^^ I think he also adjusted, he try to go back to his bread and butter, that is to go to the inside. But there are times that there are no bounce on his feet, so the young guys can follow and block his shot. And he often uses his left which is not his strong suit. I guess it boils down to that chemistry issue, and for me as much as we want him to stay as a Lakers, WB should go somewhere else.
It's just sad to see that there's so much hype on Westbrook when he joined the Lakers but his production is not what we are expecting. I don't know his future but I think he will be better if he will be in a team that no other superstar except him.
I agree with this because he excelled when he is the leading player of Thunder back when Durant isn't in the team anymore and when he is in the Wizards.
Now in his stint with the Lakers, it doesn't go the way many are expecting especially the Laker and Lebron fans out there. If only Westbrook isn't paid that much this season and next season, they really want to trade him but with his high value they can't find anybody that is willing to get him. Well, the Lakers tried to trade him for Wall at Houston but they demanded more players reason why the trade didn't happen. They traded too many players with potential like Kuzma, Harrell and KCP for him and this is what they will get to him. Cheesy

Voted for yes though we all know that all of our votes are just a speculation and in the end, we still don't know what will happen with Bitcoin Smiley.

After a downward movement of the market because of the war, we've seen Bitcoin went up double digits alongside other altcoins and it surpassed the $40,000 price. I'm expecting for Bitcoin to stay above $40,000 and will move sideways to the $40,000-$50,000 price range maybe or $45,000 for some few days to weeks possibly just to shake out the uncertainties.

Though there is still a chance for Bitcoin to go below $40,000 still if there are some bad news that will pop out because we already know that the movement of the market is being determined by the sentiments of the investors.

There are many other gaming projects that are there for a quite some time already though some of them aren't really playable right now.
Illuvium
Axie Infinity
Pegaxy
Guild of Guardians
Chainmonsters
etc.

I also visited the website and it doesn't that attractive at least for me. There is nothing wrong if you will invest in the project but just put into your mind that you will still be ok if they ended up as a rugpull project. Just be ready with it because there are many NFT games already that ended up as a scam. Do your own research as always and if this project ended up as a good investment for you then good and we are wrong Smiley. Good Luck.

Conclusion: Most coins/tokens don't survive and you likely won't know which will and which will not.



Do you agree? Have similar experiences? Would you like to share?
This is the reason why I'm focusing on investing mostly on the top coins and I'm putting most of my money in the top 10 coins.
I've been investing in crypto for quite some time already (though I'm not an expert) and I've seen numerous projects that are being abandoned or just lacking something like community etc. and it will continue until.... I don't know as long as there are new projects that are being created.

As for me, I've joined airdrops and bounty campaigns in the past. I sold some of the coins that I got from campaigns and airdrops and the others I kept for no reason. Held it for at least a year and most of them still doesn't have value though there are at least 1-2 tokens that got value until now but most of them doesn't have any value at all.

Lakers definitely deserves to sit this one out. I mean it is clear that they are not good enough to matter during playoffs. So why would they work themselves harder and play in the playing tournament and then maybe get lucky and be in the playoffs first round and play 4 more games just to get swept? Just take an early break, stay away from the playoff this year and figure things out during the summer. It is clear that they are not going anywhere meaningful with this team.

Westbrook is HORRIBLE, AD is gone all the time, and Lebron can't do anything all by himself anymore. I still think Lebron is good, he is not bad at all, he is great, but not good enough to carry a team of role players to finals anymore, it is not that lebron anymore.

I think LeBron is getting old, he used to be good enough to take a team to the playoffs on his own but he's not performing like he used to anymore. I think the biggest factor is aging. There must be someone in the team who can help him, but they currently do not have such a player. That's why the Lakers are struggling this year, and LeBron will appear on a different team next year, maybe with his son Smiley
Unfortunately, he doesn't get any help from his teammates. I mean there is a help obviously but not enough for them to get the W in every game.

I can still remember the time where its like Lebron Vs. opponent during the playoffs when he is in the Cavaliers until they got swept by the Warriors in the NBA Finals. Now he can't do it anymore because like you said he is aging already. Well just seeing his age and his performance this season and you will see that he is still playing quite impressive but not enough to carry the team. He really needs more help from other teammates. The problem with the team is the roster. He got old players like him instead of younger and talented players and the 2 superstars that supposedly help the team to win a ring? Its not happening.

There is a high chance that Lebron will leave the team and might go to a team where it has at least one superstar until Bronny isn't playing in the NBA.

Binance is refusing to lock account belonging to Russian customer's, what is your take on this? I believe that this might be a better move due to Russian Citizens that don't desire war still being able to move their Roubles to crypto for safe storage.
Russian people doesn't want war and we know that already because we've seen some Russian people protesting with what is happening.
Its only Putin that wants this war but not his countrymen so why block those people who wants to use crypto.

Correct me but it would be better because with Russia being banned to use swift to transfer money, they will find another way and that another way is crypto. Its a good move by Binance not blocking these people and what is happening will favor to them as they will get more profit from it.

I hope that NLEX will be able to find a good replacement as I really like new faces at the Finals of this conference.
Base on the post that I saw on Facebook hours ago, the import that will replace McDaniels will be Terrico White. He is also a former NBA draft pick though he isn't popular. He is also a MVP in NBL in 2019.

Its quite sad to see an import that has such a huge impact with the team going out for some personal reasons but its part of the game. Now lets see how this new import of NLEX will play after McDaniels' last game against Ginebra.

Blackwater losing streak extended to 28.

https://pba.ph/news/northport-stays-on-target-for-a-qf-spot-blackwater-s-losing-streak-hits-28

Quote
NORTHPORT translated its desire into game to come out a 116-103 winner over cellar-dwelling Blackwater Wednesday and get right into the thick of the fight for playoffs spots in the PBA Governors' Cup at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

They are really not gonna win if they will not play hard, the ending is not even close and Northport continues their winning streak as well.
Can anyone guess how far the losing streak of Blackwater would go?

There losing streak lower down the morale of their players and I don't think they can recover for that huge downside, for sure they will get intimidated always on much bigger team or competitive team so I think this is the end of rally this season knowing they don't have enough fire power to lift up this team. PBA should always look after this since if there's a team will always perform like this and people always look at them as a farm team for sure this will be another ground that people will lose their interest again to watch every match on what team involve in this.
That's the problem when you are in a team with a huge losing streak like Blackwater.

You can't build the morale of the team which is one of the important factors for the team to win. With their streak to 28 already, its very hard for the team to recover from this because they are being hit by this losing streak mentally. Now with regards to how far losing streak of Blackwater will go, it will continue this season and until they will not get better players it will continue but I believe that they might end this losing streak of them by next conference (hoping) Smiley.
3488  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 02, 2022, 12:52:29 PM
As for the Lakers, losing 3 in a row again and sitting at 9th place in the West. So not good position that they are in, for sure they will go in play-in again in order to survived their season.

The Lakers might win the play-in and occupy the 8th seed, but I doubt If they can pass the round 1 against the top seeded team. Suns, Gsw, or even Grizzlies can send them to a 1st round exit.
The Lakers has almost no chance for the playoffs this year. They need to rebuild their team, get rid of WB and AD replace them with a good supporting cast. They can keep Melo and Monk as well.
If Davis will be healthy in the play-in tournaments then maybe they can defeat the Timberwolves or the Clippers who is currently at the 7th and 8th seed.
Now if he will be injured again then its over for them because I don't think that they can even defeat not even the Pelicans if he will not play.

I agree that the Lakers has no chance of winning the playoffs with how they are playing and just by seeing their roster, they have the experience yes but they don't have the capabilities anymore to defeat those top teams right now. If Lebron still needs to stay with the Lakers then they must let him stay and get rid of AD and WB. AD is injury prone and WB isn't fit for the team which makes them an average team. Get younger players and develop them "again". I quoted the word again because they already have Caruso, KCP and Kuzma but they let them go and now they are playing better than they are when they are still in the Lakers.
3489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 01, 2022, 01:29:09 PM
In a desperate attempt to try and keep the team afloat, the Lakers have released Deandre Jordan and plan to sign D.J. Augustin.  They're saying that Jordan will likely go on to play for the 76ers, who seem to be amassing as much talent as they can to make a run with Joel Embiid, who is playing the best basketball of his career while managing to stay healthy.  I'm not sure if this would be a good move for the Sixers or not, but James Harden and Deandre Jordan are both Brooklyn Nets survivors now of the KD/Kyrie pairing and might be able to bond over that shared experience...

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/33394673/philadelphia-76ers-emerging-frontrunners-bring-deandre-jordan
Well, if Jordan will be going to the 76ers then he can be a good addition to the team as they need a back-up big aside from Embiid that can substitute him or else they can be like the Suns last season that doesn't have any substitute for Ayton.

I think the addition of Jordan is a good move to him because he can substitute Embiid when he is tired already. The team can't afford him to get injured or even Harden or their chances of getting championship will go down drastically. We know that injuries really is one of the reasons in playoffs why teams are getting lost (Fck Injuries).

No other words to explain this video but NASTY!!!!!! That poster is NASTY that I repeated it many times. Feel sorry for Poetl though.

I was completely surprised with Ja Morant's performance in this last Memphis game.
He is proving to be an excellent player and consequently one of the best in the league.

I believe he will still evolve and acquire a lot of experience, because he is only 22 years old!!
The current roster of Memphis Grizzlies composes of young and talented players like Morant, Bane, JJJ, Williams and some veteran like Adams.
If the core players of this team will not be changed in the future, I think this team will be a consistent in getting a playoff spot.

No matter how high crypto coins go bear market is unavoidable it's just the way the market survives, many people are brainwashed with present market condition that they already forget what bear market is, no amount of money can stop bear market from happening, don't say I don't warn you be prepared.
If you are investing for a short amount of time then this might be a big help for you.
If you are investing for quite some time already, this kind of advice is very common already.

As for me who is investing for some time, I've heard this numerous time already and I know already that its not only in crypto that has bear market. Even though in stock market there is a bear market. Bear markets in every markets are inevitable. Just be ready if a bear market is happening and you're good to go.
3491  Economy / Economics / Re: Sanctions left and right, Can the Russian economy survive? on: March 01, 2022, 10:46:08 AM
I think they already know that sanctions will be imposed to them by other countries especially NATO countries so I guess they already have a solution with it. They might survive for a few more months but if this will last for years then I don't think they will survive.

Well, the war is over already since there is peace talks happening between the 2 countries and Ukraine is applying in the European Union. Now that the war is over, can I ask here if the sanctions are still in effect even though the 2 countries are in peace talks already? I'm curious so.. yeah Smiley. Thanks

On the other hand though, its quite shameful to the team if they will lose to the Blackwater team so I guess the streak continues Cheesy.

I think losing is just normal, and eventually, Blackwater will win because they are so desperate for a win, they will work every game to improve their chances of winning. I don't know when the streak will be over but I know them being winless will not be forever.

Northport vs Blackwater, the hottest team vs the coldest team in the PBA.  Smiley
Yes they will win I believe on them but not this season I guess. They will continue their losing streak until next season.
I just hope that they will get a very good player coming draft pick and let it stay with the team. If the owner really wants to continue his stint in the PBA then at least build a team that can at least enter the playoffs.

NorthPort vs. BlackWater. I will bet for Blackwater with this one Cheesy. JK JK!!
3493  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: March 01, 2022, 10:00:22 AM
That footage of Jeanie Buss walking out of the Pelicans vs Lakers game seemed to sum up how upset management is that they keep surrounding LeBron with stars but can’t seem to win a game. Russ has been playing terrible and it seems like LeBron is starting to feel the fatigue. With AD out again for several weeks, you have to wonder if this team will even make the playoffs.
Didn't see the footage but with what is happening right now with the team, maybe the highest position that they can join is in the play-in tournament already and I don't expect them to enter the playoffs as well. If that will happen then his 15 consecutive times of entering the playoffs will be broken.
Ninja Turtle (Westbrook) doesn't play the way they wanted to be. AD will miss again for several weeks. No one can step up and carry the team aside from Lebron. We are almost at the 3/4's of the season already and the playoffs will start in a few weeks. The chances of them entering the playoffs with how they are playing is very low and if they will, they will be eliminated again in the first round.

As for the Harden and Embiid pairing, it seems to be going better than expected. I can’t wait to see if the same fate awaits the Nets. It seems like that trade may end up being a win for both teams.
The Nets-Sixers trade is a win-win for both of the teams but Nets won the trade if you will just base on the players involved in the trade.
Harden made the Sixers strong since they aren't using Simmons anyway but Nets are stronger with their new players. Its just that their new big 3 isn't playing as usual. Lets wait for them to come back and play again. Many are still thinking for the Nets to win the championship this year.
3494  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The way things are going with new crypto is worrisome on: February 28, 2022, 12:20:02 PM
Almost everyone I knew now creates their own tokens  Grin these guys aren't even crypto developers to begin with, they have no coding experience or knowledge now this makes me worry, imagine how many crypto tokens that are created by inexperienced personal, I think we need to buckle up for there will be huge rain of scam tokens upon us than what we've seen before...... Sigh! I wish that only few qualified people knew how to build blockchain projects.
I think you're already late to the party Cheesy.
There are many projects already that have been emerged where the main reason is to just scam people. There are many tokens that have been created by creators who don't even know how to use any programming language. That is because creating tokens now can be done by everybody. Creating tokens now are easier that what is in the past. Just a few clicks and "voila", you already have a token Cheesy.

As for me, no need to buckle up as I'm just focusing on buying top tokens rather than risking my money buying those new and low market cap tokens. Maybe its better too if that is what you will be focusing with especially if you only have low budget to use in investing like me.

Canelo has been thru many weight divisions in his career and now he will go up again and face another title holder though he isn't popular isn't he?
Anyway, Canelo as usual is the pick to win in this fight but there is still a chance for Bivol to win (quite low though maybe around 1-5%).

Watched Bivol's highlights on Youtube and he is an offensive boxer but I don't think he can defeat Canelo. Canelo will just turn into a defensive boxer and do counter punching until it turn upside down then he will go offensive. Well, a trilogy of the GGG Vs. Canelo fight and I'm pretty sure GGG really wants to get his revenge against Canelo since he gave him his first defeat.

Still, I'm waiting for which team will lose to this Blackwater team. I'm very excited to see it Cheesy.

No team will lose in Blackwater. Blackwater is doing great in maintaining the hardest record in the PBA and the whole world. I believed they are dedicated to maintaining and improving that record.

There will be more losses to come at this team. No one can change it.

Go BlackWater!

If the team will be defeated by Blackwater I think they give a chance to a black water team:Smiley cause in what blackwater experiences right now is the hardest situation by a team even a single win they not got but in there all game has a loss.
I think that's the climax of the story of black water if they win against their future games but if they will still loss and no single win in the whole conference I think they build an history in the world of PBA.

As I said before, BlackWater will maintain their biggest record this season.

Seriously, the only time they will get a win is if they won't give up their good role players that showing some improvement now. Being in the lowest standing, they will also have a ticket in getting a good first-round pick every draft period.

They should also involved in big trades although it needs big money.
Well, I'm thinking the same as you and seeing the last 3 games of Blackwater which is is against Magnolia, TNT and NorthPort I don't think that they can defeat at least one of them.

They will get a good pick in the upcoming draft pick but as always, either MVP or SMC will get them again. That is the vicious cycle that is still happening and will happen for many more years. Now they got Rey Suerte which might be a good player and if other teams see him improving every season, they will get him again thru free agency or trade.

On the other hand though, its quite shameful to the team if they will lose to the Blackwater team so I guess the streak continues Cheesy.
3497  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: February 28, 2022, 10:07:58 AM

 The talk around the league is that Lebron is unhappy with the current situation. He told the management they should not get Westbrook and get some shooters, but they saw a superstar and took him anyway. It resulted with the team being bad, and now that they also didn't send him away for a better fit player until the deadline, its obvious they are not going to be great this year. With AD missing 4-5 more weeks on to pof all the games he missed, they are going to suck this year for sure. Lebron is furious that his last years is passing without getting some more rings and he may actually end up leaving. His contract is getting over and he could just do 1 year rental in any place until his son joins the league and just go join that team before he retires. Its a real valid possibility.

If I'm not mistaken, he was the one instrumental of getting Westbrook to the Lakers. He even defending the team in the beginning from the haters. Of course who wouldn't be happy with how the team turns out to be with all the superstars around. There were talks of John Wall - Russ Westbrook before the deadline but the Lakers doesn't want to because Houston is asking for more players. It's up for Lebron to leave Lakers, he might transfer to other teams will waiting for his son to play in the NBA.
I think this might be his last year with the Lakers and after that, he will request a trade for sure and there will be some teams who will be interested with him still.
I don't think that he can still afford to stay on the Lakers one more year with what is happening. Yes he is one of the defenders of Westbrook against bashers but it looks like it didn't work the way he wanted to be. He thought that they can still be a championship contender but they aren't.

Now with what is happening with the Lakers, it seems like their chances of entering the playoffs is going down. Now even the Laker fans aren't like them anymore and they are chanting boo's with the team already. Its understandable though that Lebron aren't the same as he was a few years ago because of his age but the problem is if he isn't playing, the team isn't playing well. AD is injured as well and Westbrook?? No comment for him anymore Smiley.
3498  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: You Must be Over 18 years on: February 26, 2022, 02:20:42 PM
I read every Internet gambling had requirements that must be over 18 years. if a child is under that age, how did the website owner know that child was enough to age?. Because I was explored every Internet gambling here that almost didn't require uploading an ID card. A child could be lying by clicking correct sign under the register box.
Have tried this when I'm still young. Not in a gambling website though but in a specific website where you will just put a check saying that you are 18 years old and then you can register now.
Internet is full of lies and so is that thing as well. You might see kids gambling already online and most of the gambling websites right now doesn't require KYC especially in crypto-based gambling sites though there are some gambling sites that are in your country that will require KYC. The website owner only knows that you are 18 or above if they will require KYC to you as a user.
3499  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: February 26, 2022, 02:00:07 PM
He is not an NBA player anymore and though he played many seasons in the NBA but his stats is not something be worried of if you are on the other teams.
We can check his entire basketball record ; https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/m/muhamsh01.html

I need to see his first game to decide and conclude if he can really be a big thing for the team.

For sure, SMB are happy but what is written in the paper could be different in the actual game, so let's see.
I'm a SMB fan but I don't know what to say with the import exchange that they did. Not happy though.
Johnson played well in their last games and he put up huge points in their wins so I don't know the reason why they need to change imports where the chemistry is already there. Just because he is an ex-NBA player that's why they changed Johnson?

I agree with what you said that lets see how he will perform in maybe his first 2 games before judging if he is a good fit for the team or not. Lets not set aside too that he also got an ACL tear in 2019 causing him to be waived in the CBA. I'm not saying that he might get it again but there is still a chance (hope not though). I'll watch his debut game tomorrow against the top-seeded Magnolia. If they defeated them then maybe we can say that he is better than Johnson. He is a legitimate scorer when he is playing in CBA though and there is one season where he averages almost 30 PPG.

every though is welcome!!! i just wonder what is the wiser choise of these 3 coins ada link and btc
Just buy other coins like Bitcoin or Cardano or Ethereum or even Binance Coin. Anything that is on the top right now is a good coin to buy.

There is nothing wrong in putting your eggs in one basket but it is more risky than diversifying your funds. I've experienced that as well. I bought a coin and suddenly it went down and my initial investment on that coin went down at least 50%. I just held it and kept buying other coins because I believe in diversification. After some time holding it, it managed to go up again and luckily I sold it in profit though I held it for a long time though. Still, I would prefer buying other coins than putting your money into a single coin only.
