Toughness, screens, defense and contesting shots cannot be found in the stats. Miami Heat may have drafted a young big man but it's a whole new level when it comes to the playoffs.

Personally if I am Miami's manager, I cannot match Philly's offer too. Tucker might be worth $11 million next season and perhaps in the 2023-2024 too but it is hard to commit with that amount in 3 years contract due to his age. But I cannot call Daryl Morey's offer absurd knowing they spent more years together with James Harden. And Embiid wants Tucker too.

We can just agree to disagree with each other but I doubt Miami Heat reaches conference finals again with its current remaining roster. They need another reliable additions.

Day 7 Hulanysis

May possible whole day na lakad bukas kaya lalapag na tayo ng hula para bukas. Pwede pa makapasok itong Rain or Shine sa playoffs pero kailangan nila higher win rate percentage from now on. On the other hand naman, itong Meralco hanging din sa ranking. So it will be a battle of who want it most.

Meralco Bolts -4.5

Pass sa second game. Obvious naman na tambakol lately itong Tira-tira Dyip pero kasi sistah yung kalaban. Di nako magulat nito kung hindi macover ang spreads.

Hello everyone. Done updating with my signature. Cheers!

Personally I never liked using play money when gambling. I felt like I am just wasting my time. Although I can understand that it may work on some people though hence some casinos have them. But for me, I would rather spend even if it's only a very small amount of money just to satisfy my crave to gamble. I remember when I was in college, I still went out to gamble despite limited money at that time. I exited later in less than 30 minutes after losing.     

Of course he was. Tucker though getting old, he is a just a perfect player in his own game. A huge inexperienced rookie is nothing compared to a veteran like Tucker with many years in the playoffs including his championship experience. The guy is just too tough, a good passer who can also set up plays, he can defend and he can shoot. I expect Miami to look for a reliable replacement in his position.



I am doubtful on MPJ. I felt like he is just a hype and he cannot fill it once given a primary role. Anyways, I hope they all look healthy next season so we can see how it goes.

I thought nobody is going to talk about the current questionable performance of LGD. LGD is currently top 1 in DPC points and is already secured a place in TI even if they will not join this last major in Arlington. So this is indeed very very surprising from LGD right from the start. We can take a look at LGD's only two victories and they are against no-hoper teams.

   

Looking at the current overall DPC rankings. Only LGD and Team Aster are in the top 12. But Team Aster's 640 points is not enough to qualify in the TI. Team Aster needs to participate in Arlington in order to gather more points. EHOME is actually ranked 31 with 51 points. The rest have zero points at all.

I expect LGD not to qualify in Arlington. So they will lose its last 2 remaining games or maybe they can win the last one so long as they are already sure not to enter the top 4 once this elimination is done. It won't be logical to say that these Chinese teams are collaborating each other because they could have pushed Team Aster to top this eliminators in order to gather 1,140 points which is like over 90% chance to enter the TI. So most likely it is only LGD's doing something weird to let the other 4 Chinese teams to qualify in Arlington and gather points for the TI.       

We can also speculate a lot with Mayweather's personality, his deep connections and influence in PBC. It is really possible that Bud already joined Mayweather Promotions secretly and might tell the public only when the fight is deal or after the fight. Or maybe Bud told Mayweather to help set up the fight against Spence. And if he can do the job then Bud will sign under Mayweather Promotions. Or maybe Mayweather is just talking to get some attention because he is scheduled to have another exhibition match. There's actually a lot of people talking with regards to the ongoing situation like Swift Garcia another PBC fighter.

Nako sinwerte lang ako diyan mga lodi. Kumbaga bullrun lang siguro dito samin ngayon kaya sana hindi maabotan ng bear season.

Ganda sana PBA pag matino lang at hindi kurakot ang management. Imbes na payagan rival companies at businesses para maging totoo talaga ang rivalries ay pinagbabawal pa. Imagine kung pwede pa. Baka pagandahan na sana line up ngayon; Globe vs Smart, Pepsi vs Coke, Unilever vs Procter and Gamble vs Johnson & Johnson, BPI vs BDO vs Metrobank. Sarap sana. Kung ikaw ba naman karibal na company at business malamang di ka papayag na talunin ka sa kabila.

Boston Celtics- The young team seemed very serious to take the title next year. They just stole Malcolm Brogdon and another reliable experienced multi role Danilo Gallinari. They just lost Theis and some bench.

Brooklyn Nets- KD wants out. Obviously, only few will want to play with injury prone and drama queens Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons.

Denver Nuggets- I am expecting them to make some moves. MVP Jokic needs some help ffs. I felt like they don't deserved Jokic. Jokic is such a very nice guy with some loyalty.

Golden State Warriors- Great move re-signing Looney. Is it cheap for Looney at $25 million for 3 years? Or it is because Looney is just loyal and is obviously very happy in Dub nation? Another savvy move by the Warriors is the signing of Donte DiVencenzo an experienced player from last year champion, the Milwaukee Bucks. Or are these signings possible because the Warriors cannot really afford to retain Andrew Wiggins? They also lost Payton II.

Los Angeles Lakers- Wanted to move Westbrook. I can understand they will risk everything just to utilize Lebron while he is still performing.

Miami Heat- They are doomed if there's no reliable additions with P.J. Tucker leaving.

Milwaukee Bucks- Lost DiVecenzo but acquired Joe Ingles. Fair enough.

Minnesota Timberwolves- Bold move but very interesting. Will their two towers and Edwards uplift Minnesota next season? 

Philadelphia 76ers- Very nice additions. Defensive specialist P.J. Tucker and Daniel House.

Utah Jazz- They seemed rebuilding? They got good future draft picks but they better not waste Mitchell's talent.

This is a rematch between two 4-division champions, WBO champion Kazuto Ioka defending against its former holder and nemesis, Donnie Nietes. The first match happened more 3 years ago in Macau for then vacant WBO super flyweight strap. Though Donnie Nietes won clearly, the scorecards made it a split decision. Donnie Nietes then became inactive and many thought he was actually retired because he was already 37 years old that time. The WBO decided to declare the belt vacant. Kazuto Ioka managed to win the belt and is holding it strong with 4 successful defenses.

The difference in this rematch is that 33-year old Ioka is now the defending champion. Nietes is now 40 years of age. And Ioka will defend his belt in his home turf in Japan.

Kazuto Ioka win-loss record: 28-2-15 KOs
Donnie Nietes win-loss record: 43-1-23 KOs

Minnesota actually wants to get rid of Russell. I also think that Russell is not a good fit in Minnesota. His current contract is even more not worth to keep for Minnesota since he will become only a 4th option with the arrival of 3 time DPOY Rudy Gobert.   

I was very surprised upon seeing Gobert's message, thanking Utah and will now play with the Timberwolves. I knew Utah changed their hearts few months ago and preferred to just keep Mitchell. I just didn't expect of Gobert heading to Minnesota. A lot of thoughts came into my mind. Will Towns and Gobert combo along with Edwards work? Although we saw how Towns developed further his shooting skills, his body is just perfect for a physical type of game.

Nonetheless, this is still a good move by Minnesota rather than relying on their previous roster. Who knows, they will be the one to stop the trending small-ball offense. Both towers are very good team players too so they will adjust accordingly what's needed.

Day 6 hulanysis:

Pass na muna ako sa SMB at may kutob ako na maging dikit ang labanan. Magandang laro din itong Magnolia Hotshots kontra Road Warriors dahil SMB vs MVP teams. Mas maganda win-loss record ng Warriors pero sa line up naman para sakin mas lamang ng slight itong Hotshots. So itong Hotshots ang pipiliin ko at kaunti lang naman ang spreads. Sana tuloy-tuloy ang streak.

Magnolia Hotshots -2.5

I believe Crawford is still a free agent. He doesn't have any promoter now which makes this fight and negotiations very doable. Unless Spence and his team will continue to evade and prolong the negotiations in order to exploit Crawford's age.

Maybe this fight is really happening this year hence the rumors. Only remaining stuffs to settle probably the location and sharing or profit.   

Our current ppv king is Canelo. Spence is very very very far from becoming a ppv king. He's not even second nor third. Even Tank Davis fighting nobodies are matching Spence ppv buys.

Team Secret needs to win their last two remaining games and they can qualify to Arlington. And their performance in Arlington decides their TI fate.

Looking at the schedule. Team Secret really has a serious chance to still qualify in Arlington. Team Liquid will be underdogs against OG and around 50/50 against Entity. Team Secret will be very much affected by the last games of Team Liquid and goonsquad.

Ginebra

Unless you only want to use bitcoin or ethereum. Comparing where to play between a bitcoin and an ethereum casino is not that logical to me. The best thing to do is to find a reliable casino that accepts many coins so you can have many choices when networks clogged and once fees will run very high. And if you want stability with your money then you can also use usdt, busd, usdc and some other stable coins.



 

Most of us are really hopeful that bull run happens earlier than this 4-year cycle. Last year I planned on selling my bitcoin savings before the start of 2022 and will just buy back in late 2023. But I haven't. I convinced myself that things might be different this time. We have El Salvador and maybe some more countries this year or in few years. Adoption is bigger than before. We also have web3 and NFTs which also started in the gaming industry.

The current war in Ukraine and world crisis damage a lot of nations economies which lead to diminishing currency values and plummeting its stock markets. All of these make bitcoin becoming more viable and acceptable as a currency and as an investment.     

Ngayon ko lang na-realized na MVP group pala itong NLEX Road Warriors. Late nako nakapag hulanysis dahil nanood sa panunumpa ng ating bagong pangulo and then later on na-tempted manood ng world history na gawa sa Kings and Generals sa youtube. So ang aking nag-iisang pick ngayon ay ito na lang muna. 

NLEX Road Warriors -3.5

Gusto ko rin sana manalo yang Blackwater kaso mukhang babawi yang Meralco dahil sa talo nila dati.

It is science mate. It is a fact that most boxers downfall started in mid 30s and so on. Technical fighters like Mayweather jr. and BHop have better career longevity whereas most brawlers like Israel Vasquez, BamBam Rios and Margarito succumbed earlier.

Although I do not agree with that one judge favoring Thurman. It was a close fight. If Manny didn't score a knock down it would have been a draw or even in favor of Thurman. And that was the Thurman that just came back from boxing after years of inactivity. The same Thurman that nearly lost to a gate keeper on his return bout. Prime Pacman would have easily destroyed that poor version of Thurman. 

GGG's face reacted like he's in pain when Murata landed solid blows. Compared that to the younger version of GGG. He seemed not even affected after receiving heavy blows from knockout artists David Lemieux and Daniel Jacobs.

Yes, I think Volcanovski will win again. Maybe easily if he fights smart and wrestle a bit. I just took the ml 1.52 here. I am not sure about Volcanovski moving down to bantamweight and of course he is too small to try at lightweight too.     

I also do not agree with UFC rankings. There are divisions that are getting boring and it is hard for a new prospect to reach the top ranking for a title shot. Many were given title shots when they're already around 30. Of course there is no accurate system in calculating their rankings. They probably have a panel with marketing/financial analysts included.

I like how Jiri Prochazka was given real fights right away when he joined UFC and a title shot in his 3rd fight. Although he probably get a pass because he is pretty exciting to watch and very marketable. The UFC should do more fights like Chimaev fighting the second ranked contender. It is more exciting and lively.
