The Nets are now number 4 in the East. Just like that. Another example of a strong 2nd unit that beat the Pacers yesterday without Kyrie, KD, and Ben.

That's an impressive performance for the 2nd unit of Nets. They are really proving that they are competitive and they did it in a surprising way, teamwork and trust each other.

It's good to see a team who wins without relying on their superstars, as you mentioned your
what if, for the Lakers, getting that point, they should play the system together and start
doing it as early as now. They are all pro and deserve to play with decent minutes.

Risk is there no matter what we choose to do. Even in employment, the pandemic just proved that, and the same with those companies that are near where war is happening.

Indeed, risk is everywhere and we really can't assume the secureness of our job and any business around.

You just can't be sure about anything right now and that's why you have to choose properly if you want to get employed in a company, and you should have no regrets about doing it.

Good decision making for sure will allow you to survive, with good judegment you'll be picking the right one that's fits to your needs.

Love to work for that company and you're liking the job that you have and that's why you're applying hard.

You said it right. Your desire and intensions to land that dream job.

But still remember that there's no permanent on it whether they call you regular, they can always do a lay off.

That's reality which we cannot deny, even how hard you do the chance of being lay off can happen to you.

Keep AD healthy, that is their key to win every game. Rest him if they think their opponent can be handled by the other players.
Make him the VIP of the team as it is a fact that he is the only one who could bring them more wins than any players. Yes, that includes Lebron and Westbrook.

Yes, they should at least give Davis some rest if they will be facing a much easier opponent or an opponent that they seem they can defeat without getting Davis plenty minutes. The other guys could handle that kind of scenario given that Westbrook is also getting a hold of his new role and LeBron is still remarkable contributing decent numbers per game, and well, they also got Walker and Reaves for that job.

The last two names stated needs a lot more exposures so that they will be much more reliable when the game becomes more intense before the qualifiers, they are good now but the team needed an improvement because time will come that Davis and Lebron's numbers won't guarantee to keep them afloat.

Good point in terms of giving Walker and Reaves that exposure. They needed to feel that pressure as early as now to make them ready if ever that they move up to the next round.

Davis, if he can get that rest, is also good. They have Bryant to take care of the boards. They just need to give
him that minutes and let him touch the ball, he can contribute if Lakers will also let him play to give
more minutes for Davis to rest.
984  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cock fight game on: December 11, 2022, 08:33:01 PM
Some countries in Asia playing animals games examples of it are Horses, spiders, and a very popular is cockfighting. And one of those country is My country which is even the government cannot stop this kind of habit even though the government prohibited this kind of gambling but still people won't stop especially in cockfighting. Even me before I handle 65 cock for fight but then when I realized that I am not doing good for the animals then I'll stop and focus on other games.
It is very difficult for those who do not have the will to change. I think many rely on cockfighting to make money. Even though it is prohibited by the government and religion. I think it's quite difficult to avoid this culture. It will always appear plus if law enforcement there also protects this gambling. This seems to be happening in my country. So gamblers comfortably continue to act.

Seeing the same, in the place where i live, government officials are also participating, especially those police who love this gambling. Gamblers are free to play since they are heavily protected.

I don't see changes since there are places that it's not prohibited and there are occasions that
this gambling is always presence.

You will see a lot of people who either have their own rosters or are just betting and looking for
some luck to win a decent amount of money.

The ease of applying for an online application makes anyone will try new things that are getting a job that suits his dreams, I also often submit applications and sometimes I also follow the next stage such as interviews and so on, sometimes looking for the best is our hope.
It's hard to apply nowadays if you're just on your own, you haven't built connections and networks and this is a problem for those loners. But still, talent and skill beat that.
The situation that everyone got in had put pressure and uncertainty that this world, we don't know what may happen next and if the worst is yet to come. The same for employment we'd really never know if the company where you're staying it might be bankrupt soon or have a %+ YTD.

It is a risk but it can be worth to take, there are different opinions regarding an online application though taking the risk may change your life since there are many successful stories that you will hear about it.

Same with your opinions regarding to no assurance. Even the company you are into for a
long time can guarantee that they will stay at positive, especially now that the economy is
still in its surviving stage. A case to case and with different outcomes.
986  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The patience to hold is a gift on: December 11, 2022, 01:16:29 PM
True, most of the time this is not an innate skill but one that we learn through experience, however many people lose too much money before they learn how to hold their coins and this causes the effectivity of this strategy to go down as their capital is much lower than when they began their journey, so it is important to learn how to manage our money as well so when we suffer those losses which eventually develop our ability to hold our coins we do not lose too much money in this process.

growing from a hard fall experienced, most of the time traders learn after that past mistakes, mismanage finances and most of all fear with the market downfall.

But once you realize and understand how the market works and how you will be able to make
good money from the volatile market, things will suddenly change, and with the experienced
you gain, balance and proper management of your initial capital, gives you a decent outcome.
987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Downfall still possible? on: December 10, 2022, 08:29:53 PM
Everyone should expect that next year we still be going on a bearish sentiments so expect the market to really fall.

This year alone lots had happen, like the Terra Luna and the FTX collapse that we never thought would happen. And it really had a drastic effect on the market price, some of the coins are into -90% downfall already and still counting.

So just take advantage of it, you believed that a certain project will be big in the future? then this is the right time to invest, in the bear market.

I support you with your statement, if you believe that the project will bounce back, then better to buy now while the value still at cheap, better to take advantage and hold.

Though, you really need to budget your money since the market is unstable and even you think
the market is already on its bottom. Chances that it will fall for more are always possible, make a good
research and take that risk for being extra patience to wait for the bull come back and bring the market
back at top.
988  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why everybody is panicking ? Its a game of greed and fear ! on: December 10, 2022, 10:38:05 AM
Every market have a bear and bull cycle but crypto field is a young market and highly volatile with large institutes / whales investment  and We know trading is a competition then if you sell your crypto in lose it only your fault, So learn the chart history the dump is not happening first time , Take a lot of knowledge and experience that in future is there any situation about to happen you already have an exit plan .
And when the projection of the value of the crypto you hold is at loss then that's paper loss, you'll totally loss if you started selling it.

It's normal to see people react in panic because I've been there too. I don't think that it will be better before when I've started to understand of how this market is highly volatile.

After all of those years of learning, I've started to realize that whoever gets to panic sold at losses will not win due to the emotion but still can recover.

Recover when you realized that you are making a big mistake in following the market downfall, though like what you have said, we came from that situation where fears really affect our investment.

When you see the market suffering with heavy downfall, the chance that you will sell thinking that avoiding
to lose a lot is practical than holding and letting go the whole amount of your investment.

That's a loss and regret will follow once the market start to pump back and recovers.

Big win by the Bucks, although Giannis was fouled out late in the 4th quarter but his teammates were able to do the unfinished job for him. Their defense is the key to the win, and Dallas lots of turnovers and miss FT's cost them this game. It was an entertaining game to watch overall, hopefully Dallas will learn more how to play better in clutch times.
Something that coach Kidd need to address inside the dugout, they blew that double digit lead after the 3rd quarter. What a play for Lopez. Not sure why they forget about him.

I mean, he's the tallest guy for the Bucks and giving him space close to the basket is an easy basket
for him, a perfect execution from Holiday seeing that the defense collapse inside and Lopez take that
opportunity real quick to snatch the win in front of the Mavs fans.

It's like a skill which everyone can master with the experience, no matter you invested big or small there will be returns accordingly.
A skills that you can enhance every time you enter the market and aim for the betterment of your result, something that you alone can decide and explain if how you see your opportunities.

For me it comes after lots of life lessons like many failure in both investment and business sector so everyone will have their lesson in their own way.
I get that point and it's true, from those collective outcome you will learn and understand how to deal with it next time,

991  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Polygon (MATIC) to $20? on: December 09, 2022, 05:18:42 PM
Long journey to be able to see the price of MATIC can reach $ 20, currently the price is around 90 cents and is a good start for investing in MATIC, I am optimistic that MATIC will continue to rise and maybe be able to follow the previous 2 coins namely ETH and BNB.
Yeah right, because matic's ath is only 2 dollars+ and I think matic is not a new coin so maybe this was it's only potential. Anyway, it is still fine to invest on this coin because its value is still dump and once it returns to its previous ath, we can still be able to earn decently. For sure it will since matic isn't just a normal coin but it was among the top coin.

Eth and bnb are unfortunately still bigger than in matic so I do not think matic can be on their levels but there are other top coins out there which are can possibly be bypassed by matic. I guess that is already enough for those matic supporters to be proud of their coin and they shouldn't expect more.

Still far from ETH and BNB who are already established and become big, but likewise, still have a good potential since the value of Matic
still far from the last time ATH and if you are aiming for profits, this project is still one of those good picks.

You'll be luckier if the pump will reach $20. Maybe there are still investors who will keep and
hold till it being reached but in most cases, traders are satisfied with what they've got, as long as
it's green from their initial then it's good to go.
992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Naoya Inoue vs Paul Butler - Undisputed Bantamweight Bout - December 13 on: December 09, 2022, 02:01:02 PM

In any case for this fight, Butler need not to trash talk in my opinion. He just need to bring his A game and show respect, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of Inoue. Just maybe to motivate himself in this fight.

Just bring everything and try to defend the title that he is holding right now, no need to do the trash as fans are aiming to see Inoue inside the ring, they expecting a lot from him and looking forward not to be disappointed.

Ticket sales can be carried by Inoue, no offense with Butler's fans, but the majority are looking forward
for Inoue to win these fights, upset will be a surprising outcome if things favored Butler's side.
993  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do? on: December 09, 2022, 01:38:09 PM
Though, if you are really that kind and you are willing to let go the other half just for the sake
of friendship, then so be it. Your take and how you handle if the situation comes up will be defined
from how you will solve the issue.
The final option is to forgive him because he can do nothing but regret his actions, I'm not the type to hold grudges but I'm just judging some of the posts above based on a real life perspective that it's hard for someone to forgive if your friend caused you to lose $350k in gambling. That's why I don't involve friends in gambling unless I just take some advice.

Yeah, because for sure, for others that's already a fortune, $350K is not something that you can easily forget unless you are such
a Billionaire or you really gambled with a friend like him.

Not to justify but like you, it's tough to forget that amount and you will keep dwelling on that
particular loss and always reminds you that one time in your life you lose a huge amount of
money because of your friends' mistake.

Just read though about the incident about the Jazz Clarkson and Warriors Kuminga?

Jordan Clarkson was just frustrated because he got block, he fouled Kuminga but it was a hard foul, not a normal foul anymore that' why he got a flagrant foul 2. But the there's still a good news, Jazz won the game by one point, they steal it from the Warriors.  Grin

here's the video of the incident.

Jordan Clarkson ejected with Flagrant 2 foul on Jonathan Kuminga | NBA on ESPN

I don't know why I find it funny when I saw Jordan Clarkson so fired up when Kuminga didn't accept his apologies and pushed him, so fired up that he was really ready to exchange fist with Kuminga Grin It was supposed to be a normal foul, I don't know what went wrong when they had the altercation.

Anyway, the Jazz defeated the Warriors and it was just a 1 point game. The Warriors 2nd unit almost had it on the remaining seconds but a turnover happened.

It was an ordinary foul without any intention of hurting Kuminga. Whatever angle you will look at it playing a replay you will
see that he just holds Kuminga as normal, since warriors are leading, he just wanted to stop the clock in fouling Kuminga.

Not sure what triggered him and why he become aggravated might some exchange trash from Kuminga
that heat him up. So soft for the refs giving him flagrant foul 2, maybe it's because of the extra action that
he did pushing the ref to go and confront Kuminga.. Roll Eyes
995  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do? on: December 08, 2022, 03:47:45 PM
but if he really can't give me half back, I'll take it a step further to give up my $350k for friendship. ruining friendships over money while gambling is really bad for me.
Noted, I appreciate you if this case happened in the real world because giving up a loss of $ 350k is very ironic but if the loss is only $ 350 it doesn't matter to me, but holding him responsible for his mistakes does not include destroying friendship, but he must be responsible for what he did and although in the end it may only be necessary that half of the losses have to be paid.

Not sure about this if things really happen in real life, that's a huge amount of money and most of the time friendship or good relationship
can be ruined by this huge amount of money.

Though, if you are really that kind and you are willing to let go the other half just for the sake
of friendship, then so be it. Your take and how you handle if the situation comes up will be defined
from how you will solve the issue.
996  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: December 08, 2022, 03:21:10 PM
Yes, another star or core player that is versatile enough to know which area needed more focus to help the team achieve a victory in almost every game and can match Luka's energy so that he end up carrying the team especially when it comes to intense games. Just like Giannis who have Middleton and Curry who have Thompson. Honestly, that's what they've been lacking and if they can fill up that spot, I bet they can reach farther than what they reached last season.

Luka is still very young and has not yet reached his full potential. There is time for the Mavs to surround him with the supporting cast that he needs to push the team to a championship. Dirk took almost all his career before he became a champion, and it is worth the wait. Luka hopefully will not wait that long before the Mavs figure out the team they need to win. They should have learned now how to support their stars. They at least have 5 years to work it out with Doncic. It is either they develop their young, new recruit or acquire through trades, but they should not waste the opportunity they have with Luka.

What a big loss it could be if the Mavs will end up losing Luka in the future. Although it is hard to imagine knowing Mark Cuban is not just a team owner but a huge NBA fan and it is also early to speculate.

There was a time when Mavs brought in Kristaps Porzingis. It didn't work and the guy is too injury-prone. For now, the Mavs is pretty sure watching for their next potential target. I also believe that the Mavs can do better if Luka has reliable teammates he can lean on if he is having a bad night.

Yes, someone that he can depend when he had an off-night, it's understandable that even you are the best player there's some night that you are not performing that well, and Luka needs someone who can help him.

Additional star who can work side by side with Luka and help him in
developing the entire core, Mark Cuban needs to bring him additional
teammates who can add up to spice the whole Mavs and bring them back
to a title competition. No offense to the current lineup, but Mavs needs
additional star/s.
997  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: newbie invest on: December 08, 2022, 03:08:22 PM
Bnb is the best coin for investment.

Right. Indeed, BNB is one of the best altcoins to make as a more profitable investment because its price has soared to the point where it scored ATH levels last year. Even BNB is worth buying for both long and short-term investments. Moreover, BNB has experienced a positive trend over the past year.

If you know how to patiently wait, BNB is one of those good assets that can give you decent benefits, It's tough to predict the market
but as long as you have patience the chance is always possible.

Keep in mind that choosing project always depends from how you understand and how you work
with all your research.

Invest where your knowledge is attach, remember that it's your money that you are risking so
better to work with your learning before taking your step.
998  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The patience to hold is a gift on: December 07, 2022, 12:55:16 PM
It's obvious you are not an investor, and mind you, patience to hold might be a gift, but it does not guarantee success. What guarantees success in an investment is the ability to speculate rightly at any point in time, and this speculation might even advise you to liquidate your investment at any time to avoid the coming catastrophe. See, 'it's good to attack and retreat in every war,' this is wisdom which is important to replicate in crypto investment.

That said, investors should define the longevity of their investment, it might be short, medium or long-term, but it doesn't matter, yet speculation is still important to be a guide. This indicates that it's not necessary to be an excessive holder of any asset, including crypto, it only has to do with the investors' goal and the plan to realize the goal.

Conclusively, a good investor should be dynamic in decision-making and act based on the current market reality not minding the ROI to avoid making mistakes.
Precisely, winning success is not just holding but also having good decision-making which most of us have made it too difficult. Like if we are just holding shitcoin, for sure, nothing really good to happen in the end, and makes no sense. Though we can say that holding has some good benefits, however, this will also rely upon on the situation and the coins we hold. Because if we are very certain about holding that it will give us more profit then we gonna expect that everyone will do the same as well. But they never found it working, that's why.

Success is always rely on how you win each trade and how you manage your losses as well. I like both the argument with decision making as it is really the benefiting factor when investing.

Patience is a key, but timing will drive you to make good winning trade, adoption and know how to
adjust to each situation.

It's not easy, but you can make things happen when you already understand everything that around
the business that you are in, balance and good management of both time and money when placing
your investment.

Luka has nothing to prove just to get the attention because he is already a star player and the best candidate for MVP this season. As an individual player, Luka is at the top 3, but he needs to win a championship first in order to be lined with the greats in NBA.

I see Luka is making a great adjustment, his teammates are getting better now and that resulted in a better team.

Luka this game against the Nuggets does not score so high, but look at the other factors, he still tallies a very impressive triple double. (10 rebounds, 12 assists, and 22 points)

I think you don't need to be a champion in the past just to win the MVP award because Jokic has never been a champion and he won the MVP award in 2 consecutive years. Luka needs to win more games in an outstanding performance and exceed his past records as well and score more points to be able to climb up and stay in the number 1 ranking for MVP. He has been playing very well since the start of the season and only in this game today did he score less than 30 points for their win.

Same with WB and Harden, they didn't win a title but a regular season MVP. Luka is not far from winning that MVP award/s he just needs to keep improving and have more winning games with outstanding performances.

I like the way he played the game and no doubt the young star is really doing everything for the
fans, his skill sets are extraordinary, just need more help as basketball is a team effort even you
are the best player if you don't have the right pieces inside your squad, winning a title will still
be far from you.

For now, let's wait for the result of this match that's already predictable by 99.9%.
We already know who might win in their upcoming fight but let's see if Butler prepared a hidden strategy that can beat the monster.

At least give Butler 1% chance of winning as a sign of respect, saying 99.9% chance for Inoue, that only gives Butler 0.01% chance. I know upset happens in boxing, but just like guys, I don't see it happening because Inoue are just too good for Butler.

So you are saying that I'm disrespecting Butler? Wake up mate, we are just stating facts here.

Not because I'm not giving any chance for Butler to win, it does mean that I'm not respecting him.

Ok, I will give Butler a 1% chance to win so that you will see me respecting him. Cheesy
@1.02 Inoue vs @13.00 Butler.
I think that tells it. Even bookies think it will be a miracle if Butler wins this match. No disrespect for Butler here. Another sad fact is they are just giving away @1.06 if Inoue knocks him down.  Cheesy That's just a 0.04 difference.
It's not even profitable for a low-end gambler like me.
Maybe if I could just guess what round it will end then I can make some money on this match. No friends are also willing to take Butler's side so it leaves us the only choice of enjoying the fight.

Such odd is not worthy to risk your money unless you really have a huge amount to bet with Inoue's ML and if he will KO butler, nothing for a small-time gambler but to enjoy watching.

Though I'm sure there are bettors who will try some luck and bet with what round Butler
will be KO and who knows, maybe luck will permit them. Then they will surely enjoy the
profits are surely better than the amount with the ML.
