@BBC as wheelz stated the problem is there’s just not that much available out there to try and go get, and there’s definitely no one as close to as good as Rodgers available, even at 40.
David Montgomery signed by the Detroit Lions late last night. As a Bears fan, Im actually really happy about this. I think he’s criminally overrated. There’s a lot of solid RBs available right now and apparently the Bears are considering trading for Ekeler. He’d be a great upgrade but not sure if his contract would be reasonable.
The rpa action between fields and Ekler would be deadly. I'm not big on large contracts for rbs but this one would make sense for the Bears. Short passes and the run game for the Bears would be elite between those 2. Good veteran presence in the locker room too. Wonder what chargers would want back in a trade. |

The Ja Morant story just keeps getting crazier and crazier. Noow some are speculating he might be shut down for the season as he goes to counseling. Seems like he's doing it to try and save his Powerade deal but I think that ship has already sailed. Whatever he decides to do, I hope he gets himself figured out in time to return to the playoffs. What a shame this situation is for the Grizzlies who finally have a good team and were looking to make a deep playoff run this year. Steven Adams must be pissed off about the whole situation.
And still there is no timetable for his return, but we should consider him not returning for this season, I mean they should allow him to play if everything is ok with him, otherwise if could be that he is still not mentally stable and continue his antics outside basketball. Grizzlies are playoff bound, but we all know that they needed Ja, last year they almost make it but he got injured against the Warriors. Now they have a good chance, but this unfortunately events resurface. Ja Morant is surely out for the whole season. At least that's what seems to be the situation right now. Mental health is of course a very serious thing for any athlete. After all, a player will only play well if his mental situation is good as well. Any kind of sport is as mental as it is physical. Him not being available is going to be a block for the game. But of course, they will have to find a way around this. The grizzlies are performing well right now. It will be a little hard without him, but it is what it is. He ended up only getting 8 games 6 of which already passed. So he is eligible to play starting Monday night against Dallas. Unsure if Memphis will throw him out there. But make no mistake losing ja means losing money for the NBA, he is one of the new faces and makes the sport entertaining. They won't push down one of theor cash cows unless it's something really bad. |

Overall, the Lakers are a good team to watch out now because after the trade deadline, they are coming from a team who can't get a play-in spot to now a team who might at least enter the playoffs. They have players who are good on offense, but at the same time, they also have players who are also good on defense. Davis on this game lead his team with a double-double 35 points and 17 rebounds. Beasley and Russell combined for 41 points.
I'm a bit surprised TBH that the Lakers ended up winning by only 15 points. I mean we've seen the lead of the Lakers go as high as 30+ points. Well, the good thing is that they didn't let the Pelicans get the momentum from the start until the end even though it's their home court. I just hope that they will win on their next game and will be on .500.
Another great win by the Lakers! Haters are going to hate, but they are showing us they are a completely different team. Winning on the road is difficult, but they managed to do it against the Pelicans and have dominated them. They are a great team, and we will no longer talk about their struggles, as they are demonstrating excellent chemistry that some of us did not expect after the trade deadline. NBA is so strange sometimes. They can't beat the Knicks (which is is without Jalen Brunson and on the 2nd game of a back to back) at home but on the road they beat NO leading by 35 points(!!!) at half time. This team is so inconsistent, even if they somehow reach the playoffs or play-ins they won't survive ( I hope ). May sound like a hater, but Lakers, no thanks.  They couldn't beat the Knicks because the Knicks are just a better team this year. The Knicks road record is significantly better than either the Lakers home or road record. The Lakers are just not a good team period. They will win some games but it's ugly basketball if ypu watch it. There is no team ball just individually playing. If enough guys have a good game then they can pull out a win. But they are not going anywhere anytime soon. |

Big stretch for golden state to end the season coming up. They do need to figure out how they are gonna win on the road. But come playoff time I don't have any doubt they will be right in the mix of everything. Playoff basketball is so different than regular season basketball. Big players step up and if Curry is on nobody is gonna stop him.
Steve Kerr said that's where his worry is. If they cannot win road games, what more will it be in the playoffs? We know they are a different team when that event comes but they must secure their playoff spot first. As of now, they cannot relax. Clippers are on their tail and they will keep on winning games with their strong roster. The Mavericks may also have been losing their games but when Luka and Kyrie come back, it will be a different story. The Warriors need to win every game as much as possible and avoid the play-in tournament. It will not be easy to be in a do-or-die situation especially without Wiggins yet. Yeah no one wants to play in the play in games so it makes sense for anyone in the 5/6 hole to want to keep that position. For the casual fans I just wanted to point out that what happens in the regular season doesn't always translate to the playoffs. If the Warriors play theor first 2 playoff games on the road against the higher seed kings team my guess would be that golden state would be favored in both games or at worst be an even bet. Not based on road record but playoff experience. It's a real thing they will be fine with all that experience on that team. The issue they would have is if they line up against Memphis in the first round. They are a tough matchup. |

@ChiBitCTy. The Jets might do better if they traded for someone else. Aaron Rodgers will be 40 years old and his performance were not very good much of the games I remember. However, if the Jets are not seaching for a quarterback that would bring them to the post season, Rodgers might be their quarterback hehe.
@DireWolfM14. However if the 49ers trade and have Lamar in their team, would you say that he can increase the odds for San Francisco to win a superbowl?
Problem is jets want to win now, and with Brady finally put of the division there is actually a shot that hasn't been there for 20 years. Yeah Rodgers is "nfl old" but he is better than literally anyone ypu van get in the free agent market, draft or on the team currently so as much as I'm against 1-2 year stop overs before retirement it makes sense for the jets. Let Wilson sit behind Rodgers and learn and he might actually be worth salvaging. |

Lost my parlay won my straight bet, even Steven. Dallas is in trouble they could end up on the outside looking in if they can't get it together here.
Tonight got some good games lined up
Gonna take the Denver trap game. Gimme the raps -1 at home here
Pelicans -1 against the Lakers
And last taking my knicks in Portland-2.5. Coue game time decisions and I'm betting on Dame being out.
Good luck tonight everyone!
Just gonna say this when I saw the Raptors were favored over the nugs I knew I had to take them. Now it's only in the second quarter but the raps up 62-46. This seemed like a vegas trap game trying to get everyone to bet on the nugs. When something looks too good to be true and mass amount of people are piling in on one side its time to bet the other side. Books don't lose. 😉 |

we will not know for the price of bitcoin in the future, and I just want to know what you think, about the question this time that I will ask you all, namely..
what will happen to altcoins if btc price drops to 10 dollars?
In short, this whole experiment will be over if that happens. I mean I'm sure bitcoincan fail and other projects continue on but in the near future I can't see that happening. If people lose faith in bitcoin then I can't see why they wouldn't lose faith in all of crypto. Can other projects thrive, yes they can but bitcoin at $10 would upend any progress crypto has make in the last 10-15 years. |

Since most of the major altcoins move up or down at the same time as bitcoin, aren't they all controlled? How does it work?  For one, bitcoin drives the market, usually when bitcoin moves so do alts. But another huge factor is a lot of the alts are paired with bitcoin. So as bitcoin goes up in usd so do alts because the unlying paired asset went up. In short alts usually tend to always follow whatever bitcoin is doing. Skip the bull and just buy bitcoin and hodl  |

@ChiBitCTy. Aaron Rodgers will not go to the Las Vegas Raiders? I always speculated that Las Vegas would be his next team after the Raiders traded for Davante Adams. They might need that type of partnership to bring them to the post season. Also, it appears Lamar trade to the 49ers speculation is growing. This does not imply that it will be an effortless negotiation, however. Then you have Lamar Jackson. The Baltimore Ravens placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on the former NFL MVP, giving them the right to match any offer from an interested team.
Kawakami believes the 49ers are (or were) intrigued by the possibility. At the very least, they probably haven't dismissed the idea, and the writer doesn't believe they should.
"I checked around myself on Wednesday and was told that the 49ers are looking at everything, as always," Kawakami wrote.
He notes that the 49ers were not included in a list of organizations seemingly ruled out of a potential Jackson sweepstakes—teams like the Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Washington Commanders, and Miami Dolphins.Source https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/167559-kawakami-lamar-jackson-49ers-would-nfl-defensive-coordinators/The Raiders signed Jimmy Garapollo earlier today, so they will definitely not be going after Aaron Rodgers now. The Jets still make too much sense for Rodgers. They’ve got a much better team than the Packers, so he’s improving his situation sizably in my opinion, not sure what the hold up is at this point. I still expect this deal to get done. I can’t see Lamar going to the Niners. They’ve already got two QBs on the roster they’ve either invested a lot in or have seen a lot from..doesn’t make sense to me. Welp the jets just landed lazard and Rodgers publicly said if he goes to the jets he wants them to pick up lazard so I'd say that's a done deal. My giants scooped up Darren waller for a 3rd round pick. Just hope the dude can stay on the field. If so that would be a huge plus in their passing game but that's a huge if. Love how football season just keeps going. Up next month draft mania lol. |

Warriors won!
Steph and Klay were hot in the 1st half making a 25-point lead. But the Suns never gave up and pursued a close battle, they did and even got close to a 3-point lead. But the early foul trouble and bonus for the Warriors at 6 minutes left in the 4th are what made the difference, then there's Jordan Poole who suddenly got hot.
Did they shake hands after the game? I didn't see it. Seems like even Damion Lee is creating some trouble against Jamychal Green in garbage time.
Great to hear that the Warriors are back! They seem to be on a roll lately, with two consecutive wins against tough opponents in the NBA, the Bucks and the Suns. It's always fun to watch Thompson shoot his normal, and he seems to be more comfortable now in the 3 point line. He has been consistent lately with his shooting, which is great news for the Warriors. Warriors won "ON THEIR HOME" where they have one of the best home records right now. TBH, I'm more nervous than exciting on how the Warriors are playing this season. Yes the Warriors are winning on their home, and like you said, they beat Bucks and Suns who are at the top teams currently, but that's on their home. What if that happened on the road? Will it be the same. That is the thing, it's not that new that we are witnessing the Warriors winning on their home but don't take it wrong, it still makes me excited whenever they are at home because the team is overshooting their stats as they are just so hard to beat at Chase Center or even in the Oracle Arena where the first homecourt of the present core players. But the fact is, I'm still not that convinced since Steph Curry returned because the Bucks and Suns that they defeated just recently are the teams who lacks their core players, Giannis and Durant respectively. Before that, when they are still on the road, they cannot even defeat the Grizzlies who doesn't have Adams, Clarke and Ja Morant which makes them so bad on the road. Now that they are back on their road games, which is 5 games in total, let's see if they can defeat those teams because the way I way I see it, the easiest one is the Houston Rockets. Big stretch for golden state to end the season coming up. They do need to figure out how they are gonna win on the road. But come playoff time I don't have any doubt they will be right in the mix of everything. Playoff basketball is so different than regular season basketball. Big players step up and if Curry is on nobody is gonna stop him. |

Anyway, I will only bet on the Lakers-Knicks today and will go all in with the Lakers. The Knicks are kind of struggling though they are the one team who has a very good road game record. Still, I'll go with the Lakers even though without Lebron. They are playing very well, and would love to see them continue their winning streak to 4. Good luck to all bettors. Unfortunately, the Lakers weren't able to play with the same intensity they showed when they beat the Knicks. This time, they lost the game with AD only scoring 17 points and having a very bad free throw shooting night, making only 1 out of 5 attempts. The New York Knicks won the rebounding battle, and they shot well from the free throw line compared to the Lakers. Well, a close one, but a very entertaining match. I lost my bet to them, but still I'm ok with it. Looks like Davis is having a hard time scoring as he only scored 17 points with this one. I don't know if he either he doesn't want to shoot the ball that much so that his teammates can contribute on offense, or he's having a problem that we don't know (probably injury). He isn't 100% I guess that's why he's playing like that. On the other hand, the duo of Randle and Barrett lead the Knicks scoring a total of 63 points to lead their team to victory after losing 3 straight. I thought that I will see the Lakers on .500 because it has been a long time since they got above .500, but it seems like it isn't happening at least this time. They'll play on the road for the next 2 games, and maybe they can win on both games to get to .500. Surely Davis wasn't on his usual performance earlier when they faced the Knicks, I don't know what's wrong with him because they are suppose to take advantage of the hand they have even if Lebron is not with them as the Knicks was also incomplete because Brunson wasn't there as well. Besides, they've got some fresher feet compared to the Knicks who had a 2-day road game at LA for facing the Clippers yesterday but again, that wasn't the case in the game earlier. Right! If only they had the right mindset in that game, they could have end it with a W on their side. The way I see it, it was just an honest mistake but that same mistake was big enough to give the Knicks some advantage over them and as expected, the Knicks took that advantage to end their road games at LA with decent record as they defeated one of the two LA teams. Later on, we will witness another good match-up and it'll be the Warriors versus Phoenix. For that, I got Warriors on my side. This was no mistake, the Knicks are just the better team. People overvalued the Lakers because the team name and history but they are what their record says they are and that's a bottom of the league team. Knicks should have and did win the game, not because the Lakers screwd up but because the better team won. |

It looks total crabs that without btc altcoin has no value streaming on its own. I observed several occasions when btc experience downtime, it affects the rest of the altcoin and when it pumps altcoin experience likewise. I classified bitcoin as 🚜 tractors that levels prices of altcoins. ETH is second world best crypto that occupied core ria marketcap in the crypto market but yet it cannot survive without btc.
That's mean alternatively, if btc falls flat altcoin will dies off. What their deep relationship? Why btc important to altcoin, what's the connection in between? Will altcoins really survive without btc?
Basically because most altcoins are just scams or lazy attempts at building a project. Most every altcoin is not needed, meaning bitcoin already solves what they are trying to do. So that is the relationship, altcoins are mostly pump toys in bull markets for people to get more bitcoin and that's it. It's why altcoin volume usually all but dries up in bear markets because no one actually uses it. |

Despite the recent price decline of Bitcoin, the prices of huge altcoin names such as ETH and BNB have gone up. Over the history, Bitcoin has been and still is the most reliable cryptocurrency and the others don't seem to overtake Bitcoin's dominance in the foreseeable future. In the current bear market, will altcoins prosper and gradually challenge the place of Bitcoin ? Why or why not ? Please share your thoughts.
Plain and simple, no. If bitcoin goes up to 100k you can bet altcoin prices will surge and likewise if bitcoin tanked to $1k you can expect alts to fall off the cliff. Short of the answer is bitcoin does and always drive long term price movements. |

It's normal to foul in that situation, but what's not normal is taking too much time before fouling Josh Hart. It's just unfortunate that he didn't miss the free throw, and even if the Lakers made the 3-point shot, time was not in their favor. Maybe they'll reflect on what happened, as they came back but wasted the opportunity to have a chance to win in the end.
What is to be so aware of? I mean players should be aware of the time that is remained, and the point difference and they should know if they should foul or not. There is no scenario where it is alright to let the other team take so much time when the situation is like that, what did they expected Knicks to throw the ball in the air? Obviously the time would run out if you do not foul right away. Plus, we are talking about a situation that doesn't even require the coach to tell you to foul, it is the common sense and you should be doing it right away even without getting any orders from the coach as well. This was a simple mistake, shouldn't be repeated for sure. That is the kind of question where the players could only answer why it took them some precious time before they realized that they should foul it to have their team some time to prepare for it because that time was the only thing left that does hold their chance from being defeated. But seeing what they did earlier was clearly a mistake on their side, they should be aware of what is happening and take steps ahead just to be sure. That was a wasted game for sure. They didn't hesitate fouling the knocks just did a great job keeping the ball moving. People sure do love the Lakers, they are barely a fringe playoff team they have zero chance of winning the championship. They might not even get to play the playin...bottom line knicks won on the road in LA, Getty up. |

Today this 2 stable coins crash for almost 12% - 20% price decrease on the dollar. Probably this is the effect of Circle downfall due to Silvergate and Silicon Valley Bank collapse which is holding most of there reserve funds.
I don’t know what’s happening on DAI but best guess is something bad going on MakerDao. Invest safe! Avoid stablecoins for now!
depended? I've never been into spring in those pegged coins never trusted them. Maybe it's because these types of things are inevitable. Luna, these depegging, etc always made it feel scammish. People throw a lot of trust in these projects and they continue to fail, rug, etc. Bitcoin for me thanks. |

And for the last one a road favorite. Gimme okc in San Antonio-3.5.
Good luck today everyone!

Once again, Poole's production has dropped significantly. I don't know if this will help them much. I understand that Curry and Thompson are the usual scorers of this team, but seeing Poole's low production sometimes disappoints me.
I'm sure they'll figure out how to improve his production, as Poole is capable of scoring huge numbers based on his past performance. It's just that Curry is their best player, so he is currently the one who is making most of the shots. However, Poole's production is not that important. What matters now is that the Warriors continue to win to secure a safe playoff spot. If I were coaching this team, LOL... I would put Poole in the second unit. I think that would give them a good second unit. I've always thought Poole would be better suited to come off the bench and lead the 2nd team too. Still get his minutes but not clash with klay and steph all the time. The 3 of them are all better with the ball in their hands and there is just one ball. I guess that's a good issue to have. |

Can't wait to watch tonight's golden state and bucks game, should be a good one on prime time tv, they should all be up for this one.
And now the Knicks on a 3 game losing streak. 3 games without brunsen. Even bigger reason to see how big brunsen means to this team. The Knicks will only go as far as jalen will take them it seems. They need a win or 2 to salvage this west coast trip. Would hate to see them slide into the 7th or lower spot.
