Xabi Alonso is the prime target for every elite team and he's the prize. He must exercise patience and be careful with the decision he makes next because joining either of them might fall out to be bad or good. Bayer Leverkusen enjoyed every moment spent with Xabi Alonso and also, Liverpool looking forward for the young coach to be the replacement of Jurgen Klopp who's leaving at the end of the season. Liverpool is not only the team interested in Xabi Alonso but also, there are other elite clubs that's fighting really hard to get his signature.
So far, the coaching candidate with sufficient criteria this season to replace Jurgen Klopp is of course Xabi Alonso as far as I hope. But it comes back to whether Xabi will just leave Leverkusen. As for the club itself, they are very open and always want to give the best for Xabi, whether it's moving to Liverpool or staying. I applaud the choice that Leverkusen gave even though they themselves still want to be trained by him, but Leverkusen showed their gratitude to Xabi by allowing every decision to be taken. Liverpool needs a creative coach, but keep in mind that the Bundesliga competition is clearly different from the EPL, it will definitely not be as easy as imagined.

@Belarge, For some reason, I think it is not going to be a good idea if he joins Bayern Munich. Maybe a lot of people are going to treat him like a traitor. And if he joins Liverpool, he has a chance to leave a legacy in the English Premier League. But at the same time in Liverpool he is probably not going to get everything as he wishes. Because we know that the owner of Liverpool does not like to spend too much money

@bitLeap, It is a big thing to do when you know you are probably not going to be the same club as you were if the coach actually leaves. They know that very well and still have given him the chance to actually leave the club. But at the same time, I expect Alonso to not be emotional about this and actually leave. Because he can have a great career elsewhere. And if he wins the Bundesliga with Leverkusen I believe he will not have much to prove with the club anymore.

Arsenal's increase in goal productivity this season started when Arsenal managed to beat Liverpool with a score of 3-1. And after that Arsenal continued to score lots of goals. Even in their last 5 matches in the EPL alone we can calculate that Arsenal have collected 24 goals in just 5 matches. And with this Arsenal has become the most productive team this season to date. Because in 27 matches Arsenal has collected 68 goals.

And not just that. Arsenal is also the team that has conceded the fewest goals this season. With only 23 goals conceded in 27 matches.

I think Arteta is getting closer to achieving his dream of giving Arsenal a championship trophy this season. But this will be achieved if Arsenal continues their current form. If their consistency decreases again then it will only make Liverpool and Man City compete comfortably.
I don’t know why, but despite the fact that Arsenal continues to pursue the championship leaders, I have no confidence that they will be able to become champions. In the next rounds, City will have to play with Liverpool and Arsenal, if Guardiola can beat these teams, then City will become leaders and may not give it to anyone else.

I cannot agree with you. Comparing Arsenal's squad with Liverpool and Manchester City, Arsenal might be a bit behind. Because City and Liverpool have more star players in their squads than Arsenal. But Arsenal's players are doing great this season. Have you forgotten that a few days ago Arsenal won the away match against Liverpool by 331? Despite it being Liverpool's home match, Arsenal's players performed brilliantly and won the match 3–1.


It's great that Arsenal are able to beat their opponents with such an impressive score, but a win over City, even with a minimal score, will be valued much more than any win where they scored five or six goals. There is a premonition that Liverpool will become champions (if it weren’t for the referee’s mistakes in the match with Tottenham, their lead would have been even greater), but for this they need to play the match against City well.

Liverpool and Manchester City are in very good form. But I don't think Arsenal are weak in any way. I would say these three teams have equal chances to win the title. I am looking forward to Manchester City vs Liverpool match. A draw in this match will give Arsenal a chance to take the top spot in the table. But if Manchester City can win both these matches against Liverpool and Arsenal, then Manchester City has the best chance to win the title.

Liverpool warned about hiring Xabi Alonso by ex-Reds boss Rafa Benitez as Spaniard claims 'everything is going too fast' for Bayer Leverkusen coach
Rafa Benitez has praised Xabi Alonso's tactical prowess but cautioned him against jumping into a Liverpool role too soon.

I honestly do not think Alonso is going to do bad if he goes to Liverpool.
I think it is actually going to be great. But as now he has options, he should check his options carefully to make sure that wherever he goes, he will be able to bring in good results. But I think if he goes to a good team, he will definitely do good. After all, he is doing really well with Leverkusen. And that team was not supposed to be where it is right now. But he might actually wait one more year to get a contract from Real Madrid, who knows?

It's not said to be late but it's also not said to be early because it's already close to ATH, and I think this is very strange, because usually ATH is created after the halving, but will this year change previous history?
It is true that we will have a chance to make big profits as the bull season is coming but once we invest in bitcoin, it is better to set a long-term goal for many years than just thinking about halving or cycle. So buying bitcoin now is not too late and it is still early if we think about 10 years from now.

In your opinion, will we have a new history this year? Will we reach ATH before halving and even in March? I lean towards that scenario because we have a lot of good catalysts that are having a strong impact on bitcoin. We have the ETF, the halving and there are signs of a world economic recovery, all of this is more than enough to break all barriers to help bitcoin create a super cycle and a completely new history.
345  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin Closing in on 60k, Again! on: March 04, 2024, 12:55:31 PM
Bitcoin price has gotten to that amount some of us have been expecting and even above the $60k but is like it has a way of making a big move and no one has any specific time for it to get past the current amount. At some point it seems like $50-53k would have been the amount we'd see in this month of March, since this month is still fresh I feel the market price won't move too fast to maybe $65k on this very first week but $75k I'd say is some how possible before the end of this month.

Bitcoin Hits $75K Before March Ends? Meaning you predict history will not repeat itself and we will have new history when bitcoin reaches a new ATH before the halving occurs? I saw many predictions about this after bitcoin suddenly hit $64k at the end of February, and I also agree with you that bitcoin is quite capable of reaching its ATH this month. But the 75k$ target is a pretty high target for me, I think bitcoin will probably hit 70k or 71k$ and will pullback immediately after the halving takes place. I still think that by Q4 2024 we will really see the crazy price increase in bitcoin and the 6-digit targets we predicted.

I believe that the movement of Bitcoin price is some how waiting for the right moment to make a drastic move to get to that $75k, this month is very much promising more than last month because the way last month ended is like it gave this month the barton to make that fast move. Since we have the halving at hand I feel that target of hitting $75k is possible and when it's time we can be seeing Bitcoin price $200k+ during the halving period if care is not taken.

I don't think it will happen but I hope your prediction will be correct, we will break history and create a bull cycle before the halving. But I agree with you about the ATH of this bull season, 200k USD or more is completely possible and far beyond everyone's expectations. To me this is a super cycle and not a typical bull season where we have ETFs, the Fed lowers interest rates and the economy enters a new cycle. Personally, I am very hopeful about this cycle, and it will be an opportunity for those like me who missed out on bitcoin in the past.

I would like to see that history to be broken and with the current movement of Bitcoin price I feel it can be achieved before the halving, I think this $200k is something no one is thinking will happen and it must definitely come to pass. This year's halving amount would be far higher than the previous one from how Bitcoin price rises and I think this week is giving us a new figure other than that which we have seen.

Today we are getting closer to the old ATH as bitcoin has touched the $65k, which is really exciting and makes our prediction gradually come true. I see a lot of people just hoping for bitcoin to hit $100k and I'm thinking about the scenario, what if people sell their bitcoin when it hits $100k and then bitcoin continues towards $200k? It will be interesting when everyone sells all their bitcoins and bitcoin continues to rise to everyone's surprise and suspicion.

I think it is definitely a great chance for Victor Osimhen to actually take revenge. And we know how much of a capable player he is. I hope Juventus will be able to win because they have to. And you know, Napoli is also not in the best form right now as well. But it is going to be a close match and things could go either way
Osimhen is not as good as last season. I think him staying at Napoli was the wrong decision. He should have played at a club that is really better and has a future in the title race in the UCL than at Napoli. Currently, Napoli is not performing well after being left by their coach last season. , so Napoli are not as expected anymore showing their best game just look at their statistics in the previous few matches they are not performing well so I don't think Osimhen will be able to get revenge with this meeting.

Juventus seems to be able to overcome Napoli for the second time and will not let Napoli win to get the full three points because Juventus wants a win and the full three points in tomorrow's meeting, even though playing at home Napoli will find it difficult to win even though Osimhen plays the full time Juventus will not let him scored a goal against Juventus, I think Juventus will win this meeting with a narrow score because I think Juventus will play optimally to win this time and Allegri will implement a strategy to win it.

The match between Juventus and Napoli will start very soon.

I actually agree with you that Osimhen is not as good as he was in the last season. whatever, he must try to look for Revenge in this match. maybe that is something which will make him perform better in this one. Smiley

but I am definitely not expecting something incredible or very explosive from Napoli. because they have not been in good form. I actually do not expect anything explosive from either team in this match, to be honest. But when we look at the goals that have been scored by Juventus and Napoli, we will see that both of them have scored the same amount of goals but Juventus has conceded a lot less compared to Napoli so far in this season.

On paper, Napoli looks a lot weaker to be honest, but I still think in this match Juventus will face some problems and probably will not be able to get all three points

New Zealand prepared a pitch that offered little assistance to the pacers, because they were afraid of the Aussie pace triad (Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins). But it backfired on them, as Green got to 174, and then Lyon destroyed the Kiwi batting lineup. It was a baffling tactic, given the fact that New Zealand has some of the best pace bowlers in the world (Southee, Henry, Jamison, Milne, Boult, Wagner.etc) and they are quite weak in spin bowling (it was Glenn Phillips who picked most wickets for them in this match). 

Cameron Green is probably the only player who found it easy to score, and that also in the first innings. Because nobody found it easy to score on this pitch. Philips did score for New Zealand in the first innings. Rachin Ravindra was able to do something for New Zealand in their second innings. But other than that, both of the teams have not been able to score big. Nathan Lyon was incredible by the way.

When New Zealand bowled Australia out by few runs in the second innings we had some hope that New Zealand might win the match but just as Australia got all out in the second innings as quickly as New Zealand got all out in the second innings. Australia secured a big victory by 172 runs with one day in hand in this Test series due to New Zealand's quick all-out. Australia went a long way towards winning the series with a 172-run win in the first match of the two-match Test series. If Australia wins the second and final Test match, New Zealand will be whitewashed in Test series and T20I series against Australia but if New Zealand can win then they will be able to go back to level in Test series. Since the New Zealand series was whitewashed in the T20 series, New Zealand should come back in the second Test match and not be embarrassed by the whitewash.

I also actually had some hope when I saw Australia getting bold out for so cheap in their second innings.
But New Zealand was also able to do anything, to be honest. Except from the first match of the T20 series, New Zealand has been losing pretty badly against Australia in this whole series.

Let's see if New Zealand can win the second test match against Australia. And New Zealand better rethink the strategy they are going to apply for the second test. Because if they prepare another track like this, it might not be the best idea.

In 2021 when the price of Bitcoin went to 69K USDT, many people thought that this shock might stop at 100K USDT, but instead of that, Bitcoin went down from there. The price of Bitcoin did not see such movement in the last two years, but in 2024, Bitcoin is already this year.  Has gone to best high 59K Usdt then can we see a break from the previous price, Bitcoin has a halving very soon is it likely to be before or after the halving?

It all depends on the demand raised by the people. Now a week ago, we were at 42k usd. Now suddenly in a week the price is 20,000 USD more. All this happened because more people started buying the coins, and this led to the rise in demand to accumulate the coins. Now as bitcoins are limited in numbers, hence the price went up to meet the demand. Many expert analysts have made analysis that Bitcoins will touch 100k usd before this year ends. So let’s hope for the best and see where Bitcoins go.

Yes, the demand for bitcoin is growing very strongly and clearly. This is thanks to the contribution of the approval of bitcoin ETFs that have taken bitcoin to new heights. Historically, bitcoin has never risen close to the old ATH before the halving, but this time it happened so we can think of a scenario where there will be a new ATH this year. If that happens, we cannot deny that the impact of the ETF is too great because it stimulates increased bitcoin demand combined with tightened supply after halving.

I like the $100k scenario for this year and the final ATH will be $250k before we enter another bearish cycle.

IPL 2024 promo released: https://twitter.com/i/status/1764145522741293381

I call it lackluster, I don't feel iota of hype watching it, doesn't represent all teams or prominent players either. The players represented are Pant, Iyer, Rahul and Pandya, players who are currently injured, looks like they went to NCA to shoot the promo.
Lmao. Silly ad. It's really good to see Pant back in action which is truly a miracle considering the accident he faced. Rahul's acting was robotic as usual while Iyer looked weird when he lost it.

Pandya looked hilarious thanks to his suit and hairstyle. The T20 World Cup advertisement was a lot better in comparison.

Between the IPL 2024 ad and the T20 World Cup advertisement, there is no comparison. The T20 World Cup advertisement is far better. And I feel like they have not realized that acting is not the strong point of players. So you should look to make an advertisement like the T20 World Cup advertisement. If you actually want to make a decent advertisement, get actual actors. Otherwise, the players are always going to act like they did for the IPL. Not going to lie those players really looked stupid.

The sixth match i.e. the final match of the tri-series between Netherlands Nepal and Namibia took place today where Namibia and Netherlands faced each other. In the sixth match between Netherlands vs Namibia Netherlands won the toss and elected to field first. After losing the toss Namibia managed to score 98 runs for four wickets in 15 overs when they batted first. After the Namibian cricket team played up to 15 overs, the match was temporarily stopped due to rain and later that match could not be played again, as a result of which there was no result in this match. Nepal cricket team reached the final after defeating the Namibian team today if the Namibian team could have won today they would have faced the Netherlands in the final.

Netherlands are going to play the final against Nepal, really bad luck for Namibia. For leave they could actually play the whole match, maybe they could have had a chance to play in the finals, but it is what it is.

In the finals, I believe it is going to be very close. But I will say that Nepal has a good chance to win in my opinion. Nepal has been more consistent in the last two matches that they have played. So I think that is going to be give them confidence going into the final. But at the end of the day, a final is a final, and it is going to be a 50/50, do wager this match at your own risk,  Smiley

Mumbai Indian Women's team performed so well this game that Ram could have collected more if needed. But the opposite team Royal Challengers Bangalore women's team did not run well, they mainly collected 131 runs for 6 wickets. But the Mumbai Indians team players easily met the target of 131 runs, with only 3 wickets in exchange. Mumbai Indians women's team is occupying the first place in the points table.

Total 9 matches of this Women Premier League competition was already finished including today match and this competition is becoming more interesting and thrilling. Today match, Mumbai India Women squad is stronger sqaud from all other sqaud in this competition and they got a victory in three match total of four matches and in this match against Royal Challengers Bangalore Women squad, this victory was so simple for Mumbai India women squad because defeateing target was low quality total 131 scores. Just playing 15.1 overs Mumbai India women squad achieved all target and emerged victory. This batter Amelia Kerr displayed very good inning performance in this match and she collected 40 scores with not out and I remember that this batter also played many matches in some previous competition and in these competitions she also played with significant performance same like today match.

It was absolutely a trash performance from RCB women against Mumbai Indians women, to be honest.
I have to say RCB had a pretty bad start, neither they were able to keep wickets in hand nor they were able to score quickly.
Ellyse Perry performed well for RCB. I think they really should think about giving her a promotion up the order. She was not out till the end but even though RCB got at least a respectable total with her, it was definitely not going to be enough. As proved Mumbai Indian women were able to chase this pretty easily. Mumbai Indians had an explosive start and even though they lost wickets, they were able to keep the scoreboard going. Winning with almost 5 overs Left is a big win, to be honest.

This gets Mumbai Indian women in the first position, & in the next match they will play against the Capitals.

Yes, the victory that Milan achieved this last time brought them closer to second place, the difference is getting smaller, but Juventus still has 1 match remaining that has not been played, so Milan should not be happy before waiting for Juventus to lose in this match because if Juventus wins, the difference will be 4. points, although it cannot be denied that Milan can still catch these points if they continue to perform consistently in the next matches. Milan has made good use of the opportunity and used Juventus' decline as a way to take over second place because for a long time Milan was quite far behind when Juventus and Inter Milan were competing at the top of the standings. Now Juventus is no longer competing with Inter Milan because they are already quite far behind, namely 12 points.

The league will become more interesting because the competition is no longer in first place but in second place between Milan and Juventus because it looks like Inter Milan is quite comfortable at the top of the standings because they have locked in their victory but still have to focus on winning and not experience setbacks due to losing points in several the match will again provide fierce competition. Juventus will face Napoli tomorrow so we'll just have to wait and see whether Juventus can beat Napoli because this is an away match and it's quite tough considering Napoli's recent performance when they beat Sassuolo with a fairly big score.

I was sure of AC Milan drawing that game but not so sure it would come to them winning at that hour of the game, only to get the updates of Okafor coming to the rescue of his side.
Lazio off course held Ac Milan and troubled them visitors with how they've played from.the first half but it was those three Red cards in the game that stopped then from eventually sharing points.

It'll be pay back time for Napoli today after they won six goals to one from the last game, I believe they'd vent in all lf them anger from the first fixture lose to Juventus.
I can also remember Juventus fans mocking Victor Oshime, maybe it'll be payback tike for Victor Oshime today? Major player's to watch are informed Victor Oshime and Dusan Vlahovic for Juventus.

It was like Lazio was playing WWE or something towards the end of the match, lol Cheesy

It looked like they were getting frustrated and in the end, they did a lot of things out of frustration. Red cards, especially all of them were definitely unnecessary. But that is good news for Milan. If Juventus cannot win the next match, the difference of points between Milan and Juventus is going to be only one.

I think it is definitely a great chance for Victor Osimhen to actually take revenge. And we know how much of a capable player he is. I hope Juventus will be able to win because they have to. And you know, Napoli is also not in the best form right now as well. But it is going to be a close match and things could go either way

Sevilla hosted Sociedad in the first match of the day. In the 13th minute Sevilla managed to take an early lead with En Nesyri's goal, but at the end of the first half Sevilla scored from a penalty to close the first half 2-1 ahead.The second half started with Sevilla's attacks and as a result of this, they increased the difference to 2 again with Ramos.The score of the match was determined with the goal in the 90th minute.2 I think the deserving team won in a match in which both teams played well.It was an important match for Sevilla, but it was also an important match for Sociedad.Both teams needed these 3 points very much, but Sevilla won with home advantage.
Sevilla needed but 3 points. The further away they are from the drop zone, the better. They reached 27 points and moved slightly away from the danger zone. Also, these 3 points against Real Betis are more meaningful because Betis is a very good team. Ramos' goal was also very meaningful for Sevilla.
Real Sociedad is not Real Betis, but it is also an equally strong team. lol
Sevilla's victory over Real Sociedad was not that surprising because Sevilla deserved this victory in front of their own supporters, regardless of the downturn that Sevilla is currently experiencing, but indeed they have quite capable strength if you look at the squad and their distance from the relegation zone is quite appropriate thing.
Sevilla are behind by many points now and their performance has not been consistent so there is no good possibility for Sevilla other than finishing in mid-table.

Sevilla's main weakness is the poor performance of their defenders. The team conceded 40 goals in 27 matches. Sevilla's performance would have been more consistent if their defenders had played better. I have no complaints about the performance of Sevilla's attacking players. If the match strategy is good, Sevilla's attacking players are still capable of playing well.

I was not surprised at all by Sevilla's win against Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad's performance is not good this season. They have won only 10 matches out of 27 matches. We have seen further deterioration in their performance in the last few matches. The team has won one of the last 5 matches. They also lost against PSG in the Champions League match. Sociedad could not even win against Mallorca in the Copa del Rey match.

This week, what is of little concern is the match between Valencia and Real Madrid. Valencia, which managed to hold Real Madrid to a draw in this match, is worthy of appreciation and there was a slight incident at the end of the match so that Jude Bellingham received a red card, these are two losses for the Real Madrid team, the players were red. adnalan them and only got 1 point this week.

We have to admit that the performance of Madrid players against Valencia was not good. Despite having 71% ball possession, Madrid players were not able to attack much. This was their main weakness. Perhaps Real Madrid is now more focused on Champions League matches. Because the performance of Madrid's past matches in La Liga is not good. Madrid have drawn in 3 of the last 5 matches. Real Madrid is still 7 points ahead of Girona despite the erratic performance.

People say that they don't know what is the btc and there is no clear story for them to trust btc.
But the same people don't know what is the money and how it's created and they are collateral or some type of security body by themselfes.
Little do they know how the banks even creating money.
So money the fiat currencies are unknown same like btc for many people.
Also all people live their lifes and nobody don't ask questions what's the purpose of life.
It's funny how they acting like they know everything but yet they don't nothing and then they say they know about money but don't know about btc.
Off course If some well known person will tell them let's use btc it's good and safe becouse i say so and Im trusted then people Will follow.
The same people who say things about cryptocurrency that it's unknown for them they act like they really know all about the other things what they trust,If you ask from average person can they explain the process of creating money debt and Fiat currency...they don't know.
This is an old story and those people are just the sceptics.  They know Bitcoin and its potential but just decided to be unfortunate about it. You can't say they are ignorant because many of them are educated and even among the supposed enlightened. Good enough, Bitcoin have a way of proving them wrong as we have seen. Bitcoin is still there and not dead and many people including institutions and government are now heavily involved in Bitcoin which is a good news for Bitcoin. Some of the critics have been able to drop their ego and invest in Bitcoin while there are still those in their high horses who will never see the light. Bitcoin will always win irrespective of what they say or think.

After all, we can't expect or ask everyone to love bitcoin. Simply because everything has its pros and cons and everyone has different preferences. We shouldn't be selfish or bigoted by calling someone stupid just because they don't like bitcoin like we do.

I also have some friends who know about bitcoin but they have never and have no intention of investing in bitcoin. They said it was not suitable for them because its volatility and risk level were beyond their tolerance. Moreover, they have a better life than me, have stable jobs and income, how can we say they are ignorant when they have things that we don't have?

But if we talk about the future, I am pretty skeptical about that. Because we have seen teams like these be very inconsistent. Condition great performance on one day and somehow they perform really bad on the next day. But they are definitely showing good signs
Yes it is true that such teams sometimes perform well and sometimes perform poorly. If they can play consistently well in future then their cricket will definitely improve but for that they need to play well in every match.
Kuwait cricket team is number one in the points table of ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League they have won the three matches they have won by big margin. Kuwait cricket team won this tournament by a big margin against three teams, Bermuda, Italy, Vanuatu. Let's see how far they can go in the end.

At the end of the day, every team has to be consistent. and it is no different for Kuwait. But the problem is when are facing against really good opponents,  you are probably not going to be consistent.

You know, they are currently playing well because they are facing weaker opponents. Even you have said that,

  because you also know that it is only a matter of time before they start losing and that is going to happen whenever they face bigger opponents.


In the 18th match of the Tanzania vs Italy team, the Italy team came to bat and scored 325 runs in 50 overs losing 8 wickets. To win beyond the run target given by the Italy team, the Tanzania team has to do well in batting. Italy team batsman Wayne Madsen scored 110 runs from 71 balls.  Wayne Madsen has done an amazing batting performance today.
In ICC Cricket World Cup Challenge League Play-off series, Italy team won this game by big margin of runs 162 and Italy team first won toss and they got a opportunity to choose bat or bowl first and Italy team elected bat first in this game. This game was held on Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur stadium and this stadium was in favour of Italy team. W.Madsen awarded with player of game title due to his commendable struggle in this game and he scored 110 runs in 71 balls with thirteen 4s and two 6s. M.Campopiano also scored 61 runs in 62 balls with five 4s and three 6s. Mostly batsman from Italy side showed brilliant effort in batting and in bowling side, R.Hasan took down 3 wickets and N.Miolo also dismissed 3 wickets in 10 overs. Total 325 runs were made by Italy team and Tanzania team lost this game by 162 runs Congratulations Italy team.

Yes, definitely a big congratulations to the Italy team. I am going to be honest here, actually I have never seen them play cricket before this. And I also did not expect them to perform so well. I have to say they have definitely surprised me with their performance. Madsen was Incredible in this game and he is someone a lot of people surly have not even heard the name of.

I also believe that the toss made a great impact on the play style of Italy. If they were unable to Bat first take they could have got such a big total.  The pitch looked really good and they were able to take full advantage of that.

In the next match, they are going to play against Vanuatu. I believe they should do well in that match as well. Let's see if they can continue performing consistently or not.

Visibly absent though is Andrew Wiggins and it was confirmed that he is not with the team and will be on leave again because of personal issues. We know that he had this kind of sabbatical and when he comes back it was a different Wiggins and his spot was taken by Kuminga already.

Wiggins had these kinds of problems before as well. The biggest problem is I believe the lack of transparency between him and the fans. But at the same time, Wiggins does not have to disclose any personal matters as well.
Warriors are doing well right now. At least they did well without him in the last game.


Quote
On the bright side, Moses Moody was given a lot of time and he proved himself with a great defense against Jalen Brunson.
Moses Moody did well, I have noticed he was given the most amount of minutes in the last game and he proved himself.
Yes, I know, he didn't have a performance like Stephen Curry but did anyone really expect that kind of performance from him as well?
He went to court as a replacement for a replacement, he has done well enough.

San Antonio's Wemby, he held his own against Chet and even block his shot on a very entertaining game as they beat another powerhouse in the West in OKC. They needed the rest and will face the Pacers next. And with this kind of performance, it's either we think that Wemby is just overrated or OKC's didn't defend him well. Specially that 3 he did that really cap their rally and win this game. Vassell as well contribute on that run, end up him and Wemby both 28 points.
Victor Wembanyama definitely held his own against Oklahoma. Of course, his team also performed really well, and that's why they were able to win easily in the end. But for a kid that is only 20 years old, I believe he did really well and also got 28 points by himself


Quote
They will be facing the Raptors next on the road and the Warriors are the favorite to win in this game.
Maybe, nothing can be said in advance, but i also hope about their winning.

Comilla Victorians gave a target of 155 runs to Fortune Barishal in the final of BPL. Excellent final over from Saifuddin helped FB to restrict CV under 160. Russell looked dangerous, but the last over was too good from Saifuddin. He conceded 7 runs in that over. Overall, a commending bowling performance from the FB bowlers. Victorians should have sent Russell up the order before Jaker Ali for those extra 20 or 30 runs they are desperately lacking.
snip

You can't say the target was just big enough from Comilla. You know, in the final of the BPL they should definitely have given a bigger target.
Another thing is, you know they don't have very strong bowling lineup, so you cannot defend a target of 155 when you do not have a very good bowling lineup. and that's exactly what happened. Tamim must be very happy Smiley.


Barisal's bowlers have done very well in the last two matches. Barisal's batting order is strong, but their bowlers' performances have been erratic. But in the last two matches against Rangpur and Comilla, Barisal's bowlers performed well. Rangpur had given a target of 150 runs only, and today the Comilla team had given a target of 155 runs.

Barisal's top three batsmen have batted very well. Tamim scored 39 runs, Miraz scored 29 runs and Mayers scored 46 runs. Barisal team reached the target of victory by losing 4 wickets. Kyle Mayers batted brilliantly today, bowled very well as well. He gave only 26 runs in 4 overs. Taijul also conceded 20 runs in his 4 overs.

To be honest I expected better performance from Liton Das and Tawhid Hridoy. Both of them have kind of failed in the final in my opinion.

If the top order of that team good done a little better I think they could have given a bigger target.
But there was no good partnership among the top order.
And it was a little too much to do for the lower order.

So in the end they were unable to give a big target. That's why I believe they have lost this match.
Another thing is imagine if Barishal did not give the 15 extras, the target could have been 140

Ya, that game screwed my parlay. Wemby just keeps getting better. It’s surprising and impressive. He’s getting to the level he can carry his team to some wins.

The Lakers game is down to the wire tonight. Quite a difference from their heroics last game. If they don’t get it together they might lose to the Wizards in a few minutes.

Edit: Lakers got the win in overtime. The story of the night for me though was Jordan Poole coming off the bench to have his best game of the year.
Lakers almost lost this one against the Wizards, good thing is that Reaves make a difficult bank shot to force OT. Kuzma give them a lead with his 3. But then Lebron James, has his own 3 and a dish out to AD. And then the chase down block on Poole, though and that might have clinch the win for them. Rui didn't score in double digits, but he had one rebound that really also put the game for good for them. AD had a monster 40 points and James had 30 points. Lebron is chasing 40,000 points, obviously the first player that will have that stat line and making it harder for any current players to even touch that record.

"Oh my mama, Wembanyama"  Grin, great performance by the rookie, but he needs more of this.

LeBron James and Anthony Davis had a really great performance in this game. Anthony Davis dropped a 40 bomb and LeBron James scored 31 points. I agree with you, at various points of the game, I thought the Lakers were going to lose this game. But in the end, they were able to win the game in overtime. If you look at Wizards, Marvin and Jordan Poole played very well for the Wizards.
I can see Lakers will play the Nuggets in the next game. I think that game is also going to be very close.

Warriors are hot, they just beat the Knicks at MSG, Steph the high man with 31 points including 8 shots from the three point arc. It seems that it's a different Warrior now at the second half of the season. They are now complete with CP3 back in the game, although it was Wiggins who are out in this game.

Still in the 10th position in the Western Conference, but anything goes here. Lakers are also trying to break in the top 8 of the standings.

So it will be good competition down the stretch for the playoff and play-in in this conference.

I agree they are playing well but as a knicks fan they beat their bench.  3 starters are out and JB is banged up and was questionable with his back leading up to the game.  A healthy kmicks team with julius, OG and big Mitch in the middle is a wildly different game.  With that being said they shot like garbage.  Hart and divencinzo bricked all night.  Hate watching them like this Sad

Golden State Warriors were able to take a huge advantage in the first quarter. and they never let go of that advantage. both Stephen Curry and Kuminga were really great for the Golden State Warriors. I actually thought that the match was going to be a lot closer. But after the Golden State Warriors were able to take the lead in the first quarter, It was kind of a walk in the park for them.

But yes they are still in the 10th position in the Western Conference. they will need to get some consistent good results from here on. and that is very much possible as long as the important players do not get injured.

BREAKING:

Pogba has been banned from football for four years because of doping. It's really unfortunate how he ruined his career at the theater of nightmares.

He's facing a tough time ahead, but there's still a chance for him to come back stronger and better. Otherwise, this might be the end of Paul Pogba's football career. After four years, he won't be involved in football anymore. It's sad to think we might lose one of the most talented midfielders.

This is no doubt, a major blow to his career. This would have a telling effect on his future in football: that is if there’s going to be any when his match ban is lifted.
I saw this news while going through Twitter earlier and I thought this would be really damaging. Saw an old video of when he was at Man United and got random roping tests just after getting off the field from a game. I had thought that perhaps, he was suspected then.

After four years, I don’t know if he would make a comeback or if he even could. Could this be appealed in the hopes of getting a lesser punishment?
In my opinion, Pogba took the wrong step because in the midst of his waning career he actually added to the problem by carrying out prohibited activities so this will only make him no longer called a famous player. So for 4 years I thought everything was over and saw the sanctions as a step towards retiring sooner. His productivity has also decreased and there is nothing more we can expect from him. Pogba is one of those players who cannot control his own world. Instead of trying to play it safe, at his no longer young age, he ended his career in the wrong way.

Yeah, You know Pogba is 30 years old and soon will be 31. In 15 days he is going to be 31 if I am not wrong. So after 4 years, he is going to be 35. By that time it is going to be over for him. I wonder if it is already over for him or not. I know that he is getting banned for 4 years but is there a way for him to reduce the ban? Maybe by playing guilty or something? Even if he can reduce the ban to 2 years it is going to be great news for him because after 2 years he will still be able to compete and play pretty well.  but if he does decide to come back when he is 35,  it is not going to be a good thing for him to do so. The top-level clubs are not going to be interested in him after 4 years. Seriously, he should hire a good lawyer and try to reduce the ban.
