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.

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.

It seems that these two contains a lot of misinformation. To the OP I urge you to read this three threads to have a good understanding of what LN is:

Yeah, 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.

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.

It's because people thinks they have the 'authority', that's why majority follow their tweets and then react positively and negatlively.


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.


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.

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.

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.

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.

With the current market trend? NFT and the whole staking. So it's really up to what is the hype at any given time. Before it was IEO, 2017 it was really a boom and many investors making tons of money.

Long term? crypto's like ETH, BNB, ADA will be a good project to invest. We all know how strong they are and how is the support of the community. If you have invested on them during the bearish cycle, they you could have made profit as well, in 3 years time.

Will be very difficult for the Hawks to win their series as they have close the gap on Trae Young. He can't get a good look and always contested. Capela is only good for a few quarters, but after getting into foul trouble, no one can stop Joel Embiid in the middle.

And then they have Seth Curry to contain as well, Tobias Harris being consistent on attacking. Lot of variables for Hawks to look. Trae needs to score 50 points to get close of winning a game against the 76ers.

Regardless if they sold on not, Musk shouldn't release any statement that will hurt the market in general.

But he did, that's why there are a lot of speculation as what is his reason behind this FUD. It's definitely has something to do with his business, we have heard that they are going to sell solar panel so maybe this is just one reason. If they did sell on top, definitely they have profited big by this time and we can only wait for their next public release of data as whether it is true or not.

Seems like this is the case, it coincide with the news that the Chinese government is cracking down on bitcoin mining. And there could be farms voluntarily shutting their services and then Chinese media putting some spin on it.

Short term it can effect the price, but there's no need to panic. Maybe this "news" is already price-in as ber bitcoin is just hovering to $36k-$37k.

Thanks for bringing this up, but I will say that majority here doesn't heard about this special event as this is more of the technical side. But I do hope that at least many members here will take a look at this event and see what Taproot can bring in the table for all of us. So yes, this is a very positive and welcome development for bitcoin's ecosystem.

Yes, and Tsitsipas won the Lyon Open tournament last May and has been in the finals in his last 2 or 3 clay court tournaments. So I guess book makers thinks that Tsitsipas will be the overwhelming favourite and basing on the tournament itself, how many sets did he lost before reaching the semis? He has been winning 3 or 4 matches and ripping opponents, just like what Rafa has done as well.
