Now, how will the Milwaukee Bucks adjust to this situation? It will be back at their home which is a must-win, but after that, White Hot Miami will be waiting and will not be stopped from helping their players to play like this again. What a sight to behold, Milwaukee Bucks the top seeded team are on the brink of elimination by the Miami Heat, Milwaukee Bucks for majority of the game, and If I recall correctly Miami Heat first lead came in the 4th Quarter, I really gave up on Miami Heat winning the game already because the Bucks were incredible with almost every possession and late in the 4th Quarter Jimmy Bucket happened, he literally carried the team for the whole of the game, I remember him alone scoring 22 of the entire Miami Heat 28 points in the 1st Quarter, and he became some silent during the 2nd and 3rd Quarters, but he activated his bucket mode yet again in the 4th. While I wouldn't rule out the chances of the Bucks getting back into this series and possibly force a game 7, It's not going to an easy task especially without the Giannis being very healthy the Miami Heat just need to get a bit physical with him and it's going to be a tough night for him. I like seeing this series as a competition between these 2 rival teams. Remember, during the bubble Miami beats the Bucks and the year after that Bucks sweep the Heat. Now, the hot white Miami is on their way to take their revenge and embarrass the number 1 seeder from the east. Expecting to see lots of Meme on the social platforms once the Heat eliminates Bucks. Or, it can turn to the other side, let's wait if what will happen in this exciting round 1 series. |

It is possible for him to unify the belts in this division. If he will continue winning, he can challenge the other belt holder and unify everything at his age. He still got that winning capability. I'm not sure if there will be a chance for Donaire to still unify "all the belts" at 118 lbs providing his current age and status. Just for the record, since Naoya Inoue vacated all his Bantamweight titles, only 1 vacant title is fulfilled at this point, the WBA that is now being held by Naoya's younger brother, Takuma Inoue, just this month. The vacant WBC title, which will be contested between Donaire and Santiago doesn't have any official date yet. The vacant IBF Bantamweight title between Emmanuel Rodriguez and Melvin Lopez also doesn't have any official date yet. For the vacant WBO Bantamweight title, Vincent Astrolabio and Jason Moloney will clash next month. In some cases, these champions will have a mandatory title defense first before having a unification fight. As for Donaire, I think he might get a chance to unify at least 2 belts between the ages of 41-42. After that, if he still continues winning, I don't know if he will still continue his boxing career to pursue the other belts in that division. Anyways, just a speculation of mine about the chances of Donaire unifying all the belts since he is now 40 years old. It's not that boxers can settle and deal a fight at least twice a year. Time is running for Donaire if the goal is unifying all the belts although no harm in trying and that will be a record-breaking if happened. I agree, it will take 2 or 3 years at least for Donaire to unify all the title., that is if he will be able to beat his opponents. Regardless of his physical condition, he still have to beat the title holders which we know is difficult since these fight will not just stand there and absorbs Donaire's punches. Plus they are the champion because they are capable. So it is not only that Donaire is aging but also his opponent is maturing and getting skilled. Though it looks like the possibility of Donaire to unify all the title is slim, as one of his fans, I still wanted to see him hit that goal before he hang his gloves. That's the obstacle as we know and we already see the effect of getting age from this sport. His movement is far different from his prime, though the combination of punches can still be performed, but his speed might not coordinate. Though it's really slim to unify all the belts for that reason, as long as he is still standing and aiming to fight and win we might see him accomplishing it. (just hoping though) |

A win, still a win, whatever is the ground behind that win. As long as it was legit and clean, it will be on the side of Inoue if they will push the fight after the postponement and the injury is still not being cured.
I see both your point and, for sure, fighters are just aiming to meet each other inside the ring, whatever the reason
if the fight schedule being push, they will be there to face each other and will try to win from one another.
I think the same, if this injury did not happened now and instead happened during the fight of Inoue vs Fulton and Fulton obviously won due to the inability of Inoue to punch as he is used to, I will not take that win away from Fulton, as we must remember that during our lives we must face all kind of circumstances that are outside of our control and still do our best, but obviously in that case I would like to see a second fight in which both are at 100% to see who is the best under those circumstances. Yup! if that happened then so be it Fulton will take the win and expect for a good rematch if Inoue's camp will activate the rematch claw, though not sure as it will be depends on how the assessment that they will going to take. The fight was re-schedule and we will see them preparing. Inoue's injury might affect him but once the fight schedule come up, they will meet and they will showcase all the talents that they've got. Here things can turn out very well, on the one hand it is a total shame that it has been Postponed, but due to injuries, it is not good to fight when there are Injuries, Especially in boxing, because you need to be 100% and with less Probability of vulnerabilities in a fight, if on the Contrary when used with injuries it is done at risk and it will not be the same, if there are clauses or not, it can be Counterproductive due to the Severity of the injury, it is useless to activate a clause when the boxer still does not recover well from the injury, what happened for something would be,if it was postponed they are looking for the best date for the fight to take place. Yes, if there's an ongoing injury, then it's better not to proceed with the rematch, as we all know that the possible performance will not be the same as what the fans will expect from the fighter. Negotiating for a possible rematch on the later schedule can be done, as long as both camps are willing to proceed and talk regarding to the possible date, it will be a better way to please the fans who love seeing a full healthy fighter trying to win the fight.. |

Draymond Green is returning after his 1 game suspension and will give them some defensive help inside. If 2 out of 3 players ( Steph / Klay / Poole ) make a good game shooting wise this will be a win for GSW.
I think it's gonna be a close game and I wouldn't wonder if it's open to the last shot. If the series returns to Sacramento being tied at 2:2 there might be a chance That the Kings are getting nervous. They are quite inexperienced in the playoffs and we all know what the GSW are, they are champions.
Wow, how right I was about this game. It was actually open until the last seconds. Also all 3 ( Curry, Thompson and Pool ) had ok shooting splits which secured the victory. GSW taking a 10 point lead in the last quarter just to lose it within 3 minutes, what an exiting game this was. Sacramento also deserved this win as they fought real hard in this one but the Warriors had the last laugh. Game 5 will be interesting now. Will the Kings be able to stay strong at home or can the Warriors ride the momentum and overcome their problems in away games to steal this one? A big question that can be answered after game 5, they need to push more since we witness how great the kings is playing now, they manage to rally back just got point away before the clock runout. A win still a win, as we all know, even how close it was, the outcome still belongs to the winning team, let's see the adjustments from both teams in their next schedule. The winner will have a small edge to win the series. |

Hi I am new to crypto and wonder what are some of the best technical indicators to use for trading?
the best indicator to use in trading is Bitcoin price, because every time the price of Bitcoin increases it will indicate that the market will pump, but if the price of Bitcoin is corrected, then it will make the market dump, therefore I always pay attention to the chart of Bitcoin if I want to trading and of course I will also search and read the latest news about cryptocurrency and Bitcoin, because that can also be an indicator for trading (market movement). By experienced, it will dictate that there's a possibility that the market will rise once Bitcoin shows strong positive movements, and yes you can anticipate that there's a good market pump that might follow. You just need to work with your DYOR before calling or before investing in whatever project you think you may gain decent profits. |

Yes and No, it depends on how much this side job is fetching you, some side jobs are for extra money and they are not much and some are so good that you can be able to invest using such money.
I don't like side jobs because you are still going to work under someone, I won't expect anything great or life changing from this, it will be good if you can learn a skill that's not going away any time soon, a skill that will last you for a very long term, for example, I.T specialist.
Your life starts changing the moment money starts flowing into your bank account from different sources of income, a good side job or business can be very handy for a grown up man.
I think side jobs don't just refer to working under someone. however, developing a business is also included in a side job. However, the aim of side jobs is to increase income which leads to improvement and stability of one's finances. many people seek and develop their side job, then leave their main job because the side job has a bigger income. However, I think people who have second jobs or businesses have a goal of improving their finances. It includes small business. Side hustle gives you an additional way of earning money, with this kind of capability, then for sure you'll be able to have a good state in terms of financial capability. If you desire to be financial freedom, then having a side job or business can give you that luxury, and I agree with what you mentioned, some did leave their main job when they find good success with their side hustle. |

Yes you are right that mate donaire's wife is a good businesswowan and for sure they can handle it with care. And if donaire will retire in the world of boxing then nonito can make his own promotion that he can trained many young amature boxer that have a dream to became one of the greatest boxer in the world. because as we can see in the Philippines there are many young man that have a good dream to fight in the ring.
He can train and he can influence the future of those young amateurs by using his former fame as one of the Champ in this sport, and with the way his wife handles his career, she can follow that pattern and build a new champ. In training future champions, it is not the fame that helps but the experience accumulated by the trainor. Donaire can advise boxers or even teach methods on foot works, forms, counters, training etc. Fame cannot teach a boxer how to box but experience do. Absolutely mate in the world of boxing Fame is not the main train or and we all know that. In donaire's Legacy once he pursues training some amateur boxers then he can teach his experience like sayings that ( experience is the best teacher) because through experience we can learn more things and one of these is if a boxer will lose then he learned a lot. Then in the next match, he avoids the times that happen in his last match so he needs to improve and use other techniques. I guess that would be his goal one he hangs up his gloves and might be the reason why he's still fighting in the height of his 40s, well, apart from the fact that he can still fight impressively and might be next undisputed champion in bantamweight if he's lucky to unify the belts as fast as he can. As far as I know, Donaire already owned a gym in the Philippines with an aim to train aspiring boxers to be the future champions especially if they already got natural talents,, and then he also owned a gym located somewhere in California. It is possible for him to unify the belts in this division. If he will continue winning, he can challenge the other belt holder and unify everything at his age. He still got that winning capability. We are waiting for his upcoming fight and see if he will reclaim the belt and will try to negotiate while he still has that power to continue winning, else, maybe we will see him retiring. |

The Lakers took the series 2-1. The Lakers defeated Memphisi 111-101 in the night's game. The strangest thing in this game was Memphis scoring 9 points in the first period. Although Memphis was more effective in the 2nd and 4th periods, the mediocre basketball game in the first period caused the defeat. The next match will be on April 25. If the Lakers win this game, they will go away with a big advantage.
Yup, Lakers win the game with the best effort of all the players in both offense and Defense. It was a team play which give them the advantage and even Memphis did try to rally back, they were already out of time. I think if Lakers will take another home win, the edge may have to be better, possible that they can take it in game 5 or 6, but let see if how they will perform in their next game. |

It looks like we're going to see a repeat of Game 1 and Game 2 of the 76ers vs Nets series. The Nets had a good first quarter, but then the 76ers came back with their great defense, and now they are leading by 11 points at halftime. The Nets need to make their 3-point shooting more accurate to win this game since they have very few points in the paint, and the 76ers did a great job on that.
Yeah, to be honest, I'm rooting for the Nets to win this game, at least 1 win against the Sixers will not be a bad series after all. But it seems they really have a problem with Joel Embiid and Harden. But let's see, it's the start of the 3rd quarter and it seems that started very hot and cut the lead to 1 point. So hopefully it will be a closed game and Nets winning this game. Actually, the Nets can somehow manage against the Sixers because the roster isn't that really bad or not performing well but their problem is the consistency to have the lead and beat the Sixers in the end. Embiid and Harden is already a big problem for them because these two can really penetrate their defense and then there's Tyrese Maxey who is very agile enough to give the Nets a hard time. He's just an underrated player but he is also a big problem that needed to be solved. Maxey indeed provides the offensive side to prevent the possible loss against the Nets, he steps up and takes good care of their attacks while both Harden and Embiid are having some issues with the refs. Almost a win for the Nets, but I agree that you are right. Consistency is what we can notice with all the players of Nets, they need to work more if they want to win against the heavy dominant Sixers. |

It's more on the way both Donaire and his wife will project this possibility, as long as they are both active and both have the same views about the business. There's always a good possibility of success. |

As for his retirement, I doubt that, win or lose he will still continue to fight and bring more money to him and his wife. We also know that Rachel has somewhat takes care of their money and in their investments, so nothing to worry if even Nonito retires, he still some some money left and can sustain their family in a long time.
As long as he can make money, he will continue to fight. He might be old due to his age, but look at him. He still comes back after a brutal loss to Inoue. So, Donaire is really tough, and any boxer not on the level of Inoue might have a problem against an older Donaire. According to the article below, he is already a millionaire in dollars. Therefore, he has a lot of money to start a business and invest. https://surprisesports.com/athletes-biography/nonito-donaire-net-worth/Donaire has a net worth of $5 million as of 2023. That's a lot of money in the Philippines. If it's converted into Philippine pesos, that would be almost 300 million pesos. Well, a business would really help to ensure the growth of that money and secure the future of the family. With that amount, Donaire could also start his own promotion company in the Philippines. That way, he would be able to grow his business and at the same time, help boxers with the potential to become champions. Very possible that he and her wife will take that route. Aside from doing business after his retirement, he can also help newcomers to develop their skills and who knows opportunity will come and let them also be a champ. With that huge amount of net worth, he can secure his family's future by putting / establishing good business that he can relate in this sport. |

To make a living, we must work. In uncertain days like now facing the global economic downturn, a stable job with high income becomes a scarcity. A side job or business seems like more necessary than ever, which can minimize the risks of losing your current job, ending up pennyless. However, a side job/business also takes time and efforts and can never be attained whenever we need it. What did you do or will you do in order to ensure your finanical stability despite all unfavorable circumstances ?
In my opinion, we can't rely on one permanent job, we have to have a side business, even though the business is not much, sometimes it's the side business that helps with stability, because we have backup money, we don't know in the future, who knows, we might be fired suddenly, make our side business cash flow that can help stabilize our finances It's true that the more sources of income, of course, it will be much better because we never know what will happen in the future, but on the other hand not everyone has a side business which also requires new skills, so it is also important to learn skills. Very important to learn skills to offer your service for your side hustle, with this kind of additional earnings you can have a better financial stability, I mean if you are also good at handling your finances, side job can help you more. You need to improve yourself and always be keen on learning new knowledge, things that you can offer to land a good side job that can pay you decently. |

Yeah if Paul George is coming back there would be a chance but according to media insiders he is unlikely to return for a game in the first round of the playoffs.
Even with home court advantage now I don't see the Clippers beating the Suns because Phoenix just has too many offensive weapons. There is only 1 Kawhi but 2 crazy shooters to defend with KD and Book. My prediction for this series is Suns in 6 but I would also be happy with an upset, not a fan of super team chasing Kevin Durant anymore.
It would be okay if he does not return in the first half, as based on what I'm seeing, the Clippers really have a decent chance of winning due to the great chemistry of Westbrook and Leonard. Sometimes, two superstars are better than having a big 3, as there are only two options on the team to carry the load. Game 3 is tomorrow, and we will see if the Clippers will be able to take advantage of their home court. Winning tomorrow will give them a good lead in the series, as the next game will also be on the same venue. If PG will be added to their squad and with how they are respecting each other, I don't see any problem with the chemistry. It will be a good additional two-way star that will add to their squad. Game 3 inside LA, very interesting if how Suns will try to bring the advantage in their side while Clippers will do their best to have that edge. |

Shiba Inu i think is still worth to HODL for a long period of time. We never know what will happen in the bullrun it might pump that we might not expect. Just like what happen in Doge i thought it was just a meme coin but now after several years had past it continues to grow. Just like you I also keep some Shiba Inu in my portfolio and some other altcoins.
for short term i'd think retwice but for short term shiba definitely one of the worst coin you could ever hold honestly, after all it's always based on speculation in which could be turning around easily within months. meme coin in general is always bad for holding even only for 1 year. Maybe a typo from your statement but getting the logic, yes for short-term maybe you can earn something if you manage to invest in the right time, I mean if there's movement and you manage to ride along. And for long-term, you needed to think twice and do your research to the fullest, After that, then you can decide if you will proceed and hold this coin. |

It would be nice if he retired as the undisputed champion. That would be the ultimate success in his current division.
I really hope he wins, but it's not going to be easy for sure, and he needs to start working towards his goal by winning this championship fight. After that, there will be a unification fight, and then the undisputed fight, which means he will have to stay consistent and keep winning for a couple of years for that to come true. Remember that Donaire is also getting older, so age could be a big factor here, which I see as a disadvantage for him. His power and speed may be affected. I'm pretty sure he and his wife will use these opportunities to bring more money before completely retiring his gloves. We need to consider his age and his health, so after he wins, they might think about what will be their next option. For now, let's enjoy if the fight will proceed and see if he will earn the belt again and how he will take care of this upcoming business. |

Well, I have to clarify that personally I have never had any loan or debt in my life so this thread has nothing to do with my experience but intends to find out how people in loan/debt deal with the problem. Let's say you take loans from a bank and sometimes for whatever reason, you can not pay the debt on time, then you borrow money from other channels. Sure this works for a certain period but later bad things may happen, you have to postpone the payment and struggle with finances again. Isn't this a vicious circle ? How would you deal with the problem ? I am all ears.
I did it once and I regretted it, so the first loan I did became a valuable lesson in life not to do it again in the future. The reasons people make when borrowing are certainly different, but most of them are due to an urgent need, so with the belief that they will be able to pay it off in the future, they choose to take out a loan, but in fact what we think doesn't always go according to what we plan. I took a low interest loan with a short time, long story short because my loan resulted in a lot of my valuables having to be sold because at the time when I was due I had money but had other urgent needs so my finances were very messy. it made experience for me not to make interest-bearing and maturity loans again. We can't predict what future will bring us, even you think you have a secure job and you can pay your loans if there's something happen and the good example is the pandemic. You will lose your job and even there's a extension with your loans you still need to pay it and without any income it will keep increasing because of the interest. |

^^ Yeah, same with the Grizzlies game, it was very close until Ja Morant went out and it changes the game for them. Of course, we will give credit to the Lakers for taking the game 1 at Memphis, Hachimura can't missed on the 3 point line.
And then what can we say? Reaves is quiet the first two quarters even missing a easy shot in the first quarter which he usually make. But in the 4th he takes over the game and the Lakers fan love him.
So there are two upsets tonight, Lakers over Memphis and then the Heat taking advantage of Giannis winning this one.
Yes, even if the Los Angeles Lakers had a much easier way in the fourth quarter because of Ja Morant's hand injury, we can't discredit Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura's presence in the court because they were a vital key and the main reasons why the Lakers owned the 1st game vs the Memphis Grizzlies. Well, AD and LeBron was good as expected but the key players was the highlight in this game. That makes 3 upsets, Lakers defeated Grizzlies, Heat defeating the Bucks, and there are the Clippers who defeated the Suns as well. And with that, it seems that the Memphis Grizzlies are not ruling out Ja Morant's playing in game 2. I wouldn't say that this is a must win for them, but they don't want to dig a deeper hole against Lebron and the Lakers going into their homecourt with a 2-0 lead against them. So if there is by chance then Morant will have to show up in this game. It seems that every playoff though he got injured himself and so we are not seeing the full potential of his Memphis Grizzlies although they are not complete because 2 of their players are sideline already. Even before the Lakers won game 1, I already thought that the Lakers are just too much for the young Memphis team. Now, they have proven that they are the better team, and with the situation of Morant, the Lakers could potentially have an edge. Even if Memphis wins game 2, and the Lakers win games 3 and 4, Memphis will still be in a big hole as only a few teams have come back from a 3-1 deficit. It can happen that way or the young Memphis will use this as a good inspiration to win the game. Morant-less can be a good advantage for the Lakers, as the main gunner / scorer really affects the offense of their opponents. Time for everyone to step up and provide numbers to cover what they'll possibly missed while Morant is still in question if he will play in game 2. |

Therefore, my bet is on the Suns -7.5 and Cavaliers -5.5.
I got a win! It was easy for the Cavaliers, but the Suns game was a little thrilling because they didn't control the game in the early quarters. Luckily, Booker continued his great performance, and they won and covered the spread. Sometimes, when the bet seems difficult, it's the easiest one. Cheers for you! Phoenix Suns won although I have seen the Clippers gave them a difficult time to claim it. The 1st half was nerve racking as the Clippers reached a 13 point lead. That's where I saw how the Suns can play better than Game 1. Defense will always be the key. This is the playoffs, every possession will be important and now I have seen them being careful with the ball. Let CP3 do the handles and when KD was doubled, find an open man. Love the game they showed today. Now the question, will they bring the momentum to LA? One game was snatched from their home, it's their chance to get it back. I trust that they will win to even the series, so I might as well bet on them covering the spread, and that's it. Maybe I will also bet on the teams tomorrow that lost in the first game. Bucks and Memphis will be my bets, maybe as a two-team parlay as well. By the way, Draymond Green is suspended in game 3, but the spread only moved by 1 point, so I think it signals that the Warriors will still win the game. Yes, Phoenix, make it sure that they will tie the series before flying to LA. It will be a tough series if Clippers will take another game on the road. Good catch for those who take the handicap as Suns covered it. Next games, I also think that both Memphis and Bucks will also try to equal the series as both need to stay away from 0 to 2 deficit the way it was now for the defending champs. But I still believe that even Green is out Warriors will find a way to win the game at home. |

Although Donaire may be old, he is still worth watching as long as he keeps winning.
That's being conditional, I think we cannot guarantee that he will win. When he fought Inoue, he was still entertaining to watch because he wasn't afraid to go toe-to-toe, and I liked his confidence in believing he could beat Inoue via knockout, which is why he let his guards off. However, Inoue is an exceptional fighter, and it won't be the same with Santiago, as he's not on the same level as Inoue. That's true, but if I were Nonito Donaire, I won't let my guard down against Santiago too. Donaire already felt the defeat against Inoue and it must've affected him bigtime mentally, but I believe he will probably come back stronger and he should still stay aggressive with his moves as that is what he is known for. By not letting Santiago have control of the pace of the game, he will probably win this without heavy damage. That way, whatever he is pursuing next, if it's unifying the titles, then he can do it in a sudden schedule. He is getting old, he must make haste if he truly wants to achieve what Inoue did. That sounded like I already concluded the winner but I know he will be. I think he can come back, he has done this before in this career, after a lost, he come back strong and defeat his opponent. So as far as his mentally goes, still one of the best because of the experience and maybe he is still that kind of boxer who manages to overcome his own pysche to become a world champion again. We just have to wait for the official date of this fight, they might be on the negotiation table. But hopefully after what's been said and done, they fight can be made so that at the end of the year we will know if Donaire can still hold the WBC bantamweight belt. I also believe that Donaire can still win if the fight will proceed, for now maybe still in the negotiation stage, and once the fight date is already declared, Donaire and his camp will start preparing and condition both mentally and physically. Let's hope for the best as we wanted to see him back inside the ring after being defeated by Inoue, hopefully he will regain the belt before he decides to retire or whatever after the upcoming fight. |

Chris Paul has lost his last 14 games when Scott Foster was the referee. Will tonight be the night he breaks that streak? With the Suns down 0-1 in the series, they certainly need it. As ridiculous as Scott Foster’s hate for Chris Paul is, I’m not sure I’d go against it. I’m honestly not sure how Scott Foster still has a job at this point…
Numbers working against Chris Paul, so who knows, but it's going to be hard to go against that stats. They are down and Kawhi seems to have gotten into his sweet spot in this playoffs, not a dangerous sign for the Phoenix Suns. But they still got Durant, who has plenty of experience too in this kind of games so I think he will step up and try to bring the series into 1-1. Never thought that the Warriors will be down 0-2, but now they are going home and the chances are high to take a win next game to make it closer against the Kings. Durant needs to step up and push everyone they need to work as one and show that aggressiveness to win the game, they are inside their home court and fans are there to support them. It's time to pay back to those people who are willing to cheer for you. The core players need to work together in bringing the confidence to each other. They need the win as they can't afford to lose both home games. |
