.... I think overcoming egos is going to be the biggest challenge for this team.
They need to sort this one out. I don't think the coach can do anything if the players do not personally let someone lead the team. What's happening with Lakers right now also reminds me of the Wade-James-Bosh Heat era. There were two leaders in their first season together but Wade had to give up the lead role to James the next year and they started winning championships. Or recently, KD-Curry-Thompson. Curry step down and let KD lead the team, winning MVP honours during their championship run. But I think the coach though will have something to say, they need to listen to him, otherwise there will be chaos on any team, not just Lakers. They somewhat need to respect Vogel. But I do agree that it was really embarrassing to see how the Lakers collapse on that game. Anthony shooting an airball 3 to force a tie. And then them throwing a bad pass, still a lot of learning curves for this veterans. But what they needed is Lebron to be back in the line up. |

I've added a poll for you guys to vote, so fire on. Let's see how the voting public goes: Crawford on his recent interview says that definitely this is his toughest fight so far in this career. But he says a Thurman fight will be bigger that this Porter. Terence Crawford’s scheduled showdown with Shawn Porter undoubtedly is Crawford’s highest-profile fight since he moved up to the 147-pound division 3½ years ago.
Yet even with Manny Pacquiao retired and Errol Spence Jr. recovering from a serious eye injury, Crawford doesn’t view his upcoming fight with Porter as the biggest welterweight bout available to him at the moment. Crawford considers a fight with Keith Thurman, Porter’s rival, to be bigger than his WBO 147-pound championship defense against Porter, a former IBF and WBC welterweight champ. https://www.boxingscene.com/crawford-thurman-fight-bigger-porter-fight-thurmans-doing-whatever-hes-doing--161558Maybe pre-injury and pre-Pacquiao lost Thurman is the biggest welterweight. But after the lost to Manny he seems to be settled right now and not looking for a fight. Maybe if Crawford beats Porter here, he might call Thurman out of his 'semi-retirement' and have a fight, who knows. |

What are we doing today? I’m not sure I’ll be able to place any bets or watch the games tonight because of some other things I have going on, but I gotta say it is tempting to throw a big parlay out there today with the Mavs, Bulls (maybe), Jazz, 76ers, & Warriors all looking like they should have a win in their future tonight. With no Nets or Lakers playing it’s a good evening to take off.  Bulls vs New York Knicks might be a bit tricky, so you might be better off removing them in your multibet. Mavs, Jazz, Warriors might be a good to put a parlay, they seems to be unstoppable at this point. And 76ers needs to bounce back so possible that they are on going very hard to get a win against the Pistons. Wizards vs Hawks is also a difficult game to predict, but I will go with the Wizards at handicap, they might pull a surprised. |

We have specific date now for this fight: BoxingScene.com has learned that Donaire will make a mandated defense of his WBC bantamweight championship against unbeaten Reymart Gaballo on December 11. Showtime will televise Donaire-Gaballo as the main event of a tripleheader from Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. https://www.boxingscene.com/nonito-donaire-reymart-gaballo-showtimes-main-event-1211-from-carson-california--161548but the article also says that it won't be the same card as Casimero vs Butler The Casimero-Butler bout will not be part of Showtime’s tripleheader December 11. Good thing is that the fight will happen in Donaire's hometown if I'm not mistaken. And there's a lot of Pinoys in Carson, so this is going to be huge for Filipino boxing community in that area. Probably we need to wait for the betting line to open. The fight is still far away though, but I believed that Donaire will open as the favourite here. |

Its barely pulled back in the wider picture, just the first fib level was where we got to. No greater test below that occurred though it would have been reasonable. The rise over the last 24hr was above the 12hr average almost the whole time, very fast action and we got to say BTC remains bullish showing no real signs of negative action only a slow after climbing consistently. Positive outlook remains while we maintain above 62.5k which is the weekly average. If we were to fall especially I think we get some repeated warnings on that but cant conclude that from current action. We're barely in the $62.5 levels, but this is still good in my opinion. If we can maintain or at least push the price to $63k at the end of the month, it's still a good indication that we can still continue this bull run in the next two months. So there's no slowing down, maybe just some minor pull back and correction and then we will continue to march on in December for that 6 digits. |

It's no longer 2017, that time every airdrop was worth like hundreds or even thousands of dollars. But in 2018 and onwards projects and bounty hunters themselves are to blame for putting a bad reputation on airdrops. So I guess the OP just put up another proof here, but majority of us here doesn't do any airdrops anymore because you are just wasting your time, plus there are scammers asking for you to deposit first before getting any airdrops and then they require KYC too, Lol.

OP, if the skit says that the devil invented Bitcoin, then who controls the banks who have always been truly against Bitcoin? Are the bankers the angels who would save society from the “devil’s invention”?  What's more devil than a bank?  Anyhow, this is still publicity to bitcoin, just imagine that a comedy television show has covered bitcoin again. If I'm not mistaken, this is not the first time they have talk about bitcoin, they even have ehem, Elon Musk to pitch about his Dogecoin like 6 months ago. |

I still count him tough, Errol Spence is still unbeaten and has the WBC and IBF belt. And unless that surgery is not successful or it didn't heal as expected then the boxing community can strike him out and be counted as champion in recess and if he will able to comeback then he could get back his belt again. Don't take Arum words, he is a promoter and obviously he wanted his cash cow Terrence Crawford to remain on the top of the welterweight division. And you can't compare Sugar Ray's injury I think it was caught when he was about on the downhill and the science that time is not that far advance as compare to today.
Arum is not Spence doctor he has no knowledge about Spence's condition and he admits it, I don't think Spence career is over we have an advance technology now to address Spence eye condition, if ever it's a big loss in the boxing community, if Spence cannot fight anymore he is on the peak of his career and it's not yet settled who is the real king in the welterweight division until now there is no official announcement of Spence condition, we should not believe on what Arum will say when it comes to Spence. Yeah, that is my argument, Arum knows only promotions that's why he says that. And as others have said, yes detached retina is very dangerous and could be a career threatening injury, but with far more advance testing, maybe they can re-attached it perfectly that Spence can go back fighting at if the injuries didn't happened. So don't count out Spence yet, if Crawford wins this tough match, and Spence is fully healed, then they should settle once and for all who is the best welterweight of our generation. |

Probably another trick in Elon Musk book, (1) if someone ask him how much "x" cryptocurrency he owns, he will say no (2) it will have a domino effect on that "x" coins pulling the price down (3) Elon Musk buy a ton (4) change his stance and he said he bought some (5) the price spike, (6) more money again for him.
So for me I wouldn't bother to read his tweet or whatsnot. We should decide for ourselves and not blindly listen to any crypto influencer, not only Elon Musk.

It's interesting to note as well that in the list, most of the countries are either under-developed or developing countries. Which goes to say that crypto really empowers those un-banks and give. them economic and financial freedom. So I would say this is really a plus for those countries and for sure it will grow in the next decade or so. The merit is there, if and only if countries in Asia and Latin American will continue to make a big stride. We already have institutions coming in, what we need is government, like what El Salvador did.

Luckily, things are changing rapidly and mainstream adoption may come sooner than we think. Do you guys think, this will happen within this decade or not?
Not really sure if banks will die just because of digital age, yes they will adapt for sure but won't be totally erase as they are considered one institutions by all countries. They have been in existence for centuries so for sure they know how to adapt with different trying times, from ww1-ww2 and other financial disruptions throughout mankind's history. Yeah, maybe CBCD will be the thing in the next decade, or cashless society, e-wallets, but still banks are going to exist facilitating everything. |

What happened to the Knicks?! I loss my parlay just because of them. I mean, losing against Orlando Magic??!
That was unfortunate. It's understandable that a parlay might be wrecked if the one you lose is those odds starting at @1.4. But for @1.12 that's almost a sure win and even the ball is round, the Magic has less chance to upset a better and much improved New York Knicks. Just a few days ago, Knicks won against the Magic by 25 points without any problems. That's a good reason to take New York Moneyline in a parlay but turned out to be spoiled. Just the breaks of the game mate, I would have to bet on New York to win. It was in the 4th quarter that Orlando put up a good quarter, 36 points and it was more than enough to give them a 6 point lead. And it was Terrence Ross who single handedly carry the Magic in the 4th quarter scoring all of his 22 points. That's like Steph Curry's numbers, lol. |

Well, they will be facing the Grizzlies next, who is 1-0, they really needed a win and not fall to 0-3 at the start of the season. They need to get back on track and forget all the Davis and Howard scuffle. Maybe Howard says something to Davis that the latter didn't like. And this game against Grizzlies will be at Staples, so they have the home court and the fans behind them to see their first win this season. Lebron will take over this game and hopefully we can see Westbrook unlock his potential as a Lakers in this game.
It's worth noting that the Grizzlies look good, considering their performances in preseason games and in the first game of the regular season. I mean, they are not an easy opponent. So the Lakers could suffer a third defeat in a row if they don't find a way to improve mutual understanding on the court as soon as possible. It seems that this season will be hard for coach Vogel.  Fortunately, for the Laker Nation, it was good to see them winning their first game of the season. Yes, they are not an easy opponent, but when teams like Lakers are back are against the wall, they will really have to performed better and that's what they need. Although I'm expecting Westbrook to really play good, it was still below expectations, but 13-13 is not that bad for his first win as a Laker. |

^^ As far as competition goes, yes this will be his biggest fight and probably biggest pay check as well.
And it's really good to see him stepping out of his usual Top Rank opponents and trying out the first time to fight outside but with a bigger name in Shawn Porter. And for that I'll give props to Crawford. And if he wins in a convincing manner, would consider him as the top of the welterweight division, even higher than Errol Spence in my card.
You can't count on Errol Spence anymore as he is still inactive and probably would not be able to come back soon, so Terrence is the number 1 on his division but he has to fight fighters that are popular like Porter (which he will be fighting as per schedule), and probably other names that were champions before. on the latest news, Arum said that Spence future in boxing is uncertain. https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/10/deontay-wilder-still-dangerous-says-bob-arum-talks-jared-anderson-errol-spence-more/Arum Is Not Sure If Errol Spence Can Come Back
“What I don’t know is there are detached retains and detached retinas,” Arum said when asked if IBF/WBC welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. will be able to come back from his eye injury.
“Is it completely detached? is it partially detached? I’m not a doctor, but I was involved when [Sugar] Ray [Leonard] had a detached retina, and they reattached it, and it was stronger than it was before. He went through that. I still count him tough, Errol Spence is still unbeaten and has the WBC and IBF belt. And unless that surgery is not successful or it didn't heal as expected then the boxing community can strike him out and be counted as champion in recess and if he will able to comeback then he could get back his belt again. Don't take Arum words, he is a promoter and obviously he wanted his cash cow Terrence Crawford to remain on the top of the welterweight division.

Yes sir, we finally have a date, It will be November 27. Unified Lightweight Champion Teofimo Lopez (16-0, 12 KOs) will finally make his maiden title defense of his WBA, IBF, WBO, and The Ring belts against George Kambosos Jr (19-0, 10 KOs) at Hulu Theater, Madison Square Garden, New York, on Saturday, November 27 – live worldwide and exclusively on DAZN. https://www.boxingscene.com/lopez-vs-kambosos-made-official-november-27-hulu-theater-dazn--161397It's like just over a month from today, so everyone get ready for this fight as there are a lot of fireworks just by looking at the history of trash talk between the two. So far no odds yet, however, sport bookies has still a lot of time to list this fight. The initial betting line shows the Lopez is a 6-1 favourite to win this fight against George Kambosos. This is similar to the odds of Herring (champion) vs Stevenson at 8-1 odds currently. So again, for those who loves to put money on the underdog because of a bigger pay but bigger risk, maybe this match will be a good one again. Lopez is good but Kambosos is also very touch and durable fighter and has earn his right to be a mandatory for Teofimo's belt. So let's see if the odds are going to swing as the fight gets closer. If you can put a parlay on the two underdogs, that would give you a good payday once they both win. Today, we will witness the fight of Herring vs Stevenson, so let's see if that x8 off of Herring would give money to the lucky bettors who trust him to defend his title. Herring already lost, so if you put a parlay, then obviously you got destroyed already. But we still have this fight so we can single out Kambosos with that great odds. I'm not really sure though if there will be swing bets for Kambosos or even to Lopez. Odds for Lopez ML is 1.09, not that attractive, while Kambosos is 6.20. But let's wait for other betting options first to get a better odds in this fight. |

^^ Nevertheless, I would be happy to see the price above $60k this month, nothing fancy. The S2F model points to $63k for this month which we already achieved and then even higher. So a $60k at the end of this month is still within the timeline of a 6 digit price in December base on that model. So I will not panic at the "huge" correction after reaching all time high. Besides we have seen this in the past and then bitcoin bounce back 2.5x after that in just 2 months.

I don't think there is a paradigm shift to chaos, and I disagree that bitcoin can be define as chaos.
It might tip the balance as far as economic freedom goes for individuals, but it will not be enough to cause disorder and confusion in the financial markets. And don't think that bitcoin is a magic bean that will solve every human problems.

What I am excited too see is that Mike Tyson to fight a young fighter who's not skillful enough or didn't win atleast one fight. This exhibition fight isn't so worth to watch because this vlogger called Logan Paul isn't even a professional boxer who is worth to fight the legendary Mike Tyson, even their skills and record aren't so near and it is so obvious that they're just amassing the peoples money for this fight.
I bet this match will end in not more than 7 rounds, I reckon. Tyson is so much for this young fighter.
This fight will probably go to 8 rounds and then we will see how the judges score the fight. And as others have predicted, it could end in a draw. And for sure, like the Tyson vs Roy Jones fight, the referee will be very strict and will be under specific instructions if the fight goes beyond the the 'exhibition' fights. Meaning if the referee sees that Mike Tyson is going that far, it could be stop anytime. |

As far as Bitcoin market sentiments, I usually used this website: https://alternative.me/crypto/fear-and-greed-index/Just to check what's everyone is thinking and feeling at the moment. I'm not into altcoins though, sentiments maybe hard to predict because it is very volatile as compare to bitcoin. |
