I believe that the Heat will bounce back in Game 5 and if Herro will still be out on their next game, they must utilize Robinson more at least in this series because he really is a good 3 point-shooter. The only problem with him is his defense, but his offense can cover it up (I think).
They benched him for that reason. Defense. Spoelstra will be gambling in Game 5 if he will make most of his plays for Robinson. That will be wild and it will raise a lot of questions if it fails.
Let's just hope Jimmy and Tyler will be in their best condition at home.
Just bad game for the Heat in game 4, just imagine with 6 minutes left, they only scored 1 point, from FT and can't buy a basket and then finished the quarter with just 11 points.

And then White scoring the first 7 points for the Celtics and that's what they just needed, take that early lead and increased in and never give the chance to the Heat to make a comeback. So now it's time to see what the Heat is made of in game 5.
Bad game + good defense of the Celtics are the key ingredients for that win.
White is a good player, I don't why they have used them for only 14 minutes in Game 3. He is one of the core of SAS before and I think he will be helpful as a back up point to call their plays.

In my case, I plant because I love it.
I have tomatoes, lime, chili, and more small plants in my front yard but it's not for selling but for consumption whenever we need it. Yeah, most of them are plants who bear fruits and vegetables not designs like flowers. There are times neighbors visits and ask for some of it and I won't be selfish to give them especially if it ain't that much.
It saves us a lot of money in a manner but we don't really count them. It's just like a hobby that was stuck in me, I don't really know why.

Al Horford played the defense. Wow. 4 Blocks. Stopping the Miami Heat to get the 3rd win and a chance to advance quickly in the Finals by ending it in their homecourt. This is a possible Game 7 from now on. I had been looking down at the Celtics team after I saw them defeated even with Marcus Smart around and Al Horford. Now I am admiring their will to win.
But Game 5 will be the crucial moment for them. If ever the Miami Heat shows weakness (Butler injury) then they should take advantage of it for a chance to end it at home.

@pooya, thank you. I strongly agree with your opinion there.
But it seems inevitable as traditions cannot be erased easily like how Thanos snapped his fingers. They will keep on using other markets to connect it with the Bitcoin movement even if there is really none.
I see this daily in streaming application where they even try to explain it thoroughly as if they want to make sense out of it but at the end of the day, there's really nothing.
Sadly, they have many followers who might do it and that is why a connection will be seen.

Golden State is done, the series is not likely to return anymore. The series returning from 3-0 didn't happen in history. Dallas had a slight chance, but they failed. They started the game with a very bad shot. Three-pointers were always inaccurate. At the end of the game, they seemed to catch up, but when Poole made the final three, it was over. Doncic, you're going to be a great player, but you need a better rotation to come along. He couldn't carry any more on his own.
You mean Mavericks is done. Yep, that might be the case. I don't see any room for an adjustment anymore. They keep on changing the way the ball rotates but the result is always the same. Or maybe there's one more. Powell and and Kleber playing at the same time. Did Jason Kidd ever tried that?
Control the paint with big men and high flyers and try to foul out Draymond as early as possible and also Andrew Wiggins. That's all their winning chance because Wiggins had been extraordinary at defending Doncic, it could be a change to free him and go monster.
886  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should LTC return as a silver to BTC and being ranked in the top 5?? on: May 23, 2022, 02:59:38 PM
No, I don't think so. Also sold my LTC like a over a year ago.
There's no turning back now, we have seen new projects and learned more how crypto could be so stretchable in different fields.
I'd invest in blockchain or exchange, a little old but it's still in the trend.
But if you want to be in the real brand new things, the gaming industry could be a good investment. With the mountain of gamers now it will be easy to pump it as long as it's a good game.
887  Economy / Economics / Re: What can an average JOE do to face the global food crisis? on: May 23, 2022, 06:57:39 AM
A change in lifestyle would be the better cure.
If before you eat chips while watching a movie or Netflix at home then try just drinking water. Lots of it.  Cheesy
I am the one buying groceries for the family and of course I know the prices of everything. From cooking oil (20% up) to biscuits and snacks for the kids, every price is written in my memory and I can feel how sudden the price changes are.
Not wasting food also saves you some money and whatever can be repaired should be done so to avoid buying something new.
We will be going back old school.
888  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 22, 2022, 06:11:56 PM
I followed where my heart is but only in cheering them. Cheesy I haven't made a bet because there was no sure commitment on both Kyle Lowry and P.J. Tucker to play. And Boston Celtics was playing at home.

It was indeed a great game. Unbelievable. I thought the Heat are losing after that wild Celtics rally with a very very loud Boston crowd. In the end Miami Heat won without their main guy. I think Erik Spoelstra is one of the best if not the best coach at the moment. Looking at his line up compared to other teams. And he managed to top the East. And thru the years, Miami Heat is always in the playoffs contending with star-studded teams. 
I think that's good enough. Cheering for a team is what they got them going. Fan base.
The game 3 made me realize something. The Miami Heat where just shocked with the change of roster by the Boston Celtics. Suddenly in Game 2 they had  Marcus Smart and Big Al and they played well.
But now I see they are still a mismatch for them. First, deep bench. They may end up losing 1 more but they can adjust pretty well and now they have the upper hand again. So, it might go Game 6 or 7 but if the Heat just keeps on adjusting they will win the series.
889  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoin calls on: May 22, 2022, 04:42:47 PM
Wait. What is "calls"? Am I that old?  Cheesy
This is a new term for me and I didn't even see one reply who tried to explain what are they.
Is this really "it"?
No need to pay for any signals. No one can judge 100% correct. You can also learn chart and use RSI. There are some coin which are so volatile and very good for day trading . You can use these coins for day trading but it's better to learn charts reading before trading. Loka token is best for day trading and you will find it very volatile and can make daily profit.
Signals? Why not just blatantly say it? Is it because of the bad reputation of the word "signal"? Well, it doesn't really work, that's why.
If it's signals then you might just want to make your own because most of them are for personal profits. You cannot rely on such a thing. We could create a group that sells the same program but there no telling how high the accuracy is. Probably 50-50 or less.

Strongly agree. There's so many things happening in the world right now even with the pandemic slowly being controlled.
Economy will surely react to it as our governments spent too much money just to keep it under control. We are not even in the phase of recovery, we are paying the debts and this will last long.
I think this is also why we won't see a higher demand in the months to come. Prices of necessities are going high and small investors need money so they will withdrew their assets and a part of it is Bitcoin. I won't expect another big pump in the next months to come or even before the year ends.
891  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 22, 2022, 07:40:11 AM
My heart is like rooting for Miami but my head is picking Boston. Head to head I believe Boston is the better team. And they are enjoying a homecourt lead now after managing to take game 2.
Did you follow your heart? Because if you did then you are a winner today.
No Butler in the 2nd half and that is why the Celtics made a run to get close with the lead. It even went to a point with just 1 point deficit and the Celtics fans are getting louder.
Max Strus though shut them up with a dagger of three pointer. He surely stepped up his game with 4/7 at 3-pt line and including Adebayo who punished the Celtics in the paint. Impressive adjustment from the Miami coaching staff.
892  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NFT and photographers on: May 21, 2022, 05:15:33 PM
But what majority of the NFT markers do - they buy their own NFT twice or thrice to show some transactions around their NFT so that it can generate some interest.
Whoa! I didn't know that! That's a good strategy that I never heard. Make it look valuable because someone is buying and selling it back and create your own demand. Slick! It could work.
Just to add for OP, you may also want to check the photographs being sold first to have a good idea of how it goes. You may try unique but there must be a more appealing photo and you need to try and look at the market on which are in demand. Good luck.
893  Economy / Economics / Re: Constant defamation of crypto on: May 21, 2022, 02:42:33 PM
Probably because they haven't discovered yet on how they could corrupt the crypto industry. They don't know much about it because most who are in government are either stuck on traditional things (fiat) or they are too old to study about it.
Then, there's the constant news about crypto scammers that had made it look more bad. Where do we get our news now? The internet, social media, and vlogs. That is also where cryptocurrencies live. Imagine that.
894  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 21, 2022, 05:27:48 AM
Luka and Brunson got it going but it surely wasnt enough to match the star power of Curry, Thompson, Green and Looney stepping up for both games. While the bench playing crucial role as well, with Otto Porter and Wiggins and Poole all getting double digit scores at times where Curry was rested and offense was lacking.
I really thought that was it, time for the Mavericks to win the game. Their first half was better and it's going at their own pace while the Warriors are just hanging there. But that second half made a huge difference. I admire the Warriors bench for doing such a good job. They didn't just prevent the Mavs to score while their starters are resting, they stepped it up one more notch and gave them the lead.
You can see how an experienced team work it out when they are down. The defense was pure and in a higher level.
895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics) on: May 20, 2022, 06:33:17 PM
Looks like the Heat need these 2 things.
1. A second or third player that can help Butler offensively.
2. Kyle Lowry

I don't know if Kyle Lowry will play this post-season, so if somebody knows it, then they can share it here. Overall, the Heat's performance isn't that bad in Game 2, but the Celtics had a better offense than them thus, they lost. The three point shooting of Celtics is one of the reason why they won. In Game 1, they only shot 11/34, but in Game 2 they shot 20/40. Another one is the return of Smart and Horford, and we know how impactful they are defensively.

I'll go with Celtics in 7 here. I believe that they are a team that is good defensively, and at the same time, good offensively as well.
Indeed they need Lowry because they won't let Tyler Herro do the playmaking. Why? He is young and doesn't have enough playoff experience unlike Lowry with a championship ring. Butler is not that type and we saw how bad he is when he tries to pass the ball. Gabe Vincent is also not their choice.
If Lowry won't play though there might be another solution. Do isolation plays but it needs to be perfect. Herro and Butler are good at it but their problem will be double-team if the Celtics caught what they are trying to do.
The other strategy I could think of is go small ball. They cannot maximize the strength of Adebayo because there is no one to pass it in so better take him out.
896  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Luna classic after the fork on: May 20, 2022, 01:06:56 PM
Yes. But I doubt it will work out fine just because they are aiming for a fork and being a new coin. If you are thinking about buying it then I suggest you wait. It's not that I am not giving them a chance but once trust is broken then it will not be easy to invite new investors.
Perhaps, creating a fresh start will be better. Take out the Luna name and make something new. Although they worked hard for that name to be known the stain will not be gone for a year or more. The internet will not erase that kind of bad history.
897  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 20, 2022, 11:29:16 AM
I was wrong thinking Miami Heat will have a 2-0 before Game 3. My guess is, that the Heat and Celtics will take their respective home advantage then they will meet at Game 5 with a 2-2 series then that's the time we will have a headache on what team has the upper edge.

The Boston Celtics take that Game 1 loss as a lesson and look at what they did, defeating Miami Heat by a large margin right at their home court. The Celtics will be back at their home and maybe can get a 3-1 lead before returning to the Miami Heat arena.
I am on the same boat of thoughts there. I didn't realize the two missing piece of the Boston Celtics could be that big of an impact.
I said last time it will be a close game if they were there, but the results today wasn't even close. It's a blowout game and Miami Heat cannot find an answer for them. I didn't even see a long good run, most of the time the Celtics will answer back if ever they will make a short run.
Tatum being a run stopper is a big key for them to win it. Star players should handle that type of role and he didn't let them down.
898  Economy / Speculation / Re: Sideways huh! on: May 20, 2022, 08:17:50 AM
That may be the best term for it. Just sideways.  Cheesy
Good opportunity for short-term traders, make money in a day run or even just in minutes. Yesterday, May 19, Bitcoin was at $28k which and now at $30k which means a 2k difference which is a good profit already in just hours of waiting.
IMO, this is the same as what happened before, I think BTC was at $3k and stayed there for a long time. December of 2018 to March of 2019. Next, will be another pump in my prediction, sadly I don't know when.
899  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Best Proposal for LUNA on: May 19, 2022, 04:28:28 PM
With a broken trust? Nah, even with the best proposal given it will unlikely lift up. That is a thing in investing in cryptocurrencies or even with other assets.
Once you fail, it's difficult to return in your once upon a time greatest achievement.
Old investors of LUNA will surely look for an opportunity to sell off their remaining coins that was stuck in the middle of everything that happened. They trusted it could pump back but it didn't and it may not ever. They want something in the space of what they invested, not another dimension.
In short, they want their money back.
As an investor, I don't like buying stuff where old investors are lurking in the shadows ready to sell anytime.
900  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 NBA Season on: May 19, 2022, 03:12:27 PM
It could've been a close game if the Mavericks are making their shots. Most of them are not a good throw even if they are free. Either they are forcing it or they are nervous facing the champions. If they will manage to break that curse then we will see a better Game 2.
We saw how they did against the Suns on Game 7, every throw is full of confidence and I am waiting for Finney Smith to make it. 5 points is not what I expected and he didn't shoot the ball much outside. Hesitations will not help.
