One example is Banchero, he was so good with the Alaska Aces but when he played with the Hotspots, he wasn't as effective as he was with Alaska.
Agree with you, he was the star player of Alaska but he was not effective with the magnolia. There are some players that fit in a certain team but does not in the other team, so Wright has to be also careful with this, he already earn his star status with his current team, so there's no need to transfer if he has the option to choose. Having Manuel is already a big gift, that should help them in their hope to be in the PBA Finals and win. |

I do not really think that Lakers care about winning right now. All they care about is getting everyone back on the court and helping them get back on their schedule, as long as they have a 100% ready AD and 100% ready Lebron when the playoff comes, that is going to be more than enough.
I think that I'm agreeing with you on that. As long as their roster is complete, no matter where they are right now, they're going to qualify to the playoffs with that strong they have. They'll be having a match later against Portland Blazers and both of them has the same standing, 37 wins - 29 losses. The sad news is that Lebron may still not play, and probably Davis is available but I doubt they'll win this game. As of now, the betting line is -7.5 for the Blazers, line tells that stars of the Lakers are missing, and who knows, Davis might not play too. Yeah, but its likely to see him play on next week: https://www.cbssports.com/nba/players/playerpage/400553/lebron-james"The goal is for James to be as close to 100 percent as possible while also allowing him some ramp-up time before the playoffs, especially since the Lakers are staring down a tough first-round opponent given their expected seeding."He would really need to rest a bit before getting this tempo back. Lucky for the Lakers the format is different now, even if they go down at number 10 ranking, they still have a chance to be in the playoffs if James will return. Also, we have to bet on him as he will keep his legacy, maybe NBA would help him achieve that, the king will definitely return soon. |

so my three team would be Ginebra, SMB and Meralco, can't wait for the upcoming bubble season.
Actually, based on my own rankings, Phoenix should be on my 3rd but Calvin Abueva was already traded even they already offered a max contract to him. Some say it was because of the financial capability of the company so they need to let go some of their high-paid players. Phoenix FuelMasters was one of the top performers in the bubble last year, climbs up to standings surprisingly, and I think they can handle well those top SMC and MVP teams. But without Abueva, that was hard to do. Don't forget that when they lose Calvin Abueva, they had Manuel now. I believe that Manuel although not as good as Abueva but he can contribute to the team in terms of defense and offense, and his experience is big for the team. There's a lot of new teams this season, I'm really excited if those trades and acquisition did really help a team, and see on what team is successful. |

How about this? Eubank thinks that Canelo will KO Saunders huh. Odds @1.91 Canelo via KO is pretty attractive but i think Saunders have something in mind that he demanded to have a bigger ring lol. I think he is going to use his running shoes here to avoid on being punished by Canelo but still he will lose, so i will stick to Canelo by UD. Eubank Jr. Backs Up Talk, Bets £10,000 on Canelo To Knock Saunders Out
https://www.boxingscene.com/eubank-jr-backs-up-talk-bets-10000-on-canelo-knock-saunders-out--157415Yeah, this is the first thing that comes into my mind, he wanted to have a bigger ring for obvious reasons, so that he can run and circle around when Canelo is about to come and get him knockout. That's attractive odds as well, Canelo by knock out is really a good prediction in this fight. As we all know that even Canelo goes up in weight, he can still knock out guys with one punch. Good odds and that's likely the outcome, but if the UD win has better odds, then I understand if @bisdak40 took that. Here we are again, we are all looking at Canelo's talent in boxing, and how good he is in his last fights, and that's the reason why we also did not see how attractive the value betting on his opponent, anyone taking on Saunders with a very nice odds? |

I just don't like the fact that they are very dependent on JMF. I'm an SMB fan for a long time and criticizing them isn't a wrong idea. Depending too much on JMF is like LeBron on Cavs where he is carrying the whole team. I think that they need to adjust at least regarding this that they don't rely too much on JMF.
Not possible now for SMB to compete strongly in All-Filipino if no JuneMar Fajardo. If you remember when Alaska and SMB met in the Finals where the first able to take the 3-0 lead, that was an SMB without Fajardo as he was injured in the semis. When Fajardo back, they come back from a 0-3 deficit and won a championship. That was an SMB that still has prime players. Today, SMB prime players are now veteran and aging. CJ Perez is still not ripe to carry the team. I guess it was already announced that Fajardo will be coming back this season, it's just that he might not play at the opening or in the early part as he is still not 100%, but he will come back. SMB will still be the favorite with him, without him, then that would be another story. For me, Ginebra so far has the best roster in terms of All-Filipino. Second, is TNT and third is Meralco. Agree with this, but TNT and Meralco, I guess even without Fajardo, SMB could still match them. |

He might not be the all-star player in SMB but in the future he will be when he stays here. We know that 4 of the 5 starting players of SMB are already at their 30's and they need a young athletic player like Perez just to carry the legacy  . I believe that he will play good in SMB. Perez could carry this team if they'll allow that, however, this SMB will always be full of superstars and that will make them always a championship contender. Fajardo is still the main key to their success as obviously without him they are not having success in the Finals, so despite of this, it still depends on the health of June Mar Fajardo. |

Repeat.
New Orleans Pelicans vs Golden State Warriors
GSW - ML
If Lonzo cannot guard Curry, who will? They need speed and someone who will not take off his eyes from that man.
He will just keep on running on the floor without the ball and it should be stopped.
Yeah right, Ball need to adjust Pelicans also needs to guard Green as he's taking charge, with his assist and those attacks to the basket scores, GSW will bring them down. Oklahoma City Thunder vs Sacramento Kings
Kings -4.5
Are the Kings still trying to steal the 10th spot from the Spurs? If the Spurs will keep on losing their games then they just might. Or the Pelicans will take it.
Kings are just quitely chasing the playoff chances, if Spurs will continue losing they still got that open opportunities, this handicap is good to tail with, best of luck! I like this Kings pick, OKC has no chance in the playoffs anymore and they keep losing while Kings beating teams like Lakers and the Mavericks. That handicap is not high enough, for sure Kings will cover it as they'll play hard for that playoff spot. |

I think the odds were already shared here and it was Marquez who is the favorites, though it's not official yet at least having an idea is a big help to determine who is the possible favorite, but then the odds difference is not that huge so it's like a fair or even match and bettors like that.
Yes, I have not seen that there were already official odds for this match. It is still quite far before this match happens. So, those odds that we see coming from unofficial people then expect those to be guesses only from a fan or any analyst that monitors this match. AFAIK, both fighters have become champion during their pro boxing career, and both have fought the greatest in the boxing world, so we have to expect that they will be both respected and both fighters will have their fans to support them, so it's probably a 50/50 fight if one is a favorite here, for sure just a slight favorite or there could be line changes as money will come on both sides. Meanwhile, there are some boxers who did not appreciate these exhibition matches as they feel people are not getting the right entertainment and the real boxing which is run by the pro is being affected. Just imagine, if Mayweather gets $100 million in an exhibition fight but other fighters are even struggling to get $10 million in a fight, they'll feel frustrated for sure. You can't really compare Mayweather (I'm not a fan of his), however, give him credit, as much as we hate him because of his brandish and arrogant style, he can back up his talks, he is still undefeated and has beaten a lot of champions. And so with his popularity commands huge amount of money, vs Pacquiao, vs Conor, two of the biggest PPV in history. So if other fighters to get that huge paycheck, then they have to take the road of Floyd. No one could imitate Floyd, he is the only one and will always be unique, he is a trash talker guy but he is so good at boxing. We maybe find him boring but his style is effective that made him undefeated, had retired before, came back in boxing to fight champions and still they can't beat him. Mayweather has fought Canelo, Pacquiao, and Marquez, he won by a convincingly UD. That's the statement. |

Latest odds for those who are curious:  Again, odd makers are putting Haney as outstanding favorite here, not good for ML. Better wait for other betting options, not worth for Haney, unless you have a big money to gamble as that odds. But for ordinary gamblers like many of us here, not very attractive. A Linares odds though, if he can only upset Haney here. No doubt about that ML, I will not bet on that, better to throw some money on Linares, at least he beats Haney, it will be a big win for us. Or as you just said, better wait for options, I'm sure bookies are going to open more choices for us. I'm curious as what could be the odds of Haney winning by decision. there's gotta be a knockout in this match. they lightweight but they are heavy hitters. the knockout rates is astonishing. haney winning by knockout or linares which i guess a big win for you. the odds however is disappointing. if they add some options like which round will linares will fall, that's going to be a big winning odd to bet for haney. I'm guessing in 3rd round? That's the betting options that I'm waiting for this fight. However, I don't think that Haney will win by knockout in the 3rd round. Of all the 4 champions, Lopez, Davis, Garcia and himself, he is the one with the pillow fisted. He is somewhat boring but technical and doesn't have the one punch power like the rest of champions. So probably it can go to distance and him winning a close UD. Or if Linares gets tired and then hit with a perfect body shot (his weakness), it could be over in round 10 or less. That's a good prediction mate, I don't also expect that Haney will KO Linares in the early rounds, his style is different from other aggressive boxers who would want to end the fight right away, he is very careful, follow his plan with discipline but the end he would still win. I guess the best bet is Haney to win by UD.. that if you want to stay on a safer side, otherwise the opposite of that bet would give you a better odds. |

If by chance, Saunder will win by KO, the odds is at 40.0 right now, while if he wins by decision, at 6.60 odds. Do you think some gamblers will bet on him? Canelo is clearly the favorite to win here. We don't know what kind of preparation they both have. So we are only basing from their previous fights. The reason why the odds for Saunders winning by way of knock out is very high is that it is very unlikely to happen. It may happen as unexpected results do happen in boxing sometimes but you cannot be counting on that with your money. Even that decision win for Saunders is unlikely to happen. But there are always people who will bet on certain fighters even if they are underdogs. It happens always. May be they are huge fans of the fighter, they are simply counting on the possibility of an upset, or they are trying to make big money by risking. That's how bookies work, they make odds based on what people thought on a certain fight. What people think now is that Canelo would win easily, so he is now overvalued in the sportsbook, and that gives very high odds for his opponent just to attract bettors. As for me, I think the odds are just right and I would love to play Saunders to win for higher odds, just for the sake of fun and who knows this little chance would win. However, now, in reality, I think Canelo would win, but just in case he makes mistakes, at least I'll benefit. |

Currently, I'm checking on the Lakers, Knicks, and bucks, and will only pick one.
Hope you will pick the Knicks vs Rockets game and give your analysis on that one. I'm thinking Knicks -10, what's your opinion on that? I could put my money on the Knicks here, they are still the hottest team in the league though their win streak is already over. Rockets are a shitty team now, playing a back-to-back game, so most probably they are a bit tired now and a double-digit win by the Knicks is probable. I better take this early, -9.5 is already good, it actually moved from -8 as an opening to -9.5 ATS. |

I am still Holding and waiting for its Rise. But its price is not increasing . Its price is revolving around a circle.I'm tired of holding it now and I'm thinking of exit from this Token. Keeping it is a patient process.
there hasn't been any significant progress I think. however, I also still have some tokens from AME in my wallet. Besides, this coin has been priced at $ 0.1 or more, so I'm looking forward to that price, and even then, I think the potential could still be higher if they plan to list in a big market like Binance, or Kucoin. Do they really plan it? You know that listing in Binance requires big funding, if the team feels it's already timely then we will see that. Maybe for now, Kucoin is a good start, they also have a decent volume and they are a popular exchange. |

You'll never know if there are fans that are not happy with such progress and has the audacity to complain even if the situation is very visible.
Yes, whatever the decision is, we'll support them and the important news is we're going to see the upcoming season with no stops.
It will not only stop if there's a vaccine already, and hopefully, PBA will be given a special treatment so they will be able to acquire the vaccine without delay. It's been almost over a month from the supposed start of the season which was in April, but here we are, we are still waiting so hopefully by next month there's no more problem anymore. It's been mentioned in the talks for sure and they'll be part of the priority. I saw some news that some big private corporations have already been given permission to purchase on their own. I wasn't sure if that's already legitimate news but I saw it on socials. And that gives an idea that PBA will be given that consideration and favor that we need. Hopefully, that's the case, they need the government approval so everything will be smooth for them, they can't waste time if they want to start next month, they need to procure that vaccine now and get it injected to players and staff. |

Just imagine, if Mayweather gets $100 million in an exhibition fight but other fighters are even struggling to get $10 million in a fight, they'll feel frustrated for sure.
That's his benefit of being one of the greatest boxers in the world, but that big money would not be possible without the fans supporting him, so we can't blame Floyd here, but blame the fans for supporting a shitty show. |

News being leaked is the Fury vs Joshua fight might not go ahead. Bob Arum (promoter for Fury) said it is "dead in the water". Bob Arum already cast doubt on this fight going ahead asking why Hearn is being secretive about the location. Finally, Eddie Hearn (promoter for Joshua) admitted today in an interview that if he cannot get the deal done by the end of next week Fury could have a blockbuster trilogy with Wilder and that would mean Joshua fighting mandatory challenger Oleksandr Usyk. There is £200 million attacked to this fight so all parties should be making sure it takes place but Hearn is being secretive for reasons not yet known: Daily Mirror Sports PageI thought it was already signed, now we are hearing bad news? I was thinking that we are going to witness this fight soon, let me guess, is it again about the money? For sure if they will get their expectations on financials, nothing would come as a problem in this fight. Lots of good matchups this year that will not happen and they involve Bob Arum. first, the Crawford vs Pacquiao which was recently off. now, this one. |

In 2021 I am no more interested in ICOs. There era is almost over now. I am rather happy to invest in solid altcoins like Eth, Cardano, Litecoin. ICOs in my opinion are not worthy for investment, since 1 in thousand got success.
If I remember correctly, ICOs have been almost dead since the start of 2018 when China and India implemented controls and regulations to prevent cryptocurrencies, and bitcoin has gone down ever since. Obviously without fire there would be no smoke. A series of ICOs only with dreams and deception, appropriating billions of dollars of investors. Currently, ICOs still exist according to the organizational requirements of each individual project, but it is gradually replaced by IEO, IDO ... thoroughly explored. Your money, keep it and develop it with your knowledge and wisdom. Don't let the movement provoke, open your eyes and think! In general, it looks dead because the success rate is very low compared to another fundraising platform. During its popularity, we are seeing a lot of money going into ICO, but now its reputation is destroyed and actually, we only have few altcoins that are successful now which are coming from ICO. Probably 5% or less is only the success rate of ICO overall. |

Conor McGregor lost to his gas tank and it was not a big secret that his cardio is his down coming and there is no chance that anyone else let alone a novice like Logan could defeat Mayweather even at 44 years.
Conor McGregor has a lot of supporters who back him up even though he is not having the skills set to defeat elite level boxers nor elite level wrestlers and yet he had a good run in the UFC and he was lucky enough to avoid tough match ups during his rise to stardom and the UFC was helping him avoid those match ups as well and fought only strikers mostly. I will give Logan Paul a punchers chance and the size advantage but other than that there is no way he could defeat Mayweather with the skill set he has against an elite boxer. I'm not sure how low the chance of Logan Paul winning this fight, but one thing I know, Mayweather would not allow his record to be ruined, so he will keep winning and if he is still undefeated in exhibition fights, he can still fight another fighter and continue to make money. |

Fajardo is a key player of SMB and without him, it will be hard for them to win a championship. Though every team are working hard to place on top, so there’s still no assurance for SMB to win a title even if Fajardo goes back on court. With regards to Fajardo, he’s still young and if he recovers I’m sure he’ll be more stronger. There's no assurance but they have a higher chance of winning, but the condition is, Fajardo should be healthy and fully playing like a normal Fajardo. His injury keeps him sideline for long, and we don't know yet if he is still aggressive as he was before, so let's just hope for the best. Yes, I agree that there's no assurance, but, don't forget guys that SMB now have Perez which I believe the scoring champ, and he will certainly do well with the SMB as he has better teammates compared to his previous team. I still think that they will win a championship though it's not easy this time. |

By the way, he will become a free agent after the end of this season, and it would be cool if this performance affected the Mavs' decision to sign a new contract with him.
Mavs will have to choose between him or Josh Richardson. Or even pick totally new player on SG position. If Mavs keep both, then there is no chance to get another good player next season on forward or power forward position where are the weakest. I guess Mavs should choose the one who is performing well during this season, and IMO, Hardaway Jr. is the better one and he should stay. If they want to save on the salary cap, they probably trade KP as he is a high-value player and they can get good players in exchange for him. In my opinion yeah you can but the whe point of trading away multiple first round picks for him isn't to just trade him away which you aren't going to get great value back. There is injury concern for KP and no one will give mays what they gave up for him. Their best bet is to cross fingers and hope kristaps lives up to the hype at some point Mavericks is capable of winning the regular season and be in the playoffs, but in the playoffs, it's a different game, they need KP, so the most important is to keep KP healthy to keep the Mavericks' chance of winning and be in the NBA Finals if lucky enough. We've seen how good they are during the Clippers' series last playoffs, but when KP was out, that's where the problem happened. |
