What do you think about CP3? are we going to see him playing like how they end the Clippers?
One thing that will go on CP3's favor is that he is playing very well in this playoff. So I doubt that he can be stop right now, and I would say that he is un-guardable, not even Jrue Holiday can stop it. Then they have the homecourt advantage that's why they are clearly the favorite to win game one. I'm expecting him to at least score 20-10 in game 1. Cp3 might get 20 but it's not going to be easy against jrue. Jrue is one of the top defensive guards and is going to take it to cp. If I had to bet I'd bet he doesn't get 20, one thing Paul doesn't do is take bad contested shots which is what he will be forced into in this series. Look for him to set up book all game here using himself as a decoy Not sure about the defense of Jrue, but it seems that Paul has just continued his performance from the last game in the Clippers close out, to game 1 championship against the Bucks. He started slow, but then again get into the groove and penetrating and dishing out 9 assists, close enough to what I have predicted. So he didn't play the decoy, he took matters into his own hand. IF they win the series, CP3 will gave the MVP finals here. |

There are people who used to gamble and is familiar with the topic or some are just avid fan of sports and open for discussion and opinion. It is not just this thread that is full of posts that is spammed to fulfill signature posts. Moderators can delete it and it can also be reported or just ignore.
I agree on some point, but it seems that there are gambling related signature campaigners who joined but literally has 0 knowledge and they will just post shit just to fulfill the requirements.
To answer the question, yes as I gambler, recently I went back to land base gambling again, playing my favorite slots games + roulette and some baccarat. And then I have crypto sports betting as well. |

Phoenix Suns are now under some statements that they are a lucky team to enter the Finals as all teams they faced during the playoffs are not healthy and in the upcoming Finals. the situation is still the same.
If only teams played in their healthy lineup, there's no question of what if here.
But on the other hand, they also entered the Finals without a superstar. Chris Paul might be but he is now on his retirement age.
Not sure about that statement though, I don't have the numbers but in every year some superstars got injured so teams are not healthy. Well initially they are one of the favorites, they have proven it in the regular season when they ended up as the second seed behind Utah Jazz. I consider Chris Paul superstar, he is the premier guard in the NBA. And then Booker has a break out year, they have Ayton the number 1 overall pick in 2018. So saying that Phoenix is a lucky team this year is an understatement. We can say the same case with Miami last year when they reach the finals that they got lucky too because of the "Bubble" setup. |

Is the fight going to happen or this thread is speculation?
In any case, Donaire will have to deal with Inoue's power again, and he has to adjust and need to be perfect and not allow Inoue to get some points in the judges scorecard if the fight goes to distance. He rally late, Inoue is like ahead by 4 points at least average. But given that Donaire's timing is still there, he might pull an upset maybe in later round knock out.

As reported by several sources, Trae Young is going to play in tonight very crucial and important games for the Hawks. Giannis will continue to sit though in this game.
He is now in uniform, so this is a boost for the Hawks, that's why I'm not surprised that the odds are in favour of the Hawks since the opening of the betting line. Portis will take Giannis in the starting 5 for the Bucks. So let's see how Trae Young is in this game.
Trae Young looks a little bit rusty on his comeback, turn overs and missed shots. To be fair, both teams are shooting horrendously, so it's just a 4 point lead for the Bucks. Middleton though with 3 fouls, this is critical as it was only Jrue Holiday who are carrying the load for the Bucks. I'm expecting the Hawks to come strong in the 3rd quarter, and hopefully Trae Young can just that rust and bring the Hawks to win in this game. So far the trend is under 217.5, but as I have said, if the Hawks goes hard on the third, chances are it might be the Over. |

Bucks have the advantage against Hawks, 3-2 as they won the fifth game 123-112. Trae Young and Giannis both didn't play in this game as they were still injured. I expected a little boring game because of it but it was quite good actually. B. Lopez made me really surprised as he scored 33 points and was one of the players carried the team to the victory. At Hawks, Bogdanovic had 28 points and was the most scorer of the team. But it wasn't enough for getting a win I'm afraid.
I'm expecting a somewhat low scoring ball game, but even without their stars, points are being scored, specially Brook Lopez who has 30+ or more. Bogdanovic missed a lot of shoots, he has been nursing some injury if I'm not mistaken, but he keeps on showing every game. If Giannis comes back, I believe that Bucks will finish the series and be the opponent of Suns in the final series.
I have a feeling that Giannis will sit on the next game still and take a rest. The pressure is on the Hawks right now. They have to win otherwise the Bucks are going into the finals vs Phoenix. |

I have seen the two fights and it deserves a third fight and there's a possibility that it's not going to be a trilogy at all, the two fighters are made for each other, both fighters are prepared and ready to engage, Chocolatito is already old and slow on their last fight but he still can last a full 12 rounds I'll go for Estrada here, if the fight is like the one that they left behind in the second fight, then the fight could go either way.
Agree, it is in the mold of other great trilogies and more, like Barrera-Morales or Israel Vasquez vs the younger Marquez. For sure as others have said, this is going to be a toe-to-toe battle from round 1 and it could go and last a full 12 rounds and it will go to the judges scorecard. But if there is another controversy, we might see a fourth fight. This is 50/50 in my opinion, hard to predict who has the edge in this fight. SD for the winner. |

Doge was $0.24 after his tweet just jump to $0.25. He must be expecting still a big pump. He is losing it all. People once liked him supporting the adoption but after playing around, his influence slowly deteriorates, whatever he will tweet will just be ignored even if it's going to be the most supportive tweet, people may not care soon. Can't even say something that is worth retweeting about dogecoin.
Could be, but we have learn from Elon's tweet already, yes the price rose to 7% but then again, it just dump so hard. So maybe he doesn't have that influence anymore except for couple of noobs or pump and dump groups who are going to jump in and make easy profits. And since we are in a bearish trend, investors are very careful, or shall we shall afraid to pour their money because of the current trend. |

Despite the problems with Binance, Germany still doesn't seem like it is against cryptocurrencies. It's good to hear actually. After allowing the investment funds, I can't wait to see them making investments also. Maybe it isn't gonna be affective on crypto prices. But it is always a good thing for sure. It can help the market come to life again.
They have been pro-bitcoin since 2017, you can see the number of cities that accepts crypto or at least have a bitcoin ATM: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1224741/firms-with-crypto-payment-solution-germany-city/Yeah, it didn't put a dent on the price though, on the contrary the price dip in the last 48 hours. For sure maybe not everyone hear this news. So it might take time to digest this news and let investors read between the line. The price is still cheap, maybe it's a good time to buy bitcoin right now and hold and wait for other good news to come before the end of the year. |

Bucks jump to a big lead of 22:7 after 6 minutes and Atlanta coach waits this long to finally call a timeout. How do you wait until you are down 15? What a terrible coaching! And now it's down to 9 points lead, the Hawks has a good run in the last couple of minutes. I think Atlanta is still into this game. Even though the Bucks built a good lead, they are still fighting even without Trae Young. The 2nd quarter is almost done, down to 2 minutes, so at least it was not a blow out game. For sure both teams are going to come back strong in the 3rd as this is crucial. If Bucks continue on the momentum and build a solid 10 point cushion, they have a good chance of winning and the point spread are going to be covered by the Bucks. |

More people expected Clippers to make the finals but injuries help Suns so much, plus Chris Paul's great performance lead them to finals.
The poll was set up when the Clippers are healthy that's why you see the votes are the majority for the Clippers. I'm not saying Phoenix Suns will not reach the NBA finals if they played against the healthy Clippers but we can't take away the chance that the result might be the other way around. Exactly, there's a lot of "IF's", if Kawhi is just healthy, maybe we can see a different outcome. The injuries of some key players in the playoffs destroy the excitement of the game so we can't say who's the dominating team these playoffs. Anthony Davis, Kawhi Leonard, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Giannis Antetokoumpo, etc.
The game is tougher, hard not to give your 100% every game in this playoffs and not getting injured. There's a lot of players that are bruised and banged but they keep on playing until they got injured. I guess it just part of the game, specially if you are on a max contract, you are expected to play hard day in day out and win for your team. |

Do you guys think one day USA may ban cryptocurrencies? If yes what would happen? I think it's not totally impossible and that would be a global crash on prices.
I don't think that the US will ban crypto, but for the sake of your argument, I think it will have a drastic impact on the market, we might see the price crashing because of this news. However, no country is bigger than bitcoin or the rest of the crypto. We might suffer a crash, but definitely it will grow again given sometime. We have seen how crypto's resiliency is, so no doubt that we can bounce back but it might take time, or until everything settles down after the ban. |

I know most people probably hate Patrick Beverly but I'm sure his temates appreciate not having to play against him lol. No one would have went at ayton like Patrick did. Anyway clips need a big 3rd quarter if they are going to pull this out. Cp3 is too much with a big lead in the 4th to come back on.
Lol, yeah he got the block but hit Ayton so hard in the head that its called a flagrant foul. Suns still leading going into the third, we haven't heard so much of Paul George he is on a shooting slump in this game. We need to see Playoff Paul if they want to win in this game as the Suns as taken control up to this point. Booker and Paul providing the offense and Ayton in the middle. |

Definitely, there is money to be made in trading. Just imagine, you buy 1 btc=$32k and then this last few days it went as high as $35k, so there is profit already. But it's not that simple though, trading requires a lot of work and analysis so there is a learning curve to begin with and you might suffer a lose initially before you learn the tricks in trading. So if you are not willing to spend hours, then maybe, like the majority of us, prefer just to hold on it for long term.

Let me quote: “We're firm believers in the benefits of crypto and the strategic application,” says NCR president of digital banking Douglas Brown. “And that's true for our banking relationships, as evidenced by Nydig, and across retailers as well as restaurants and the like.” At least NCR's management is keen on looking at bitcoin and crypto in general. Of course, it's business and all for the money, but this could mean a win-win situation for us. Adoption might be a slow process, but sooner or later we might see more industries betting on the future of BTC. |

If this match is pursued and done, I think they can now pursue the Garcia match.  I wonder if Garcia would still want Manny if Manny will destroy Spence. And if Manny loses in the Spence fight, the interest will also drop in his fight against Garcia, so I think what Garcia's camp is protecting here is the current value, or maybe they are just making news but their case is not really that strong. Manny has nothing to lose in this fight and win or lose against Spence, the interest of Garcia to fight Manny will not drop as it will always be a money-fight regardless of the outcome of the Spence fight. I wonder if Manny could still focus on his training with this recent spat with the President of the Philippines. This recent issue had an effect on his popularity as a politician and also a little bit as a boxer as the focus will not be the same when he has nothing to worry about back in his homeland. For sure he wouldnt really take this fight without making his body in shape and in good condition despite of the work and responsibility that he had but eventually it is amazing to see that there's some boxer who do have some service on his country land and at the same time he hadnt give up his boxing career. Even if he do lose up this fight then i dont see much on effect and this might be the reason too that he would really take some retirement and for spence if he would able to beat up Manny on this fight then for sure that would be adding more popularity and of course some boost up in fame. When it comes to money talks then this is business as usual and its none of our business on how much they do make on this upcoming fight. Wonder if this Pacquiao-Spence Jr will indeed push thru despite of the ongoing lawsuit of Pacquiao. Either way, Pacquiao doesn't need this fight anymore. He should be retiring for good. Only these new bloods are very eager to fight with him, for the popularity that they can gain and not mentioning the purse they will get. They are just happy to be matched with Pacquiao. So people and these promoters are still chasing him. Sean Gibbons, Manny Pacquiao's handler said that the fight will continue as plan. He even told in an interview that Pacquiao will be in the US by July to train with fame Freddy Roach for the Spence fight. But we all know boxing politics, every one has a price, so if they indeed settle this lawsuit out of the court then the fight can proceed by August. Pacquiao wanted to pursue this fight, so we can't really say that it's time for him to hang up his gloves and retire for good and let the young bloods take over the boxing scene. If Floyd can still relevant with exhibition matches, then Manny can do it with real fights. |

Estrada will be the slight favorite going into this fight based on the strength that he beat Gonzalez last time. But it doesn't mean that he will have the advantage in the trilogy. For me it was Gonzalez who won the second fight, but the judges saw otherwise. So the same here, I will bet on Gonzalez by decision, could be unanimous.

Okay, $350k in 2022, then what? $3.5m in 2025? $20m in 2030? Bitcoin can't exponentially grow forever, in fact if $64k was the top of this cycle, it would already mean that it slowed down its growth rate, and people really need to readjust their moonmath models, or they will keep getting disappointed.
Yeah, at some point, the exponential growth will slow down, we need to find the source of money before we can see huge explosion in the future. Currently, it was the company hedging into bitcoin and putting it in their balance sheet. And then we see $64k, new all time high. But after that, market went into bear mode, and it seems it will continue unless we have another break out news that will fuel more money and getting the price to at least $100k in the next year or so. |

The fifth game was really insane. I used that word because Paul George broke a record in the game. Paul George is the first player in NBA history to score more than 40 points having at least 75% FG, 50% 3FG and 100% FT in a playoff game.
I think he also has a record for 20++ consecutive games in a playoffs for the Clippers franchise. Clippers won 116-102 and the series is 3-2. I really wonder whether Clippers will succeed in making a comeback.
Defense is the key for them, they have limited Booker and Chris Paul. Although Phoenix put up a good fight and made a comeback, it wasn't enough as they have limit the Suns and then I think Jackson has like a 3 and then a dunk that really put a separation. And then Suns cannot score after that, and they have match up the intensity per quarter. |
