Just one more sleep until NBA basketball kicks off. I think with the Damian Lillard trade the Bucks became the team to beat in the East and I think the pickup of Bradley Beal makes the Suns the team to beat in the West. I think the Warriors will have another good year along with the Celtics and Nuggets, but I think the Bucks take home the crown this year.

China just sent 6 warships to the Middle East, it really is getting worse and we may really be seeing an all-out war in the region. tension is running high. If I were from anywhere near that region, I would start moving out early morning tomorrow. Time to get ready I'd probably ride to Tibet. High ground  Grin

They chose war this time. The superpowers protecting their interest in that region and the citizens are dying.

From what I read the story of China’s warships is being misreported and the ships have been there for nearly half a year now. The fact we’re sending a warship to seemingly threaten them makes me think that China is ready to make its move to exploit the weak Joe Biden administration. This will (hopefully) be the final disaster of the Biden Presidency and I hope the loss of life is kept at a minimum.

I believe that not keeping records does make you a bad gambler, but not necessarily at gambling, but at recording your gains and losses for tax recording purposes. That could land you in some hot water with the law and I can assure you that they would consider you a bad gambler for not having the necessary information they need to verify your taxes.

At this point it’s so obvious that Jim Cramer’s job is to use the peon’s to overbuy and oversell assets that he’s trying to love the price on to get himself or his clients a more attractive buy or sell point. It’s been obvious for so long that it’s now a running joke. The sad part is that I’m sure he has fans who are retirees and are losing their life savings following his picks.

Bad news for the Grizzlies just as the season is about to kick off. Their center Steven Adams is having knee surgery and will be out for the entire year. This is especially bad in my opinion because the Grizzlies have issues and Steven Adam’s is a great person with a lot of influence over his teammates and I think a big part of the reason he’s on that team is to keep Ja Morant in check.

Looking at a two year chart of Bitcoin’s price and I think it’s the most bullish chart setup I’ve ever seen. Of course that probably means we’re in for a big drop since what the market does best is takes people’s money, but I feel pretty confident at the moment that we’re about to start heading upward in a major way in the somewhat near future.

In the game against the Warriors, it was amusing to see Wiggins guarding Wemby. Wiggins is known for his defensive skills, but he didn't match up well with Wemby and he look like a little boy against a giant. The Spurs emerged victorious in that battle. However, I also noticed a weakness in Wemby - he seemed to run out of energy. This could be a factor he needs to work on, especially when facing teams like the Warriors who play at a high pace. If he can't keep up with the game's tempo, it might force the Spurs to bench Wemby which is not what we want to see.

Yeah, the Spurs won the game. Wemby put up 19 points in just 20 minutes of play, which seems about right for a preseason game. But you could tell he got a bit winded in that one, and who wouldn't? It was a small-ball game by the Warriors, and that can really tire out the opposition, especially if they're used to playing with big guys. Maybe that's why Tacko Fall and Boban Marjanovic don't see a lot of minutes on their teams, as they can't keep up with the fast-paced game. But Wemby's still young, he showed some special skills, and I'm sure there's plenty of time for him to develop his game.

As for Kristaps Porzingis (7-3), he earned some good minutes with his team, so it can vary from player to player, I guess.

I’ve been really surprised how well Wemby has been playing. I wonder if it’s just because of the preseason or what. I haven’t seen him getting bullied too much down low. I suspect that is going to change as soon as the regular season starts. I was totally wrong about LaMelo Ball though so maybe I’ll be surprised.

What a day for Islam Makhachev!
It is not easy to beat Volkanovski and it is even harder to do it with a KO, but Makhachev proved he is better fighter after beating him again, and he made Khabib proud.

So true mate, it was a hard day for Volkanovski, KO in the first round was just brutal for a guy like him, but I totally understand why Islam attacked that way, he just wanted to avoid what happened in the past fight, so, this time he has to go all in.

And my prediction about the Russian guy on his debut was right, it was an easy x1.4 as I mentioned before, too bad I missed the fight, it was too early morning for me, but I will search for the replay. For sure it was a crazy one.

Islam definitely caught him with a good kick that put him out. His cuts and the blood afterward looked gnarly. Seemed like Volkanovski just wasn’t ready for that.

A similar story with Usman and Khamzat. I think the fighters we’ve grown to love over the years have just gotten too old and now there is a new generation of fighters ready to own all the belts.

Well, it looks like the market has retraced that move back up to $30K as expected. I think the dips below $30K aren’t going to last forever, so take advantage when they come from here on out. I suspect in another 18 months you will look like a genius if you bought below $40K, so don’t sit on the fence trying to grab the bottom, just make sure you’re getting in the game.
1692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🥊 The UFC Info and Prediction Thread on: October 21, 2023, 05:47:34 PM
Kamaru Usman vs Khamzat Chimaev is the only fight I’m really interested in watching. Usman is a beast but Khamzat has been on a tear making his opponents look like unskilled children out there. The odds don’t make this an interesting bet unless you’re going for Usman, and I think he has a decent shot at winning, but I think I’ll just enjoy watching this one.

Elon Musk decided it would be a good idea to do a live fire test on the Cybertruck, so he emptied a drum from a Tommy gun into the side of it as a test supposedly if tweets are to be believed. He also confirmed that not a single bullet made it into the cabin. Then what did they do? They drove the Cybertruck around town to show it off.

Andre Iguodala just retired. The guy has managed to get a lot of achievements during his entire 19 years NBA seasons of his career.

--> https://andscape.com/features/golden-state-warriors-forward-andre-iguodala-retires-its-just-the-right-time/

Do you think that his jersey is also going to be retired by the Golden State Warriors? I am pretty sure that Steph's will be but don't know about his.

He truly deserves to have his jersey hung because he was one of the major reasons behind the Warriors' success when they won a championship. He was named Finals MVP in 2015, and his ability to limit LeBron, who is the best player of the Cavaliers, was a key part of their victory. He successfully guarded LeBron throughout that series.

I can confidently say that he had a fulfilling career in the NBA. As we all know, a player's ultimate satisfaction comes from winning a championship, and Iggy achieved that with Curry and the rest of the big three.

Iggy going to the Warriors was the moment when the dynasty was created. Without him, the Warriors would not have had the success they did against LeBron.

Speaking of the Warriors, Wemby had a pretty nice highlight tonight swatting Klay Thompson and then getting a monster dunk on a fast break the other way. It was impressive.

I hadn’t heard this one but developing a blue substance inside sounds like a problem that you probably don’t want to have when it comes to an expensive electrical device with a very high operating temperature. Sounds more like an episode of Breaking Bad than a report on graphics card issues. Hope they got this issue figured out.

There are always choices in how to store one’s Bitcoin and I would even suggest people choosing more than one method. For many users it is a tightrope of how to store your coins though. They want simplicity without someone being able to get their private key from a sticky note on their monitor, but also don’t want to mess something up and lose all their coins.

People can learn all sorts of tips and tricks, but when it comes down to it there is nothing you can do to realistically stop yourself from gambling irresponsibly. You just need to be a man and take responsibility for your decisions. If you don’t want to lose more than a certain amount gambling, don’t bet more than that amount. It isn’t rocket science.

This natural disaster is something that has become a yearly nightmare all around the world...
It displaces people... properties... businesses...lost of lives.etc
I think there should be an organization all around the world to tackle this to an extent..
What's your take on this?

My city was flooded when I was in Junior High School. Many of my friends’ houses were flooded and the damage was shocking to witness firsthand. All family photos and heirlooms gone. Basically your entire life and history just washed away leaving only the bones of a home to have everything replaced. Flooding is much more devastating than most people realize.

I think once we see a meaningful break above $30,000 you will begin to feel the FOMO building. A lot of people have written Bitcoin off since the last run up stopped and have no idea that the price has hit bottom and started moving up for the next cycle. Soon the news about Bitcoin being back will be everywhere and the buyers will be coming out of the woodwork.

The Lakers and the Suns facing off was a cool game to watch. Both teams seemed to lack something. The Suns in particular seemed to have guys out there on the floor that shouldn’t be playing in an NBA game. I thought Nurkic looked good but some of the Suns smaller defenders looked lost out there when facing up against bigger players like LeBron.

As I see it, the main point of preseason games is to get the main players of the teams warmed up before the regular season and also to give the bench players some playing time on the court. That way, the bench players have some opportunity to prove themselves, while the coaches can decide who should play in the NBA and who shouldn't.

I hope so. The less Grayson Allen I see on the court the better. He has no business being in the NBA with his dirty play style and I hate seeing him on my home team.

Just a few more days until the season kicks off now. I can tell you that I will for sure be spending Tuesday night watching the guys on TNT kick off another year of NBA basketball.
