You are right, but since both are really performing consistently well in the series, you'll have to take a high player props.
Just like the total points per player.
Durant, over/under 35.5
Giannis over/under 33.5.
Do you think it's a great idea to take the over?
Both went Under, KD only got 32 while Giannis only have 30, Bucks really dominates the Nets in this entire game, the help that KD needs from his teammate is not there, Jeff Green offense was missing He have a big part of that win from Game 5, and Even Shamet he only have 2points playing with 22 minuts, not the stat that you'll going to like since they are trying to close the series. Moving forward, we will see a do or die game 7 for sure we will see a much tougher competition between this 2 East super teams. Jeff Green was missing easy shots, he had like 2 or 3 near the rim, but he can't convert it. Same with Shamet and Harris, the Bucks has well defended them this time. KD too is committing errors, so we can attribute that to the Bucks defense as well. P.J Tucker doing good and challenge him every shot, even fighting screens. I think he has 4 fouls containing Durant. That's already an accomplished limiting KD to 32 points. Giannis and Middleton providing the score for them. |

Totally agree with your point of view, but the thing is Elon Musk has portrayed bitcoin mining as very bad to the environment and many people bought on that argument.
But even way back in 2017, it has been debunked already and now that bitcoin is again on the limelight, this argument surface again, but this time there was a face to it, Elon Musk. I guess he didn't understand how everything works, or just have his own narrative behind attacking bitcoin using this angle.

Though elon musk has not talked about many coins except bitcoin, dogecoin and ethereum, I believe he hates centralized coins. He's always in favor of the community taking the lead and the market being defined by the individuals rather than corporate. But his own company Tesla is moving towards a service based business while selling cars and becoming more like apple or facebook. It won't be a surprise if the next coin Elon advertises is his own private coin.
I don't think Elon hates centralised coins, it's really up to him what coin to hype next, but if you look at it, those coin that have been long and has a good support, those coins are more likely to be hype by him. Not only selling cars, but there are news that his company are going to sell solar panel, so guess what crypto are more likely he is going to hype? |

^^ PG13 is just on the shadow of Leonard in this series, but I would say that he is consistent, not just offensively, but in defense as all.
I love how Reggie Jackson, Mann and Batum are doing as well. They are also playing good defense at the same time hitting clutch three point. Wonder thought why Rajon Rondo is not giving enough minutes on the court, is he nursing some injury or something?

Really unexpected outcome both homecourt team lose their Game, Philly's messing with a blow out
game while Jazz have that big chance playing against Leonard's out Clippers,
Not sure what happened with Sixers as they've got that comfortable lead from the beginning of the game, just
like what wheelz said maybe some fans already turned the TV off thinking that it's already been settled and just waiting for the clock to finished.
Oh well, that's how things turns out, both number one seeders from the regular season are now endanger losing the series.
Unexpected indeed and if you are one hell of a basketball analyst, I'm sure you will lose both games. Sixers have more than 20 point lead and still lost the game when everybody expected them to be a blowout win against the Hawks suddenly everything turns around in the fourth quarter. I don't know if it's the coaching that contributed to the loss of that game but I have to give credit to the Hawks for still fighting even if they are down most of the time. Props to PG13 for lifting the Clippers even without his partner, I'm totally wrong with my expectation that they will lose this game because of the absence of Kawhi. Yep, lost both of my bets. Sixers feel very comfortable with that huge lead and all of a sudden here comes the Hawks and it seems they can't missed any shots while Sixers have difficulty in even making those FT. I agree that it may be partly on the coaching staff, they call a time out and then what? turn over, poor pass and poor shot selection. On the other hand, PG13 proved himself again and redeem his name in the playoffs. Who wouldn't have thought that they now have the potential to knock out the top seed in the West next game. |

Bitcoin is not a store of value, and anyone that confuses it for such will suffer dramatically. Short-term, yes they might suffer. If you bought at $60k, your portfolio doesn't look that good right now. But why are you thinking short-term? It's been proven time and time again that its value increases over several years. And don't forget that when bitcoin falls by 10%, alts fall by 20%. When bitcoin falls by 50%, alts fall by 80% or 90% and some never recover. Bitcoin has recovered every time and reached new highs. And as far as I know, based on 'store of value', it should be for long term and not just for a month or 30 days. So still, it falls under the definition if you are going to hold for years, just like the majority here. In any case, Charles Hoskinson take is not new to us, so what else is expected, not just from him but from the rest of those who are going to criticised bitcoin. And it seems that there argument sounded like a broken record already. |

This is bad for Lopez though, been asking this myself and from this community how some boxers after being infected by the virus, has lost their match,
1. Miguel Berchelt tested positive then lost to Oscar Valdez
2. Povetkin as well, lost to Dillian Whyte in their rematch
Those are the only two boxers that I can remember right now that lost their belt after contacting and then recovered and then go on to fight.
Not saying that Lopez will lose, but if might have a effect on him, so let's see how he will perform in August.

I'll bet for both teams playing at their respective homes.
Jazz vs Clippers - Jazz -5.5
76ers vs Hawks - 76ers -6.5
Also looking forward for both games to go over 220+ total points. Confidence should be high now that they are back home. If they lose this game, they might be no going back for another home game at Game 6. They should not allow this game to be snatched by a road team.
Cheers!
Agree, specially the Jazz vs Clippers, no Kawhi so this should be an easy route for the Utah team. For the 76ers, they could steal the last game from the Hawks, they just blew it off in the third quarter because they miss so many shots, including in the free throw line. I expect. them to start strong in the first quarter and can hold on that lead. Tailing both picks. |

As much as we want to appreciate PJ Tucker's defense to Durant, he is too small and I would say it is a mismatch that Durant will exploit for the remainder of the series. And it seems that the Bucks doesn't want to put Giannis on KD, but this should happen. The same thing that Clippers did with Kawhi defending Luka on their 1st round playoff.
Otherwise, KD will have a field day as he can pull up mid range jumper, play one on one or beat him on a fast break run.
@danherbias07 - good win again bro.

@bisdak40. This video would show that father time does not matter for Pacman hehe. His speed never went away. He might also be one of these special athletes similar to Tom Brady. Brady is 43 years old and he carried his team to win the superbowl hehe. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nd0ksV6ylM8Yeah, I agree with the comparison to the GOAT Tom Brady, who nobody believes that he can still the trigger and win one more super bowl, but he eventually did against all odds. So we will see, if Pacquiao wins against Spence, he will be in the Mt. Rushmore of the greatest boxers in the last 20 years to lace the gloves. Specially defying father time and fighting young boxers and winning against them. Legacy wise, Manny is above Floyd in my opinion. |

I've check the line on Atlanta vs Sixers -3.5 for Sixers is already a good open line. I think the road team will win again here to make it 3-1 in favour of the Sixers. Only Trae Young is consistent in this series, but the Sixers have adjusted and put a big guy in front of him, Ben Simmons a good and tough defender.
I'll pass on the Clippers vs Utah, but probably do some live betting.

So must still insisting that Bitcoin is not using clean energy? He will only accept it if miners are going to shift their source to a clean one? Doesn't make sense at all as we all know that bitcoin mining if ever not using clean energy only contributes a minor percentage to the global problem.
Why not him look at what companies or what countries are really not using clean energy?
In any case, good to see the market bounce back. Another big test to see if we are going to break that big $40k mental barrier.

Nuggets started pretty bad, in first quarter their field goal percentage was awful except Monte Morris. Still points difference is not much, so they are in the game.
Suns would like to finish this series tonight, defense looks good. Nuggets need to do some extra work, otherwise it will be over for them.
8 points difference at half, things are going good for Suns.
That's how Nuggets has been in this series, they give up early lead for the Suns. And Phoenix is good at protecting their lead. So if you look at the series, Nuggets doing the catch up and always fell short. It was a disappointing sweep. Star MVP was ejected, Chris Paul can't missed his shot, then they play good defense down the stretch to close out the Nuggets. The curse of winning the regular MVP and then not bringing your team to the finals, thats definitely hurt Jokic here. |

Why do people have to consider words from a celebrity to be correct?
It's because people thinks they have the 'authority', that's why majority follow their tweets and then react positively and negatlively. This is a case a concern for sure. People are not able to think for themselves in some case. Which can create a very dangerous situation for themselves and even an entire community with this mindset.
Unfortunately, this is true, and that's why we have leaders and then we have followers. But we do have a choice though, we really need to make that important decision, not just in crypto, but it applies in every aspect of our life. Why would anyone invest lots of money into a project that is quite obvious has no involvement by any people? Referring to Dogecoin and people who invested into it. This is like going to an empty store that is closed and dropping your money into the mailbox just for the fun of it.
In this case it is Elon Musk saying it would a great idea to dump money at an empty store.
Greed for one, they thought that they can make a lot money in Dogecoin. The whole market is full of this individuals, others became super rich, but majority losses because they chooses to follow and didn't used their common sense. |

So far 16 votes for Lomachecnko and only one vote for Nakatani, the guy who voted believes that Nakatani can upset Loma, the only way you can upset Loma is through a lucky punch if the boxer is not of Lopez caliber, Nakatani is good but he is not on Lopez caliber, if it goes the distance Loma will win, he is very fast always on timing and always frustrating his opponent.
And maybe after Loma win, we can compare how him and Lopez approach the Nakatani fight. Teo Lopez was extended to 12 rounds if I'm not mistaken and he was touch by Nakatani several times in their fight. And if Loma come here to win by knockout or win by decision unscathed, then we can argue that Loma is still a great fighter and should be respected by Lopez and should be given a rematch. So we will see, it's less than a week now. And for sure we will see a lot of this fight in boxing media. |

I'm half thinking of betting on Tsitsipas ahead of Djokovic, their head to head is 5-2 to
Djokovic so obviously Tsitsipas has beaten Djokovic as late as Rome last month.
Tsitsipas is building his aggression in matches is imo is really leading the field in
breaking the hold of the "Top 3". Yes as I type this I'm convincing myself to bet Tsitsipas.
Yes, Tsitsipas might have a good chance against Djokovic. If there is a tournament wherein the young gen wanted to assert themselves, then this is one of them. I do hope that Tsitsipas will show and come fire with fire. He almost beat Djokovic in their last match if I'm not mistaken, he leads 1-0 and up in the second set, but due to the rain, it was suspended and when they come back, Tsitsipas lost all the momentum he had. I'll probably go with Tsitsipas to outright win, ML, just a small bet as I can watch the game locally at 9:00 pm here. |

Clippers was expected to win the first game at home. Leonard and PG won't let a 3-0 happen as it's very difficult to bounce back with such huge deficit.
Luckily, the whole game 3 was a relief for those who bet a spread for the Clippers as they are maintaining a double digit lead, and ends up with a huge win.
Tomorrow, Bucks vs Nets is such an exciting game. Who do you think will win?
Me, I'm guessing the Nets will win a close game tomorrow.
The only reason they are down 2-0 is that PG is not aggressive enough to score at the same time he have lots of off night, in-game 3 we see paul George is eager to score and don't hesitate on his shots, just like when he's in the pacers uniform if he can duplicate his games like when he's in the pacers ill bet they can be in the finals this year, but if not, for sure in this series they will not make it. He has been in this sort of slump since the Dallas series, just sort of average performance from a player such as PG character. But eventually like any great players, they can break this slump and have one of their best game. And it shows in game 3 that's why there able to get a win against Utah Jazz. And as I have said, this could be a momentum shift for the Clippers. And if they can duplicate this kind of performance next game, expect the series to go on 7 game clincher. They are going to be the favourite going game 4 again. |

^^ Yeah, Pandemic George become Playoff George, this is what we have been waiting for him to do for the Clippers in the playoffs, at least carry the team and compliment Kawhi at all angles.
And I agree this is momentum shift, if they can keep this level of basketball, they can tie the series next game. The opening line for this game is -1.5 so they have covered it with some extra for those we decided to went -2.5 and -3.5.

What can you say about the Suns and the Nuggets though?
Lost my bet on Nuggets, I thought that they can at least win a win to make it 2-1. It's their home court, but Phoenix started very hot in the first quarter and I think the closest that the Nuggets was about 6 points and then Suns with Booker and CP3 again carrying the load.
Pretty much disappointed, now they need to win 4 straight to win the series, very slim chance.
