Warriors wins game 5,

It was a hard fought for them indeed, and it also come with a great cost, KD is out of the series 

I don't know if the Warriors has only delay the inevitable, but so it seems.

Oh man!! I'm trying so hard to resist the temptation, literally!

I really just wanna enjoy the game with no emotional attachment 


You saw/read it here first. 

It seems KD will be definitely playing tonight, according to rotoworld, although minutes restrictions are not yet known. Even if he might not be performing up to par, I'm sure he'd be a joker and that'd cut Curry and Thompson some slack.

Who's ready for a come back ?

Semedo is awesome!

But Barcelona hasn't been making proper use of his talents, I still don't understand why Sergi Roberto he's preferred to as a right back to him, I don't want to him leave, Sergi Roberto should be deployed as midfielder, and not a right back.

Both Brazil and Argentina have not been playing up to whats's expected of them, Both teams last 3 tournament have been disastrous, despites going to those tournaments as among the favorites, It won't be surprising though if there is another winner other than Brazil and Argentina. Chile used to be a tough team too, they are the defending champions after winning two consecutive times, but they seem to be having a series of bad form too. So no one can tell for sure who would win this.

It was during an interview, he didn't mention which clubs they were, so there is a chance he's bluffing.

The only news I've heard about Eriksen is a move to Real Madrid being likely if he's to leave Tottenham, I don't think he'd want to join Man Utd in their current situation with the stars he could be looking forward to playing all wanting out of the "Sinking Ship" like you said.



LOL!
Man Utd fans might atually prefer having him as an interim manager once again

Another unfortunate event, The match has been officially abandoned, both teams will get a point.

This is absurd, the ICC should have been prepared for such occurrence, It's a world cup for crying out loud! I don't how many more matches will have to be called off like this, the less stronger team will always have the advantage in such situation, which is really unfair, IMO.

Mourinho shouldn't be really desperate to get a job, he's made a name for himself already. I learnt he's turned down a couple of offers already.

I doubt Mourinho will be willing to take a job at Newcastle considering how much of an ego he has, but with more than enough money for transfers that he would afforded with, he might want to get back at his previous employees.

I'm reserving my bank roll for a potential game 6 and 7, call me an optimist, idc!

However, I found a pick that interest me from my bookies, which is the Warriors to score at least 20 points in each of the 4 quarters currently offered at 2.15 odds, I'm going quite big on that, as that will be my only bet for tonight.



Good luck with your bet bud!

I'm having mixed feelings here fr, I'm thinking GSW might pull off a great show, like they almost always do when in dire needs, I could be really, or maybe I'm just to expectant of them.

Congratulations to Portugal as they secured the win over the Netherlands. It was a deserved victory for them they were the better team over both halves, Netherlands were only able to record just a shot on target all through the entire game.

I'm also backing the Netherlands to win the match, but I haven't placed any bet yet. I'll only be doing so on the live bets.

Portugal's reliance on Ronaldo will be evident as usual, It will be incredible to see how Van Dijk will fare against him for those area/physical duels, It's definitely going to be a huge night for him.

For fairness sake am I the only one would love to see Warriors win game 5 ? Even if KD will be unavailable ?

I'd love the Warriors to win in Toronto, then KD should be in line for the game 6, although the probability of that happening is about 40% if not less. Then just maybe the Warriors can force a game 7, that'd be such show for real!

There are some mistakes with your math,

Round 4 is  4x multiplier right ? If yes then there's no way any participant will get + 15 points... 15 is indivisible by 4 to get a whole number...

So;

If Toronto could win and end the series in game 5 then the scores will be

LTU_btc = 63 + 0      = 63
Hhampuz = 51 + 8(2x4)  = 59
Harizen = 49 + 8(2x4)     = 57
leonair = 48 + 12(3x4)      = 60


while, If Toronto wins at 6

LTU_btc = 63 + 0      = 63
Hhampuz = 51 + 12(3x4)  = 63
Harizen = 49 + 12(3x4)    = 62
leonair = 48 + 20(5x4)     = 68

 

Literally, they've been brilliant defensively, but I think that has been due to the fact that they only have to defend tightly against just one or two players, They defend so tight against Curry and/or Thompson while loosing up at least a bit on other players an giving them they chance to make shots knowing they can't be as terrific as either of the aforementioned duo, It might be different case if they have KD to worry about too.

I really think that has been the major strength of Raptors this series or perhaps all post season, You can't underestimate any of their players. You afford Siakam, Green, Gasol or Van Vleet a luxury of space you get punished, none of these players can be under marked, We've seen almost all their players turn up at different occasion when the pressure are on the big players.

I guess we are only 9 participants here because hundreds of other users in the sections are just here to meet up with their weekly sig requirements  

It would have been more fun if we could reach at least 15 here before the tournament kicks off.

This got me! However, I don't see Warriors winning the next 3 games against this Raptors team even with Durant in the picture, they're just so full of confidence.

I think either way LTU_btc would win at least the second position, right ?

Those multipliers are really game changing factors, once round you're out then the next you're fighting for the top spot.

The crazy thing here is the fact those who went with the Raptors did so because it was their only shot at winning, as the current leading participants obviously were going to back GSW. 
 
Good luck to you guys.

A lot of things didn't go as expected for Warriors, but that doesn't mean Raptors performance so far should be undermined, They've worked so brilliantly hard and lady luck has been on their side too, So they duly deserve everything they have achieved so far, Should they win the Championship no one else probably could have deserved it more. However, it would have been interesting too see how the series could have been if Warriors were in perfect shape too.

Lol, Man! I was awed last night, I couldn't believe I was watching the GSW play, they looked so clueless and short of ideas, I got so irritated how they get caught off guard repeatedly by the same Lowry's passes (most especially to Ibaka) in the 3rd and 4th Quarter.

As for FIBA, I have no idea about that yet, I'll probably be very busy with RL then, I doubt I'll follow up with it that much.

Benzema shouldn't have a problem retaining his post as Real Madrid's first choice No 9, at least for the start of the upcoming season except he gets inconsistent for a long while, or an injury lay off that could allow Jovic prove himself as the better choice.
