shorts and ball possession than Hoffenheim.



I think your talking about this match that was on May 4 last season of the Bundesliga, pretty much all of what you have said is in there, well still it is a pretty much decent match for the Monchengladbach, in making a dominant win over Hoffenheim, but pretty much I was curious because the match for Monchengladbach and Hoffenheim will be on August 6,



Pretty much the Start of the next season of the Bundesliga, does Monchengladbach still win with a dominating win or Hoffenheim will make a win this time, because I really think these two teams pretty much have a close match sometimes,


I think for the fact that sadio mene is in Bayern Munich their wont be much difficulties for Bayern Munich,  Robert Lewandowski was a key player when he was in the Bayern Munich,  now that he is no more Mane can cover up his position.  I know of the league starts at the beginning it won't that easy with Bayern Munich to come out with the best performance. With the players Bayern Munich has , the team will be the best in Bundesliga.

It is a hard position for Sadio Mane, Robert Lewandowski is an exception when it comes to talent but Sadio Mane I don't really think he can show his potential yet and may take a bit of time for him to be that great, for now, he needs to stay in rigorous training for the Bayern Munich to reach that kind of level,

Bad Dana. The UFC already earned millions of dollars from Nate Diaz. Nate is already 37 and is inactive for a year. This match is everything wrong for Nate. I won't be also surprised if this ends in round 1 too.     

Every time I hear the name, Derrick Lewis. The first thing that comes into my mind is his free Popeyes' chicken for life. I already had a bet for Pavlovich. Pavlovich though is a brawler and is open for Lewis bombs so I'm hoping for him to fight smart.

Dana White doesn't really appreciate what his fighters have done for him and I will not be surprised if 1 day there will be no fighters fighting for the UFC anymore, because of Dana's way of approach sometimes, and he is biased toward fighters, and it is not really good at all,

Well, Derrick Lewis despite his looks and angry portrayal inside the octagon, I think he is a humble man he doesn't really care if you like him or not, he doesn't care about the tweets, likes, and dislikes he is getting and he even said on an interview that he is more than happy with the popeye's Contract than with the UFC, so that is some words from Lewis,

I don't know why so many people are expecting Amanda Nunes to win easy in upcoming fight with Julianna Peña.
Everyone underestimated Peña in the first fight but she performed amazing as an underdog and I think she can repeat that again.
Amanda is going to win one or two rounds but with this odds I must support current champ to defend the title.
I am expecting great fight and I hope this thing with injuries will stop.

This card is fantastic on paper, we have Brandon Moreno, Black Beast, Magomed Ankalaev and others.
My early bets are Julianna Peña and Derrick Lewis to win in combo.

UFC 277 Pre-Fight Press Conference was just finisihed and you watch in on UFC youtube channel:

We can not blame them for still supporting Amanda Nunes, even though Julianna Pena has won and shown a pretty good match for Amanda Nunes, but we can not take away the dominance of Amanda Nunes in that fight they are really thinking that it was just a lucky win for Julianna Pena getting Nunes gas out on round 2 and for me I still consider Nunes to be the bigger favorite, but Julianna Pena really knows what she is doing,

Unfortunate as it may seem but that's the reality. Some men even compare watching WNBA to buying an inferior product. They would rather choose the best out there if they're going to spend their money.

Well, I can not blame them and I think they are used to supporting the regular NBA more than with the Woman's league, but I am just asking if we can surely give credit and importance to the woman that surely has potential to the sports of basketball, well and just like what I have said that Kobe Bryant little girl (Gigi) Gianna Byrant was inspired of this sports that she promised that she will one day play on it, well rest their souls, if Bryant is still alive I think he will surely support this in any way possible,

Brittney Griner pretty much is in prison on Russian soil, but Biden has announced that he approved a prisoner swap with Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan with Viktor Bout but there are no further details about it,
Let's say the swap occurs, do you think that she'll be able to get back on track on the league?

Brittney Griner will never be the same again, all that moments lost almost 5 months, and after this incident, if she can surely play for the WNBA again, maybe she can, but I highly doubt that time that she has missed is surely a lot, and this incident I think was very traumatic for her as well,





Anyway update to the WNBA right now as I am posting this, the Phoenix Mercury and Los Angeles Sparks, are having a match and they are in the 3rd Quarter of their game, having Phoenix Mercury on the advantage, having Diana Taurasi and Skylar Diggins-Smiths pumping some score for the Phoenix Mercury,

So all of a sudden, Draymond Green becomes the center of attention the last few days. Now there's more. He wants a 4-year max contract extension. This means he will be paid $164 million for the next 5 years or around $33 million per year. His current contract would be $25.8 million for the next season and a player option worth $28.5 million in the following season. Draymond is too full of himself. Although he is a very important piece of the team, he is starting to decline with his low stats performance in the last season.

And Draymond also mentioned that he is willing to explore offers from other teams should the Warriors' management not be interested in a max contract extension. Do you guys think Draymond is worth that max extension? His current stats are not even worth his current contract if I were to say, but I got it, the management do not want to break the team's core.      

Due to their good chemistry, I think he deserves to have a max contract because he is a big part of the success of the Warriors. Though his performance has declined there are some games that he really contributes big to win. It's not only about the stats IMO, it's more about the impact in the team, and we cannot deny that without Draymond, the Warriors defense will struggle.

That is why he won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 2017, and since then he became a key member of the Warriors, I really think the Warriors will struggle if it wasn't for him, I say if the Golden State Warriors can give him his offer, the Warriors should not let Draymond Green leave the team, it is surely heart breaking if the Warriors can not fulfil what he wants,


Unlike with the impact of splash bro, Personally I'll rather choose to give the max contract to Wiggins than him, though it's my opinion and

I'm sure there are many other thoughts about him. He earned a lot of attentions nowadays and with his stupidity and arrogance, it might be very

effective in bringing more engagements to whatever he does. For me, He's a very talkative version of Dennis Rodman, hahaha Grin

There are a lot in Basketball that you will need to know, it is not just dribbling, shooting, and passing the ball, it is very crucial to the team if a player can not defend well, and that is where Draymond Green is good at, you can really never tell that he is a good defender because all we see is player scoring but that is just basic basketball to do to gain score, but in stopping your opponent completely in scoring is just like winning a game, imagine if the Warriors can have 3 Skillful players that have Draymond Greens IQ and calmness in a game I really think the Golden State Warriors opponent will have a less score than them then that is a very Crucial to the team, having good at defense, means you will likely never seen a player like Draymond Green increasing in his stat, and according to statistics Draymond Green really has good stats and having a good output on doing 3 point shots, well, for me, Draymond Green is really essential to the Warriors,

@Slow Death while I agree with all you said I feel that times are changing, because Dortmund made sure that Bayern didn’t get Halland and on top of that they have lost Lewandowski too. Lastly if Dortmund or other teams do not take advantage of Lewandowski absence then this league will become extremely boring, hence I’m hoping that a new team will win the title by the time this season ends.

I am also hoping for a new team to emerge victorious, and I also agree with what you have said now is the time for the other teams to make a move, and try it once again, in getting their hands on championship trophy in the Bundesliga, but surely Bayern Munich is trying their hardest in making an absolute team again by availing well-known players on other clubs, but if the other teams would capitalize by this facts I think we can have a new club to reign as champion and I truly hope so too,

There is a good point in what you said. Smaller teams don't compete harder against the biggest teams in this league for example. Even Dortmund are considered to be one of these biggest teams but they also don't aim to win the league title at the end of the day. In a league like this, it is like there is no way for seeing a different champion than Bayern Munich. This just lowers the quality of a league imo and makes it quite boring. I don't think that this will change in the future easily for leagues like this one.
I also thought like that where the Bundesliga will look more boring when the team that won the Bundesliga in a row for 10 seasons is Bayern Munich, then next season it looks like Bayern Munich will still win the Bundesliga again because several other teams in the Bundesliga still look not so strong to fight Bayern Munich next season.

In my opinion, we can not judge the other teams because they haven't gotten new players for their team, because in training they can discover that 1 of their teammates is likely to have the potential to become the next Lewandowski or Haaland, I also believe the fact that other teams don't really need other players to be in shape, and like the old saying says that Don't judge the book by its cover, we might not see a great chance in their appearance because they are keeping the old players we can definitely see them in action when the next season starts,

Looks like the Biden administration might finally be bringing Brittany Griner home. They’re going to have to trade a convicted arms dealer serving a 25 year sentence for Griner, who once physically assaulted her wife and is now jailed in Russia for being caught with a controlled substance. This will no doubt be celebrated by the WNBA.

I am just exploring the WNBA and upon reviewing this Griner was detained in Russia because of an Illegal Substance on May 15, the USA and Russia have considered a prisoner swap Russia exchanging Griner for arms dealer Viktor Bout, and now on the date July 27, 2022, Joe Biden Approved for a possible Prison Swap this time for Brittney Griner  and Paul Whelan for Viktor Bout an arms dealer who has done 10 years on his 25 years life sentence,

I haven't seen any thread here so I made one, well I think there are not many who wants to discuss the woman's NBA but it is worth the shot,
That's probably because nobody or less than 1% of the sports bettors in this forum gamble on their games. WNBA are not generating enough revenue year on year to sustain the operations and the last time I read anything significant about them was that they're able to raise millions early this year for a business model revamp.

That is very sad, I really think they need to consider when I watched the WNBA, it is likely not like the regular NBA but there are certain talents that you can not miss by watching them and it was s sad that Kobe Bryant's Gianna Bryant pass on, she will be a potential future talent for the WNBA, well if they are going for a business model revamp, I really wish that there would still the same talent as the last time,

I very rarely watch anything to do with the WNBA. I may hear a little local sports news about the Chicago Sky, and I think I’ve heard they’ve had relatively good success these past few years. I am curious, was Britney Griner on a team in the WNBA and just playing off-season over seas or ??

Well, pretty much many people are just not interested in women playing basketball, but I am, pretty much I am delighted with the games and Chicago Sky is the number 1 on the Eastern Conference, right now along with the Las Vegas Aces, in the Western Conference,

Brittney Griner pretty much is in prison on Russian soil, but Biden has announced that he approved a prisoner swap with Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan with Viktor Bout but there are no further details about it,
