It is still too early in the season. They have plenty of time to go back to the drawing board and figure out what is keeping them from winning. A lot of teams that started poorly early on the season came back strong and finished strong. We know the warriors are strong since their core is still complete and their young cores are performing well. It is just a matter of time before we see them winning again.


Yeah, I noticed that too. They do not have GPII which is a very good defender coming from the bench. That guy is good in offense and defense. Steve Kerr need to develop someone from this current roster that they can rely on defensively. They already have too much fire power. If they can get someone who can fill up their defensive needs, then we will see them win again.

I do not think that a minimum deposit will not halter a gambler from using a website as long as it is secure and he enjoys playing at that casino. But first-time users will try to deposit a minimum amount just to test the new casino. I do not think new users will risk a high amount to new casinos.


If you want to test the site out or test if a deposit will push through, the minimum deposit or the lack of it will matter. Other than that, it is better to deposit a bigger amount to avail of the promos or bonuses.

I also noticed that. Actually, most of the games this year of the warriors are high scoring. There is just too much offense and less defense already. We know that that type of game cannot secure a championship. I think the rockets proved that to us already. They are offense centered and they can't win a championship. The Warriors need to adjust their defense. Klay is not that strong in defense anymore since his injury. Steph and Poole better step up their defense if they want to defend their title.


Well, luck is also a part of basketball. Some shots fall your way, sometimes they don't. The important thing with the Lakers is that they were able to get something out of their roster. It means they can improve on it and get some more wins. At least they have a set that could work and beat other teams. Maybe they can push that to defeat the Jazz too.

I guess we will see that later. It is not easy to conclude that they can't win against the Jazz. They still have their stars healthy so far. I think we will see a good game.

Here is my bet for tomorrow



Philadelphia Sixers vs New York Knicks

James Harden is out for the month because of a right foot tendon strain and Joel Embiid is questionable. But I think the remaining Sixers are still enough to beat the knicks in their match.

Detriot Pistons vs Cleveland Cavaliers

With Donovan Mitchell with the Cavs this year, I do not think that the Cavs will lose against the Pistons. Even on the road, I think the Cavs have enough firepower to overpower the Pistons.

If they can beat Zion, CJ, and the Pelicans I think they have a higher chance of beating a rebuilding team without superstars in their team. The advantage of Jazz is they are unpredictable, and they are young and hungry. I am thinking Lebron, AD, and Westbrook would be able to handle them with the help of the young players of the Lakers. It would be a good match even though Lakers and Jazz are far apart in the standing. Now that Lakers are finding their groove, they can give the Jazz a good game.


They are on a losing streak, and they suspend one of their stars. Another long losing streak again for this team. They are lined up against Wizards, HOrnets, Mavs, Knicks, and Clippers. I do not think they can beat any of these team without Kyrie.

I understand the man. He just don't want his kids to rely too much on the money and do not understand the concept of hardwork. Some kids are like that, they rely too much on their parents for money especially if they know the parents have too much. Also, some people cannot handle having too much money all at once. Just like me, I am used to having just enough money. If I have too much money, all I think about is how I will spend it. Before I know it, all the extra money is gone. Maybe the guy is thinking that way too. He is just thinking his kids and wife will change their attitude towards money if they know that they have a lot of extra money. I would do that too, hid the money from them, at least until I know they are mature enough to handle large amount of money.

I am trying to bet on the Lakers today hoping they have found their groove when they beat the stronger Nuggets. They could be a start of their winning streak and I am taking that bet right now. I have hesitation because Davis may not play but I read that he will tough it out tonight against the Pelicans, so I took the courage and put some money in even though they are underdog in this game. Hopefully, he can register double double again this game and Westbrook has a good night. If this condition is met, I am sure the Lakers will win this game.

Update on Roster changes ahead of DPC Season 2023

OG AND ATF DECIDED TO PART WAYS

Source : https://www.oneesports.gg/dota2/og-atf-reportedly-parting-ways-after-ti11/

It is said in the article that OG and ATF mutually decided to part ways and ATF received offers from team for pos 1 and 3. The teams are not yet named.

The rumor earlier is that Misha will be replaced by Cr1t and now ATF is out of the roster. Will it be a rebuild for OG?

Maybe we will see ceb or chu playing with the team while they are filling up the vacant positions.

Even with a good coach, it will not be an instant gratification case. There will be an adjustment period before they can see success especially since the play styles will be completely different. The Nets right now like to play hero balls with Kyrie and KD making their own shots while Udoka's play is more on moving the ball around. Hopefully, Udoka will get the two stars respect so he can coach them otherwise it will be Nash all over again.


Any win for LA Lakers right now is a cause for celebration. With how bad they started this season and how disarrayed their roster is, they should be happy they have won against Nuggets. Maybe it was pure luck or they have finally found something that clicks in their roster, we will know that in the next few games if they continue winning. And we need a tougher team than NOP to prove that they have found their formula for winning. Maybe a win against Bucks or Celtics will cement that.

The problem is not POGO itself but the implementation of the law or prevention of the operation of illegal POGOs in the Philippines. As you said, there are ways to legally operate POGO in the Philippines that will benefit both the POGO and the government of the Philippines. The government acknowledges the money they can earn with taxes and everything coming from POGO can help the economy of the country. They are good sources of funds if they work legally. The benefits for both parties are overwhelming if only the POGO is operating legally. The problem only arises when POGO is not legally registered. Most often as well, illegal POGOs are the ones that bring in illegal workers through tourist visas. MOst of the problems are from illegal POGO.

I think the Philippine government should not declare it illegal but be more active and vigilant in preventing illegal POGOs to operate in the country. Illegal operators do not only affects the country but also other POGOs that operate legally. They pose a danger in their own niche.

If the Philippines is capable of tracking down and closing illegal POGO in the country, then the legal ones can continue operating.

I was surprised when I read this one in the news earlier. I thought they were all good, but I guess the bad start is enough to remove him from the position. From what I read, Nets is tapping the currently suspended Ime Udoka as their next head coach. I guess we have to watch out if this will be true.


I guess you are right. The way Westbrook play is not compatible with Lebron. Lebron needs a shooter outside where he can kick the ball out when is he trapped inside. Westbrook cannot be that person because he has abysmal outside shooting. Westbrook needs the ball in his hand and makes the plays. Coming out from the bench, he will not be on the way of Lebron or competing on the same position.



Fits the team though. Controversial players with their controversial coach. Fits perfectly. seriously speaking, if he can install the same discipline the Boston Celtics have, I think that will have a good effect on the team. What this team needs are a coach that could whip the star players into the right direction. They are full of talented players, but they won't listen to Nash.

Right, LCQ did give so much value in the recently concluded TI. Two of the top 4 finishers are from LCQ. That should give Valve something to think about.



I do not know if it is true, but it is still a rumor. I just read it somewhere and I did not yet read anything that can confirm this.

Topson is going to Team Liquid.
RTZ is going to Team Secret.
Cr1t is going to OG as pos 5/Captain replacing Misha.

It is bizarre that Team Secret will have a roster change after finishing 2nd in a newly formed team. Are they replacing Crytallis because of his abysmal performance in the Finals? Puppey should give this team a second chance.


I do not think Topson have a contract with T1. I think he is just interim / replacement. I think it is either SEA or Europe for Topson if he is going to pick another team. Sea because his wife is from SEA and he is from Europe. Lots of team would still want topson in their roster after his performance in LCQ. He is still in top form.

Yeah, Zion destroyed my parlay. I won the other two except the Pelicans vs Clippers. Better luck next time.

---

Here is my bet for today.




I am basically just betting on the favorite on both of these games. I believe the Nets wants to bounce back from their bad start and should be winning games. I am hoping they could beat Chicago this time.

The Suns have a good start. Timberwolves is a tough match for them especially they have two towers with Gobert and KAT that could make it very hard for them in the inside. But I like to bet on momentum and right now the Suns has the momentum winning the last 4 games.

The Nuggets are up 8 points with 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. The Lakers are showing some life in the game, but the Nuggets are consistent and persistent. The Laker's 3 points are connecting, and Westbrook even made 1 as I write this. The Lakers may not be hopeless after all. If they can take this game, that will be a huge boost in their confidence going to the next game. They just need to keep pushing and pushing until the end of this game.

Unfortunately, Team Liquid was not able to get past Team Secret in the Lower Bracket Finals. They were outmatched in the draft and in skills by the cores and Puppey of Team Secret. It would be nice to watch Team Liquid against Tundra since they did not meet in the whole tournament. And we know that Secret have a very hard time to win against tundra even in the Group Stage or Upper Bracket. And Tundra will not expect Liquid to get to the finals, they could have upset Tundra if Matu and the team was able to get past Puppey.


Tundra like to play late game. All their carry are all late gamers, Chaos Knight, Naga, and Medusa. Even if Team secret was able to dominate them on Laning and early game, Tundra just needs to hit the timing on their carry and then take over the game. One thing I notice too is that Skiter is very quick on farming. Compared to Crystallis, Skiter was able to get his core items faster than Crystallis does. That is why when Tundra starts to initiate team fights, Crystallis is bullied.

I normally do not bet on CS but I enjoy watching them since I know most of us played this game before. Even though I do not play this game anymore, I still enjoy watching especially when there are clutch plays happening. It is different in DOTA since I still play from time to time, but since it will be months without DOTA, CS is a good replacement for betting and watching streams. Unless you are a LoL fans, then you are watching WOrld right now.


What game is this? Is it Road to Rio? Thanks for the advice but Stake does not offer total maps. Do you have other sites that offer that?

I think it is quite the opposite. Instead of quitting, you might actually get hooked to gambling. If you are a first timer, then that is a good hook. If you are an old-time gambler, it is just additional fund to gamble more. Winning a big amount is not a good deterrent to gambling.


This is possible unless you are an addicted gambler. NO number of losses can deter you from gambling. Instead of quitting, you will find more money to fund your gambling addiction. That is how addicts bankrupt their resources. But I think not so many are like this. I for sure, if accrued a very large lost will stop gambling. At least for a while.

This is a case-to-case basis. It depends on the person if he has the will to quit gambling. Others do not have the will to control their habits or addiction. You are lucky if you are one of the people who have the will to control their gambling habits or quit it totally.



This could help #3 especially if the wife is very supportive of you. But if she is just going to nag you about gambling, I think the result will be the opposite. Many men hate to be nagged by their wives, but some are willing to change because of their wives when properly approached, supported and guided.

That record goes to Philadelphia 76ers. Whether it is plain losing streak (28) or losing streak to start a season (18), the sixers have the record. The Lakers is still far from breaking that record and I hope they don't because they will run out of scape goats to blame if that losing streak breaks the record.


I am not so sure about that, the Pelicans will be missing Ingram on this game. And Zion, I think is questionable if not an in-game decision. Kawhi is out too but they still have PG13 and Wall and the role players of the Clippers is quite strong too. The Pelicans might have a hard time on this one even if Zion will play. I bet for the Clippers in this one.


They have to make do with this roster because they are stuck with this one for a while. They need to trade Westbrook to make changes in their roster and find help for Lebron but they can't find a team that will take him. I think the Lakers lose another good year of LeBron because they failed to make the necessary changes during the off-season.

You mean Puppey still can't get his second aegis since Puppey already won the Aegis in the first TI together with Dendi in Navi.

It is sad that Team Spirit was not able to defend their aegis and actually they were eliminated very early in the main stage. It could have been better if they were the one in the finals to defend their title but that is how e-sports is. Some time you are at the top, sometimes you are at the very bottom. Right now, they are at the bottom. Sadder thing is, I think team Spirit is having a roster change and torontotokyo is forming a new team. I just read it somewhere, but I do not know if that is true.



A lot of players are retiring after this TI. Somnus, Faith_bian and Matu are retiring. I think there is more I just could not remember everyone. Team Liquid has given Matu are good farewell. Coming from Last Chance Qualifier and ending in the Lower Bracket Finals, that is the most epic sendoff they could give. And they have given the most epic games in this TI as well. I think he is happy that he ended his DOTA career in a high note.

Here is my bet for today



LA Clippers vs New Orleans Pelicans

It is hard to bet for Clippers since I am having a hard time tracking when will Kawhi Leonard will play. And even if he plays, he is not starting and will only play 6 minutes in the second quarter. The team they are against them, if they are good should be able to take advantage of that and should already built a sustainable lead by then. But I think against the Pelicans, they will not be needing the service of Kawhi to win this game. Even without kawhi, the Clippers are still a playoff team and against a depleted Pelicans, they can easily win against them.

Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards

Boston has lost their last two games after starting a hot 3-0 in the season. They are rearing to come back and win this game. And with their roster all healthy except for Brogdon who is questionable, I know they could win this game against the Wizards.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs New York Knicks

Cleveland is on a hot streak, winning their last 4 games. And it is against strong teams like the Celtics, Wizards, and Bulls. They are high right now and I do not think that New York Knicks will be able to stop their roll.
