They will be in the playoffs but honestly it's a different story when they are in the playoffs. This team's lack of defense is not something I admire during the playoffs as we know how physical the game in the playoffs. They need to improve their defense first as that's their weakness based on my observation.

I like the ball movement, they are like a young Warriors, but the Warriors are a team who have a balance offense and defense.
Your observation is interesting!
I confess that I was happy with the performance of the Kings this season, and consequently their participation in the playoffs this season.
They will be moving to the next round but the real competition is just started after the elimination, they will be tested if how
far the offense and defense cna bring them a win.
Quote
As usual, I always talk to my friends, the playoffs are the place that separates the men from the children.
The playoffs are very competitive, and a very important factor is the experience that some players need to perform satisfactorily in the playoffs.
Good point, it's a seperation between experienced squad agaisnt the non-experienced, it will be a good testing ground for them.

Quote
As it has been years since the Kings reach playoffs, I speculate that they will lose quickly during the first rounds, defense, experience are one of the important factors to stand out the playoffs.

Hopefuly they wil manage to adjust and win some games or even excite the fans to push the series to a do-or-die game.

I think that even on the past, a stable and high paying jobs are already rare to find and in case you came across one, it will still be hard to apply on them due the benefits that entails on them. But we don't really need one. What important for now is to have any job which makes you some $$$. It must be enough to keep yourself alive.

If it pays less then you should learn how to budget or try to add another one (side hustle). That should make you feel better now. Saving must be practiced so that when unexpected events happen like a loss of job, you will still have something to get while you currently hunt for another job replacement.

You need to learn how to adjust especially if you are saving some portions of your salaries, it will give you good backup funds in case emergency take place in the future.

Like you mentioned, high paying job means lots of competitions and it's not easy to acquire
you need to have huge knowledge about the job before you can land yourself in.

Sacramento Kings versus Philadelphia 76ers happening live.
The 76ers are underdogs without James Harden and Joel Embiid. This could get easy for the Kings with Sabonis and Fox to take the win so I am betting for them at -4.5 @1.85.

I was also in the impression that it can be an easy win for the Kings but shit happen as the second squad of Sixers played well
and didn't give it up and complete the win against them..

Quote
Adding Phoenix Suns -1.5 @1.75 at halftime.
Although Phoenix Suns are undermanned without Booker, CP3, and Johnson, the Pacers are also struggling to find their offensive guy without Tyrese Haliburton.

Lukcy you with this bet, 2 point deficit after 1st half, enough to cover your handicap.

Nt a break even since the odd is not x2 but good enough to have another shot tomorrow.. Good Luck!

I really think that is not a slim chance for them to get Bronny James and for the 1st pick to be Bronny James, I really think that Lebron James for them is a big cash cow get for their corporation, there are a lot of advertisers that want Lebron James and sponsors that are backing the name Lebron James and right now Lebron James is currently playing like his prime years, considering his games he is pretty much doing great right now, so I really think the Lakers will consider Bronny James as a great asset aswell,
Well, this is a topic I've been researching for a few days... Which LJ team will retire and which team will Bronny be drafted?

I have no doubt, LeBron James is an extremely valuable player, not only for his quality as a player, but as a well-respected and well-known name today.

I could be talking some nonsense, but I don't know, it's been a while since I've noticed that LJ is unhappy with the Lakers. I believe this could be due to the team's poor performance over the last few seasons, injured AD, lack of Lakers chemistry/teamwork among other factors.
Even though he performed so good in almost every game, I don't see him happy as he was with the Cavs or the Heat, I believe that maybe he could be focusing on some personal things or other business.

Taking advantage of the topic of this conversation... do you believe that LJ can terminate the contract and go to other teams? for example, Cavs?
I don't know, if they renewed LeBron James's contract, possibly the Lakers will do everything to create a super team to next season

I mean, LeBron is no longer in his prime and if he will demand that Lakers will take advantage of any team who will ask for LeBron's trade, we know the value and what are the risk behind of landing him.

For business side, the team who will acquire him will gain good numbers of fans to support tickets and PPV
but long-term wise, I'm not sure if that's a good idea though we can't tell what might be his future decisions.
845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 21, 2023, 08:23:05 AM
You are not wrong, especially yesterday.  Cheesy
I am with the Jazz and the Nuggets here, not just because of homecourt advantage but Nuggets had been on a great streak and I don't think it's the Indiana Pacers who can stop it. Just waiting if they can cover the spread but upon watching it looks like they will.

Utah Jazz on the other hand seems to have a difficult time putting a distance against the Brooklyn Nets. Kyrie is doing all the dirty work.

Look, unfortunately (or fortunately lol) I didn't place any bets on this round.

Well, unforeseen things happen, and in fact that's what happened with the Jazz vs Nets game.
I confess I wasn't expecting this result... But Kyrie Irving was on fire, and practically carried the Nets to victory!

Talking about Nuggets x Pacers game, it happened as expected, an expressive victory for Denver. I would also like to share the excellent performance that the Nuggets had in the 3 point shoot (50% accuracy), it was a very good performance!

Jazz has been outperformed by the Nets, it's an overall performances lead by Kyrie. I also didn't expect that since Jazz is really hot playing at home and with the past performances of Nets.

Kyrie got awaken by the negative social media attacks I guess and now he's doing his stuff
and playing against the public, he surprised those bettors who bet against them. Congrats
to those who bet for them.

Ethereum Shocks the World: Half a Million Validators and Rising, Is Ethereum the Next Crypto King Or BTC?

No, I don't really think this could surprise the people around. ETH has already been known in the market by its price and position, and those numbers couldn't change anything. This coin will remain following Bitcoin and being in the 2nd position is already good enough to think about the potential it has in the crypto world. People are happy about what happened, the transition is also showing good, the developer has no ambition to make his project become number but instead of maintaining its position as #2.

It will remain on the 2nd spot, Bitcoin will continue to be the number 1 but still that's an opinion since there's none of us who can really tell what future will be and how the market will surprise us.

For now, there's no huge movement with ETH and it is still in the 2nd spot right after BTC
if something huge may happen the reflect will still be at Bitcoin first before it will hit the entire market.
847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 21, 2023, 05:24:28 AM

We still don't know where his son is going to play, what the rumor that we have been hearing and it seems to be true, that Lebron is going to play still and wait for his son to be drafted in the NBA so that they can make another record of father and son.

And who knows, maybe his son will be traded to the Lakers just to make his wishes come true.

There are a lot of scenarios right now, but we will have to wait. First Lebron will have to break Abdul-Jabbar's record this season, that's his motivation for sure.

He keeps doing well and I think to secure breaking that record, the team needs to extend their chance for the next round. If they will be eliminated, it might pause for a while.

Almost and if they will make it to the play in or if they will get that chance to play in the playoff
he will be able to break that record this season. We really can't accurately predict his next journey
and what he will bring to his fans.
848  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde on: January 20, 2023, 11:14:51 PM
And it could he could larger and boost his psychology that he can defeat him because the fight is going to be in his country, so he has what we call homecourt advantage but not sure if this is true in boxing. So yeah, we will see if he has what it takes, I mean accepting it shows that he has big balls already, but facing him in the ring could be different for Yarde when he taste the first punch of Beterbiev.

Homecourt advantage, so is the home crowd, might really be an advantage but that was all useless if a boxer is really up against a tough opponent.

Artur Beterbiev is not new to pressure and seems won't really be affected much fighting against a crowd.

Yarde on the other hand should take advantage of any advantages in this fight. A boost of morale because of the crowd is a big help but that is nothing if he can't perform well in the actual fight.

A fist to fist confrontations can't be boosted by anything if you are not prepared with your opponent's attack. Maybe the cheers will add something to your morale, but facing a tough opponent needs more good preparations.

Like what you said, Beterbiev is not new to this and he can dominate if Yarde will give him a chance,
it's better for Yarde to read well with how Beterbiev will do his combinations and avoid being box
it will be safer for him to make some distance while trying to read Beterbiev's strategy to avoid being
caught unguarded.
849  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 20, 2023, 10:56:09 PM
He is wise indeed! But I'm really curious if the Los Angeles Lakers will be the end of his road and will be the team to officially retire his jersey because at the back of my mind, I'm also thinking that he might choose to retire with the Cleveland Cavaliers, where his home team is and where he get drafted. Anyway, we still have a few more years to enjoy LeBron James greatness, so let's cherish it while he's still active and hopefully he can add one more ring.
I confess that this is one of the questions I would most like to know, this can even be considered a mystery lol

What I and some friends of mine speculate is that LeBron James will return to the Cavaliers, Bronny will be drafted to the Cavs and for the first time in NBA history, son and father will play together on the same team.
And after that feat happens, LeBron James will retire for the Cavs.

I know that LJ's contentment in the Lakers is not the best, including the bad performance of the team, I have no doubt that this could be a factor for him to leave the Lakers soon, now, if the chemistry between the players improves, AD is 100% healthy, and Wesbrook's performance improves, I believe LJ will be able to stay longer in LAL.

Of course, everything I've said is mere speculation on my part, but I have no doubt that it could happen....

On both sides, the chances are possible LeBron can part ways with the Lakers and choose to play with the Cavs if that's the destination of his son's Bronny, that is another record that will be added under his name.

But knowing the capabilities of Lakers, if ever that the chemistry will be converted to more winning
streak after AD's comeback, LeBron can extend his stay and let the Lakers draft his son and play together
under the same jersey.
850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: January 20, 2023, 10:06:42 PM
The Crawford thing is a matter of time, he is a boxer who has known how to be patient, I don't think he will despair, Spence has to do something, I already believe that the enthusiasm of this meeting has diminished thanks to his negativity.

Might be best for now to forget about the Crawford-Spence fight because the chances of happening the said bout is getting slimmer and slimmer as months and days goes by. Spence and Al Haymon is getting very unpredictable these days, all silent about their move and stuff and boom, the whole world is suddenly surprised because they made another circus in the industry with of course the blessing of the corrupt governing bodies.

it will happen once they made it happen, so for now we should be focusing to upcoming fight and forget about another possible fight to come. The negotiation will take place if they are interested and willing to bring the fight inside the ring.

I see exactly what you are pointing, the corrupt people inside the organization are always
involve on how promoters are able to avoid big fights without the blessing of those people
behind doesn't have any option but to comply with the rules.
851  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading as a newbie? on: January 20, 2023, 09:50:52 PM
Because newbie who don't know about trade if he wants to learn trade with big money then he will lose all his money. Newbie who want to learn trade in first stage advice from those who have good knowledge about trade.  He should start trading in the first position. If he trades like this for a few days, he will gradually have a good knowledge about the trade, after which he will be able to trade alone when he understands.
Indeed. Newbies must focus on learning, their main goal is to get enough knowledge and experience. Newbies must avoid prioritizing profits in the early of their trading journey. If they focus on profits, they can't focus on learning and they may end up with huge losses. Newbies also don't use big money in early trading, just use small money to avoid big losses. They can use a bigger amount of money when they already have enough knowledge and experience. At least, it should take for a few months to have sufficient knowledge and experience.



It's better to use small amount of starting capital, amount that you can afford to lose when you are starting in this business, it's true that the value of learning is more important when you are a beginner.

It's tough to use huge amount and mistakenly position your trade as the chance of losing is very possible
at the beginning, unlike when you already gained knowledge that you can use, the chance of making decent
amount of profits is very possible.

The last statement will work, for those who can adopt the market and have that chance to learn more about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency investing is a good opportunity to grow that money.

But, if you don't have that time then go with conserving that money and try to do some little
investment while the major portion of your save money can be stored in the bank for emergency
needs.
But even if someone understands investing about Bitcoin and even though they are professional traders, when they have retired from their main job, they prioritize emergency needs funds rather than investments because they need these funds for treatment and it is very detrimental to cut losses from crypto investments for future medical needs, anyone will prioritize health conditions so it should be from the start to allocate funds for emergency needs without disrupting funds from crypto investments.
When saving up for your health then it should have been done earlier or into those years when you are just working or still earning from your main job.Its true that on the time that these people do make out retirement then they would really be putting up focus on saving up themselves for their health in case of emergencies.Its not bad to make your crypto investment to be at affected because not all would really be that not much serious or really sticking out for long term.We do all know that we do really make out an investment for some sole purpose and if your purpose would be basing up or focusing up on health
then its your choice on when you would be pulling it all off.Its your money and its your right on when and where you would be focusing yourself and its up to our choice.

It's a choice that you need to be wise, saving and having a good amount of funds for your retirement will help in terms of financial capabilities. Either investing or saving the intention is always depending on you.

People who work well managing their savings and aiming to invest to grow their investment
are people who can gain enjoyable retirement in the future.
853  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to profit from altcoins collapses? on: January 19, 2023, 01:28:01 PM
Is it possible to profit from collapses of altcoins? Do you have any ideas how to?
On the opposite my strategy is to cash out when it's on the rising phase under temporary bull period because once these altcoins start collapsing the recovery chances are very low and loss chance is high as they have nothing to offer.But there are people who will say short it or invest in huge margins to have more them at dips so when price rise little you take out profits but for me I don't risk in them too much.

It's very tough, and the risk is high if you will short while it is still in bear season, though like what you mentioned there are people who can
take some profits while doing this strategy.

They are those who have that big nerve to take the risk. They observe and monitor how
the market is behaving and in a timely manner they will place position to buy and quickly sell.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: January 19, 2023, 08:06:20 AM
I thought that the Lakers will going to Win but they fall short in the last quarter, I remembered that they almost surpass and lead the scoring board. Lebron managed to get 30 pts again but it is not enough to beat the Sacramento Kings. Lakers are now in the 13th Spot while the sacramento is in 3rd Spot. Their Lineup is pretty good in this season and they have a good chemistry.

Grizzlies Managed to get the W against the Cleveland Cavaliers, It's their 11th straight Win Shocked Ja Moranta got 24 points in this Game.

Lakers are unable to snatch the win from the Kings, almost but the good rotation of kings players manages to keep them away from the attempt of lakers rally.

Another great production from LeBron, but a single player can't no longer lift the entire
team with the opponent with all are eager to beat you. Better luck next time for those
who take the risk for Lakers.
855  Economy / Economics / Re: Use your money wisely. Invest or Deposit ? on: January 19, 2023, 06:26:38 AM
The $100,000 is already in my account, since the money has been deposited how much interest rate has been given? If the question is meant for oldling days people then they can keep the money in the bank account and getting the 3% interest rate but if it is for this new technological digital economics generation, I don't think they would keep that amount in the bank the matter what.

Since the money is for reserve, it is better you keep in bitcoin wallet for a long time. Just use it to buy BTC and keep it there instead of keeping it in the Fiat banks that they would even deduct it every week and monthly.
I agree, for those people that are already in retirement age and they're too old to work then they can't put that into that much risk and just go with the conversative deposits and investments just like putting it on the bank.
If the person is too old and understands bitcoin then that's a plus to that person but if not, it's better to just be conversative and sensitive with that money and save a lot but invest a little that's not too hurting if it losses.

The last statement will work, for those who can adopt the market and have that chance to learn more about Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency investing is a good opportunity to grow that money.

Yes it does. To ensure that, one can do side gigs irl or on sites like fivver, participate in bounties here, start a blog or a YouTube channel, learn investing.

There are many ways but above are some off the top of my head.

And as far as I know there are really people who making good money using those platforms to make some good profits, those who are willing to explore and take chances.

Side jobs gives you additional profits which you can use as capital if you are planning to invest or to do
some business, your regular job will support your need and your side job or extra sidelines will finance
you on your next journey for financila freedom.
857  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: January 18, 2023, 07:22:24 PM
Not the first time that we have seen this kind of spectacular dunk by Ja Morant though, and maybe last season he was also tested by the NBA and all is clean. So we shouldn't be surprised if players are tested and pass because some of them are gifted athletically like Morant or even the Giannis.

And he is still in his prime though, so no question about it.

Well if he is like in his 30's and not in his top shape then suddenly dunking again, that will raise an alarm. But right now, it's normal, just like what we have seen in Vince Carter when he was in his prime.
Alot of eyes on Morant based on his high class performance in the court, dunking is considered a top level skill that worth more than a point. Temetrius Jamel is a top professional basketball player with amazing trophies added to his name. He's just 24 years with top talents in his court. So amazing to see him play with his trained skills. Everything required time and consistency in games, Ja Morant can be compared to Giannis, Lebron in NBA interms of a slam dunk. He falled into the big name category and got countless number of fans supporting him.

He added excitement with those in your face dunks and acrobatic shots, a combined AI and DRose to me, if he will be able to maintain and he won't get any major injuries, he can still be capable of upgrading his own statue.

Still young and very aggressive, he's really gaining fans with the way he's playing the game
no longer surprise with why he's been tested, something with the level of his performance
but he keeps getting negative..
858  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How to profit from altcoins collapses? on: January 18, 2023, 11:26:49 AM
In summary: I haven't found any viable strategy to profit from altcoins collapses except avoiding them. Not sure how about the strategy of competing with an own altcoin which attracts suckers from other ones (for example BNB currently, FTT in the past).
The only thing that you can do right now with the altcoin collapse is to buy them while they are cheap? We are not talking about meme and shitcoin, but solid coins like BNB that you mentioned.

I mean our strategy should also satisfy another condition, that is to buy them right now and then hold or at least wait for the next bull run.

20224-2025 is the most likely year that we will see another explosive growth, so you need to have a lot of patience to be a long term holder, at least a year or two.

Going to depend on your better understanding of certain assets to hold, the way to earn is when you fully equip yourself with good knowledge about the project.

The temporary collapse gives you that opportunity to buy and hold, as most of those solid supporters
will continue to buy during the dip and will going to wait for another good momentum before selling
it with their target value.

860  Economy / Economics / Re: Does a side job/business improve your finanical stability ? on: January 18, 2023, 08:56:10 AM

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 ?
Side jobs are always an edge to make ends meet more possible and to gain financial stability, especially in the present economic situation wherein everyone is struggling with money. So we need not to focus only on a single job but learn to embrace more jobs as long as you can manage your time, and you have the capabilities and skills to work on it. While most of the people are facing financial struggles, some wise men too are embracing a lot of opportunities to earn and gain outside their main job. Its more on a matter of proper time management.

Learning to maximize both time and skills will create you a good perception in finding the right side job or extra income aside from your current day job.

If you are keen in learning and you are good at adjusting yourself, it will provide stability in terms of financial
aspects, if you have a good mindsets and you are keen to learn more and to achieve more, financial needs
can be covered and you will be able to have a better financial resources.
