Just his presence in the court is very important for the Warriors team already because he can be a scorer, rebounder, passer and a great defender. Even him complaining against the refs or fighting against other players has an impact on the team. If I'm not mistaken, he is the one the recruited KD as well isn't it? Green will never be included in the Big 3 for nothing. Some might not see his value because when you say anything about the Warriors, it will always be Curry or Thompson but when you are a Warrior fan or a long time NBA fan you will know how Green is contributing to the team. He is also one of the reasons why the Warriors went to NBA Finals consecutive times.
Yeah, he will always be part of the big 3, Curry and Thompson might be their scoring machine, but Green was all around, rebound, bring the ball down, set up screens for Curry and Thompson, and then score. But most importantly, he is the heart and soul of the Warriors during their championship run. His leadership molded them to be one of the best team in the last 10 years. |

yes the famous "Uncle Tony" who coached Nadal. Alcaraz is being talked about
as being the next Nadal. He is definitely showing why ATM.
Big win by Felix AA against a pumped up Tiafoe who will be savagely dissapointed
after a big win against Rublev.
Zverev has a big game today against Sinner, he is big favourite 1.16 to 5.20.
Thats a bit of an injustice to Sinner tough, does anybody give Sinner a chance?
Yes, of course, Sinner will have a slight chance against Zverev. But Zverev's form is outstanding so far. I have Djokovic vs Brooskby over 28.5. I think the kid can take one set from Djokovic and make it close. Yeah, Alcaraz has some serious firepower, still very young and for sure some with corrections and coaching from Nadal's uncle, this kid can be a serious contender for those new gen of tennis players. |

Many still find it difficult to accepting this digital era because of their past experience with internet fraudsters and looters who made many bankrupt when ponzi was introduced. How do you think this stigma can be dealt with and how do we get people out of this so the don't get left out due to their FUD letting them settle on their negative notion about crypto generally would only make them aggressive with crypto investors and would still see the world the way men in the 80s saw it with lots of limitations
It's takes time, sooner or later people will realized what bitcoin is and what it can give to them in terms of financial stability. And those who find it difficult will eventually give up and slowly accept it, otherwise they will be left in the closet as we are marching towards digital era or even cashless society. Don't worry about FUD, as you can knowledge and experience, you will just laugh on those negative news about bitcoin, because deep inside you know that it is not true. So why be affected by this rumor monger? |

Haven't seen the match between Berettini and Moutet, good second set for Moutet, but that's it, Berrettini won the next two games.
I think Karatsev vs Thompson is also a good match, stretches to 5 set, Thompson winning the first 2 sets, but then lost 3 straight, including the last one, 6-1.
Game to watch tomorrow, Bautista-Agut vs FAA.
Berettini vs Ivashka.
Its an interesting game between berretini and ivashka both are doing good berretini reaching 3 finals an one title and not to mention reaching wimbeldon final and ivashka winning winston salem atp and not losing a set in the last six games i personaly think this will be a tight game with more than three sets and even ivashka can win this one. Bautista-Agut vs FAA was also another 5 set match. FAA was in control of the match in the first two sets and then Bautista-Agut claim the last 2. And I thought that Baustista-Agut can win the match in the 5th. But FAA took control early and didn't give up and won the game. Rublev vs Tiafoe - tied 1-1, going into the 3rd set. I have Rublev -5.5 but not sure if he can won with this handicap. I should have gone maybe over, but let's see. |

It could be true though, Michael Jordan during the height of his career are gambling and his father's death could be related to gambling as well. Even when they are playing golf with co-players and other wealthy individuals, they put bet on the line, just for the sake of "playing" aka "gambling". And of course, athletes have money to burn, so one way is going out with their friends and families on trip to the Strip and gamble.

It was really expected that Solana will able to reach 3 digits.
Quality project and the best team behind on this project, as Ethereum still don't solve their current problem which is high transaction fees, these kinds of alternatives chain will still grow and more useful.
There are still a few projects under Solana, a few months ago when Solana was still around $20-$40, pioneer projects especially DeFi was still growing and if you look at now, millions and billions for theirs TVL.
Hard to tell from the beginning, but since we are in a bull run, every coin that is solid will eventually reaches all time high, like BNB, ADA and others, and know SOL. Perhaps that's what investors and projects are looking for, despite ETH upgrade, the problem still persists and I doubt that it will be fix in the future as obviously the price is getting high. Similar to bitcoin network, gets decongested every time it goes up. For buying SOL, hard to say at this point, maybe it can still go up, but I'm not expecting another huge return of 100x in this bull run. |

If I predict the boxing between Canelo vs Caleb, it will be postponed to next year or cancelled, the management of both camps has nothing in common in the negotiation agreement last august, This statement was broadcast live on private TV which stated that Canelo did not agree with their scheduled match schedule for September 18 this year, Canelo asked for a guarantee against him of £ 28 million, No one has agreed on a budget of that size, if Canelo's request is not fulfilled, my prediction is that the boxing between Canelo vs Caleb will change course, two possibilities are canceled or continued, there is still no meeting point between the two of them when they do determine the match schedule.
This could be more possible since this is not final yet though we still have time until November but hopefully they'll push this one since its already created a hype and for me, it will happen this year. Canelo is on a good advantage here over Caleb, but still if Caleb will work hard enough he can still have a chance since this is boxing and those who came prepared will always win, I can't wait to place my bet between these two I'm still analyzing both boxer. There's nothing we can say about who has more advantage because it's clearly Canelo is the one who has the edge and based on the betting odds, it obviously tells us the real status of the fight outcome. Working hard is not a special thing as both fighters know they are in a battle, so it's a must to work hard to last in the right and to be physically fit in the fight night. Yeah, all advantage point to Canelo, so it's not hard to analyze this fight and it's easy to bet on Canelo ML, but the odds are not that very attractive. That's why the best choice is to look at which round will Canelo win, or maybe a UD win with big money bets on him. Caleb Plant can prepare, but it's hard to beat a fighter with Canelo's caliber right now. He is also improving every fight. |

At this point, I doubt. Just look at how he quickly decides to retire because of his irregular heart beating concern last season instead of going just to recovery period but still part of the team. That creates panic and mental stress to him so right away, he retires officially without hesitation. If he will play again, the same scenario might happen again even he is healthy because he already knows the feeling of being under stress.
But who knows though that he's now finally overcome it after several months. But as far as the current rumors about him are concerned, there is no hint coming from him itself that he is really interested to play again. All is that, he was just being cleared as healthy to come back playing at the league.
I don't know his mental state, but if he had decided to stay with the team at that time, he would have been very helpful in the playoff, especially against the Bucks. Anyway, I think his decision to retire was hasty. Maybe he will comment on these rumors about his returning in the coming days. Probably it was the advise of the doctors to stop playing for good, that's why the sudden retirement from the Nets. I do agree that he will be a big help if by chance he continues to play. Blake played the center position which he is undersized. As for Paul Millsap, a veteran minimum salary, still win-win for Nets and Paul. We might see some flash of his old self and could have games that he can score 20++ points. |

^^, Yes cmc shows the price at $50,045,00. But I'm still not confident though that we still have the push to go to $51k-$52k, although the volume is good, but for sure trading bots are going for a sell-off when this barrier is reached.
The good thing is that we still have a full month to get over the $50k. So let's test it again throughout this month, if there is just one positive news then $60k is possible at the end of the month.
In august it has hit a good value, bitcoin continues to move but it will start slowly but after returning to $47k and we see a small pump will start so I assume that in this month it will be $10k value until the end of the month and be the target $60k, we continue to test how bitcoin will become resistance and correction with various others, but I see an opportunity so confident ATH will be reached soon. I don't care this bot trading doesn't affect that much but the target has been reached for sure the value will increase again so they have bought with confidence it will be $60k later. Trading bots can only affect if the users have set their selling value @$50k, but once it was hit then the price could go down and that's what we've seen in the last 24 hours. Not only those who uses bot, but maybe some speculators as well. But when we are in a bullish sentiments, it doesn't matter and it won't affect the price that much as you have said. Now, I've seen the price is attempting to breach $50k again. Maybe in the next 4 hours it will, so let's see how it goes and how the traders will react again. |

Good to hear that they are taking legal steps against this Doge 2.0.
I really think that the people behind this project are just taking advantage, hence 2.0 and other similar theme coins. But this is the crypto world we live in, I'm not saying that those are straight up scammers, but those copy cats are obvious on jumping the hype of the original and they can even promote it as better than Doge. So everyone just be careful out there and hopefully you will not fall for this kind of trick, as this will be used as pump and dump.

I like the title though, it's a click bait.
Anyhow, previous historically data shows that the last quarter is big for crypto.
Just like like year when we have super fast rally and some of them gain huge even establishing a new all time high. But, there's a big if, we can't really tell if we can repeat that past performance though. Sure we wanted to see the last quarter pumping billons on the market, but still depends on the sentiments of investors.

Phones are not allowed, but if he has a bath room break that took so long, so we can't see what he is doing there? Maybe he was given signals or instructions or not.
But it's a big momentum breaker, specially if his opponent is on the rally, as in his match against Murray. And he did it again vs Adrian Mannarino and the crowd are not pleased by it.
Tsitsipas is using all the tricks in the manual to win a match but he is not gaining any popularity with this (on the contrary). They should make some official rules that a bath room break can only take 3-5 minutes or something like that to avoid situations like this. And I think with his latest antics, bathroom break as oppose to injury break should be look upon. For sure, he has getting the attention of the organization and yeah they would revise the rule regarding the bathroom break as Tsitsipas might be taking advantage of it. Lots of players are now complaining, and it doesn't look good for Tsitsipas, as Andy said, he lost respect for him. |

Josh Warrington is a great boxer and his defeat in the first fight will be a lesson and learn from his shortcomings, and in the next fight Josh must be wary of Mauricio Lara's left-handed speed punches that knocked Josh down twice in round 4 and 9 KOs.
That left hook of Lara has some serious power behind it, throws it with intention to really knock out anyone. And it happen that Josh was receiving a lot of heavy blows, not just the left, but the straight right and upper cut and body shots. The second fight will be a very interesting fight, whether Josh will make up for his defeat and be able to take down Lara like he knocked down Josh twice, and I won't miss this fight because usually a second fight with the same boxer will be interesting to see.
That is the interesting part whether Warrington can adjust to the style of Lara that is a banger. If he wins then maybe we can see a trilogy as well. |

But in this era, shooters are the norm and no more of a Magic Johnson or John Stockton assists style.
So he really need to learn to shot otherwise, no teams are going to get him. Not to force him, but to let him know that importance of free throws and making it as it spells the difference between winning and losing. Giannis is a bad shooter in free throws, but you can see that he is trying his best even at three points. Unlike Ben who haven't even try to shoot for three because he is afraid that he will missed it.
This is why Shaq cried when Giannis took the championship. The game changed a lot but what brought the Bucks to the championship is a star who specialized in inside offense. Yes, I agree it's the norm now but that doesn't mean a high percentage shooting team will always be on top. Defense is also one of the key in winning games and Ben have that. He is tall, he is fast and can steal the ball and I bet coaches who focus with defense will try their luck with this guy. That's the problem with NBA now, they exaggerated highlighting the offensive players leaving the defensive ones no room to be superstars. Yeah, I agree with you in certain points, of course defense win, we have seen that formula in the 90's with Detroit team. So defense will always be there no matter what. But shooting free throw is one part of the equation, imagine you playing good defense but you can score in the line, ouch. I guess that's the problem with NBA right now, players like Steph and Dame are being highlighted because of their offense. But to be a superstar, you really need to separate yourself from the rest, you need to be a complete player. Look at Harden, winning MVP because of his offense, but poor defense. Imagine Ben with good defense already can shoot 3's and free throws. |

The expected pump after the halving should be by the end of this year. I think if we're still going to correlate that, there's more to happen by the end of this year.
But it could be that the halving effect started also end of last year but that's quite early and then the correction that we've seen early this year, that could also be the bear that's expected to come every after ATH. Although, it just too quick.
Nah, I don't think that the end of halving has started last year. Even if we compare it to the bull run in 2017 and it's subsequent bear market, it's not that same. There are players, institutional money and whales are still in the market. We are not sure about the last ATH, it seems that it could be broken again this year, or at least 6 digits is still to come for us. And maybe after that, we might see the end, but who knows, the market psychology is also evolving. |

This fight was already postponed once, due to irresponsible behavior by Teofimo Lopez. Just days before the scheduled fight, he contracted COVID 19, as he was travelling to another city despite the protocol not allowing that. Kambosos had reacted angrily at that time, and made posts in social media criticizing Lopez. So when these two meet at the ring, the atmosphere is likely to be charged up. BTW, the latest news is that both the fighters have agreed to get fully vaccinated before the match, in order to avoid any further delays.
Definitely the atmosphere is going to be intense since both parties are flamed up to fight each other not to mention as Kambosos got mad over Lopez which is definitely not going to be taken lightly. This is the kind of fight that I'm waiting for, they're evenly matched so it's an exciting fight in my opinion. Even before going up in the ring, this two are not holding anything as they continue to trash talk and bad mouth each other. Love it though, Kambosos is not backing down (typical of Australian I must say), so imagine if they two go at it in the first round of this fight. Or even at the weigh in and the press tour, for sure there is no love lost between this two aggressive fighters. This is a must watch and see if Lopez doesn't have ring rust or not affected by Covid-19. |

Definitely nonsense. Portland is not letting Dame go until Dame tells them he wants to go. That hasn’t happened yet. The Simmons situation is sad. He turned on his city and is now going to be hated by them. This is getting to be too common, but it is what it is. With him saying he’s not reporting to training camp, he’ll be on another team soon.
It's just the same when James Harden wanted to be traded to another team when he hasn't shown up and go to the club instead. I think Ben Simmons will be a good addition to the team that has fewer defensive players and he can actually practice his shooting there. Honestly, everyone in the NBA has some room to improve their skills that's why they have the Most Improved Player award to motivate those who have not yet reach their maximum capability. I don't really agree with the forcing of a shooting capability for Ben Simmons. If he can't do it then don't, it may become just a waste of time for trainers and for him. Just like what Shaq said for Giannis. He is strong in the inside and he has the body to become the most dominant player beneath the rim which he already is. Ben Simmons could just do the same of whatever role he prefer. If he likes to be the Magic Johnson type then do so. Sharpen his assist skill and decision making while handling the ball. Jason Kidd before also had bad shooting skill and even his form doesn't look good. He didn't dominate the points sector but he is a hall of fame. But in this era, shooters are the norm and no more of a Magic Johnson or John Stockton assists style. So he really need to learn to shot otherwise, no teams are going to get him. Not to force him, but to let him know that importance of free throws and making it as it spells the difference between winning and losing. Giannis is a bad shooter in free throws, but you can see that he is trying his best even at three points. Unlike Ben who haven't even try to shoot for three because he is afraid that he will missed it. |

Khachanov 1.46 v 2.75 Harris
That should be a close match and I think Harris has a right chance to beat Khachanov.
And Harris beat Kachanov, good call. I forgot that I have a bet on Schartzman vs Berankis @1.94 to cover -6.5 handicap and it's a win. Lots of good and close match again that can go either way, just a matter on how you analyze the game. Even the Tsitsipas vs Murray was unpredictable as well. Djokovic -10.5 @2.00 vs Rune, that seems to be very attractive. Djokovic dominated the first set with 6-1 but just lost the second set 6-7 not a big hit on -10.5 but Djokovic to even lose a set against Rune is just simple stunning.Still no emotions from Djokovic he belives that he will win this match for sure,he also just made a break in the third set. Yes, losing a set against Rune, it's very uncanny for Djokovic, but enough to cover that good spread at -10.5. Maybe just one slip of. the concentration, nevertheless, he bounce back and demolished Rune in the next 2 yes. That's what separates Djokovic from the rest, he always believes that he can win even though he lose that one precious set. |
