Frankfurt against Gladbach is a game where nobody can win anything in the league, but still the stadium is full to the last seat. You can see that in Frankfurt's line-up. Only goalkeeper Trapp, Tuta and Ndicka were in the starting lineup, which is a sign. The 0:1 by Plea was well played out.
The first half is over. Plea's quick goal really surprised the Frankfurt players because they didn't seem ready there. But it seems that in this match both teams seemed to be careful which made this match a bit monotonous and not exciting. there were only a few chances created during these 45 minutes as the game was mostly in midfield This is really expected, both teams don't really show much potential to really make a big change with a certain position, and I think these two teams have already accepted their faith in landing on the 10th and 12th positions, but I should say I really missed when Monchengladbach is winning every game but right now they are just equally not formidable at the moment, let's just all just wit for the next season, Bayern Munich is already behind again. They are lucky that the rest have left so many points from the start. This is definitely not the dominant Bayern Munich from years ago. They have lost quite a few points in the competition. In the Champions League it was also a failure against Villareal. it would be good for German football if a team like RB Leipzig or Leverkusen were to become champions one time. Dortmund would also be possible, but they will miss Haaland next season.
Bayern Munich is just comfortable in their spot, so they are slacking off right now that is why I am staying away from betting for Bayern Munich because they have a horrible play right now, I would have my hopes on Dortmund, and Leipzig to win, because they are badly needing every win they can get, just to stay on that position, or making any progress and not a good time to really bet on Bayern Munich because they already know that they have won, However, the Bundesliga champions have already become Bayern Munich. Still, fans expect good gameplay from them. In the previous match, Munich had lost 3-1 against Mainz. Even today, their performance against Stuttgart is not good. The match is now in a 2-2 draw. Stuttgart scored the first goal of the match. At the end of the first half, Munich was leading 2-1. Stuttgart equalized early in the second half.
The fans will expect a lot from Bayern Munich, and this draw is a somewhat mockery that they didn't care at all, well any time they are faced with an opponent that they can usually beat, they are slacking so much that they didn't care at all, This is surely normal for some fans because they already know that Bayern Munich even if they lose a game they are still the champion but what about fans that didn't know and are new to this kind of side of Bayern Munich that is expecting a lot and have bet on the big time, then it is goodbye for their money, indeed. |

Rose Namajunas VS Carla Esparza Round 5 LOST
-snip-
I had the boxing on at the same time, so I was fortunately able to just watch that instead, but from what I saw that was one of the worst fights I've ever seen. I don't think you could call it a fight. Thought the scorecards were a little wild on it, and to be honest from what I saw, I'm quite glad Rose lost that title. At least Esparza tried to close the distance, and got a few takedowns, while Rose basically shadow boxed the whole fight, and then was surprised why she didn't win. Most anti fighting I've ever seen from a fighter. I don't want to see that rematch, that's for sure. I just don't understand what the gameplan is, fair enough if she got a few punches off, and then avoided engaging, but she did it right from the off. I honestly had the first two rounds as a 10-10, because nothing actually happened at all, so it was impossible to score in favour of anyone. I agree with all of your thoughts on the fight, and it was really a horrible one Namajunas might have Izzy's style of evading Esparza's takedowns and strikes, but she is not aggressive and explosive enough to get the right timing to take the leap like her last takedown was too late it was good but it was really so much lately, and the crowd is really getting annoyed by what is happening, I think their coach is somewhat to blame here I really don't understand their gameplan at all, and their coach is saying that they are winning, what? by doing nothing? this might be absurd but I really want to see Namajunas fight again like what she did with Zhang Weili, and pretty much this is not the Namajunas back then, and on a post-interview, she said that she won the fight she has done every detail there is to win the fight, which is I think delusional, This is not the Rose Namajunas that I know and love, but I think her coach is to blame for this.
Justin rushed, and that was his downfall. Although, Olivera caught Justin multiple times, and hurt him. So, really I don't know how that fight would've gone if Justin didn't dive into that submission. I thought he was doing the right thing for most of the fight, Olivera would take guard as soon as he got hurt, and Justin would ask for him to stand up. That was the game plan, and he needed to not engage on the ground at all, I guess with the excitement of hurting him again he just forgot about the game plan, and ultimately paid the price.
Although, I enjoyed the fight I do wish it went on for a little longer, as it was shaping up to a very entertaining, and competitive fight. Olivera has more power than I thought, and his dangerous ground game, means he can get rocked, and fighters will be reluctant to pounce on him.
Justin Gaethje has some points in the 1st round, but Charles Oliveira has capitalized on It fast, and pretty much Oliveira just needed to push that striking to Gaethje, and when he sees that opening to Gaethje Oliveira have capitalize from that, and Justin Gaethje just panicked and has given his back to Oliveira, pretty much Charles Oliveira needs his belt, not a title match because he is already champion, just give his belt to him, I really think he deserves that title belt, and they just got a fluke on the weight, but a rules a rule, that is why Oliveira needs to follow it, |

Here are my picks for tomorrow's game highlighted in green are picks
Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns
Stake odds for this game are 2.16 for the Mavericks while 1.73 for the Suns, right now the Mavericks have Tim Hardaway Jr. and can not for the team, because of a foot injury, while Torrey Craig is questionable if he can play for the Suns, this could be a rough time for the Suns, again the Mavericks is playing at home so they will be having an advantage again just like the last game, but I guess the Suns just need a little push and they need a rest they can get, but I will still be siding with the Phoenix Suns,
Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat
Stake odds for this game are 1.79 for the 76ers while 2.08 for the Heat, right now Isaiah Joe and Joel Embiid are questionable if they can play for the 76ers, while Tyler Herro, Max Strus, Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent, Dewayne Dedmon, P.J. Tucker, and Kyle Lowry is questionable for the Heat, for this game if Joel Embiid can play again for the 76ers this is a win for the 76ers again, and they have the home-court advantage, that will surely give them a boost to really win the game, I guess the 76ers just need Joel Embiid to win this game, and a push for James Harden's low performance to take the momentum for this game, my pick will be the Philadelphia 76ers,

Here is the result for my picks on UFC 274
Charles Oliveira VS Justin Gaethje Round 1 WIN
Justin Gaethje said that Oliveira will quit but in this fight, he is the one that quits, I got to Admit Charles Oliveira is following their game plan he has seen some openings to Gaethje, and from that moment, he really caught Justin Gaethje and he was down, that level of stand-up on Oliveira and because of that he caught Gaethje on the ground and of course Justin Gaethje doesn't show any level of Jiu-Jitsu or even struggle or defended on the ground he just literally given his back to Charles Oliveira that Oliveira capitalizes to get that rear-naked choked, Charles Oliveira is a true champion he needs to get back his belt,
Rose Namajunas VS Carla Esparza Round 5 LOST
Well I can not say for sure what I am watching but for sure Rose Namajunas was mimicking Israel Adesanya, but without those strikes, I could say he can surely defend from all those takedowns, man I thought that Rose Namajunas would be aggressive here but there was no much striking, but the judges have judged the fight on Octagon control and not with the fighters advantage and striking, but I am not happy with the fight at all, it is like they don't want to fight at all, I really don't enjoy that fight but I will still look forward on what Namajunas would do or who will she fight next, I don't really think Carla Esparza win this fight and who is the champion at all, but I wish a rematch will take place, but not like this fight it was garbage of a fight, Namajunas might remember what happened to their first fight for always focusing on that takedown defense,
Michael Chandler VS Tony Ferguson - Round 2 WIN
I hate to say it but I was wrong for saying that Tony Ferguson was weak, he was dominating the 1st round, and all of the stand-up Tony Ferguson was reading Michael Chandler's every move, parrying, countering, and Chandler is just grazing Ferguson, even though Chandler has taken down Ferguson, and Tony was on the ground, many though that Chandler is pulverizing Ferguson, but it just grazing Ferguson, Tony Ferguson has the advantage over Chandler, I got to admit Chandler doesn't have the technicality when it comes to a stand-up fight, but he surely got the power in takedowns, powering and lifting Ferguson, slamming him on the ground, but even though Ferguson is dominating the fight Michael Chandler got an idea a strike that likely he is not using and caught Tony Ferguson by surprise, that Knockout cold Ferguson, and that is a straight leg kick to the chin, a lot of props to Tony Ferguson, he have shown how great of a fighter he really is, and now he is leaving the UFC, and some fans will really miss him but Michael Chandler just shown how he plays an unusual and not really planed and execute it without his opponent knowing it, Ferguson was really surprise from that kick.

I've had series of back to back losses in the last couple of games tbh after such great start to the post season. Kuminga is starting for Warriors today so I believe he'll be getting some minutes more on the floor with GP's absence, I saw a bookie offering him Over 6.5 Points @ 1.86, I just had to take it, lol. I hope I don't regret it   Tbh, I also feel like putting a bit on the Grizzlies ML @ 3.40, but these kids be too playful and can't even hold on to any tangible lead they build in game down the stretch, and I'd have love them to take a win here to make the series rather more interesting. EDIT: Kuminga with 4 already in the first few minutes, looking like a steal bet already Speaking of which, I got one win in early enough, Grizzlies to lead by 12 points or more at any point of the game @ 3.40, glad they had a great start and covered just before 6 minutes, but they're beginning to choke, as usual.  And because of that, you didn't regret that the Warriors have already won the match against the Memphis Grizzlies, it was a great game, I haven't made a bet because I was busy last night, but it was a great game to watch and I love their effort in the defense giving their all without Gary Payton II it is not a problem to them at all, at the 1st quarter the Memphis have already gained their momentum, but after the 2nd Quarter it was a changing game and because of their defense on Jo Morant, Morant just got 34 points, while the Slpash Trio, have shared the point to each players the Golden State Warriors really shows their motto to this game Streght in numbers, I guess for those who bet on the Warriors with the handicap, it gave us some panic in the first quarter with the way Memphis shoots the ball.
But I didn't see Steve Kerr calling a timeout and eventually allow them to compete. And so this is a big win by the Warriors as they just walk and the winner decided with still 2 minutes left. Hopefully though that Morant can still play next game we want this series to be a thriller.
It is not over until the game is over, the Warriors really show heart in the game the Splash Trio made a real impact with the offense and with the defense, the Warriors have proven how effective their defense is really amazing they really compete as a team not like the Grizzlies that letting Ja Morant play through with that past face Jaren Jackson Jr. got 15 points while Desmond Bane got 16 and their main man Ja Morant only has 34 points the Warriors defense have lockdown Morant, while the Warriors have Klay Thompson got 21 points, Jordan Poole has 27 points, and Stephen Curry got 30 a comeback from a lost game and this is great news for Gary Payton II. |

FC Cologne disappointed me today because I was expecting them to win the game in their home in front of their fans but they lost, the game is becoming too difficult because the better teams are now dropping points making punters lose funds in their predictions, I hope Wolfsburg continue with this performance so they can come up in the table again.
In the match between Koln and Wolfsburg, my guess was that Koln would win. But unfortunately, they lost 1-0. However, I liked the gameplay of Koln's players throughout the match. The match was dominated by Koln's players. They were not able to score even after attacking a lot. However, their gameplay has fascinated me.
Well, we all got those poor decisions in picking whos going to win, it was a close game and I think Wolfsburg deserves this for not backing down, and yeah looking at Koln game stat they are really on the advantage with this game, but their luck just runs out, in not able to put the ball in the goal, and Wolfsburg defense has proven OK and effective against Koln, in my opinion, Wolfsburg is just unlucky in this season, and they can return in the next season full of energy and will to really comes up to the top, I really like Wolfsburg, but Koln just got unlucky with things.
Bad decision on Furth honestly, i expected a heavy win by Dortmund and over 3.5 goals and it came in as a win. But when i saw 0-1 only it was close . Furth even had 1-1 at one point but they conceded a fast goal after that and the match was over after that
I got to admit I got it wrong, it is because of the number of injuries Dortmund has, and I thought that Erling Haaland couldn't play for this game, but Erling Haaland have played the game but just in the 1st half of the game, and he doesn't really have done much maybe because of his injuries, but luckily I didn't make a bet for this game but still go with my pick, and didn't change it even though I have seen Erling Haaland will play on the game, it is all thanks to Julian Brandt remarkable performance, and not relying much on Erling Haaland was a good choice, |

Here are the results for yesterday's game
Hoffenheim VS Leverkusen GOAL 2 - 4 - WIN
I think Hoffenheim was thinking lucky when they got 2 goals, and Leverkusen just got one because of their best goaler Patrik Schick, I thought that Leverkusen was a goner at first but in the 2nd half of the game everything was all in favor for Leverkusen when Moussa Diaby Scores, it was followed by Patrik Schick, then a couple of minutes have passed, and Lucas Alario has made the 4th goal for Leverkusen, that was a tremendous come back for Leverkusen, and a fun game to watch.
Furth VS Dortmund GOAL 1 - 3 - LOST
I really think the Furth will have a handicap match against Dortmund, and it is a good thing that I haven't made a risky bet for Furth, because I am having my doubts that is why I haven't continued that bet, and after seeing Erling Halaand playing I was on relief that I have stop betting for Furth, and after the 82' stoppage Erling Haaland is out of the field and getting sub by Youssoufa Moukoko well maybe because of his injuries and Dortmund now got their 3 goals lead so it is a safe spot to let Erling Haaland rest until the game ends and Julian Brandt did a remarkable performance,
SC Freiburg VS Union Berlin GOAL 1 - 4 - LOST
I have my pick for a draw for these games, but I didn't expect Union Berlin will get their win, I should have expected that to happen and it was an upset game for Freiburg because they are at home, and this is a big win for Union Berlin and a crucial game for Freiburg so they could stay on the 4th spot, but if Leipzig could win this they can end up changing Freigburg's place, so I am still happy with the results,
Koln VS Wolfsburg GOAL 0 - 1 - LOST
I should have gone for the Wolfsburg, to win this, but I didn't expect Koln to let this slip just because the season is nearing its end, pretty much Koln is slacking off here, and Wolfsburg is in a high spirit with this game, I should have ut my bet on Wolfsburg because I really like Wolfsburg not much as Leipzig but because of Wolf's name on them, but seriously Wolfsburg is kind of lucky this time.

Here is my pick for the UFC 274
Charles Oliveira VS Justin Gaethje
I really know how awful it is for Oliveira to fight right now because of what happened at the weigh-in, he got stripped of his belt pretty much it is unfortunate and it was his unlucky day for something like this to happen, but for me even though there is a lot going up on his mind right now it doesn't mean that he would slack off from his fight, I think he Charles Oliveira will be in his 100% form, in my opinion, Oliveira can surely finish this in whatever fashion he like Justin Gaethje will be slick with his stand-off fight, and Oliveira needs to really move his head for Gaethje jabs, and because Oliveira doesn't have a good chin, but Oliveira's advantage on this was his reach and he needs to stay on that reach and pressure Gaethje with it, and there is a tendency that Justin Gaethje can lose his focus and may get away from Oliveira's strikes this could be an opportunity for Oliveira in getting on his takedown that is why my pick is still Charles Oliveira.
Rose Namajunas VS Carla Esparza
Wow! look at Rose Namajunas Height on Carla Esparza on the weight in, height and reach advantage pretty much Namajunas can just stay on that reach and give Esparza a hard time with strikes, we can all agree that a win from Zhang Weili is not a fluke it is really well executed by her, and even though Rose Namajunas is in an advantage over Esparza I think she will not underestimate her opponent and could take a technical approach towards her, so my pick will be Rose Namajunas.
Michael Chandler VS Tony Ferguson
Looks like age has given Tony Ferguson a makeover, he looks tired and weak on that picture, or that picture was only a setup so Chandler would lower his guard down, I really wish that Chandler would not give Ferguson a handicap, just because he is retiring from the UFC, I really want Chandler to give him a great fight that he can remember even though it is a lost remark, a great fight is what Tony Ferguson would want, and I really think that Chandler is in his top shape so my pick will be Michael Chandler.

Bayern Munich are toughest team in Bundesliga having won their league this season. They are topping borussia Dortmund with 12 presently. There's no hope for Dortmund to compete with the Bundesliga giant since they misused their chances of topping the league. Bayern boss, Julian Nagelsmann is the main man behind the Bayer victories and Bayern Munich have improved massively interms of playing on the pitch and goal scoring. Bayern top frontline Robert Lewandowski is the key player in their league games and also the highest goalscorer. Although they were eliminated from the champions league by an inferior team, Villarreal. Their defeat was as a result of frustration and underestimation. Bayern Munich will do better next Season in the champions league.
Well, everything you have said we are already aware of it, and right now Lewandowski is the real deal and many teams outside of the Bundesliga really want to get their hands on the great goaler of a Lewandowski caliber, well this season we are all aware the faith of the Bundesliga who will be the champion, and Dortmund is a little short when it comes with the need of players because Erling Haaland got injured and pretty much the Dortmund needs the help they can get, Bayern Munich still got their chance to be champion in the UEFA League but right now they are champion in the Bundesliga,
i also believe that no decision will be made today... stuttgart will lose in munich and it will come to a showdown next week, which of the two clubs (bielefeld or stuttgart) will be relegated directly or will still have the chance to play against the third-placed team from the 2. bundesliga...
if hertha bsc berlin wins today at home against mainz 05, then they have saved themselves and again had a lot of luck and can thank coach Felix Magath
I really wish that Stuttgart will not be relegated, but if that is their faith so be it, Arminia is a great team, in my opinion, there are times that it is always a close game for them but they got a heart in getting ahead of the other team, but as the season ends they need to face the consequence on being regulated, and that is how it should be one should be sacrificed to the underworld, just kidding. Hoffenheim vs Leverkusen and actually whatever the results of this match will not affect the position of the two teams in the league standings because Leverkusen certainly will playing at champion league next season and Hoffenheim also will not be relegated but Hoffenheim confirmed want to ended bad results through this match and i think they have good opportunity to win the match because Leverkusen already reached their target so this is not their priority match again
I don't think that Bayer Leverkusen will just give up because they have achieved their target, it doesn't make sense in my opinion. After all, all teams want the best results and close the league with a win, even if they can record positive results with consecutive wins. There is nothing for Leverkusen to give up, even though they have already got one important ticket for next season. I am scared for Leverkusen as we speak the score right now is 2 - 1 and Hoffenheim is really putting on a great game against the Leverkusen, which is the favorite to win, right now they are in the halftime there is still a chance for Leverkusen to make the game a draw or get a move on getting 2 more goals, it is not finished until it is finished. |

Here is the result for today's game, I am pretty much Surprised with the results of the Phoenix Suns VS Dallas Mavericks but after watching the highlights I was pretty amaze, on how the 76ers and Mavericks gain a win over this teams,
Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 1 - 2) SCORE 99 - 79 - WIN
Even though Joel Embiid is not at his 100% he sure done a lot of things to make the 76ers win the game he contribute a double-double performance for the team, that actually make them win, even though the Heat Jimmy Butler was super great that night having 33 points it was unfortunate because the Hear is not playing as a team, which the 76ers are now playing with Joel Embiid, and he got double-double of 11 rebounds 18 points, with Danny Green and Tyrese Maxey both have 21 points winning the game as a team,
Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns (Suns Leads 1 - 2) SCORE 103 - 94 - LOST
The Phoenix Suns, really needs a break, CP3 and Devin Booker is not quite performing very well, I think they need a break, but they still done a great job but it was not enough, Deandre Ayton having a double-double of 11 rebounds and 16 points, While Chris Paul has 12 points Devin Booker 18 points and Jae Crowder on 19 was not really enough against Mavericks double-double of Luka Doncic, that is 13 rebounds and 26 points, while Jalen Brunson have 18 points winning against an exhausted Suns,

-snip-
I'll say it again, I think that whatever Justin does god, Olives does better (except for the knocking out part itself), and not only am I not counting him out, I actually think he will win this. Justin will have issues when the distance is closed for some dirty boxing that Oliveira likes to implement, grappling will be on Oliv's side and even some decent striking could be up to par with Justins. Oliveira has one of the best boxing and added to that his Jiu-Jitsu is something fighters don't want to ignore, and even Justin Gaethje will surely have trouble dealing with fighters that finish the fight on the ground, but I think the reach advantage of Charles Oliviera can be a big factor here and he just needs to stay on his range and doesn't need to be crazy with pressure, Gaethje can have that advantage, and the tendency for Justin Gaethje to lose to Oliveira is if he losses posture that would surely create an opening for Oliveira to slip a takedown,
Tony looks sad because of missing opportunities. He has been a marvellous fighter, but due to controversies with UFC (I remember he had hard times with Dana), he was either inactive for a long period or got opponents that he did not really want or victory over them did not give him much. How many times he had fights against Khabib cancelled? 3?
Or, he might be very tired due to weight cutting before this photo set. Or due to all these strikes to the face, he looks older than he really is.
I have sympathy to Tony, he is way better and interesting fighter than others in rooster. With his "ready to die in octagon", I feel really pity every time I see his bloody face in octagon.
I feel the same too, I am not a fan of Tony Ferguson, but I am really saddened about this picture, struggling to be the best in his career, but ending up not being on the top, I really think it is time for him to settle down and move on and try other careers, he can surely teach younger kids to be fit and open up his own gym, train younger generations on what he has learned on the UFC, he can surely do that, but I feel sad that he doesn't reach his goals on the UFC, but happy that he will have rest, but to find peace is for him to uncover, it will surely take time, but I will really miss that there was once a Tony Ferguson, that becomes a Legend inside the Octagon. It appears this weight issue for Charlie Olives is causing many people to doubt him hehehe. He did not have a weight issue. In an interview after his weigh in he said he went to sleep with the right weight, however, he woke up 0.5 pounds overweight and he cannot reduce it back to 155 pounds. He was not dehydrated, I reckon. I predict Charlie Olives will submit Justin Gaethje with rear naked choke hehehe.
This must be so frustrating for Charles Oliveira, when he is up on the weighing scale he is pretty much confident that he made the weight but unfortunately after the judge has said that he didn't make it, It was a frustrating and curious Oliveira, fighting Justin Gaethje could have no drive anymore, he might be thinking what is the purposed of this fight, he was stripped of his belt and not a champion anymore, even if Oliveira win this fight he isn't champion anyone, he needs to win another fight just be to champion again, now many are really doubting Oliveira now, there are many things on his head that could cause him to lose on this fight, and the first champion to be stripped of the belt because he missed weight in. |

Both games at that level seems to be a win if you look at it right now, still unknown of course but I will wager on them. Freiburg is playing Union Berlin as well, which Freiburg should be able to win, and Leipzig will definitely beat Augsburg as well. Both wins will see nothing changed in the league and there will be only one game left, Leipzig needs to get both wins and hope that Freiburg loses at least one of them or their chances to be in champions league will be gone forever. Germany in general needs to do better outside of just Bayern, seems to be a bit of a problem in the recent years. Leipzig with the amount of funds they have, should be doing much better for example. Well if Freiburg wins over Union Berlin, that is and I have looked at the recent game history of these two teams and it is not delightful to see for Freiburg fans because on October 24, 2020 match it was a draw (1 - 1) and on February 20, 2021, the game was (0 - 1) a win for Union Berlin, and on December 16, 2021, their match was also a draw (0 - 0) so this game could be a draw as well, but let's see I really think that Union Berlin has a slick tight defense for Freiburg to crack,
And here are my picks for today's game highlighted in green are my picks, Hoffenheim VS Leverkusen Stake odds for this game are 3.20 for Hoffenheim and 4.10 for Draw while 2.09 for Leverkusen, Right now for the Hoffenheim they have Chris Richards, Havard Nordtveit, Dennis Geiger, Marco John, Florian Grillitsch, Benjamin Hübner, and Ermin Bicakcic mostly has injuries and can not play against the Leverkusen, and Munas Dabbur is at risk of suspension, while in the Leverkusen team, had Karim Bellarabi, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Amine Adli, Florian Wirtz, Zidan Sertdemir, and Jeremie Frimpong, can not play for the Leverkusen, I really think with the number of injuries the Hoffenheim have even though it is not their main players, I really think that Leverkusen will win this game, Furth VS DortmundStake odds for this game are 8.60 for Furth and 6.40 for Draw while 1.30 for Dortmund, right now Furth has Robin Kehr, Marco Meyerhöfer, and Havard Nielsen got injuries and can not play for Furth, while Jetro Willems and Abdourahmane Barry can not play as well because of Suspension, and Paul Seguin, Branimir Hrgota, and Max Christiansen is at risk of getting suspended, while on the Dortmund side they got Marcel Schmelzer, Mateu Morey Bauzà, Thomas Meunier, Steffen Tigges, Donyell Malen, Giovanni Reyna, Thorgan Hazard, Mahmoud Dahoud, Mats Hummels, Gregor Kobel, and Erling Haaland, all can not play for Dortmund, while Jude Bellingham, Axel Witsel, Mats Hummels, Thomas Meunier, and Marius Wolf, now this is a hard call but with this much injuries for Dortmund this is really alarming but again the season is already going to end, and I am most likely tempted to bet for Furth, or Furth could even win against Dortmund, but let's try just this once, SC Freiburg VS Union Berlin - DRAWStake odds for this game are 1.96 for Freiburg and 3.75 for Draw while 3.80 for Union Berlin, Right now Freiburg got Yannik Keitel, Kevin Schade, and Noah Weißhaupt, who can not play for Freiburg, while Ermedin Demirovic and Nico Schlotterbeck is at risk of getting suspended, while Anthony Ujah, Timo Baumgartl, and András Schäfer, can not play for Union Berlin, while Christopher Trimmel and Sheraldo Becker, is at risk of getting suspended, in the past games these two teams are a draw, so I guess this could be a draw aswell, Koln VS WolfsburgStake odds for this game are 1.64 for Koln and 4.50 for Draw while 4.80 for Wolfsburg, right now Sebastian Andersson has coronavirus and can not play for Koln, while Benno Schmitz and Dejan Ljubicic are at risk of getting suspended, while Sebastiaan Bornauw, Luca Waldschmidt, Paulo Otávio, and William can not play because of injuries, for Wolfsburg, Maximilian Arnold, Kevin Mbabu, and Ridle Baku is at risk of getting suspended, right now so many notable names that are at risk of getting suspended and are injured for Wolfsburg so I think they will be having a hard time against Koln, so my pick will be for Koln. |

Here are my picks for today's game for the NBA Semifinals highlighted in green are my picks,
Philadelphia 76ers VS Miami Heat (Heat Leads 0 - 2)
Right now Stake.com's odds for this game can not be seen, because it was Suspended and the odds can not be seen on the stake site, but right now there is progress with 76er's injuries, right now Joel Embiid is questionable if he can play, and right now many are hype because they know that Joel Embiid is playing again, I guess the 76ers will not let the Heat prevail and win the third time, while the Heat has Kyle Lowry, P.J. Tucker, Caleb Martin, Gabe Vincent, Max Strus, and Tyler Herro questionable for the Heat if they can play, I truly believe in the return of Joel Embiid the 76ers will have a decent play right now, and they will not let another win for the Miami Heat so I am going with the 76ers this time.
Dallas Mavericks VS Phoenix Suns (Suns Leads 0 - 2)
Stake odds for this game are 1.94 for the Mavericks while 1.91 for the Suns, it seems a close odds this time, and right now the Mavericks have Tim Hardaway Jr. has a foot injury and can not play for this game right now, while the Suns have Dario Saric that has a knee injury and can not play for the Suns, that gameplay for Chris Paul he surely knows when to past and who he can count on to pass to make a play, CP3's decision in making plays are really remarkable and I am afraid this could be another win for the Phoenix Suns, so my pick will be the Suns.

leipzig are only 1 point away from freiburg and they must win from union if they want to continue to get tickets to the UCL next season. UCL is the competition most coveted by all european clubs and freiburg should be able to secure 1 place for them in the UCL. freiburg vs union : my prediction is 1-0 to win freiburg.
Pretty much Leipzig will surely win that game Augsburg can be a difficult at times but I think they can manage a win but anyway even if Leipzig could not win this, they can still have a chance next season I truly believe that may happen, and that will be a great time to get ready, oh how I wish that Leipzig could taste the Championship even if it's just 1 season. Freiburg, Leipzig and Leverkusen. All of these teams would compete well with each other to end the season for being the third and fourth. Leverkusen already seem like they are going to secure the third place in the league table. But the fourth place can change hands any time in the final two weeks. My favourite for the place is Leipzig to be honest. But I'm still not very confident about it as they are one point behind Freiburg.
I want Leipzig to overtake Freiburg if that can happen even if they don't have a chance on the 2nd standing, I am still excited for the next season, well the start of this season Bundesliga Leipzig just got a rough start I really don't know what happen but maybe it involves the Scynchonic play for players sometimes it is better to know what your teammates are capable of in order for the passer to take his belief that the that may get the ball can actually initiate a goal, and to create better gameplay at times. Leipzig's motivation is low, their last weeks have not been good. We will see if they can finish the league with a good ranking with their last strength, but their chances may have decreased. Freiburg might be a better candidate to finish 4th in the league. I think Leipzig has a little more chance of losing points  I really don't believe that, but their fighting spirits are all high even though they are in the 5th spot, if you look at their past game going from bottom to the top is not an easy feat to accomplish but they have attained the standard of gameplay to do it, that Is why I can root for certain plays that Leipzig could win in their crucial game. |

Haven't imagine that Brooks will go for something like that, he was just ejected and there's no news if he's suspended for the entire series or season because it was clear that he used brute force to commit an intentional foul on Gary Payton II. Now he is injured and probably cannot play even if the Warriors can made it to the Finals. That was really a dirty play and Kerr was right that he broke the code, but I don't seriously think that the whole Grizzlies team planned for it. I was frustrated, but Dillon Brooks is a good player that will not account for that kind of playstyle just to win, so I believe that he is a good player he doesn't commit a thing in the past, but that play he executed on Payton II was really a wrong code, and if he would be suspended because of that we really don't give him a chance to explain himself, yes I am frustrated on what happens to GP2 but this is basketball and a contact sports anything can surely happen in the heated of the game, he might do something to Payton to get injured but I don't think he deserves another game that he couldn't play, I think that game ejection was enough for that kind of offense, and yes the whole Grizzlies doesn't really plan anything about it, Basketball is a contact sport anything can happen inside the court.
Yeah, but there are bettors who likely made money on the Celtics because as I have said, they remain the favorite in game 2.
But looking at the odds for game 3 now, there is a shift, Bucks at 1.65 now, and Celtics at 2.16. Almost the same with the other as the games are moving on the home court of the opposing team.
The Boston Celtics VS Milwaukee Bucks is likely an interesting case, both teams can win over each other and both teams have their ups and downs and people are Switching sides because the Bucks will be playing on their home court and there might be an advantage for the Milwaukee Bucks, but we can not underestimate the Boston Celtics those players can really play under pressure and if the Celtics got to focus with their game, then this could be a win for them, but if Giannis Antetokounmpo will be pretty much in his good condition he might wreck havoc during this game, and as of not Marcus Smart is injured and can not play for this game, |

And always relying on Luka Doncic, I have seen they are letting Luka Doncic force his basket so much, that they don't realize that it is not going to work that way, the Phoenix Suns have a fast pace kind of play because of Devin Booker, and Chris Paul, they are like the Warriors but doesn't have any spare players that could take Bookers place,
Brunson who averaged over 20 points in the 1st round series is very much limited so far in the last 2 games. They have a very bad shooting percentage, except for Luka, will that change in game 3 and the Mavericks will have at least 1 win or will even the series? Taking the mavs is quite scary after seeing the last 2 games.  Would you dare? I admit I really don't dare, and if that shooting percentage doesn't come back then I think it will never ever, and back to the old relying on Luka Doncic, again for the Mavericks while the Phoenix Suns, will surely have a sweep when the Dallas Maverick wouldn't do a thing about that, and apparently, Luka Doncic doesn't always have the answer to the Mavericks problems, likely this could end up in a sweep just like what happened to the Brooklyn Nets,
Very crucial if Mavs will play that same system from the last 2 games, letting Luka to carry the all load, it will be tough and
a possible 4-0 swept from the Suns, Brunson needs to step up, just like thee way he did from round one series, he should be more aggressive to find
his rhythm. His contributions will be the big factor in winning a game against the Suns, and also, they need to adjust to the defense.
they need to be closer and not to allow Suns shooters to keep throwing high percentage shots.
The Mavericks should act as a team and not just carry the team on 1 player's shoulders it could be tough for Jalen Brunson to spread his performance to another level but if they learn how to act like a team, I really think they can have a fighting chance against the Phoenix Suns, they have the super all-star Luka Doncic and not treat him as a reliable tool to always just give him the ball and hope for the best the Phoenix Suns have seen this play before the Dallas Mavericks needs a new and better strategy to face the Phoenix Suns next game because if not a sweep will likely to happen. |

Yes, I also think it's not a problem with a schedule like that, because whatever their schedule I think they will still play competitively. What's more, if they get the schedule at the same time then I think they will play better to get better results too. Because when they get the schedule and it's not at the same time, then at that time the competing team that will play after, sometimes will play in a relaxed way if the other previous competing teams don't get perfect results and it can be a boring match.
That means they need to do everything whatever they can and play competitively because they don't know if there is a team knocking on their doorstep that will take their position to them, and I agree the Bundesliga is thinking of ways to keep things in a fairer way, Schedule fights are interesting, the thing that I don't think looks interesting was the match between Furth and Dortmund, the Bundesliga just really wants Furth to be destroyed even more, and Koln VS Wolfsburg is understandable in my opinion, It's not impossible, but they don't have much of a chance. I hope they succeed in becoming the champion, this team deserves many good things and it was one of my favorite teams this year. I think they can play well against Rangers and reach the final, but we will see if they can be champions, it will not be easy Yup! My favorite team aswell along with Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg and for the record, they have put up a great match in getting their game from the bottom to the top so they surely deserve to be champion, and I really wish that in the next season the faith will be more kind to them and if Robert Lewandowski will not be on Bayern anymore, and Erling Haaland is not with Dortmund then there is a chance for Leipzig to rise as champion next season, but this is all wishful thinking and we need to wait for the net season if the setup will be like that, but I highly doubt, |

The most interesting game this weekend will be Schalke against St. Pauli.
Bundesliga 2 only has 2 games left and schalke must be able to get all the victories to ensure their promotion next season, the competition at the top in my opinion is quite fierce this season, schalke, darmstadt and bremen will drop each other for a lead position to the main bundesliga next season, the match against St Paul is definitely not an easy match for Schalke because so far Schalke are also a strong team, so obviously it will be difficult for Schalke to get full points in the match, but even so I believe that Schalke will return to the main bundesliga next season. It seems that this game will be an easy one for Schalke if you look at the injury report for St. Pauli, you will surely have goosebumps and I think this will be a handicap for Schalke because there are 16 players that are unable to play for St. Pauli, including their top goaler Guido Burgstaller, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, is at risk of getting suspended, so this is really unfortunate for St. Pauli in getting a slight go up to the 4th standing but this is a sure win for Schalke. There are still 2 games left in 2. Bundesliga, for now the standings are led by Schalke with their 59 points, followed by Darmstadt and Werder Bremen with 57 points each. It looks like we will see Schalke and Werder Bremen again playing in the Bundesliga for next season. What do you think, will Schalke or Werder Bremen really play in the Bundesliga next season? For Schalke, it will be a sure thing for them to play in the 1st division that is for sure, but for Werder Bremen, they need to win their game and hope Darmstadt would lose their next game, but that is just wishful thinking, but Dusseldorf can be quite a handful for Darmstadt so they will have a hard time with their game unlike Schalke that I think their victory is sealed. Schalke can even be promoted and champions at Sunday afternoon. If they win against St. Pauli, they will have 62 points. If Darmstadt and Bremen lose or play a draw both teams will have 57 or 58 points. That means Schalke could not be caught up at the last matchday.
Bremen will play on Sunday against Aue. We will know more at about 3:20pm on Sunday.
It will be a very easy match for Schalke, and the team St. Pauli is having issues with available players right now, there are injuries, Corona virus, and a risk of getting a suspension, right now St. Pauli is having a handful, and problems like this are normal for a soccer team, but St. Pauli has an unusual struggle at the moment, While Darmstadt will have a difficult time with Dusseldorf in my opinion, it could be a draw or a win but it will surely be a difficult game for Darmstadt while Bremen can have a peaceful time, because their opponent is not hat much, and they can score almost 3 goals to win this if they focus more. |

Congrats on the Suns bettors.
That was great 4th quarter run, it only showed that Mavericks don't have a good defense and they are just a one-man team.
Luka was goating in the first half but got tired in the 2nd half, I smell a 4-0 here, just like what Suns did to the Nuggets last playoffs.
Anyway, I'm a bit sad because I bet on the under, I thought I will see better defense, but nah.
It is pretty obvious who's a greater team, and that is the team that has team play, but this is NBA everything can happen, so don't be sad in what is the result we can always learn from that mistakes and sometimes the result can still be the same because this is gambling, and NBA is an unpredictable sport, to bet on and we are basing our picks on the team that don't have injuries, base on their previous games, and sometimes on something else, Congrats on the Suns bettors.

Yeah, it's possible for the Suns to sweep the Mevericks as they were so dominant in the last 2 games. i'm thinking now that Maybe Pelicans are way better than the Mavericks. LOL. Anyway, Mavs has to win game 3, or I don't know where their series is going. This is just a hunch but the Suns will surely need to make a sacrifice in resting their solid players in a crucial game, but in this game, the Mavericks are very relying on Luka Doncic, the only time the Mavericks will be winning against the Phoenix Suns is if the Suns would let their main players take a rest, and do not play against the Mavericks, well just my opinion, the Mavericks can sometimes surprise me in a different way, but it is not this time, They try to provide good defense, but Paul really heating up and plays so well.
It's not easy to defend a kind of star CP3 was, he can shoot or pass the ball, his IQ is very huge, he is not the point god for nothing
right? The problem with Mavs, they don't have the balance. When Suns start to overrun, then they just throw the ball without proper
system, forcing shots and missed a lot of close range attempts.
And always relying on Luka Doncic, I have seen they are letting Luka Doncic force his basket so much, that they don't realize that it is not going to work that way, the Phoenix Suns have a fast pace kind of play because of Devin Booker, and Chris Paul, they are like the Warriors but doesn't have any spare players that could take Bookers place, |

The Warriors vs Grizzlies game earlier was certainly breathtaking to see and injured players like Gary Payton II and Draymond Green but luckily Green did return in the game afterwards, the intensity is really different when it comes to playoffs.
Anyways, we have 2 games later. Let's bet again and here's mine.
Miami Heat -8 (Butler will return while Embiid is still ruled out)
Phoenix Suns -6
Good luck guys!
I was frustrated with what happened to Gary Payton II and I think it is a flagrant foul and an intentional foul at the same time Kerr has said that Dillon Brooks broke the code he sure wants Payton out of the Picture because Gary Payton II is doing his job amazingly in guarding Ja Morant, and the results Ja Morant just got 30 plus points on the 1st game, and when Payton is out Ja Morant has gone crazy on the 2nd match, and right now GP2 has suffered ligament damage in addition to his fractured elbow, so this is a very serious injury, and I think that Dillon Brooks should be suspended, and if not suspended for 1 to 2 games out for good this season.
Here are the results for the games today, Miami Heat VS Philadelphia 76rs SCORE 119 - 103 - WINJust like what I think the Miami Heat will win this Tyrese Maxey got 34 points, while James Harden got 20 points and Tobias Harris got 21 points this team really needs Joel Embiid so badly the Miami Heats is surely making their play, Jimmy Butler got a double-double of 12 Assists and 22 Points while Bam Adebayo got 23 points, and right now the Heat is on the lead, Phoenix Suns VS Dallas Mavericks SCORE 129 - 109 - WINI don't want to say this to Dallas Mavericks but it is obvious that they are relying on Luka Doncic more, Reggie Bullock just got 16 points while Luka Doncic got insane 35 points for the Mavericks while Chris Paul got 28 points, and Devin Booker got 30 points winning the 2nd game, and leading the semis, |
