I follow the NBA only on the sidelines but i what i really like about this league is that teams that were weak last season can be really strong in the next season, which is exciting.  Smiley
Just look at the brooklyn nets. I don't think that they were being called a candidate for the NBA title once in the last 10 seasons, but now they are so strong.
The tables of the european football (soccer) leagues are way more consistent in comparison.

You can make an exemption on the Nets as they have a new starters, they have a big 3 (harden, Durant, and Irving), just like the Suns also, they have Chris Paul so they also improve this season. The only team that does not have a lot of stars and we've seen some improvement this season is the NY Knicks.

And how is it possible that they can afford to hire 3 top guys at once? I thought there are salary caps in the NBA? Have those top guys agreed to earn less in order to be able to win the championship together, like nowitzki did while he was still playing for the mavericks?
Also as far as i know there are not such big transfers between clubs like in european football where one club has to pay 100 Million for a top player as transfer fee.

I think the Carmelo Anthony era really put them in the lower position to attract other star players today, also they don't have a person in the front office to make a pitch to any free-agent, the best chance is to have room and cap to offer to a star players that they can't resist, it been a long time, they don't have get to the finals, hoping it will be sooner.

Sometimes people get caught left-handed, we thought a coin is legit until they run the funds they collected, the best thing to do to avoid this kind of scheme is to look for red flags, ask them something really important, or look for the people behind it, I think you should keep away from projects that are too good to be true if they have promise x100 returns or x1000 that's a sign.
323  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: When I first heard of bitcoin on: March 24, 2021, 12:56:56 AM
Let me share my crypto journey with you it was my second year on campus when my closest friend told me about bitcoin. It sounded so odd to me. He told me it was a digital currency and one of my questions was how would a coin go digital without having a physical symbol. I saw him as someone opened to online scammers I could remember trying to discourage him to withdraw his fiats from such scamming process but he had a very strong believe in the system that he had to buy more coins. This got me so upset because I felt he had been charmed by online fraudsters little did I know he was securing a future for himself and future. Engaging in a process even his decendants wouldn't seize from benefiting. This happened way back (2017).

This was the first time i was having a problem with my friend and the first time we misunderstood ourselves.This was someone i shared everything i had with. At some point we had to pathways because we no longer pursued the same goals and our conversations wasn't the same any more. Each time he came around he was always talking about bitcoin and this got me so upset that I asked him never to pay me a visit again. No knowing I was ignorantly fighting the future currency that would put smiles on many peoples face. In my own ignorance I had to block all means of communication between myself and my friend.

As the years went by bitcoin was tremendously increasing and newer coins were been added to the market but I was still not convinced this was the actual progress we all have longed for. I could remember in 2019 when bitcoin hit almost $10,000. I was astonished but saw it an easy way to make money. I always had the notion that nothing good comes so easy so I sticked to my belief system not knowing I will have questuons to answer from my unborn children when the time comes

Today I will say I regret my actions. Am trying so hard to cover up the leackages and the mistakes I made in the past. Trying hard to studying various coins to see as many I can acquire before I get to 35years of age. I will end with this we can't fight innovations we only adapt to changes


so your friend ends up being a millionaire today, it's okay it is never late to start, the good thing is that you accept the reality and move forward, you will just hurt yourself if you will think about the past, so did you and your friends are okay now? or you went separate ways after that? I hope you make your way to the top, we are here to help if you need advice, feel free to post any questions.
324  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: New to this... What's causing the current selloff? on: March 23, 2021, 06:33:14 AM
That is normal, don't be like others who are not happy with small gains, people are getting their profit that is why the price is going down, so once you see there is already a big margin of profit you should sell too, and try to buy on the lower price not higher the price you sold, so if you see someone is selling lots of tokens, remember they are here to earn, same as every other people in the community.

Andre Paras is a decent player but not a superstar that some are expecting,  his popularity is only brought by being an artist but not because of his skills in Basketball.

I think no one considered him as a superstar and the reason is obvious as he takes showbiz as a priority. They are not expecting him to be like a superstar within just a short timeframe.

He is good at basketball. He doesn't just have time to focus on it but prior to showbiz, basketball is already his passion. Give him time and someday, he will get back again in his shape since no distractions by now. He is the best asset for BW compare to those players that still underperforming today even they are playing for years now in the PBA.

Giving him time and enough exposures with his team now, he have a better chance to improve his skills. It's about how he dedicate and how serious he will, those lapses from showbiz distractions is no longer heavy as the time that he have now for his basketball journey is far better than those earlier years that he didn't focus.


He got the height and he's still young, if there's a will there's a good outcome for his future, The name also serves as advantage.. Roll Eyes Grin
I think the issue is he spends lots of time acting for years and those precious years would have been made him a better player, playing basketball needs practice years of training nonstop, once you have done it for a long time, it will be easy, Kobe Paras has more chance being a superstar status because he is focus on playing and not acting, Andre will be having a hard time making it back to shape for sure.

How ridiculous is it that Blake Griffin hasn’t dunked the ball in over a year, but as soon as his contract gets bought out and he signs with the Nets, his first basket is a driving dunk? It’s like something you’d see scripted in a comedy movie. The players have truly taken control of the NBA.

Probably he is just trying to show that he doesn't like his old team and he is happy to be playing with the Nets. Everyone was so happy with that first dump being a Nets player and though he only scored 2 points, but the impact is already big, the crowd just went crazy.

Blake Griffin Amazes James Harden&Entire Crowd With His First Dunk As A Net!
First dunk and first points as a nets.
That is only a tactic so that the other team would release him pretends to be a burden, once he is hated the team will dispatch him and the nets will sign him, I feel that he cheated on his former team and they don't deserve that because he is being paid, I feel bad for them, I hope he gets the championship because if they don't get it this year I'm pretty sure he will be release after.

bounty is like gambling, sometimes project never reach the launch date because of some reasons, others are launch but then get a dump in the process, i think you should be practical with the bounties if its already profit take it don't wait profit is a profit, waiting for the perfect price will only bring disaster, you can't also predict if the project is legit or not, that is why there is always a risk, that you might be wasting your time doing bounty requirements.
328  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: RX580 and RX590 issue on: March 21, 2021, 05:11:37 AM
I have recently installed an RX580 8GB and RX590 8GB in my PC to use for mining using betterhash. When I start the program I can see the cards seperately but when I start mining the Algorithm will indacte that it has to RX80's as miners. With that issue it brings my hash rate to 12 to 17 MH/s vs the 25 MH/s with just the RX580. What am I doing wrong.

Machine:
MB:ASRock B450M
RAM: 32GB (8GBx4) DDR4 3200
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 @3.4GHz
SSD: 250GB
GPU1: RX580 8GB GDDR5
GPU2: RX590 8GB GDDR5
PSU:EVGA 850Watt
There is no issue with the GPU, you need to configure the bios per card to achieve a higher hash rate for every GPU, and that is a lot of work and dangerous if you don't know how to do it you might miss configure the device and destroy it, by the way, post this one on the mining section so that they will be able to help you more.

Lakers just lost this one to Atlanta Hawks which give them 8-0 since Nate McMillan takes over the head coach position. This time Lebron James hurt himself and out for some uncertainty. Let's hope that was not any serious injury that he can still play this season. If not, then their back-to-back NBA championship dream will be in jeopardy.

It looked seriously. Whenever is someone else included with your ankles is not good. Stepping on someones foot or when your ankle twist and someone pushes you or put additional weight on your ankle when in state of twist. ( LOL i described it so, ...)   I think he will skip few games at least.  
Let's hope it's not that serious, since he still plays before leaving the game, he maybe feel something, and they have to be more cautious with him, to make sure that the injury doe's not ended his season, seing by the replay the force applied on the knee, best is to rest him with Anthony for a week and evaluate the situation.

^^ Definitely, Philly and Bucks will be the biggest test for Nets in the East. Joel playing MVP level (although is he injured), and then the resurgent Bucks with Giannis again playing very good basketball as well.

It's just the spotlight on the big 3 of Nets right now, initially many thought that it won't work with Harden and Irving playing together, but so far they prove as wrong, although their winning streak might be stop today by the Orlando Magic.
I'll take Phili as the biggest threat in the east for the nets, if Joel will be 100% healthy until playoffs this be for sure it will give trouble for the nets, we see how they push the raptors, without the lucky bounce by Leonard they would have been in the finals, and I think they have now more experience on how to handle and play in pressure, embid will be hard to stop underneath Jordan can't handle embid for sure.
331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will ADA and eth competitors get dumped if/when Ethereum 2.0 comes out? on: March 20, 2021, 01:56:37 AM
Or will they remain stable at least?

I think I like ADA anything better than what Eth can bring out. However I hold both. I started out with more eth but have just been stacking ADA because I like staking it for passive income.

You guys have any thoughts on this?
A good investment is a win-win situation for you since, they are both competing, there is a good chance they will try to make improvements, to become better, and its good news for those who hold both coins, right now Cardano is making improvements while Eth is also trying to launch Eth 2.0, with the gas fee making it hard for ethereum community Cardano has the upper hand.

Winning the title already an achivement but if he also win the coach of the year award  that's really something every
new and old coaches desires.

Too early though to talk about that even they are performing and making history for the franchise by now, but there are many things
to consider since it's still the first round.

Hopefully they'll maintain this winning form upto the second round or if fate declare them to the finals then so be it. Wink


That's just an individual appreciation if Steve will win something as coach of the year and that means that he's the best for this season. That's it, they have to maintain what they've shown well for this early of the season. If they have shown great performances for the past matches, they only have to become consistent on it. Early to talk about championships or not, we fans usually talk about it even before the season starts.
Winning the title this year is above 50% for the nets, in my opinion, if those three players are healthy in the playoffs there will be no doubt they can be in the east finals, I'm just concern for kyrie, he has a history of getting hurt every playoff, when he's in the Cavs uniform, every year, I hope he will not be in another playoff resting, in the bench.
333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 19, 2021, 08:13:18 AM
For awhile we should also talk about how great the coaching staff of the Nets, Harden is not this good when he was still playing with the Rockets while Steve Nash just unleash his true potential so Harden has become a better version though he already played as an MVP caliber.
It's overall praise including them. No one gets left behind when a whole team is being praised. And when it's about the talks for the MVP, that's when fans are going to be divided with our thoughts.  Tongue


It's just amazing to witness if Nets will win the NBA championship and Steve Nash will get his first award which is the coach of the year, that is gonna be a big achievement for him because he never experience a championship when he was still a player but getting a championship win as a coach and coach of the year, that is so fulfilling.

Yep, not a player but with being a coach, must be fulfilling if Nash and Nets will win the NBA championship for this year. During his prime he is one of the best, specially when he was with Phoenix, those games against Kobe and the Lakers are still in my memory. Kobe dunking him, arms extended.

His chances are high that Nets with the 3 superstars will go to the finals, perhaps Bucks and Philly are going to be the 'thorn', so to speak.

Nash even joined Kobe in the Lakers hoping they can win a championship but it's not really his fate but good thing he didn't give up in basketball and he became a head coach. IIRC, he will be like Steve Kerr that won the coach of the year during his first season as a head coach of the Warriors, the only difference is Steve Kerr won a championship when he was still a player of the Bulls.
Yes great achievement nash almost have a ring in phoenix if not, with the controversy with the spurs and officiating when he had suffered a broken nose and bleeding in the court, that would be great but I think he has now the opportunity, te be called as champion if they will defeat the west contender in the finals, because east is just too easy for them at the moment.

It's been years now for pi and there is still no clear path for the project, it just runs on the mobile phone and mines pi, who knows what the software is mining, they might harvesting information already we don't know, it's a bit weird that over the years there is no announcement whether it will be launch and there is no price, I'm also one of many who install the app, I have mine decent amount but until now, I don't see any actions from the team, or big announcement only the community are making speculations.
335  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: insane fees on eth (uniswap) on: March 18, 2021, 08:21:16 AM
This is why lots of projects are transferring to BSC, imagine you will buy worth 30 USD coin, and the fee is double the amount you will buy, won't you be disappointed? or selling, also the transfer fee is so high, unlike last year if this won't be fixed there will be less project launch in erc20 and lots for BSC, but I'm sure they have already had or created a fix for the issue, but until then, lots of people in the community are not happy about it.
336  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BALANCE - Estimated value on: March 18, 2021, 03:42:50 AM
I'm a bit confused with your question but like others said its an estimated value and it changes every time, also some coins when you check in your wallet has value, but you can't sell it because of few reasons like its an old coin, or a fake token, this thing might happen to you, and that might be the reason why there is an estimated value but you can't swap trade or sell the coin, make sure your coin is also in the correct chain, maybe you miss something like swap to a new coin also. I hope this one helps you, if you are still confused don't hesitate to ask questions good luck!

Lebron performance is not 100% Lebron has the habit of not forcing the issue, if necessary, LeBron mode in regular and playoffs is different, that is why i have no worries, Anthony Davis is still resting the only team that can compete with them is Clippers and the nets I think if they can dispatch the Clippers the only team stopping them to win another crown is the nets, it will be an epic battle.
338  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trading Or Invest ? on: March 17, 2021, 01:52:44 PM
the best choice on your belief that it would be better to take your investment or trade but for me both are very appropriate at this time, but in investing you only choose an altcoin and sell it when the price is up which is sure you will also make a profit while trading flatly you have to spare some free time a little bit to analyze altcoins and see when the right time is for you to sell, that's a glimpse but the options you have to consider
I agree, investing and trading will help you a lot, I did this both and I have good result, you just need to research particularly with the project and token you want to jump in, that is very important, because without doing it, you will be prone to scam, and loses in trading, try to join a group which are experience traders and investors and tries to learn their ways.
339  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Are there any risks with staking 1inch tokens? on: March 17, 2021, 04:48:07 AM
The risk I see when staking is that when you stake the coins and the price goes wild from example 1 USD to 100 USD you can't automatically unstake the token, since there are rules that you need to stake it for 1-6 months or 15 days, same when the price goes down, that is the risk that I think you need to consider when staking, but the risk is always there to all of the crypto coins, we can't deny it.

Will the Boston Celtics will this or Jazz will continue their domination?
Hate to make out some comparison basing up on rankings but 5th rank on East against 1st or top on West then its most likely or no doubt that Jazz could pull it off.

Basing on Last 10 games where Celtics made out 6-4 and Jazz is on 5-5.I don't see for them to make some upset but lets see on what would happen.
jazz will likely take away this one, they are a force now in the west I just hope that they continue those runs, because the last time they did the same they lost in the playoffs in the first round a few years back, I just hope that someone gets to the top, I don't like the same team fighting for the finals, it's just predictable and boring.
