Old man James with a triple double tonight against the Golden State Warriors to help his Lakers pull out the win. It’s funny that people are talking about Steph coming to the Lakers now... Personally I think that’s crazy talk and he’ll retire with Golden State, but even the great Kobe Bryant once requested a trade so you never know...
First time to hear that talk from the other fans. I've never thought that Steph would do such a desperate move. He has his own home and I think that he'll not go to another team as he has achieved a lot with GSW.
I also think that until his retirement, he'll remain in the dub nation.

That would never happen in my opinion because this guy has their own commitment to their team just like the other players in the past. Stephen Curry is currently on the list of NBA players who have spent their entire career with one franchise. I doubt that he will throw such a title just for money. He has a chance to be next to Dirk Nowitski if he stays on GSW or even becomes the top 1 if he successfully stays there longer than the others on the list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NBA_players_who_have_spent_their_entire_career_with_one_franchise
We're all uniting in the opinion that he won't do that. If he wants to get another record and that is for staying into one team where he started and where he's going to retire.
Don't forget about the Kobe, he also holds that record.
I think it's already the trend like before if the team decided to release you or trade you, you have no choice besides, its still money, and if the team wants you out in exchange for a younger player, I don't think you will have a choice regarding that, Steph might be retiring in one jersey unless if at the end of the contract other team will offer a bigger one, i think he will leave, as we know money talks.

So  we are still in All Filipino Cup? I thought the last time was still a Filipino Cup.. well, if that's what it is then I guess it would be more fun and the depending champion here is still the Ginebra San Miguel.

I think Ginebra will reign if Fajardo will not be fully healthy in the coming season.

What do you think about the chance of the SMB?
AFAIK, there are two cups this time. Philippine's Cup and Governor's Cup.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_PBA_season)
And for the chance of SMB, I think most of them have chance but it's just that Ginebra is still the favor of the crowd.

No doubt that they are the heavy favorite (BGSM) after the last bubble where we see a well balance team, and with CStan to help them defending the ring.

Though we also hear good news from other teams, a very good test for each teams to comes up and show how this long vacation
and the changes of the current settings develops much better blends from each franchise.

BGSM is one of the famous crowd favorite, let see how they'll going to face bigger challenge from their sister company(SMB)
no doubt that they are the favorite to win, with another addition, it's like going to begins every final, why are they keep adding star players, while the other teams are a bunch of bench players, the commissioner should not be allowed it, an imbalance is not good in sports, sister company or not they should not pick all the star players and put it on one team, the league will be like philippine genebra association.

Lympo is under a big company Animoca which I think is connected to NBA Cards collection Topshot and other games, which are really popular, having said that they also make the website which is lots of people are excited since animoca acquired lympo, lots of people are saying lympo will be the next flow, which is currently connected with top shot and dapper, I'm excited what are they going to do.

I see a lot of future for Wiseman, he just needs more experience to see it.
That's for sure but I doubt if he can grab that ROTY award as I see it will be for Ball or for Edwards this season though the list of the favorite wasn't that far in terms of stats. He can dominate the paint and far more than that he has shooting advantage as I see him like an Anthony Davis caliber in the long run.
In terms of consistency, I think Ball will win the ROTY award, I guess there are betting odds available now already and I believe Ball is the heavy favorites. Good thing with Ball is his team is in the playoff standing, currently at number 6 now so he really has an impact to the team.

True Ball has being consistent, he deserves the ROTY.
I also agree ...
Lamelo Ball is standing out from the crowd, and I was also very surprised by his performance, he is playing well and he is being consistent in the games ... I think he wins the ROTY award!!
When he enter the league I thought he will be like his brother, seems to me he is more atheletic, and is showing leadership in the floor, he is a star, though its to early to say that but he is showing signs to be a great player, in the future, leading ROY is a great start, if jordan can lure 2 star player i think they have a chance to compete in the finals if.

Ball has a higher chance to get that title everyone talks about him he can also shoot some threes with no problem. Their team is also competing to keep their spot in the NBA playoffs. This will be something huge if he gets their team into the NBA Finals. Just like what happened in the NBA finals last year When Jimmy and his teammates beat the expected teams to get to the finals last year. They can do it too if they show some miracles in the NBA playoffs games.

I didn't expect that Hornets will gain a playoff spot this season honestly, but here they are, with the help of Ball even as a rookie, they have already reach the .500 ranking. We also have to consider the help of Hayward as he proved that the injury he suffered before is not a big hindrance for him to help his team.

Actually lots of role players helping the team to be successful and everyone seems happy when they are playing, it's just a different team when Walker left the team.
Big difference when your star player is more of a scorer than a playmaker, during walker time he is racking up points every game, while with the new star a rookie, he is distributing the ball to his teammates, which give them a high percentage, to score give teammates confidence and believe themselves, that is what driving this team to win games.

Why people would waste time investing in a project with an undesirable name, they would think its just a scam project, it's like creating your own business you will think of a name that will catch the attention of other people so that you will have lots of customers, so that is why the name is very important, especially to investors,
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 14, 2021, 02:29:50 AM

I hope that this time that there will be less injury on their team. Many are eyeing for their team to get into the finals and that's what makes everyone interested about them.

Especially Griffin, his main reason why he signed with the Nets is to be in the Championship and to win. His playoffs experience could contribute to this team, he maybe not part of the starting line up but he will surely get good minutes if he will have a great performance in the playoffs.

These are all stars players, they are not just big 3, they now can call themselves as big 4.

Imagine these players lead their team in the early stage of their career.

1- Irving (Cavaliers)
2-Durant (OKC)
3- Harden ( Rockets)
4-Griffin (Clippers)
Uhm, yeah.
They're now the big 4 and it's really an explosive roster that has been brought to us by the Nets. Before that it was only Irving and Durant, it was already getting the news everywhere and made most of the fans jumped to their team and turns to them as playoffs to finals caliber team.
Without a doubt, they are the number 1 team now in the league, and I think at this moment they are unstoppable, but there is pressure on their shoulders now because if they will not be champions, I think it will be the most humiliating team ever assemble in the history of the NBA and any other sports, this team now is stronger than the team assemble in the bay area, and they can do threepeat.

I make a profit out of it, holding my AME still have some coins, hoping it will be like .5 USD in the future but I think it will take a long time, I think the issue is the product and what makes the coins go down is the lack of announcement, they only posting a listing, but there is no discussion, upgrades
the team answers questions, but the community needs more than that.
349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 13, 2021, 03:13:44 PM
This news may not be related to NBA but it will still be relevant as it involves the players in this association. It's about the USA team 57 finalists that may make to the final Olympics roster: https://clutchpoints.com/lebron-james-stephen-curry-highlight-list-of-57-team-usa-finalists-for-tokyo-olympics/

57 finalists? how many of them will get the final spot in the olympics?

I think it's not necessary that Lebron or KD will play in the Olympics, even with the younger players, USA still is the heavy favorites to bag the gold medal.

Of course they still want to let an NBA All-star play because they can still put on a show even though its the Olympics. As long as they are an available player which is hand selected by the USA coach, they will be able to play and of course they are also launching try outs for the team but NBA players are heavily favored to join because of their experience.
The young core of the NBA have no match, in the Olympics, if the USA wants to get the gold they need to be serious, it's a different league the rules are different, they need LeBron KD and other star players, to win it all, players on the Olympics of other countries are really good, it will be not a walk in the park if they will send only rookies.

today coins are now verified and people are checking if it has the purpose to the community, back in 2017 there are lots of coins being created daily out of nothing, today its is a bit controlled because once the community checks its fake or scam, it will not be launch since the people will ignore it, so what i can say is that coins now are fewer than before.

Both Stable coins are okay to use, its a matter of who do you prefer to use or where you are comfortable with since they are both stable coin, there will be no problem, but if you want me to choose on those two ill be in USDT since I have been using it for a long time, there is no issue I have been encounter so, why move to other when there is no problem in my current stable coin that I use.
352  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Falling of Ethereum on: March 13, 2021, 01:04:23 AM
Ethereum dropped with around 3%. Cryptocurrency fall to $1778. Against bitcoin. Ethereum continue dropping
crypto price is volatile and you can't perfectly predict the price, even bitcoin price goes down sometimes, especially if there is a problem in the network, the last time eth crash is when the fee's skyrocket and people go to smart chain and eth deposit and withdrawal are suspended by binance, so if there is something wrong or an incident there is a possibility that a coin price will drop, it's normal.

So Blake still not playing right? and KD still resting,
Blake did not play, same with Durant, injury related issue, but they will be back soon.
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2924739-blake-griffin-will-not-make-nets-debut-vs-celtics-due-to-knee-injury-management

it's really good since they've been lead by Kyrie and Harden this two super stars are performing and continue covering KD's absence. With Blake and KD's playing and sharing the court, it's interesting how  coach Nash will manage blending this stars together and continue the chase in winning the title.
Kyrie has been appreciated now since they are already winning, I thought he would just go with his individual plays that makes the team suffer, but good thing Harden is a better ball handler than him and he is now the floor general.

No need for Blake and KD though, they've performed a high level of basketball tonight.

Irving again leading the Nets, will be interesting once Durant is back, how is the load management going to be. Irving doesn't need to score 40 a night though, once Durant is in the court. Blake could be used sparingly, like in a needed basis. And for sure he still can contribute. Nash is doing very well as well, it seems that everything is blending for his team.
I just hope that Irving attitude problem will not ruin what they are doing now since we know that Irving does not want nash as the head coach, I know sooner or later Irving will explode, I hope that he will just play and follow nash gameplan, this will give them a smooth sailing to the finals if things will be alright,

one of these is the NBA cards instead of us buying and holding it physically we can now have this via blockchain, the advantage is that the value will not go down, and we can open it anywhere, also we can play it to see the moment, that's amazing, I'm looking for collector's items toys to be in the blockchain also in the future, what do you think?
355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 12, 2021, 03:47:18 AM
Either way dont look now but Dallas looks like the righted the ship and will be competing for playoff position the rest of the way down.

When all healthy there is no way Dallas will not be in the playoffs. They will also be way higher then on 8th spot. Last 10 games their ratting is 8/2. That is only behind the Nets. And Mavericks were the team that give only loss to Nets in last 10 games. Only if healthy.

We have to remember that the Nets that night were playing without Irving and Durant, while Mavericks just got KCP back in the line up. A healthy Nets also is hard to beat but I'm not underestimating the Mavericks as they've been playing so great in the last 10 games.
Plays are different when durant and Irving are on the floor, the spacing opens up because durant can play drive or spot-up outside same as Irving, but this does not mean that the Mavs are easy to beat, Luka can dominate, I think the consistency is the only thing that is missing if they can make it steadily I'm sure they can go deeper in the playoffs, who knows.
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 11, 2021, 03:35:52 PM
As Aldridge now a free agent, this story has come out, and we will know the reason why he left Portland.

Why did LaMarcus Aldridge leave the Blazers?

If he doesn't want his superstar teammate then he would not consider going back to the Blazers and let us consider also that LaMarcus Aldridge is not getting any younger, he is already 35 years  and I think he is not anymore in his prime.

He doesn't want them that time because he thinks he is the center piece of Portland offense, but Lillard was a good addition to them. But now, he is not getting any younger, you already said he is 35 years old, he matured already and should be choosing teams that can give him a ring, it might be Portland or not. If he land in Portland then he should be the one adjusting and forget that he will be their number option.

If he's trying to get a ring before ending his career then you are right, he's the one that in need to adjust and not the entire team for him.

He don't have that right to demand, look at Melo, he's been given the chance to play again and now, with Blazers he's providing the space whenever the team needed him.

He's not demanding any but to play when he's been given the chance and showcase his talent. It should be  same mentality for Aldridge
Most of the stars today are chasing rings before they retired, for them to be able to show somehow in their career they have achieved something, unlike before yes they want championship but being to retire in the team that they have started is a great privilege, a journeyman is normal today just to have a ring, im sure aldridge wan't to add something in his resume before leaving the sports that he loves.
357  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2021 NBA Season on: March 11, 2021, 02:05:23 AM
FREE AGENT ALERT

LeMarcus Aldridge has left the Spurs to pursue other opportunities. Could this be the free agent the Lakers have been looking for after missing out on Andre Drummond, or will the Nets scoop up yet another potential hall of famer?
Either of the two will fit as a backup center, as Anthony Davis is resting, Aldridge is a bit old and so prone to injuries, I'll go first with Andre big body underneath can defend better and score in my opinion, he will be a sure fit with the lakers, this will open up outside for the lakers and will definitely give more spacing with other laker players.

you need money in playing blockchain games, for example with axies you need it to play, how will you battle other axies player without it, at the same time you need money for selling those, monsters, I don't know where you get the information but what you have read or heard was wrong, you will need funds, not that much, but to be able to compete, of course, money is needed.

it is worth it if you are holding NEM not only that it already gone up, but also the free money you will get when Symbol is airdrop for the holders, who knows how much will be the price, it's still a profit, for holding Nem and XYM drop you get 2x profit from both coins by just holding XEM, also see some upcoming projects that might get the price to reach more than 1 USD, as the price last 2017 still not reach while other coins already reach or surpass their old all-time high.

Very serious, I think they are gambling on this year. I mean they got everything and hopefully that the big 3 will be healthy at least for this season, (although Durant is still resting). And to cap it off getting Griffin for insurance policy (yes he is also prone to injury but he can still contribute night in, night out.

Because they know that the big 3 is also ageing, prone to injury, so they might as well shoot everything this season and then see how it goes after that.
Letting KD rest for the big fight ahead.  Grin
I am not really a fan of Griffin but this could be his big break. Might as well give everything he got while the chances are high to get a ring.
Harden can facilitate and I think Griffin will shine again if Harden will keep on feeding him even just for outside shots.

Let's see how it will affect their chemistry which I think was getting better before they acquired Blake. I wish it wont be in a bad direction.
I honestly think that griffin wants to have a ring before he retires, we thought that clippers years will bring a ring for them, but fail miserably, and I think he purposely underperform to leave the previous team because he knows that top teams are looking for a backup center, he has saved a lot of money over the years and the only thing that is missing is a ring, that's my opinion, and its a force under the basket.
