JR Smith: "I was trying to get enough to bring it out to get a shot off. I knew we were tied, I thought we were going to call timeout. If I thought we were ahead, I'd have held onto the ball and let them foul me."

"I was trying to get enough to bring it out to get a shot off. I knew we were tied, I thought we were going to call timeout"
- J.R Smith have 2 options, calling a timeout the moment he got the ball (not by running too much up to the halfcourt lol) or going for a game-winning shot. If Im not mistaken he even didn't wave a signal for time out.

Come on JR admit your mistake rather than giving an explanation. It's really a frustration for LeBron James that after giving a 51 points production, still your team lost and not just a simple lost. Looks like LeBron needs to score 80 points for Cavaliers to win lol.

Overall the game was intense. I even didn't think that Cavaliers would make this game close.

Still thanks for the +12 handicap for the Cavaliers and a good profit:). Easy x3 (3 persons).  With the performance of Cavaliers I think no one now will able to bet on me with handicap for Game 2.

Wow his really an idiot for not admitting it.
He shouldve just said "Yeah put it on Shaqtin a fool". Grin

All issues now are with the referrees. I disagree with this. All of us can see the slowmo of every plays while they cannot.
Their eyes dont have that power. Every call is as just what they see. It is live. If it is not below 2 minutes then they cannot review do they cannot take it back.

About the "should be" charging foul of Durant, they reviewed it because 2 refs call it differently that is why they took the call back after review seeing Lebron at a illegal defensive position.

But if both called an offensive foul then they will just review it if Lebron is out of the restricted area.
That is the problem about analyst that are arguing about that.
See how hard it is to be a ref. Why not be one?

I agree. Being a ref takes a lot of responsibility of focusing on what they are doing on the court and even if we reason it as "it is their job", they are still human who make mistakes. A lot of people are calling these refs siding to GSW but I think there are some angles that refs can't call because they can't see the area that we see on Camera. Well, about Lebron's foul which is Durant's offensive if not reviewed is a good call since we can see Lebron moving but it must not be moving to call Durant a offensive foul.

I am laughing at his shots, not only in this game but also on the last games. JR Smith is having a bad time making buckets and I don't know why he is still on the court, he's still even being passed by Lebron and making him shot but he is missing a lot. I do not know happened to him, he's like McGee on the side of GSW, good at his defenses but in terms of offense, they suck.
3023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 29, 2018, 02:20:11 PM
I hope Iguodala can play against the Cavs. I want to see that muscle to muscle bumping of Lebron if it will work with him Grin.

I know right. These strong players will be having a real tight game even if it is just Game 1, and I do hope that Andrei Igoudala can play. If he can't, I guess Green or Durant will be up to defend the hoop to the King. A lot of fans are saying that this is another rematch of Cavaliers and Warriors but for me, I think this is just another sweep by GSW.
3024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 29, 2018, 12:17:16 PM
Houston was able to hang on the first 2 quarters. But they shooting woes was already there its that GSW is also missing some shots. But at the start of the 3rd quarter, Golden State erase the lead so quickly that Houston didn't know what happen and then the shooting woes started to catch up on them. I don't know how many times Harden attempted a field goal and miss. Another lost opportunity for Chris Paul again, that injury really cost they the series and the finals against Cleveland Cavaliers.
According to some reports Houston missed 27 3-points attempts today. Just imagine if 50% of that 27 attempts we're successful that could have turned the tables around. Even if its just 30% of the 27 attempts it could have changed the future of Houston Rockets. Only 2 out of 13 3-points attempt we're successful for Harden. Houston Rockets played very well today and for sure they made GSW re-think of their strategies during the game.

Just like Boston they missed a lot a shots and didn't lose because how well warriors played they just shot poorly. I hope cavs make it close.

Well speaking of missed shots, it is announced that Houston Rockets set a NBA record with most attempted three point shot in a half. It is not surprising since Houston Rockets are making a lot of shots outside. It happened on Boston Celtics but Houston Rockets experienced the worst, well including the fact that CP3 can't play the last game of the WC Finals.
3025  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 29, 2018, 09:03:19 AM
The absence of CP3 definitely made an impact in their offense and defense part.

But I think it is the offensive part that makes Houston lose these game 7 without CP3. CP3 gives a lot of great assists and he can even give great buckets to the team. Harden play well but he can't focus in a certain role without CP3 making the plays and the calls. GSW's offense is really great as you have seen in the beginning, GSW is having a hard time scoring proof that Houton's defense is really great.

CP3 is really the glue to this Houston team and not Harden. We all know that Harden chokes in this crucial game, evident of how poor his FG percentage in Game 7. Its just sad that he really can't play and just watching at the bench.

And I agree about his facial expression, it really tells a lot of story. Maybe they can finish GSW in six games, but things happens. Hope they will be back next year to get 65 wins and be the number 1 on the West again.
Paul had never been in the NBA Finals, but next year they will come prepared.
Actually they just get the number 1 spot this season because of the injury problem of the warriors and its still evident
that the warriors is the team to beat here.

The odds is good for the cavaliers because they are underestimated in the series.

That is the reason why CP3 is looking really devastated inside. There is one point even in the recent game that he punch the chair on his side when his teammates made a mistake and in the last minutes, CP3 is really dead inside, you can really see it in his face. Houston has a great season and I think that is enough proof that they can get back next season the same as Boston Celtics.

Is this true that Chris Paul can't play today?

Houston Rockets' Chris Paul unlikely to play but game-time decision for Game 7

I read this first on FB and did a little bit of search but still can't say a thing about it.
Yes Chris Paul is out for Game 7 and its one of the reason why Houston Rockets need to step up their game. They can't rely only on Harden. Well game 7 is over and final score is 92 (Houston Rockets) - 101 (Golden State Warriors). Cleveland and GSW will face each other again in the Finals for the 4th time. I thought on the first half Houston Rockets have this in the bag.

It is really sad looking at Chris Paul in the last quarter where you can just read his facial expression as being useless these last 2 games. Harden really tried his best but in the last quarter, it is like they all lose their focus on the game not making enough buckets to equal the shots made by their opponent.

Another rematch and I don't think that the last years champion will change. GSW face a lot of great teams and they did their best as a team while Cleveland mostly rely on their bright and strong player, Lebron James. We will be seeing how they will have the rematch but I think I am already seeing GSW having the win.

This is a common thing happens in different countries where the government mandatory give assistance to there citizens with disability, and the sad truth is that the assistance from government is not enough.

And what are you implying? Giving Bitcoin to people with disabilities? And what will they do to it? Save or hold it until it pumps? We all know that Bitcoin is a lot more of an asset and less of being a currency and giving them or maybe what you are implying, making them earn it will not be a great help to them. Yes, Government assistance is not enough for them but making them earn digital currencies might not work for most of them. If you are earning a lot of digital currencies, earning a lot of money by doing so doesn't mean that it will be happening to other people as well.

Even if you give so big details,the gambler will always play gambling until he is not finish his bankroll. So in simple words everyone know about it even then they gamble
i agree with you buddy nobody can stop playing the gambler in the gambling site, playing gambling is part of the life of the gambler specially the addicting in gambling or those people playing gambling are the source of income.

I did became addicted once on gambling but I did not really think of making Gambling my source of income, I am just happy gambling and winning even though it rarely happens.

If they think that Gambling is a good source of income, I guess they need to think again. Risking your money everytime is not a good thing, it is normal to risk our money since there are a lot of types of investment but I can't call gambling as an investment unless you will be starting yourself as an owner or investor of a casino.
3030  Other / Off-topic / Re: Why are some countries still so rich and others so poor on: May 28, 2018, 01:45:56 PM
Actually,it depends on one country's population are how much educated,sincere,honest and responsible to their country.

No matter how many people are educated, sincere, honest or responsible, there is not way that that country will be rich if the government are not responsible to his duty and his country. A dedicated leader do not look at what the people say to his works but he is focused in the results that it will bring in the future. You don't even need a nation that is sincere and honest, you just need an educated, smart and skillful people.

Also depends on this country's government,political issues,development system,managements etc.

Maximizing these things, it all comes to the government. So it just really depends on that Country's Government.
3031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you set up limits for yourself? on: May 28, 2018, 12:59:19 PM
For gambling, we always need to set some rules and regulations specially for gambling. Without rules it is impossible to to win because if we keep on gambling we might loose all the allocated money.

That is why we need to prioritize things especially that things that we do. We usually spends our money the way we wanted it especially if we don't have that much to spend it on for example we don't have a family. We need to keep our gambling activity to minimum but if we can't stop gambling, we better minimize the money that we bring in the casino.

Cleveland has done it Cheesy. They are going to NBA Finals again. Tomorrow lets watch again who will win on the Western Conference. I will go to warriors. They can win there as long as the Snipers of Warriors can hit their outside shots.

They've really done it. Well, tomorrow will be the decision day who will be going to represent the West in the Finals which will be facing Cleveland. GSW was the most popular bet since Houston is having a disadvantage since CP3 has his injury.

As for Boston Celtics, they are young roster and yet they have reached the finals already. Maybe they are upset now because they get their first loss of the playoffs and its in the Game 7 of the ECF but in the future, watch this young and talented players with Irving and Hayward and they can dominate in the Eastern Conference.

I will really look for them next season, they will be really great.

Cleveland has played well in Game 7. He got the help from Green who subbed the injured Love. They can't stop Lebron James even Tatum dunked in his face Grin hahaha.

That dunk by Tatum made me stand in my chair. That is really great for a rookie and then he goes taunting James for it. Tatum is a really interesting player and these games by far will be the way how we will be seeing him in the future as a great player. He is just 20, so young to be taunting Lebron. hahaha
3033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how long you can stay without gambling? on: May 28, 2018, 10:32:26 AM
Now I can stay without gambling as long as I want. I have a job now which can help me to forget gambling and fortunately, most of my friends aren't gamblers.

That is really great since gambling is one of the things you can't just stop or control. I've been in this situation in the past and I can tell you, it is really hard but I stop these addiction when I also had my job though I still gamble but in a way that I can control my self from doing it. Having a friend that do not really gamble is a great thing since you can stop yourself or your friend can stop you and you will not be having an influence to them.
3034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 28, 2018, 09:27:28 AM
Well I think it was settled after game 6. The celtics are pretty young at this stage with rookies heading their wondrous run this season. Heading into a game 7 after a loss and against a determinded and experienced Lebron riding on momentum is hard task to accomplish. Nothing to be ashamed of with 2 of its top guys sidelined. Boston would be a very scary team and we've probably seen the future of the easter conference right here.
The Celtics has nothing to be ashamed and in fact they proved to their detractors that they can stand even without Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward in their line-up. They just can't stop the rampaging Lebron James even without it's usual supporting cast.

Come one man, Cleveland played this Game 7 really great. In my opinion, Lebron also plays bad these game since he has a lot of fouls with also a lot of turnovers comparing to his other games. He has 4 fouls with 8 turnovers while in other of his games he will just have mostly 2 or 3 fouls while 3 to 6 turnovers. We can just say that Lebron is just forcing himself to win these game with his team.
3035  Economy / Economics / Re: Why people are still buying BTC? on: May 28, 2018, 07:33:15 AM
Because people who buy bitcoin are confident of future bitcoin increases. Therefore they continue to buy bitcoin even a little and keep it for an unspecified time. This is a good way of investing in cryptocurrency and can generate future benefits.

Not really confident since we all know how volatile digital currencies are. Investing on digital currencies means that we are risking our money into something that may either have a profit or may not have a profit.

There may be some that do not continuously buy Bitcoin, they might bought it in time that the price is good and now that the price is low, they are still holding it, regrettably, hoping that it will still pump in the next months.
3036  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2018 NBA Season on: May 28, 2018, 06:55:22 AM
I wouldn't say they fucked up real hard, but James was his usual self.

That is right. He even said that in an interview. He said that he will be playing his usual self since it is Game 7.

Involving his team and know when to take over the game.

At the start of the game, Lebron James do not have any assists as the commentators are saying but it is not the negative side the reason why Lebron don't have any assists, they said he is just pushing so they can score.

He is really one of the greatest in this era and there's no question about it.

In terms of records, he surpassed the player who they call "the goat" of nba which is said to be Michael Jordan.

About the Celtics though, its a good season for them. So imagine if Kyrie will be back next year, I'm sure that they will be a team to reckon with.

That is just not good, it is a fantastic season for them. Think about it, Kyrie didn't play much at the last part of the playoffs but they even force the game at game 7 with a rookie and without their all-star player. Next season, Boston will be a team that will be feared.

Smart passive income for me is when you go for trading so everyday you can earn more money. But before that you can learn more and be smart to used your bitcoins.


I think that is not the real meaning of passive. If you go trading every single day, that means you are active on earning your income and that obviously means that you are not passive.

Trading and investing is one of the most popular ways to earn money using digital currencies, but if you want to earn passive income, investing is the most common answer people will say to you. You just invest on a certain digital currency and you wait for it to pump as most of the investors and users of crypto currencies are doing.

Pressure is on Cavaliers now that Kevin Love is still out for Game 7. They cant rely only on LeBron James. Even known sports analyst is in favor of Boston Celtics to win over Cavaliers because of the absence of Kevin Love. Meanwhile, Boston Celtics is hungry for a title, their last taste of Championship was 10 years ago against Los Angeles Lakers. One is hungry for a title and one is hungry for a possible rematch with GSW.

Every team has their own hunger and right now, and as I am posting this right now, both of the teams are now having a warm up. pick your teams now since these will be the last game of the eastern conference finals. Some experts say that Boston Celtics has the chance of winning these finals since Boston has no loss in their home court and the absence of Kevin Love.
It has definitely a significant loss knowing that Kevin Love would be out in game 7. He plays a vital role, all of them has and probably the hunger for a title by the Boston would overcome the Cavaliers hunger for a rematch.
We will see what will happen currently, knowing that they are facing each other now.

It is final. Cleveland Cavaliers will the finalist of Eastern defeating Boston Celtics 79-87. Tatum played exceptionally and I thought they can win the game but I don't see why even Rozier is having a hard time making his 3 point shots? It is just like they are having a bad day. Well, Congratulations to Cleveland and now they are sitting who will be the winner at Western Conference. Tomorrow is game 7 in Western, Finals will be on Thursday.

GSW played strong today and even Harden tried his best he can't carry the rest of the team, the power trio got their firing hands and keeps doing well, Klay is so impressive while durant and curry entertained the crowd, seeing GSW played like a champ impress a lots of basketball fans, the way they explode and with the whole team really eager to contribute, they still have the best game play in the league, but let see what will be the end results of this conference finals as CP3 will be back and play in front of their home fans.
The Snipers of Warriors take it all the way especially on the second half. They outscored the Rockets on the Third quarter and continue it on the 4th quarter to win with a huge margin just like what happened on Game 2.

CP3 will play in Game 7 indeed but if the Warriors can play in the road like the way they are playing in their home then there is a huge chance that they can win on the road.
The Warriors have all the tools to win it all in Game 7. They did a good job of defending James Harden in the third canto and the snipers of the Warriors hit their shot at that period. Even if CP3 will be back at Game 7, i think he is not 100% healthy and the momentum is on the side of the Warriors.

They are still not that sure to win the West Conference Finals because if they do, they will not be having a problem on making good scores in the first to third quarters of the Game 6 but they still did and Houston Rockets made a good differential point in their side on the 2nd quarter.

That is a proof that even without CP3, Houston Rockets can still win the game 7. The good thing about GSW this game is that Klay Thompson and Green making their team's momentum and morale going.
So its Klay turn to show what he got forcing Game 7, but this time they have to travel to Houston, which I'm sure that they are ready even without CP3. Do or Die. This is what we are really looking for as a Basketball fans and no matter who's team you rooting for, I'm sure that it's all the wait. Again, Durant being consistent and Curry and Thompson having good games is the key to GSW this playoff. Really hard to see who is going on the finals and Houston has the home court, however, due to CP3 injuries, most likely they are going to be overwhelm by GSW.
This is unfair for the Rockets, now that they are only one game away for their first NBA Finals after a long time, Paul will not be available to play.
The line clearly say that Paul is really a big loss for the team because the Rockets now are +5.5 at home where they play really good.

That is right, if I am not mistaken it is 1995? or 1997? when they are a finalist. Chris Paul is out because of his injury but it is not unfair for Houston Rockets since Andrei Igoudala is also out not only on Game 6 but on Game 7 too which is a fair game to them. If GSW loses Game 7, I guess I will be rooting for Houston Rockets for the Finals.

But I guess we must set aside these GSW and Houston Rocket predictions since the first one who will be tested tomorrow is Cleveland and Boston. It is Game 7 so bet your asses on Lebron because he will all carry your big-ass-bets to the finals.
Yes lets set aside first the Western Conference because tomorrow, it will be the Eastern conference Finals. Lets see who will win in TD Garden. Will be the home court Celtics win in their home or James and company will finally get the first road win on this series. I have trust in James but he needs help of his teammates in order for them to win because these young players are good shooters in their home court. The other players of Cavs must contribute in order for them to win.

I wonder how will Cavaliers do it. I mean Boston Celtics did not lose a game at Playoffs and Cavaliers will be having a hard time without Kevin Love on the team. On the other hand, Irving did not play for games now and if this is not a case I can see Cavaliers easily crumbling now. Last two games for every conferences and we will be seeing the finals this thursday guys, I am so excited.
