Lakers - Warriors game last night was really great. It was a so close and competitive game that Lakers managed to be the winners 103-100. A. Davis-Lebron duo did a really great job. Curry tried his best but his performance was not enough to win the game (37 pts, 7 reb, 3 ast).

He tried his best but it's not enough to help his team or carry the team to win.
It ended up a low-scoring game, so we can tell that defense was really emphasized here.

Curry had    37 points but that was not enough, he just missed his splash brother and we can tell that.

Davis got double-double while Lebron got Triple double, I didn't even notice that as he was not explosive in this game.

Even without his partner, Curry give Lakers one hell of a game. I thought before the game that the Lakers would demolish the Warriors easily but i was wrong. If only Klay have played, Warriors could have been in the top of the standings because even without him they managed to land on a spot they didn't expect.

Watching today's game, it seems that the Lakers will be having a hard defending their crown even with AD and LBJ were back.

Ok after the Nery vs Figueroa fight, we will have another explosive match next week.

Josh Taylor is still the favourite as per betting odds, Figueroa upsets Nery last night, could we see some upset here again?

2883  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Arbitration judge orders Fury vs Wilder 3rd fight on: May 18, 2021, 09:56:47 PM
Just when we were done with the Joshua-Fury negotiation soap opera, now we have this drama with the Deontay Wilder legal case. I don't know if this ruling will be enough to derail the Joshua-Fury fight. Fury can either try to come to an agreement with Wilder and pay a step aside fee or he can just ignore the decision and eventually have to pay a lot of money for a breach of contract.

I don't believe their so-called trilogy will ever happen because of this complicated drama that they created themselves. there are too many negotiations and each party wanted to get the most of the money that this Trilogy produces. You also have Wilder's mentality problem, things are not going to be easy to make this fight happen. I don't know if they will still up to this fight by next year. if that will be the case, then there will be no fruit to their negotiations until one party will accept the offer of the other side.

As for me, the trilogy will happen unless they pay Wilder tons of money to step aside but i don't think Wilder will do that as he will get huge amount in this third fight. With restriction being eased up on some countries, i think they can have this fight with fans in attendance so that it can generate more revenue for this mega drama fight  Smiley.

This is a good read :
https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/guillermo-rigondeaux-vs-john-riel-casimero-who-wins/175755

Their prediction is that Rigondeaux will win, I like to hear from the fans of Casimero, what do you think?

Quote
I’m picking Rigondeaux to score the upset – if you want to call it that – and outpoint Casimero in a damn good fight in August. Then, maybe, Rigondeaux will face “The Monster.”

As to how that fight would go, we must see how much Rigondeaux looks to have left in the Casimero fight, and also see how much this fight takes out of him.

They have a point as Rigondeaux is a technical fighter with a wide experience and he can beat Casimero.

If only this fight was held five years ago then i think Rigo might have won as he was more of a defensive fighter and a technical too, i agree.

But with his age of 40, things have changed and the power and speed that Rigo have diminished with time while Casimero has been through a lot of battles outside of his home country.

As i've said before, Casimero have different style than Donaire. The latter is more of a counter puncher while the former is an aggressive fighter that he will take the fight to his opponent. Rigo will be overwhelm by Casimero when bell rings as he eager to prove to his fans that Rigo will not derail his path to a big fight with the Monster.

Like all of us here, I'm also excited to watch PBA. On the other hand though, SMC teams got stronger but did MVP teams got stronger too and can they compete with the SMC teams with their current rosters?? Hmmm.

With the arrival of coach Chot Reyes, TNT for sure will improved this coming season and i think this gonna be the start of rebuilding on this team. Whatever the shortcomings after the season i think they will focus on that one to improve.

On the other hand, SMC teams, specifically the Ginebra Kings will not be the automatic champion with the arrival of CStand. Remember when he was drafted by SMB, all of us thought that other teams were only competing for the second place as majority of us think that SMB is the automatic champion as the Fajardo-Standhardinger tandem is so strong on paper but it did not convert on the court.

I already locked in my bet on Washington vs Boston.

I'm going Washington at ML here. They have a good chance, Westbrook and Beal are doing an excellent job so far. i got it @2.16. Let's see how it goes, I'm sure that there are also bettors looking for the underdog Wizards to pull some 'magic".  Smiley

For me, the Wizards are the ones that have the higher chance to upset Boston. Beal and Westbrook are back healthy while Boston will be without Jalen Brown, that must be the reason why the line is moving.

I'm thinking to bet for the Wizards but i have to wait for the outcome of the first game between the Pacers and Hornets. I'm backing the Pacers ML and if they win i will put all the winnings for the Wizards  Smiley.

Good luck to us.

Honestly, for now I can not do anything to tell their parents / prevent it, the fact: this case is really addicted to online gaming, there are some suggestions that I have passed on to them.

For example:
• try unplugging the WF at home, or turning off a single current or coax them nicely and take them out for a walk, did not seem to produce good results.

Whenever i do this, he just popped-up from his room instantly.

This is one of the downside of having this technology, you are together in one house and yet it seems that you are far from each other as you don't talk often as your kids are always in their gadgets.

Personally, this is my biggest problem at the moment and when i consulted my colleagues at work about this situation, they too are having this problem so i'm not alone.

My solution is i talked to my kid and explained to him the disadvantages if he kept on playing with his gadgets for a long time. Good thing that he understand and we made an agreement that he could only play for a certain hour of the day and then surrender his gadgets to me after.

This might not work with others but harsh action against them would not work as this would only aggravates the situation, just my thought.
2889  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] LUIS NERY vs BRANDON FIGUEROA Super Bantamweight World Championship on: May 17, 2021, 11:22:42 AM
BRANDON FIGUEROA shows superb performance, I did not expect to be this fight to be an exciting one but both fighters are not hesitant to engage, this is the kind of boxing that we want to see, even if the fighters are not very popular, Nery was overwhelmed by the too many punches thrown by Figueroa, in the end, it was the body punch that did it.
Style really makes a fight if two slugger clashes expect something like this to happen.

During the weigh-in interview, they promised that their fight would not be boring as it would be a war and indeed it's an explosive fight from the get go.

Though they are not popular to people living in Asia but i think people in the US or Mexico are following these boxers and personally i'm following also Nery as his name popped up as a future opponent of Casimero or Magsayo.

Brandon's next fight is against Fulton for a unification fight and that would be another exciting fight as i think Brandon is a boxer that people in the US want to see, a brawler not a runner.

Congrats to all the winners and thanks to everybody who shared their opinions on this fight.

Time to lock the thread now.
2890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] LUIS NERY vs BRANDON FIGUEROA Super Bantamweight World Championship on: May 16, 2021, 05:08:50 AM
It was not a masterful performance but Figueroa managed to pull off the upset. I thought Nery was winning the fight but then he ran out of gas and was taken out with body punches.

I don't know what the ceiling is for Figueroa. He has really good cardio but he takes too many punches and a more technical fighter would be able to outbox him. Eventually he is going to run into somebody that will knock him out cold or will shut him out in the scorecards.

Is he tough or Nery just lack the power to put to sleep Figueroa?

I agree, if he runs into a technical fighter that can move around more and box then he will have a problem.

But for now, let us just congratulate him on this win.

Another loss for me but no regret as the fight lives to its expectation and a fight like this just saves the sports from those circuses that some clowns are doing.
2891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] LUIS NERY vs BRANDON FIGUEROA Super Bantamweight World Championship on: May 16, 2021, 04:57:36 AM
Brandon Figueroa is the new WBC and WBA unified super bantamweight champion, is this an UPSET?

Damn, what a fight. Brandon is one tough boxer. He was tagged with power punches in the early rounds and yet no effects on him and Nery does not hurt him.

I just find it awkward for Brandon to not use his height advantage on his smaller opponents.

Anyway, congrats to Brandon Figueroa and looking forward to his next fight.

Code:
Sportsbet.io 

^^ yan ang gamit kong sports betting website, so far wala namang problema akong na-encounter.

Ito yong mga dahilan kung bakit ako nagtagal sa kanila:

1. Free withdrawal
2. No KYC needed (hindi naman kasi ako high roller)
3. Instant at nandyan lagi ang support team nila.
4. Yong UI, very friendly kahit sa mga bagohan.
5. May APP sila na kung mag-bet ka through mobile phone, patok ito sa iyo.

I'm not endorsing them, only tell my experience on using their site.

Kabayan, kung bagohan ka pa lang sa sportsbetting, i think hinay-hinay lang muna at mas mabuti kung masid-masid ka muna sa mga beterano dito. Alam mo naman walang sure ball kapag sugal na ang pina-uusapan.

Good luck on your journey, iwas ka na dyan sa online sabong, mga agents lang at si Boss AA lang yumayaman dyan lol.

It's going to be a longgggg playoff run for the Lakers if they will play in the play-in tournament.

But that would be so interesting because we will be seeing a tough journey for the Lakers just to get in the playoffs, and if they will win a back-to-back championship, this would be a good recognition again for them again. I just really hope Lebron is 100% when he comes back as the Lakers really need him to activate his beast mode. I have no doubt they will win in the play-in tournament but I think it's not easy for them to win in the WCF now.

It will be long run yes, so they really need Lebron back, but I'm not sure if he will be 100% if he returns. Just like Davis, he needed several games to adjust again before we see him going back to his pre injury version.

So they still need to win their last game at least that's the thing they can control and wait for Portland vs Nuggets.

First objective of the Lakers at the moment is to avoid the paly-in in which the probability of success is pretty high as their opponent will be the Pelicans which don't have Zion while LBJ and AD are back in the line-up.

Depending the trophy is another thing as the health of Lebron is very fragile and if he will be out with injury in the playoff then it would be goodbye to them as well in the NBA Finals.
2894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Naoya Inoue vs Michael Dasmarinas June 19 on: May 15, 2021, 10:58:10 AM
This doesn't look like an exciting matchup, Inoue is not challenging a strong opponent, and I'm not underestimating his opponent here but we know Inoue's caliber is too far versus Dasmarinas. Casimero was the one who challenges him but his camp did not accept that challenge and the good thing now Casimero had a more exciting fight against Rigo while Inoue still fighting a fighter that has a very low chance of beating him.

This might not be an exciting fight but we have to understand that Top Rank is slowly but surely building the career of Inoue as he might be the next cash cow of Bob Arum. For sure, Casimero and Inoue will meet in the future but first they have to take care of their business first to add more spice in case the two of them crosses road in the future.

IMO, Casimero have an easier fight than that of the Monster as he will be fighting an inspired Filipino boxer that will bring all his best come June 19  Smiley.

Just came across an interesting article where in they put public boxers' purse and Brandon Figueroa will receive much more than Luis Nery.

I thought that Nery is the "A" side on this fight but why he is receiving amount which is much lower than Brandon?

Quote
Per California State Athletic commission, official contract purses for Saturday’s PBC/Showtime card: Luis Nery $250k, Brandon Figueroa $650k; Daniel Roman $100k, Ricardo Espinoza $27k; Xavier Martinez $60k, Juan Carlos Burgos $20k; Jose Valenzuela $8k, Nelson Hampton $8k; Gabriela Fundora $800, Jazmin Valverde $800; Justin Cardona $4k, James De Herrera $3,500.

Nevertheless, i'm locked on betting for Nery via decision for that 3.10 odds.

By the way, here's the result of the poll so far.
 
Quote
What team will win the PBA 2021 All Filipino Conference?
1. Barangay Ginebra - 4
2. SMB -1

I'm the one who voted for SMB hehe. I'm a Fajardo believer, if he will come back healthy for sure SMB will give other teams a hell of a fight before they won that championship trophy. CJ Perez will just be another guy and point production from him is not much needed as he will slide to a role player, not a go to guy anymore as they have Junemar.

Dallas vs Toronto.

Toronto has no chance to be in the playoffs, so I don't think they will play hard here.
Dallas should win here as they need this win in order to keep their rank.

However, I'm quite concerned about the line, it's too high, -13.5 now. and though I believe they will win, will they win the handicap as well?
I need your opinion on this pick, will I go for the spread or will just go for the total?

Dallas will be with a full squad here while the Raptors might be resting their starters so if that happens the Mavs will cover this spread.

The dangerous thing here is some Raptors veteran would suit and ruin the party, i mean the Mavs will win but it's not a blow out game.

I usually stay away from this game if there are lot of uncertainty so better go for the total.

Tab Baldwin explains dynamics behind any Gilas decision on Jordan Clarkson

Quote
GILAS Pilipinas program director Tab Baldwin said he would definitely love to have Jordan Clarkson in the national team in the 2023 Fiba Basketball World Cup, whether as a local or naturalized player.

If this would happen then the Gilas Pilipinas will be respected in this league.
Clarkson has been playing like a superstar in the NBA now, everyone knows him as he will definitely win the 6th man of the year.

So brothers, let's hope for this to come into reality.

Just my gut feeling, Jordan Clarkson will be in Gilas uniform in FIBA 2023 as a naturalized player. Even though the Philippine squad will give up some height with the inclusion of Clarkson but with the way he is playing now, nobody will pass up on him and you are right, we will be respected by other teams because of him.

Date: May 15, 2021

Another exciting fight this weekend as Luis Nery will slug it out with another undefeated and rising star Brandon Figueroa. What makes this fight more exciting are the attractive odds on betting on either of them as the odds are not one-sided and for me this me is unpredictable, will go either way.

Below are some of the markets on my favorite bookies.



What are your thoughts on this fight?

If the Lakers and Blazers ended up with identical records, Blazers will get the 6 spot, because they got the tie break on the strength of their winning against the Lakers:

Head to Head this season:

May 8 - 106-101 Portland wins
Feb 27 - 93-102 Lakers wins
Dec 28 - 115-107 Portland wins

I think Portland also owns the tie break against the Mavs.


So, this is how they are going to break the tie? Thanks for this, i thought it's the quotient system.

Though the Blazers have the tougher opponents on their last two games but i think they are really inspired playing ball and i think they can get one win on these last two games.
