Can the SMB be able to come back in the 4th quarter?
This is the opposite of what happened in game 1, it's now the Bay Area Dragons who are dictating the game, so let's see if SMB will be able to turn things around in the last quarter of the game. It's a must-win for them as they can't go down 2-0 as that would look like they'll be eliminated early or even be swept.
unfortunately, they weren't able to come back. I wasn't expecting the result of this game, I thought it was a close game and SMB will try to even the series, but look at what happened? once again Bay Area Dragons showed their dominance on PBA teams, and that's SMB, one of the best teams in the PBA. I think it's not necessary for Powell to come back as Nicholson is very well fitted to the team. 114-95, it's a big win by Bay Dragons, and they have Nicholson who scored 34 while SMB's import only made 14 points from 6/15 shooting. Actually I'll loss that game because I bet on SMB but very unlucky and Bay area Dragon win. We are the same mate as you said I thought that SMB will even the series but the opposite is what we saw last hour, maybe their strategy is not enough to beat Bay Area Dragon cause they are very tough team. Even though they change their import but still they are unstoppable right now and how much more if Powell will came back and play in Bay area Dragons. In next game maybe SMB team will have a good play and make the match as close as they can . It would be okay if SMB at least make the game interesting. Unfortunately, it was only a once sided beatdown as SMB was unable to match the intensity of Bay Area. I guess this series is already over, I don't expect that SMB will come back to win the series when they don't have a quality import. |

As far as All Star, Wiggins was voted last year and proved himself. Probably if there is one person that need to step up, it should be Klay Thompson.
So far, his performance is not yet impressive though he has some impressive games, I mean the consistency is very important and so far KT does not have that consistency yet. Maybe on a 3 point shooting contest, he can comeback and try to win another trophy. He came from a serious injury, no need to rush things, and besides, Klay is also not getting any younger, he can still be a great shooter but they'll never be as good as he was before. So the question is, is he still worth a huge contract? My answer is no, but a decent contract would do, Warriors should not forget that they will not win without Klay Thompson's big contribution in the playoffs and in the championships. |

I don't think it's a trap, Memphis is on a 6 win streak already. So as respect, they are the slight favorite here.
I guess Bucks are a good pick as Giannis are slowing coming back to his normal.
Oh, so maybe it's a good thing to risk for the Bucks. I'll take the ML. Jrue is out, I will trust Middleton and Giannis to up their game. Taking the bucks wasn't a good idea though, they experience their biggest loss this season and I can't believe it happened to a team that has won previously a championship. Giannis was very limited this game, and overall they are also outrebounded by the Memphis Grizz. Bad night for the Bucks, Giannis is unable to provide the lift the needs from him while with Memphis everything seems right everyone are doing their share both offense and defense. Not good for the Bucks, but still they have good spot number in the east while Memphis is now the top seeded from the West. Congrats to all who win the game today, to all those who lose, there are many games to analyze tomorrow, best of luck! Giannis still needs more games to bring back his old MVP form. I guess betting on his team will likely bring us more L than W, so maybe let's wait a bit until the time will come that the Bucks will become consistent in winning and Giannis will average his usual stats. |

After several years, it seems like the eastern conference will finally take winningest team this season. There is no sign of stopping on the Boston Celtics and the Milwaukee Bucks. Although the west have New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies, the streaks of these young teams will end soon.
We love to see the Eastern conference team win it this season, maybe 60++ games win for this two team and maybe there will be another 2 teams in that same level or at least 50+ wins. Winning 60+ games will be very challenging these days when most of the teams are competitive. The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics though if they can continue their winning ratios might achieve it but it won't be easy and they might relax their main stars in the season's last remaining games, especially if a specific spot is already guaranteed. Another thing is the new rules where ranked 7 and 8 are still in fear of not qualifying in the playoffs since ranked 9 and 10 are also given the chance to vie for a spot, which makes the NBA more competitive too. Yeah, it might be difficult to get 60+ games winning, but the Phoenix Suns did it a couple of seasons or just last season if I'm not mistaken. But still though they always fell short in the playoff, so it's not a guarantee for any team to win 60+ and goes into the finals. The Warriors didn't get 60+ wins last season and they are 3rd behind Phoenix and Memphis for the best record in the West. And as you have said, many teams have upgraded their roster, owners spending tons of money to have a good team. It's very unpredictable, even if a particular team will get 60+ wins this season does not guarantee they'll win the NBA championship. It's still the experience that matters in the playoffs. Maybe, for now, it's the Celtics who are the best team, but if the Warriors start getting their rhythm back, they are still a dangerous team due to their numerous championship experience, and of course, they have won championships. |

Anyway, we have 4 games later.
I like Milwaukee but the spreads seem wrong. Grizzlies being the favorite means something, a trap. Jrue or Middleton? Those players might not play this game. But I saw Giannis in player props so I think he will be there.
I don't think it's a trap, Memphis is on a 6 win streak already. So as respect, they are the slight favorite here. I guess Bucks are a good pick as Giannis are slowing coming back to his normal. Home game for Utah against New Orleans again. I doubt the Pelicans will let them win twice. Please don't.
Pelicans -3.5
Pelicans could think of beating the Jazz but Jazz would let that happen. I mean, Jazz know how to beat them as they are already up 2-0 this season, so I'll stick with the trend. By the way, Clarkson does not even have a good game last game, so I think if he will have a great game, their chance of winning will increase more. |

I see so it's like a simulation for Garcia and can prepare for Tank's strategy. He should just get someone to simulate Tank or Gesta as a sparring partner if this is how he'd come up with a plan. It could be compromised if Gesta acts differently in the ring. Garcia would really be a laughing stock if he is beaten by this unknown fighter that seems to have a good record in his early days.
Not only in the sparring session, but in this real fight. So for sure Garcia will take advantage of this, he will be fighting a very durable Pinoy that can emulate the style of Tank Davis. So he should take it seriously, fight is just next month, only like 4 weeks to prepare or more but he will be peaking around that time in January against Gesta. And I see Tank has a bigger opponent in Hector Garcia in my opinion. But it doesn't change the fact that they still need to win their respective fight in January first. Exactly, they don't want to ruined that chance to fight against each other, so they'll need to beat their respective opponent. It's a good tuneup fight for Garcia as he would fight an aggressive fighter which has a similar style of Tank Davis. Garcia has the power and speed, I'm not sure if Gesta will survive a 12 rounds fight if he wants some kind of war in this fight. |

What is happening with the Phoenix Suns? they already lose 5 straight... This team is not legit, they'll never win a championship because of their inconsistency. Rockets are enjoying beating CP3, that's coming from his old team.  They missed the service of Booker, once he comes back, he will be able to help his team. Though they are still a playoff team, but as we can see, their struggle is real, just like the Warriors in the early stage. Anyway, it's still too early though, they'll sure bounce back with some win streak soon. Also, another great performer was the Utah Jazz as Markkanen's return sparked a big win.
Yes, they beat the hot team, the number 1 team in the West, very impressive. |

Both martingale and martingale strategy doesn't work if you want to make money from gambling, every slots has a house edge, if you're trying to beat the house edge, there's no way except you're find the vulnerability and hack the system. But it's an illegal act and you would go to jail, there's a big risk for doing this. Actually you need to know if gambling is for fun, you wouldn't make money from gambling if you're playing slots.
Any strategy won't work if you are betting on a gambling platform with a huge house edge. That's why I choose sports betting because I believe there's no house edge if you will just bet on odds +100 and above. It's still gambling, and we know bookies make money from juices, and for me, I want to be an exemption, so they'll not get a juice with my winnings. About martingale or anti-martingale strategy, I would not use that anymore, why? because it would easily frustrate me especially if I'm on a losing streak. |

I had seen nearly 70 percentage of the forum people votes for the Tank Davis as compared to the the Ryan. Ryan had pool only 5% of the total votes, So the chance of Ryan was very low compared to the Tank. May weather will be the best promotor of this match. The player had made the announcement on the Instagram accounts. So it means they are ready to the matches. Hope we had good entertainment during 2023.
There are only a few voters so the advantage is not that huge. I voted for Ryan Garcia, which makes it 62.5% for Davis or 5/8. Anyway, it's not a big deal, the final pulse of this fight is based on the betting odds, and it's very obvious that Tank Davis is the favorite, just a slight favorite, so nothing to worry about. By the way, even if Tank Davis will win this fight, I still believe that it will not be easy for Tank Davis, he will have to work hard to get this big win. This is probably the biggest fight of his career, so he is preparing for this fight with a tuneup fight before this big event. |

^I’m glad the Pelicans just spammed the Suns again. Hometown team or not, I can’t hope for a team to win if I don’t respect their players. Glad Chris Paul got hammered all game and Zion smashed everyone. It needed to happen. The Suns are way too high off their Finals appearance still. They’re acting like they’ve won multiple championships or something. I’m ready to blow up this roster and give the team to Ayton.
Hahaha..They beat the Suns two in a row, and that's because they can't stop Zion. This team is legit, they are at the number 1 spot now, and they deserve respect so I don't know if the Suns have a shot of beating them once they'll face off in the playoffs. No Ingram, no problem. To be fair, Booker did not play so.... still the Pelicans are the better team. Zion has taken it personally, it will be fun once the playoffs come. I'm pretty sure that the Pelicans will be able to make it to the playoffs as long as Zion stays healthy, and from now on, I think betting on the Pelicans is the best idea, I mean they are the hottest team in the West, so no way I would bet against them. |

My pick for tonight.
Houston Rockets vs Milwaukee Bucks (-8.5) = Milwaukee Bucks Win 1,72 Odds
Good luck guys.
Sorry mate seems like the Rockets are just good at upsetting good teams. That was easy to look but things are very unpredictable against this team lately. I do believe in the talent of the Rockets but I wasn't tempted to bet on them because it's Bucks, so I still don't win. |

Well Zion make it personal now, and moving forward, not sure if there is a still schedule between the two teams.....
You don't need to wait long, they will have a game later. The game is too early in our time zone, so I think I will not be able to watch this game. If you are looking to bet, here's the betting odds. https://duelbits.com/sportsbook/editorial/NBA |

Manny though seems to forget that he is on some exhibition because there are moments that he wanted to KO DK Yoo, LOL.
But yes, referee not counting the knock down and pretty much save DK Yoo. But as far as Manny going back to pro? for me he doesn't look even in an exhibition match although this is contested in 160 lbs if I'm not mistaken that's why Manny looks big around the belly, his age is really caught up with him in this sports. The likes of Spence or Crawford will be too much for the aging Legendary boxer so it's better to just stick with exhibition moving forward.
We really missed him fighting like how he used to be but that's just the way it is when athletes get old, no matter how great they were in their prime, they cannot be the same when their body doesn't respond like how it was. a further example is Michael Jordan when he was playing for the Wizards. Manny seems not really used to fighting like this but he was really good when he can control himself and not hurt his opponent to the point they need to rush him to the hospital after taking his aggressive power punch if ever. I'm sure they were brief on the limitations of the fight considering it's just an exhibition fight, the most important is we saw how Manny can still fight and I believe he can still be up with more exhibition fights. For a good purpose, Manny will donate the proceeds of the fight, probably a portion of it but that's enough already on how he will continue to convince himself to still continue to fight. Admit it guys, he will not anymore go back to professional fights because he already found a way to still continue his passion and at the same time make some millions. |

My first prediction was Inoue to win 1-3 rounds, but looking at the odds now, it disappointed me a bit. So now I'm switching to Inoue to win via decision as I believe Butler will not go toe to toe against Inoue knowing how dangerous his punches are, at 11.00, it's very interesting and I'm just hoping that Inoue will also not so aggressive in this fight.

@jakelyson, Celtics broke your parlay, sorry about that.
2/2 for my early bets and I took one more for the Warriors at live betting. Lucky to win it, Klay was hot, Curry was hot too, and Tatum was off night.
Congrats to all the winners.
The story of my life the whole week. Always 2/3 the whole week with my parlay. It is a string of losses already, hoping my luck will turn next week or I'll have to play it safe and avoid parlay for a while, what do you think? Congratulation to your win. Warriors now have slowly going back to their championship form, and look at Thompson, he is going back to his prime again. Curry will remain consistent, but seeing KT and Poole putting in great numbers, will put the Warriors back to the number 1 team again although they are still not in the actual ranking. I would have picked the Celtics to win too, but I'm just lucky I didn't pull the trigger. KT with 34 points, that's big. |

Although comparing the overall player ratings between the Dragons and ROS, the distance is really that gap in favor of the Dragons. ROS doesn't really stand a chance against them but it's a good experience for them to face such a monster team in the quarterfinals.
Not much of an experience though since it is only 1 game. I believe they are already eliminated since the Dragons have a twice-to-beat advantage. They had already faced before the elimination, and the outcome was still the same. In short, they have not learned from their experience, or maybe the Dragons are just too good for the ROS, this team have to evaluate their roster and make a huge improvement next season. They don't have the talent to match with the visiting team, the same outcome from the last game that they've got during elimination. RoS can't stand the heavy dominance of Bay Area, I'm excited now since SMB is one game away to move forward and they will be facing the visiting team, with Fajardo and Romeo and the rest of talents of SMB for sure it won't be a blowout for the visiting team. They are against the defending champ and knowing how the team plays together, they are classified as a powerhouse team in this league. Though before they can move forward, SMB still needs another win against the young but impressive Converge, unpredictable but the bookies give SMB as heavy favorite here. That's going to be an exciting match up, with Fajardo slowly going back to his normal form, I think it will not be easy for the visiting team to beat the SMB team. Plus, if they will survive against SMB, for sure they will face the Ginebra Gin Kings, the team that beat them with a huge margin. |

Ganda ng laro Bucks vs Dallas, sayang lang effort ng Dallas, wala sila finishing kaya nanalo ang Bucks. Kung titingnan mo advantage talaga ang Dallas sa mga dying seconds, pero yung alley op shot ni Lopez, yun ang nagpapabago ng laro.
Saka, take note natin to, 3 FT miss sunod sunod ang ginawa ni Hardaway, sayang din yun.

There are really just people who do make up some talks whether its scripted or intended or really that natural on them.For mayweather then you can hate him with those
shit talks but he could really be able to justify out and you cant really be able to hate him much because he's still undefeated.
Mayweather is just different, or should I say an exemption because he is very good as a boxer? He retires once, comeback and finally retired as undefeated. And now, he is still making huge money with his exhibition fights, I would say that he is really good at marketing, he understands well that boxing is just business, so he played his game well. |

They have the reigning MVP and now have the second and third option for the team. But it's going to be a very competitive West, lots of good team obviously so we will see if the Nuggets can at least go the finals with their solid lineup.
That's a huge improvement for the Nuggets, I see that they aren't dominating now but slowly they'll show their consistency. Having Murray who is a clutch player is such a relief for the team as they'll be unpredictable in the playoffs. Murray and Jokic as their leaders, would already make a team better, look what they've done with the Blazers in their previous game, looks like they still owned the Blazers. |
