The NBA is at fault here, they should not created this "load management" because it's hard to control it to be honest. A team will certainly find ways to preserve their players to avoid injury, especially when they are already guaranteed with the playoff spot, I think they should review this as there's a lot of criticism about this, they are making NBA soft, missed the old days, sorry.
I agree to that, it's not the players that are soft in this modern era, infact players are most explosive, can shoot deep threes, and even have the 250+ pounds body that can move swiftly, agile and fast. But it's the NBA itself for changing so much in-game decisions from regular fouls down to technical fouls. I remember Timmy got teched while sitting at the sideline for laughing at a referee's decision. Back in the 90's you can't get tech taunting and shouting at your opponent after a poster. You can't really compare era's though, maybe what the NBA has done is to really help the players with all this load management, but it seems it has back fired on them. Players and fans are criticizing it. Now the control is more on the officiating, teams can challenge a call, etc. There's a lot of changes now and the NBA has really evolved, but there are pros and cons about it. You can compare eras. I'm a huge bb fan but its soft now vs the 90s. I mean hand checking is a foul now. Hand checking was just part of defense. MJ would average 50 points a game in today's era. Its like football and what they've done. Imagine Jerry Rice and what he could do in today's "can't touch after 5 yards". Load management is just another way of saying players are getting soft. |

Did anyone else miss out on the Dogecoin run?
This is up 100x over a year or two, and it is still going higher.
Over a year or two ?? Bro, Doge price was /100 on 1st of January 20 21  I'm really getting bored with this hype. What a pity newcomers are rushing on such projects (doge is followed by many copycats). Imo we need a crack to clean the cryptospace  It will undoubtedly happen it always does. In every bull run complete crap rises for no reason and then when the dust settles there is a new group of bagholders and a group of people who think crypto is a scam because they bought into this crap without looking in the first place, natural selection. |

It's always advised to take profit at intervals during bull because you never know when dip will come and how far it will go. Contrary, there is a perspective of holding for long to get a maximum profit( as said by CZ : "you can't be rich if you can't hold"). From the little survey i did, holders usually earn more profits that people who take little profits. However this depends on your kind of person and what works for you, holders are patient people who don't care whatever happens along the way. Profit takers see opportunities and take profits and move to next one. It's a very deep topic to be honest, and I will like to have your opinions on this. Please share your views
Holders have always won. Also major tax implications. Depending where you live it could mean paying tax of short term gains up to 40% vs long term at 15% or around there. That right there might make more sense just to hold in itself. Where one lives and its national tax outlook (i think Germany has no taxes if you hold over a year) makes decision making also change. But yeah I long long run traders get burned holders get rewarded...generally. |

Doge is a real example of a coin that can be controlled by a billionaire.
so strong was the power and fame of the elon that the doge, which was originally an ordinary coin, flew uncontrollably as it is today.
just take a twitter tease elon musk can turn an ordinary coin into an extraordinary one.
for doge holders this is certainly a great achievement but for people who do not invest in doge like me, today can only see the power of a billionaire who can change and control the market.
At the same time a coin that is propped up by memes and elon tweets in a bull is fine but when the market turns, these coins with no real substance are going to fall like a rock and hide back into thee d honey badger as the bag holders take massive lumps lime every other bull turned bear. Watch out for that turn it will be epic. |

Anthony Davis will be back in uniform for the Lakers against the Dallas Mavericks tomorrow. A long time coming. Will be great to see them get LeBron back soon for a nice Finals run. They’ve both been missed recently as the Lakers have dropped quite a few spots out west. I still like their odds overall, as the Nets haven’t gotten much time together playing as their new team (although with that much talent it might not matter).
Yep once those 2 are back and playoffs start back to business as usual for bron. People are looking at the Lakers with this lineup and discarding them. Probably the best time to lay playoff odds on the Lakers once they start winning with those 2 again odds are gonna drop like they always do at playoff time. |

Unbelievable!!! 3 months ago, I thought $0.08 was the highest price of $Doge, and I chose to short it As a result, now it is $0.4 and I lost my money  In the past weeks, BTC and ETH were all dumping, only dog-related coins are rising, Dogecoin ($DOGE), SHIBA ($SHIB), Akita ($Akita) have all risen a hundred times, too crazy!!! What will the price of $Doge be? And which one will be next dog? $DOGIRA have a chance? $DOGIRA aims to bring Native Blockchain Gaming, and Asset-Rewarding NFTs into the mainstream. Led by Industry veterans, the Dogira Team aims to be at the forefront of the technical innovations that the Blockchain 2.0+ Revolution will deliver to creators, investors, and consumers. Keywords: Dog and NFTYeah shorting in this type of market never fares well sorry to hear. But it was just dog related coins its pretty much the whole industry going up. As far as the coin you brought up. It could but more than likely it will end up just being another pump and dump coin like most of the rest of them. |

No question about it, Curry has lead his team this season with his historic shooting and scoring. But I'm not sure if that is enough for a ring, probably they will be having a hard time winning on the first round of the playoffs. But what's important is that these young guys get the experience.
Sure, Curry is a phenomenal scorer, but he needs more support from teammates because GSW's participation in the playoff is still questionable. Even if the Warriors will end this season at the current position, then they need to win another two games to reach the playoff. They are not expected to make it to the playoffs because they miss Thompson, however, the way they are playing, they are really competitive and I think the new rules that the top 10 is included in the playoff elimination really help them as they have a shot to be included in the playoffs. Just trust Curry and his team, they may look so underrated now but we know that GSW has a championship experience and were champions for like 2 or 3 times, so they are still a tough team to beat. Good to see golden state warriors fighting again for the playoffs. This makes me happy as they are one of my favorite teams. I wish that klay thompson can make a recovery before the playoffs but i dont think it is possible There is zero chance he comes back for the playoffs. Seasons done in a couple of weeks. He will be lucky to be ready for the first game of next season. I just hope klay can ay again let alone at the top flight that he has in the past. |

Honestly unless you are at the very end of your career load management is a little dumb. You play to win every year. If golden state load manages Steph and gives him a game off a week or only let's him ay half a game those are almost assured losses. Sorry but if I'm a coach and steph is healthy he is on the court.
I personally think load management is bullsh*t (unless If necessary) and I think some teams are abusing it just to let their superstar rest and avoid injury. I mean everyone is susceptible to injury and it really feels like load management is somehow considered as cheating. Fans are paying tickets to see their favourite team and players. I remember the Spurs was fined by the NBA for benching out Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili while the playoffs was closely approaching. Curry doesn't need any of those. He's hungry to win and play from regular season to the playoffs. The NBA is at fault here, they should not created this "load management" because it's hard to control it to be honest. A team will certainly find ways to preserve their players to avoid injury, especially when they are already guaranteed with the playoff spot, I think they should review this as there's a lot of criticism about this, they are making NBA soft, missed the old days, sorry. There really isn't anything Adam silver could do. Ypu can't mandate healthy players ay x number of games or x number of minutes per game. If so who qualifies for this, it gets real messy. Only thing you can do is shake your head, but good on curry for not wanting to "load manage" or kerr to sit down. Players and coaches from the 80s and 90s would never deal with this. |

@wiss19, I think Curry could still get an MVP once their team will quality in the playoffs, they don't need to win a championship or be in the NBA Finals as Giannis had the same scenario in the past but he still won the regular season MVP.
Curry is on an improve level now, he can score 30 points easily, I guess that's his average now (Correct me if I'm wrong), and the way I see it, he is so happy playing and basketball seems easy for him.
As I have said before, Curry is on a personal mission to win the scoring title this year. Bradley Beal is still leading though, but let's see after this week, if Curry's incredible streak continues, he can have overtaken Beal and won the scoring title. I wouldn't say that he is on an improve level, he is really on his prime right now, 33 years old and carrying his team on his shoulder. Golden state might make it in the playoffs with this kind of performance of curry but, is the team management realizing that they are shortening curry's playing time in the league? if he will take the load of the team he might just 2-3 years before retiring, if you have a precious player you have to manage his playing time for the good of the team and that player, there is no sense of letting him play with nothing to loose then will be eliminated in the first round, that's a bit careless for the management. I think it was Curry's decision to really play and not do load management this year as compare to other teams or players who wishes to sit down and not play. Medical science has advance throughout the years, so I think he can still play 2-3 years down the line because they are going to protect him with sports science. So it's not careless though, they know the risk involved here and Steph and his family know this as well. Honestly unless you are at the very end of your career load management is a little dumb. You play to win every year. If golden state load manages Steph and gives him a game off a week or only let's him ay half a game those are almost assured losses. Sorry but if I'm a coach and steph is healthy he is on the court. |

Knicks with a great win over the Pelicans yesterday, they needed that. With that being said what in the world was Lonzo ball going to cover d rose on the drive down the lane down 3 with 2 seconds to go. Let him score lol. Left bullock one of the Knicks deadliest 3 point shooters. If I was the coach he would never hear the end of that.

I still don't get what your product is supposed to do. Maybe you need to do more than post a picture and a few words. Description and use case would be welcome
This is an old thread and was one of the very first bitcoin collectables. I mean what does art do or baseball cards do. In short its a loaded physical card. In the beginning was an easy way to gift someone bitcoin or even give someone bitcoin who didn't know the first thing about crypto. |

There is no doubt we are going to have an altcoin season just like from 2017 event. I believe before BTC hits its maximum ATH for this season altcoins will start to blast headed by high market cap altcoins headed by ETH, XRP, LTC
Any recommendation for coins that can give me 50x to 100x , against BTC pairs. Just sharing my bags do you think these are good? BTC 30%, ETH 20%, LTC 10%, BNB 10%, UNI 10%, BCH 10%, ADA 10%
Share yours.
Honestly it seems any alt on binamce is doing well pick a coin any coin. No rhyme or reason why. Usually will be followed by a hard crash, this one is going to sting a lot of peoe real hard. I recomend staying close to the biggies and don't get caught too hard on the wrong side of the line. |

Yeah, Madoff fucked over a lot of rich people over a very long period of time--but if you've read a little bit into the history of the scam, there was one guy who kept questioning how Madoff was making such steady returns in both bull and bear markets. He even reported his concerns to the authorities, who did absolutely nothing.
It sucks when anyone gets scammed, but I'd have much more sympathy for the victims if they weren't so rich to begin with (but I'm not saying they deserved it, because they didn't). It does amaze me how brazen Madoff was to just flat-out lie to his clients for so long.
I didn't realize he was so old, but I guess time flies and I'd kind of forgotten all about him since he's been in prison. Too bad, so sad about the judge not letting him out on compassionate grounds. He didn't deserve that IMO.
When you are so big the authorities don't look into you, he has savy investors how would he scam anyone, lol? Convenient how they turn a blind eye. Saddest part of the whole story is the people that lost everything and were legitimately taken and lost everything they had. Point in case never put all your eggs in one basket...even with bitcoin. |

I have to say, I am very impressed with what the New York Knicks are putting together this season. I sure did not see this coming, but with that said I'm also not surprised being that they are coached by Tom Thibodeau. As a Chicago Bulls fan I was absolutely furious when the Bulls management forced him out of Chicago. He may be absolutely "basketball nuts", as he's a bit overboard with his passion for the game at times, but he sure does get results. I believe the Knicks have the best defense in the game right now...crazy.
Same here mate, I did not also expect that Julius Randle will be this good in this season. I don't usually watch every game of the Knicks but man, they are on a hot streak now and Randle made 44 points and 10 rebounds against Luka's team, I never seen him put up this kind of numbers before to be honest. Randle has been posting numbers lile that all season. I usually watch every game and randle has been nothing short of amazing this year. His baseline jump shot is sick and he has been amazing on the boards and running the team. Finally enjoyable to watch after years of throwing terrible teams out there. |

Honestly it's your risk assessment and what you are comfortable with. Depending on the coin its a great way to see the country(world) and go p2p for the trade. If you aren't comfortable with an in person transactions, in the US there are police stations you can use to do the transaction. I've done it multiple times and its about as safe as a transaction can be. http://www.safetradestations.com/where-to-trade.html |

NFL experts of this thread, is there a chance for Jimmy Garoppolo to return to the Patriots and reunite with Bill Belichik? I am quite certain Cam Newton will not be their starting quarterback if they want to play in the playoffs.
I speculate that Jimmy Garoppolo might have a better expectation to be NFL regular season MVP if he plays for the Patriots. 91.82 odds in sportsbet.io, more than 10x than an ICO from 2017 hehehe.
If the right deal comes along but they are only going to take a rock solid deal and Patriots usual MO is to give away late round picks for vets and thats not gonna do it for Jimmy. At #3 SF will probably get the 3rd qb off the board so there is a good chance they want Jimmy for the season and part ways next year. If I had to guess, no would be my answer to that. What I hope will happen: Jimmy G stays with the Niners until retirement, stays healthy, wins multiple super bowls, and makes the 2021 draft and the #3 pick a forgotten and meaningless snippet in history. What I fear will happen: The Niners will draft Mac Jones; he'll sit on the bench for a year while Jimmy G plays good enough to trade for a first round draft pick; Jones will compete for the starting job against some UFA promoted from the practice squad, and lose; the 49ers will go 4-9 (on their way to 4-13); Shanahan and Lynch will be fired; and it'll be a decade before we see another playoff berth. When san Francisco trade up to #3 there is absolutely no way they can not play that qb, and they are getting a qb. That GM will be insta fired for trading away draft assets to pick up a player ypu aren't going to play. If Jimmy stays this year its for a maximum of q year tops there is no doubt about that. |

I like the Yankees today and also link that with the under 10.5 in case their bats go silent. The other game(s) i like is both the Boston games (doubleheader) for the over. 6 is the over under and I'm banking on at least one game the both score 3. If both score 3 the over has to hit. These shorter games with lower over unders I like, especially in the beginning of the season as the pitchers are still rusty.
Edit: hate to say this but dodgers are definately the team to beat again, their team is so strong.

Whether or not Dot is the "ethereum killer" or another project will be, history tells us new technology comes along and surpasses legacy technologies, so maybe this year , 10 years from now or 100 someone will come up with something that diminishes eths use case.
