Harden definitely does bring a lot to the table. I am not saying that they are already champions or anything like that, obviously they will need to play a lot more games to see if it will go on like this.
Harden is known MVP and diva, Embiid is the best player in that team, right now Harden loves passing and sharing and being happy with his teammate, but when people start to see Embiid as the reason for championship possibility and leave Harden aside, that is going to be different.
If Harden could reel in his ego, then we are going to see this team win a championship either this year or next year. They are certainly one of the best in the league.
We are seeing a great start of the Sixers, isn't it good enough to think that this team really has a chance to be the NBA champion this season? Harden is no doubt in his MVP level, what the Sixers need currently is to maintain or improve their chemistry, and it seems to me that the current team is better than the previous, so I'm hopeful that they'll succeed this season, nice trade by the way. They did get a little bit better but I think losing Seth and his 3 poit shooting kills some of the spread they had going for them. I mean they struggled against the Knicks and took a big 4th to pull away. Still not convinced this is gonna work out for them. |

Looks like the details in the Harden drama are beginning to emerge. Sounds a lot like Harden didn't fit in with Kyrie and Durant, specifically Kyrie. I guess this is what happens when you try to build a team based on talent instead of chemistry. https://www.newspostalk.com/kyrie-irving-seemingly-throws-shade-at-james-harden-while-talking-of-the-new-look-nets-when-youre-playing-with-guys-that-are-coming-off-the-ball-being-very-selfless-it-just-makes-my-job-a-lot-e/When You’re Playing With Guys That Are Coming Off The Ball, Being Very Selfless, It Just Makes My Job A Lot Easier I'm also seeing that Philly fans are mocking Kyrie for only being able to play in away games. The Nets vs Sixers matchup would be pretty awesome in the playoffs for the drama alone. As far as who is the better team... I think any team with Kevin Durant has a good chance at winning against anybody. Adding Seth Curry and Ben Simmons to me feels like a massive upgrade from James Harden. Especially with the new rule changes eliminating Harden's drive and sending his fg% into the toilet. It seems the Nets roster just keeps getting stronger and stronger. Now to see if they can get healthy and learn to play together. Agreed. Seth spaces the floor which is what Durant needed. Kyrie can just kyrie and doesn't need anyone or anything to get his shot. But teams packed it in on the Nets knowing Harden drives especially with Joe Harris out. Nets won that trade I think. Philly is going to need Maxey to really step it up on his outside shot in the playoffs. |

That PnR game between Harden and Embiid looks unstoppable at times, Knicks with two bigs fouled out in just over 3 quarters and 76ers with 44 free throws...the closest we've gotten to A. Stoudemire and Nash PnR action imo. Apparently, those 27 FTs by Embiid are the most taken by any player this season - source, Harden and Embiid combined for 37 FTs, and it's been just two games. lol I have the 76ers in a three-team parlay with Boston and Charlotte. Normally, when i back a few favorites, i wind up with multiple upsets. The Pistons have the league's worst road record, and while the Pacers have Brogdon back from injury, they are nowhere near Boston, no upsets...please.  That game was hard to watch not only because I'm a knick fan but dam all them fouls. Killed any momentum either team had. Knicks rolled over in the 4th again. They need to draft someone who knows how to finish games. Terrible showing in the 4th |

Almost everyone I knew now creates their own tokens these guys aren't even crypto developers to begin with, they have no coding experience or knowledge now this makes me worry, imagine how many crypto tokens that are created by inexperienced personal, I think we need to buckle up for there will be huge rain of scam tokens upon us than what we've seen before...... Sigh! I wish that only few qualified people knew how to build blockchain projects. This has been going on forever nothing new here. People were cloning bitcoin for years. Now it's just tokens. If people stop chucking their money at everything that pops up people will stop cloning coins. Greed rules and where we have greedy markets scammers will pile in. |

Bunch of good games on today I got 2 picks for the day:
Detroit on the road -10 against Charlotte. Bagley isn't playing for Detroit but they have been playing ok for now. Think they still lose but cover
And the golden state game. Draymond is out so golden states defense will struggle. Instead of picking the game I'm taking the over. Steph at home without klay as well so there should be some chucking going on. Rooting for both offenses.
Good luck today everyone!

Same here, if Durant comes back in time, then they can still survived in the regular games and go with the playoffs.
And then with Simmons waiting for his time and they occasional Irving being inserted, they could still manage to last 6th-7th spot in the East and automatic playoff berths. It might not be good position at they are going to face the top teams but we will never know specially with KD at the lineup.
It's more likely that they will gonna secure their spot in the NBA playoffs once Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons will play together and we will gonna see more improvement with Ben Simmons once he really does his job and play real basketball in Brooklyn Nets. This is one of the reasons why they really need to consider changing their rules when it comes to Kyrie Irving because he is one of the keys to unluck their strong performance to climb to the NBA finals but they instead choose to make it hard for him until today. Got some good news about that, Kevin Durant is likely to play again as early as 1st week of the March and the Nets will be much more stronger again as their injured superstar will come back again to dominate the court. Durant almost missed 20 games after he suffered a sprained MCL in his left knee. LINK: Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to return to the floor next week, Nets coach Steve Nash said on SaturdayAnd for Ben Simmons, he is expected to make his debut soon wearing a Nets uniform in a match against the Sixers but it looks like he won't make it as he's now injured before his expected debut. Any thoughts about this? It looks like he's avoiding his scheduled debut date LINK: Ben Simmons on a reconditioning processThat's what happens when you sit out like a baby. Them muscles tighten up. I don't hate the kid but I Lost respect for what he did. Quit on his teammates. Can't say I'd be super excited if I was on the Nets to have him on the team. I would like to see a Nets sixers playoff series though now  don't think Ben would be treated kindly if he drives the paint |

Series 1 2011 BTC 338 were made
Series 2 2011 BTC 29 were made.. this is a series 2 and should stay unopened imo for future numismatic value
My understanding is there were 487 total Series 2 - 25 BTC coins, which makes them less rare than the 345 total series 1 - 25 BTC coins (referencing the Ahonen encyclopedia here). However, it seems you're referring to the "load year" of an S2 coin? In that case, then yes, only 29 of the S2 25 BTC coins were loaded in 2011. That being said, the coin above appears to be loaded in 2012, along with 196 other coins. Do people really care about the load year, though? Still a beeeeeeautiful coin, and still very rare. Hope it finds a good home. Yeah load year and even load month is definitely a thing. Find an early ~September 2011 loaded error coin it will go for much more than the same error coin that was loaded months later. For me personally I value matching load year and year the coin was struck as "more valuable" than ones that are not. This is just me others don't care either way. |

Knicks wasted a career night from rj dropping 46. Still got crushed. No matter the lineup thibs puts in this team is weak. And to boot a shining quentin grimes got punked by PJ tucker. Set an ugly "illegal" pick and the kick dislocated his knee cap. Dirty af if you ask me but that's been pj's MO his career. Knicks quickly running to the front end of the lottery again. Maybe they can draft Jordan Hill again.

Memphis at Chicago, this one is very tricky as the line opened at -1 for the home team and now it's currently +1.5. I'm not sure what's the reason for this line movement, probably because Memphis is in a losing streak and they are due for a win here?
Honestly, I'm not seeing the point why the Bulls are the underdog while Lavine, DeRozan, and Vecevic are going to play in this game.
Agreed the bulls at home SHOULD be the favorite. I'm taking the bulls -1.5. Leading the east at home full strength. No reason to be an underdog. I'm also taking the under on this one. It's set at 237.5 and think it will be a little tighten and not an all out sprint for 48. Might parlay that up. |

Tonight I like a couple of games. Give me the Suns-6 at home. No matter the lineup I like Suns chances at home. Then I like the Jazz by -5.5 against the Mavericks. Again jazz at home I like even against Luka and crew. Good luck to everyone tonight!

DeMar DeRozan is playing really well, he had a great performance against Atlanta so they were able to win the game. In my opinion, a player who should be MVP contributes to his team by scoring more than 30 points in every game. Even though the Chicago Bulls aren't having a great season but I love this player I can't tell if you're joking or not.. You know the Chicago bulls are in first place for the entire eastern conference ? They are having a great season. I agree with you that an MVP must include the fact that they are leading their team to a strong year. Unfortunately he's still considered to be 3rd or 4th in the MVP voting race. I would agree that Joel Embiid is most deserving of it right now, but Demar is second most deserving in my opinion. Of course it was a joke, I can't believe this team won't finish 1st while I want DeMar DeRozan to be the MVP. I just want this team to be better. I am very curious about how they will succeed in the playoffs, I think they have a chance to become NBA champions after a long time. But I don't know how many players in the team will be enough for this Bulls plating great. Would Def say embid is playing out of his mind this year but yeah derozen is playing well. As a knick fan here is how the 2009 draft went down GS drafted 7th: steph curry Knicks 8th: Jordan Hill Toronto 9th: dar derozen Well played knicks well played. Lol and where is Jordan Hill now? That's some bad scouting right there. However, they could've picked Curry If the GSW didn't have him first. But worst part is, the Knicks missed Derozan. I can say the Knicks doesn't really have a good taste on how to win championships lol. 2011 and 2012 Knicks might be an exception, it's just the Heat were unstoppable during those years. The Knicks were all over steph and they needed a point guard bad. Even worse might be the Timberwolves they had the 2 picks right before golden state and picked two point guards. Ricky Rubio and Johnny Flynn lol. But Jordan hill.lasted a couple years. He wasn't a good nba player at all. Knicks usually miss on all draft picks. |

Dear all, We are part of Ibiza Token, and are also giving classes in Ibiza about NFTs and their utility in Ibiza. Also about blockchain and all the uses it can have. As Ibiza is a great place for attention, and important for mass adoption of the technology (around 10 million tourists yearly) we are developing there a DAO with our own utility token (IBZ) and own NFT marketplace (nft.ibizatoken.com) We are working on NFT ticketing, Utility NFTs with partners (hotels, artistic venues, tourist places,...), art NFTs,... But we would like your opinion on what you think is important we focus next. So, What industries do you think are going to be the most disrupted by NFTS? Music? Sports? Insurances? You can help us on our thread here: https://twitter.com/IbizaToken/status/1494348414418657289?t=3DhlzhBl-Z8dIMBkyCPIAg&s=19I think sports and in particular the ticketing industry this can be useful. Having certain nfts gets you into certain sections of a stadium maybe for VIPs, gets you access to buy something before the general public etc. In general I think 99.9999% nft projects are cash grabs, once the dust settles I will make my judgment on whether there is staying power with nfts or not. |

E. Mobley 15+ PR / J. Allen 1+ block / J. Allen 12+ pts @1.75Cavs will play today's game without their two top guards, Garland and LeVert are both injured and will not play. This will undoubtedly have an influence on their offense, as the total of 209 is the lowest across all games today. Regardless, i feel the Cavs are the superior team and will win even if they are heavily handicapped. Due to the absence of Garland and LeVert, Allen and Mobley will see an increase in their offensive touches, they also face a Detroit interior defense that is not very good. J. Allen should easily dominate his matchup against the undersized 6'8 I. Stewart. Rondo's total assist line is at O/U 6.5, which is probably worth considering given that he is starting for Cleveland. Rondo had 12 assists the last time the Cavs were without both Garland and LeVert. I agree I still think Cleveland will take this fairly easily. I like the cavs -5.5. Also like the bulls at home -3. And last pick of the night taking Memphis on the road -2. Memphis is the real deal and anytime the spread is this low I'm jumping on them. I think the Timberwolves will make a nice push at the end here but Memphis is too strong still. Good luck everyone Ouch 1-2 last night. And the bulls barely came through for me. Disappointed on how Cleveland came out of the gate after the all star break. I know they didn't have garland but they should have been able to easily handle Detroit. And Memphis pfft they looked lifeless at points. Young team wonder how they do in the playoffs. |

I wonder if such threads are created after every rise in altcoins? It was especially epic that after a 10% rise, the coins dropped 16% after the events in Ukraine. I think the altcoin season is still a long way off, so don't try to call the bounce a reversal.
Just because there was a time when altcoins rush the market in tes of price doesn'tean it has to happen again. Eventually these pump and dump markets will get smarter and these completely useless coins like meme coins won't ever have a time again to flourish. Another alt rush if it happens won't be for another very long time. Lots of profit taking because we bottom out again. |

OMG crypto is low ! what do i do ?
Well let me tell you what you do when crypto is low (shhh don't tell anyone it's a secret ...):
1.You build dapps
2.You create nfts
3.You start selling something
4.You create tokens
etc...
Why ? Gas fees are low when crypto is down ...when crypto is down be creative.
Stack sats. The theory is easy, buy low sell high. People refuse to buy when thing s are low but can't help themselves to Yolo in when when everything is at all time highs. Leave emotions out of it. Does bitcoin have the same future outlook at $69k and now at $38k? Yep so why wouldn't you want to dive into the ability to buy twice the amount now then you could have only months ago. It's easy...put your head down and always stack sats. |

Coinmarketcap reports that today the 10 largest market cap crypto assets have started moving back into the green in the last 24 hours.
And this morning the most shining altcoin was Terra (LUNA) which passed 8.2% at $55.3 dollars.
Then Solana (SOL) also rose to the level of 87.32 US dollars or rose 3.5%, and Binance Exchange (BNB) which rose 3.4% to $373.4.
Likewise, the price of bitcoin is now in the position of $38,184, up 2.4% compared to the previous day.
And there are several other altcoins such as Cardano (ADA), ETH, DOT, and Dogecoin which rose 1.06% to $0.13 dollars.
Hopefully there will be more progress for all crypto prices.
This will happen in weak markets still. You can't look at short turn gains or losses to see trends. This is DEFINITELY a down market and that was just a decent short turn run. Most traders that are swing trading will take profits off the table and it will swing right back. Look at the charts on a monthly basis, zoom out and you will see the real action of what's happening. |

I just found out about this, this means if it's a draw again at old Trafford, there will be extra time and a Penalty kick. I think it's good, even though drawing in Villareal's home, MU gives a bit of resistance for the host. Yes, this new regulation actually gives pros and cons. But imo, this is fair enough to maximize their games even at home or away. If the result until the extra time is still a draw, it will be a dramatic penalty between Man United vs Atletico Madrid then, then.  I still have no idea which will win, but Man United should have a higher chance to score. But once more, let's see, sometimes, this club also play unpredictably and surprising with some losses For Elanga itself, maybe he will because of his contribution so far. Some predict this in the next leg. I still think that neither Manchester United nor Atletico Madrid will want to bring the matter to extra time and will try to decide the outcome of the match in their favor in regular time. Moreover, Manchester United will play at their home stadium with the support of their fans, so you can still give MU some advantage due to this factor. Manchester now have a huge advantage that they can play at home, with the 1-1 score in the bag. That's no guarantee they'll go through, but they're in a good starting position and I think they're heavy favorites too. Atletico are not a strong team on paper, but they have not convinced this season. United not always, but individually United are still far above Madrid. And Ronaldo knows better than anyone how to score goals against Atletico Madrid. Yeah I thought Madrid was gonna go up 2-1 with that late shot off the crossbar. Tough draw for them they looked spectacular in the first half. Think man u definitely has the edge here but any given Sunday. Who knows will male for an interesting game no doubt. |

I’m glad to see that DeMarcus Cousins is getting a contract with the Denver Nuggets for the rest of the season. Sacramento did him dirty and it’s been nothing but injuries and missed opportunities since then. It appears he’s finally gotten himself into a position where he can rebuild his game and show the league what he is capable of. He may never put up the monster numbers he did in Sacramento ever again, but he’s certainly got a couple years left where he could be a menace off the bench for a contender.
The dude was a monster back then and he can still be a good asset for the Denver Nuggets especially to preserve Jokic's health and to give him more rest. We will see how effective he is with the team after the All-star game where the teams double their effort to preserve their spot in the playoff or to catch up and snatch it from others. Denver Nuggets' last game is a crucial win and Cousins has just shown them how he can handle situations like that even you gonna play against a top contender team, you're not gonna play soft. Last year, we've seen a lot of team turning around after the all star break, like New York Knicks, Atlanta Hawks and Washington Wizards. So we might want to watch out the Nuggets with the addition of Cousins to be the back up of Jokic. I'm seeing that there could be games that he can score 15-20 points and grab 10 rebounds. And he could be a perfect fit for the Denver team. Cousin's can still do that, if the coaching staff will be able to maximize him, his addition to the Nuggets can give Jokic enough rest. We don't know yet if what they are planning after signing Cousin but this guy is not just a backup but a good provider when giving a good minutes inside the court. If it's not because of his injuries, he might have better career ahead, but boogieman's injuries' keep coming back and that's hurting his career. Denver signed him for just that though. They aren't going to play jokic and cousins on the floor both with starter minutes. That would be a spacing disaster. Cousins will probably play 15 minutes or so as a change of pace from jokic and when they need someone to clog the middle. Not to mention the dude hasn't played nba pace for awhile. He isn't going to just plug in and have the stamina of a starter. |
