The Philippines is not expected to win all the way, but beating a good team like SoKOR is already a great achievement as they have been beating us before. We send a team that is not even popular, not mature enough, or has a big experience in international games, but here we are now, we are winning and proving to the world the Basketball in the Philippines keeps improving.
Indeed, a win against South Korea is already a great achievement for these young fellows and they did not do it once but twice, that is not a fluke. These cadets would have a difficult time if they face teams like Iran or Australia and I don't expect them to win against those teams I've mentioned but they are already deserving to be in the final roster with their performance against SoKor, though this is not possible as we all know that the final roster would have some veterans in it and possibly an NBA star in Jordan Clarkson. I think that they have learned a lot from the previous roster, and have watched the tape, going to that game, still a young team but already, proving a lot that they can do it, Clarkson is still not clear I think, as he still needs approval from the jazz, but we still hope he can play under our flag, and bring glory to the Filipino people. |

same old strategy by big holders of BTC, it's just a loop they already sold their BTC that is why the price goes down, and with that small BTC holders are trying to sell small part they hold, on the other hand, whales are so happy buying the bitcoin that you sold, news and another public figure fuels the issue and the result is the price going down if you are in 2017 2018 bull run, I think you already knew what to do, before its too late, you have to remember a few months ago, banks already open its door for cryptocurrency, which means sooner or later it will be globally accepted, it's just a matter of time and laws to be passed.

First Nets and now 76ers. NBA becomes unpredictable once again. Hawks will play against Bucks. Giannis versus Trae Young. Trae is confident with every shot he made while the 76ers cannot find their offense. There's just one thing the Hawks have to do, put pressure with Seth and Embiid. Harris was not helpful at the last minutes of the game like there's a lid at the top of the rim. 76ers should do something about their big weakness if they are keeping him, Ben Simmons. Danny Green's lucky charm is not working anymore.  Danny Green  Oh well seems Simmons is no longer listening with the fans, he didn't adjust not sure if what happened to him his numbers in terms of scoring is not that good. I agree if Sixers still wants him they need to work with his FT but I don't buy that, if he really have that star quality attitude he will keeps on attacking. He's good doing that from the regular seasons, seems weird it's the ECF semis and he's numbers declined. Very Well, Young got all the help he needed towering the hawks, Gallinari for me is the one who lift them in the last dying minutes. Congrats! Ben seems don't want to take a shot, even when it's wide open, looks like he doesn't want to play, the first time I watch the game between these two teams, and the first I saw that's not in his usual self is ben Simmons, imagine you are wide open underneath the basket with a crucial point and what you did is pass the ball to guarded teammates, so something is not right, is it the coach or he's not in the mood. |

What a game, Paul George and Booker exchanging shots, but booker continue scoring and making plays for his teammates, Ayton dominates the paint area, this will be hard for the clippers since Leonard is injured, I think the suns have the edge to make it to the finals, but if Mann will play the like the game 7 with the jazz, this will be exciting.

Durant another monster game, he almost won the game with that 3 2.
Now we are going into OT, I'm feeling that the Nets will blow this up. Bucks looks very tired so let's see if they are going to choke. Holiday and Middleton and Giannis will have to double their effort here.
If not for the miss free throws though, Bucks could have won the game already.
On the contrary, it was the Nets who choke on the OT as they only scored 2 points. It's evident that a one man team of Durant can't do it alone. And then we have Bucks acquisition of Holiday and PJ Tucker who has help a lot in offense and defense to get them the win. Giannis with a consistent game in this series, it's just he was overshadowed by Durant. Nevertheless they got the win and that's what matters now as they will go on the ECF. Again Middleton have a great performance and Lopez, this is what I'm saying the last time that if these two players will have a good game, they are going to beat the nets, because Middleton have great moments before in winning a game, and Lopez use his length in game 7 with those crucial blocks but durant did his best to carry the team it's just not enough. |

There is not much time left for the last game of the Nets - Bucks series. It is very exciting already.  Irving hasn't still bounced back from his injury. And Harden still didn't seem like he had his 100 percent in the last game. I hope that he can help KD really much for a win. I'm supporting Nets in this. If Durant have to play whole 48 minutes again I don't know how it affects his shooting percentage, maybe he will be more tired than usual. Still it's Game 7 so you have to put your everything to reach Conference Finals. There is interesting stats for Game 7. In history home teams win %78 of 7-game series, but against Milwaukee Bucks %100 of them won. Which means Bucks never win a 7 game series at road. It's historical statistics and definitely won't affect tonight's game but you gotta take this home team advantage seriously. I hope we will watch a very good match. That's what NBA is all about. Durant vs Giannis, I think Durant wins every time. Strangely, it’s looking like Giannis has more help than Durant now with Irving out and Harden playing poorly off his injury. If Middleton has another huge game I could see the Bucks advancing, but I still feel like Durant is going to bring home the W. Starting in an hour on TNT for those who will be watching along. durant better bring out the best in this game, or else there will be a lot of criticism that is going to be at him again, this is also a good situation for him to prove to everyone who doesn't like him that he can carry a team to the finals, or it will be another disappointment for the fans, so if they win this series with only Durant this will be a statement. |

The jazz fall in love with three-pointers in game 6, they forget that they have Gobert inside the shaded lane, and I don't know why Clarkson never plays in the fourth quarter wherein he scores tons of points, a few seasons ago this is the same mistake they did, taking three's while their center, have higher chances and will open the floor for them, instead they are taking contested shot in the fourth, I'm a bit confused but congrats to the clippers.

Any thoughts on how many games Chris Paul will miss in the next round? Will he miss any at all? Can the Suns win without him?
I'd be curious on results of a poll about how many games Chris Paul will miss. I haven't followed the news as much as I'd like, but it seems like he's been in quarantine for a while and was already vaccinated. If even vaccinated people have to spend weeks out of work due to protocol, it sort of makes you wonder how effective the vaccine is in the first place and what the point of it is...
It looks like it still unclear when Chris Paul might be available to play because he hasn't re-joined the team at the moment, and I don't exclude that he might miss a couple of weeks. I guess if the Suns play without CP3, then they probably will lose in WCF, Imho. I don't think so, especially if they will play against the Clippers who are still missing Kawhi Leonard. This is bad for CP3, he had some injury and now he is out for covid-19 protocol. https://www.nba.com/news/reports-paul-in-protocols-status-for-west-finals-unclearHowever, I know bookies are smart, and I believe CP3 will be able to play in the WCF as they are still the favorites to win the WCF. Almost all of the teams now missed their star players and some are playing with injury. Jazz - missed Conley Clippers - missed Leonard Suns - missed cp3 76ers - Embiid playing with an injury. Nets - missed Kyrie. Nets - Harden playing with an injury. I think this season where almost all-star players got injured during the process, this might be the cause of not practicing so much because of coronavirus, since their body is more exposed to practice their body adjusts to less contact, but still, some of that player is battling those injuries in the process, some got severe injuries. |

I've been seeing and hearing this game NFT games this month and it is really popular and hot in our country right now many people are applying for some scholarships and the majority of these applicants doest even have knowledge on blockchain, cryptocurrency, etc. So cut this short you need to invest to be able to earn on this app, Minimum I think a thousand dollars plus the fees. I have been planning if I should invest in Axie Infinity, Is it profitable? Any thoughts or recommendations, Or Members who are active players?
I think they don't need to have knowledge in blockchain because what they are doing is to play the game, and they are being paid by their managers by the end of 15 days and 30 days, what they need to know is how to play the cards and combo's, I can't imagine them learning blockchain, just to play, they just want to earn as a scholar. |

Kevin Durant has done what he could but, the bucks are on a mission to take the series to game 7, harden scoring is no where to be found in-game 6, i think he is still inured, this is what I'm talking about that if you want to slow Giannis you have to stop Middleton and tucker, but the person that is notable in this game is Lopez, he finally uses he's length if you will see who have the height advantage in this series its the bucks so they should take advantage of it.

Leonard's injury looks serious because his status now is "out indefinitely", and according to the news, it was an ACL injury and he might be out long term. We never know if he will come back in the next round or the WCF, but without him, I think the Clippers will suffer against the healthy Suns.
That's very unfortunate news for the Clipper's fan out there. Without Leonard, I doubt if they can win this series against the Jazz, and if ever they do win, they might be sweep by the Suns IMO. The odds for game6 are already out and the Clippers are the slight underdog which means that bookies are anticipating a Jazz win especially that Mike Conley is expected to be back in that game. ACL is a serious injury, if it's a severe one then it will be the end of the season for Leonard, but I just hope that it's not that bad, just when PG starting to be the player as before, Leonard goes down, this I like when he was in OKC, I don't know if this is really just unfortunate or what, but I hope to see those two play together win or loose because we don't want to have any excuses from someone saying something like they are not complete, they could have won. |

This is why learning and looking at the project before you spend lots of your money in a project is very important, I think this is the problem the new investors are facing right now since they saw that some of the coins can make them a millionaire in their thinking, that is why they are easy to take advantage by a false project, learning and monitoring the situation is very important, the slightest mistake will put you in a unfamiliar situation as an investor.

Playoffs PG just show us that he can do his thing again, glad they got the win and hoping that the homecourt advantage the next time will make it close to advance on WCF. Well, if LA goes to the wcfs then Phoenix will go to the finals, with or without KL.
I'd doubt that for now. That's what I'm talking about pg needs to play like in pacers days, but now the jazz is on the ropes, they need to do something and shows up as the first 2 games of the series, Mitchells seems to be bothered by something i don't know maybe he's not that 100% after all, Clarkson, they need to adjust with the clippers defense if not, then being at the top of the standings are all that they can show, to the fans, to early for them to exit. |

I'm new to this whole thing and recently I've realised that too many projects are volatile and not trustworthy.
Any suggestions for tokens that are more trustable and worth holding for 6 months and more? I will do my own research of course.
(not those spam shilling messages please idk how common they are here)
Look at the top 20 coins in coinmarketcap, those that you can afford to have taken, this is the same suggestion I gave to my friends and now they already have a big portfolio, too bad every time I give them advice, I am unable to by because I don't have funds, while they have a lot, this top 20 coins never fail if you have look at them for the past 5 years they have grown a lot, which I expect more in the coming years. |

The game is close and the Brooklyn Nets finally take the lead here in the 4th quarter. the way they play is not right as if they were panicking in every possession. With James Harden in the court, he still adjusting without playing with them in the last games. now that Irving is out he needs to do his thing without overdoing it because they still have another game to win if they can get through this one.
Edit: Final score MIL 108 BKN 114.
Durant did almost everything 49 points with a big help from Jeff Green 7/8 in 3 point lane. Wow! I'm really amazed at how they came back from a 17 point lead of the Bucks. It's their fault, they did not preserved it very well. A lot of their plays didn't make sense. Giannis shooting threes, foul troubles, and they just didn't take care of every possession. They will sure look into what errors they made and they will puke at how bad they are. Giannis made a lot of turnovers by forcing it in the paint, Green made him pay by selling the offensive fouls. The bucks let it slip away, especially Giannis his free-throw will be a very big factor in the series, and the nets with a very good coach like nash will try and take advantage of it, game 5 is already in the hands of the bucks but because of the free throws and turnover by Giannis the handed it to the nets with those errors in the dying seconds. |

Harden is looking pretty bad out there. If he’s in that poor of shape you’d think they’d be better off letting their other guys take his spot. The way he’s slowing the pace and not putting up points it’s pretty clear he’s a liability out there. Unless he comes with some second half heroics I don’t think Durant is gonna be able to lift them to a win alone.
The nets are not looking good right now, they are not the same team in the first round, and yes harden seems just not the same old self, although right now they are trying to rally and only down seven, they need a facilitator like Irving, looks like they prepared for harden return only three points for harden way out of his normal scoring. |

Can the Bucks take this very important game 5 with the Brooklyn Nets? if kyrie and Harden can play this will favor the nets, and the decision for them is very hard, if they are going to play one of those two, what a tough decision to make for this game, for the bucks Middleton and tucker are the key players because once those two clicks, it will be easy for Giannis to score since nets have to guard also those players.

Refs owned the broom so they decided to sweep it. Eject Jokic with flagrant 2? Wow! It's like killing the Nuggets team. I stopped watching after that. Kind of like a scripted scenery. Flagrant 2 was a bit harsh and it was 1 at worse but to imply the game was rigged by the refs was uncalled for. Nuggets were already down at that point and Jokic was too careless. What was he thinking swinging down his arm like that? It is a closeout game and they let Jokic get ejected just because of that play. I know that the foul is a little bit reckless but giving him a Flagrant 2 for a close out game?? The refs are very soft right now making this league very soft. Small bumps leading to fouls and even ejections. It must be a Flagrant 1 only but.. it is what it is. Its over already. Will the Suns have a chance of beating the Clippers or Jazz?
Yes unelss CP3 gets injured. Lets take note that CP3 suffered a shoulder injury in the First Round against the Lakers. So far the Suns are in a 7 win streak and this is CP3 healthy. If the Point God suffered this injury again against the winner of Jazz/Clippers then they will be in a huge trouble. With the performance of Suns in the 2nd round, I'm thinking too that they have a chance of beating the Jazz not unless CP3 will be re-injured which is I hope not. What I don't like with the clippers style of play is too physical that after they did something they will act like they never did something wrong, like what they did to Donovan the last contact is paul George which is a bit for me intentional, those things limit Mitchell movement and I'm 100% sure that he is injured and just trying to play, hurting player just to take advantage should not be tolerated, if not other players will pretend its just a simple foul. |

why not? if you hold the tokens or it's in your possession, I don't see any reason that you can't sell them, but sometimes those values are fake especially if your holding a fake coin, you will be disappointed if that's the case, I have seen other people saying they have a certain coin with great value but when they try to sell the token, they found out that it's not true or it has a different contract address, in other words, they got scam, the bad thing about that is if you bought it, unlike others who do some airdrops.

Thank goodness Bucks won again. Now the series is tied which makes it more entertaining. Kevin Durant will now have to carry the team in his shoulders. https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/kyrie-irving-injury-update-steve-nash-says-nets-crossing-our-fingers-guard-not-out-long-with-ankle-sprain/He was able to get up and walk to the locker room under his own power, but would miss the remainder of the game. The good news is that head coach Steve Nash said Irving's initial X-rays came back negative.
Good news about the negative X-rays results but the mentality will be the issue if he force himself to play the next game. Nets have a good bench team, I say maximize that strength and they may managed to win Game 5. Just when they got Jeff Green back from an injury and played 27 minutes already. Now, another player is listed in injured list. Finally the bucks are clicking in all cylinders, tucker, and Middleton really need to be this aggressive as we know tucker is a lockdown defender, he also learns from D'antoni, Giannis is really unstoppable with that euro step but to be more successful those players should play well to free up Giannis, kyrie injury is a bit scary thank god its not that bad, for sure he will play, the question is can harden play in game 5 because if not, they are in trouble. |
