I will not put my picks for tomorrow's game

Seattle Storm vs Phoenix Mercury

The Seattle Storm is having a game against the Phoenix Mercury at the Climate Pledge Arena Seattle's home Stadium, right now the Seattle Storm's key injuries are Arella Guirantes (illness), who can not play for the Storm, and Jordan Horston (shoulder) who is questionable if he can play for the Storm, While the Phoenix Mercury Key Injuries are Diana Taurasi (hamstring), Shey Peddy (Achilles), Brittney Griner (hip), and Skylar Diggins-Smith (can not play for the Mercury, This could be a close game if not for those injured for the Mercury so this is going to be a win for the Seattle Storm at least for me, the stake odds for this game are 1.69 for the Storm and 2.05 for the Mercury, so my pick is the Seattle Storm,

Las Vegas Aces vs Indiana Fever

The Las Vegas Aces are having a game against the Indiana Fever at the Mandalay Bay Events Center Ace's home Stadium, right now the Las Vegas Ace's key injuries are Riquna Williams (back), and can not play for the Aces while the Indiana Fever Key Injuries are Bernadett Hatar (suspension) and can not play for the Fever, and Victoria Vivians (Concussion) Grace Berger (ankle) are both questionable if they can play for the Fever, for this game this is a sure one-sided game, the stake odds for this game are 1.05 for the Aces and 7.80 for the Fever, for sure I will not put a direct winning bet for the Las Vegas Aces, will hold on to this and look for some great bets, available,

Not a great bet it was 1 out of 3 and pretty much I have risk betting on 2 underdogs this time but it was no success,

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics - LOST

1st bet the Washington Mystics pretty much dominated the entire game they just brush their way to a not so much trying Chicago Sky Kahleah Copper is not herself at least Alanna Smith has tried, the Chicago Sky badly needed this win but they have failed miserably, and looking at the Mystics dominant form winning this game it was really a good spread for them, and a very one-sided match that I have watch, the Washinton Mystic was led by Elena Delle Donne with 18 points for the team,

Minnesota Lynx vs Connecticut Sun - WIN

The only winning bet I got, I think the only team that I can say I can trust that can win every game was Connecticut Sun and the Las Vegas Aces but because of the high odds it is really impossible sometimes, the Lynx just wants another win but Napheesa Collier can not take the Connecticut Sun all alone, the Sun just made an easy win on them  with the Lead of Tiffany Hayes of 21 points, and Dijonai Corrington made a pretty much great point in this game with 17 points winning the game,

Seattle Storm vs Indiana Fever - LOST

My 2nd bet end up in a loss, the Seattle Storm made a strong start making a great tie in the 1st quarter but again the 2nd half is not really looking good for them, and they blew it away, they just have 8 players that day, Jewell Loyd, Ivana Dojkic, and Ezi Magbegor did their best in getting a lead but they have failed to do so, NaLyssa Smith has a great start with a double-double of 14 rebounds and 12 points while Aliyah Boston has a great rebound aswell of 11 rebounds while Kelsey Mitchell got 25 points winning the game,

More and more teams are being qualified on the Riyadh Masters. There are still a lot of slots for the play-in seeds. This mena qualifier is taken with a very short notice and period of time, only 4 teams participants and tomorrow we'll see the qualified team.

It is better for us if there are more teams playing in Riyadh Masters. It has big pot so we know that the competition will be fierce on that tournament. DOTA fans will have a good time watching those games. Also for us bettors, we will have more chance to bet on good teams.



Anyone watching Riyadh Master 2023 MENA Closed Qualifier? You can watch the game in the link below.

It is now the third map between Nigma Galaxy and Team Secret ME. This is a do-or-die series so I am expecting a fierce third map on this one. The winner of this series will face Quest Esports on the grand final and will have a chance to qualify for Riyadh Masters 2023.

It surely is, Sergio Perez is in serious hot water right now regarding his career at Red Bull and Christian Horner is not happy with what is happening with Checo right now, and many in the community that I have seen are talking about Daniel Ricciardo right now a backup driver for Red Bull saying that he was to go back into the grid and likely drive a car, and it is a fairy tail for him compete for the number 1 team, this will surely give pressure to Sergio Perez, but maybe he also is talking like that as wishful thinking, but surely he can also be a replacement for Alpha Tauri because Nyck De Vries is not doing fine, what do you think Daniel Ricciardo will replace Checo, or Sergio Perez will finish his contract until 2024,


I feel sorry for Sergio Perez for having a hard time catching up to Max Verstappen, surely Christian Horner really is giving him some advice on what to do, to stay calm and not worry about anything, I think Horner surely is giving Sergio Perez sometime before giving the Verdict in evicting him to the team, there are still Red Bull fans that want Sergio Perez to stay as the 2nd driver for Red Bull, but I think even though Horner is giving Checo the advice you can not take out the pressure that Checo Perez is having right now if you are on his position I think you would like to feel the heat because your teammate is doing great with the RB19 while Checo Perez is stuck at not getting some improvement,

Nothing a driver can do at such speed to avoid such a bird impact. I think Max didn't even saw the bird , he just felt the impact and it's not the first time this happened in F1 and most likely it will not be the last time. Unfortunately , I remember that only the one who were leading the race were having sad impacts with birds so next time Max , please be 2nd or 3rd Grin

Cheesy I feel likely that you don't really like Max Verstappen that much that you are wishing him to be in the 2nd or 3rd place of the race, well we will see in the next race, but if that Bird did not stop him from being at the 1st position and getting the win for the Canadian GP,


From some of the past races I have seen some close calls when it comes to birds being on the track.
The most talked about one on this very track was a gopher or it could of been a beaver since the track is so close to the river way being hit on the track.
Now this would cause heavy damage to an F1 vehicle traveling at such high speeds so you would not want to hit an animal at anytime during your career during a race because it can cost you those milliseconds off your lap time plus cause downforce the engineers have tried to minimize during the season.
As for being saddened by these incidents @YuginKadoya . Think about how many animals get killed on normal highways considered as a part of everyday driving as they penned the term road kill.

In the Philippines not only have animals been killed by road kills mostly a person was killed, I can say by killer busses because they intentionally will kill the person they would hit by their bus so the bus company will just pay for the funeral service of the victim and not the lifetime support if the victim becomes bedridden for life, sad but it is the truth

So I think it is more OK to hit some animal than to hit some person in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix Esteban Ocon take evasive action to avoid hitting F1 personnel in the pit lane, this is a dangerous scenario that could lead to a gruesome incident, so call it harsh but it is always OK to hit animals than people,

My Bets for today's game for the WNBA

Chicago Sky vs Washington Mystics

The Chicago Sky is playing against the Washinton Mystics for today's game on Wintrust Arena, right now the Injury report for the Chicago Sky is Rebekah Gardner (foot) out, Li Yueru (lower body) out, Isabelle Harrison (knee) out, Ruthy Hebardcan (personal) out, and all can not play for the Sky, while Injury Report for the Washington Mystics, Kristi Toliver (foot) out, Li Meng (personal) out, all can not play for the Mystics and Natasha Cloud (Illness) Questionable if she can play for the Mystics, Right now the Washington Mystics have a large percentage in winning but I will go with the Risky bet, so my bet will be the Chicago Sky,

Minnesota Lynx vs Connecticut Sun

The Minnesota Lynx is playing against the Connecticut Sun for today's game on Target Center, right now the Injury report for the Minnesota Lynx is Aerial Powers (ankle) out, Jessica Shepard (illness) out, Dorka Juhasz (nose) out,  Diamond Miller (ankle) out, and Natalie Achonwa (personal) out, and all can not play for the Minnesota Lynx, while Brionna Jones (leg injury) out, and can not play for the Sun, for this game there are so many injuries for the Minnesota Lynx and the favorite to win is the Connecticut Sun for this game my bet is the Connecticut Sun,

Seattle Storm vs Indiana Fever

The Seattle Storm is playing against the Indiana Fever for today's game on Climate Pledge Arena, right now the injury report for the Seattle Storm is Arella Guirantes (illness) is out, and can not play for the Seattle Storm, while Grace Berger (ankle) out, and is doubtful if she can play for the Fever, and Aliyah Boston (calf injury) out, Victoria Vivians (Concussion) out, and Bernadett Hatar (Suspended) out, all can not play for the Fever, because of this game I think that the Indiana Fever has many injuries but he Seattle Storm is the underdog, for me  think I will net for the Seattle Storm,

It seems that GBP and Ryan is going to be a disputed legal battle, Golden Boy Promotions Files Lawsuit Against Ryan Garcia, Lupe Valencia To Enforce Contract.

We know that this could be brewing for years now, but after Ryan lost to Tank Davis, it seems that his camp is putting the blame to everyone, even firing his training and now are looking to severe his ties with GBP and get out of his contract with Oscar.

Not siding on this one, I will just wait and wait will be the judges decision on this one. But for sure, if there are still fights in Ryan contract, he will have to finished it and then get out os GBP for sure.

We surely don't need to side with either of them but I really wish it will end up with just a talk and not filing a case against anyone, this would surely crack the core of the relationship that they have, and people will not look at both GBP and Ryan Garcia ever the same again after this incident for me all they need to do is just move on with their own life, for Ryan Garcia find a trainer that would likely say and talk about his problem with something, and likely I think Ryan Garcia can always be prepared with his upcoming fights,


Since his quest to take the chance to fight Inoue, he hasn't lost and he fought very well in his last fight motivated to get the chance again in the future but it seems like the decision will be made after Inoue will successfully defeat his opponent in this upcoming fight and hope that it will be Casimero next because both fighters really need to prove their claim and to do that, the answer is just one fight and it won't really matter which place as long as they gonna make it happen right now before it's too late when one of them cannot fight anymore.

If Naoya Inoue lost to Stephen Fulton then John Riel Casimero will have a chance against Fulton for sure to get the belt from him, but that is if Naoya Inoue gets defeated, but if Naoya Inoue won then that likely a chance in taking the fight to Inoue, John Riel Casimero' will be delighted,  because he wants to give revenge to the other pinoy boxer that Naoya Inoue defeated, mostly Nonito Donaire, but this is also the continuation on their postponed fight back then before the pandemic happen,

Now that the UFC Fight Night Las Vegas is settled I think we can move on to UFC Fight Night Jacksonville, where I think this is going to be an interesting event, here is the full card,

UFC on ABC 5: Emmett vs. Topuria

DATE & TIME: 06.24.2023 at 12:00 PM ET
PROMOTION: Ultimate Fighting Championship
VENUE: VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena
LOCATION: Jacksonville, Florida, United States



MAIN EVENT
Josh Emmett VS Ilia Topuria

CO-MAIN EVENT
Amanda Ribas VS Maycee Barber

MAIN CARD
Cody Brundage VS Sedriques Dumas
David Onama VS Gabriel Santos
Brendan Allen VS Bruno Silva

PRELIMINARY CARD
Neil Magny VS Philip Rowe
Zhalgas Zhumagulov VS Joshua Van
Justin Tafa VS Austen Lane
Randy Brown VS Wellington Turman
Mateusz Rębecki VS Loik Radzhabov
Tabatha Ricci VS Gillian Robertson
Trevor Peek VS Chepe Mariscal
Jamall Emmers VS Jack Jenkins
Tatsuro Taira VS Kleydson Rodrigues

All information was from Tapology: https://www.tapology.com/fightcenter/events/99780-ufc-fight-night

Sportsbet Betting and Odds: https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-emmett-vs-topuria/matches


For me, there aren't really much exciting fights in here except for the Main Event, Josh Emmett still has a great record and his fights were really great to watch for sure Yair Rodriguez's fight was stunningly good and Rodriguez had a hard time against Emmett for sure even though Emmett lost that fight and surely those kicks from Yair Rodriguez is solid and brutal to Emmett well it was finished with a triangle choke and it was spectacular what these two have showcased in the fight and after that, Yair Rodriguez shows some respect to Josh Emmett after he taps out, for me Ilia Topuria has a same technique as Yair Rodriguez so a fight with Josh Emmett will be a banger aswell,

Right now as I am posting this the fight for Trevor Peek vs. Victor Martinez was canceled due to Victor Martinez withdrawing from the fight I don't know the reason then Trevor Peek will now face Chepe Mariscal as a substitute fighter for Martinez,

The UFC on ABC 5 Multi-Master Challenge is up and here is the link - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5456992.msg62435568#msg62435568


It wasn't necessarily cancelled but postponed and rescheduled according to this article I found posted yesterday:

source: https://www.sportskeeda.com/mma/ufc-fight-night-marvin-vettori-vs-jared-cannonier

Delaying it for the week after just makes it sound less like either fighter had to pull out due to injury. Thus the entire fight between these two would have to be cancelled and not rescheduled because then it would be at an unknown date at that point.

It was canceled for the UFC Fight Night: Vettori vs. Cannonier, but it was rescheduled in UFC Fight Night Jacksonville but yeah it was postponed and likely reschedule in a better time slot, for me well this is truly a banger fight for sure, Josh Emmett is really durable, but Ilia Topuria will showcase another great fight for sure,

I think Wemby is going to be a bust. He’s just too tall and too young to have the strength he needs to play in the NBA. I think he’s likely to get injured long before he’s established the type of body he will need to compete in the key. I think he’s going to be bullied pretty badly and get hurt. Likely he won’t see much playing time for a while as a result.

If developed properly, he will be successful in NBA. If Spurs gets him, he will be trained and developed by Pop. He is a great coach, and he has handled a lot of foreign talent. I do not think he will waste the talent of Wemby. I remember Giannis was not that buff when he entered the league. Look at him right now. Wemby can be the same as long as he is dedicated to developing his body and skills. His work ethic is a big factor if he will be successful or not in NBA.

I find Wemby similar to Chet Holmgren. The latter missed all the games last season due to an injury, so I hope the same does not happen to Wemby. With all the hype surrounding him and being the number one pick, he is truly a special player. However, it would be unfortunate if his talent goes to waste due to an injury.

What we are discussing here are only possibilities based on what we have seen in the past.

All we can do now is hope that Wemby will be able to add more muscle, making him more competitive once the season begins.

This could not happen overnight. He can develop the muscles and physique needed to be a successful center but that will take time. It is needed but I hope the team will not rush it. Muscles take time to develop. It might even be the cause of injury if you rush it. He is young and has plenty of time to develop his physique and skills. He might not be a big factor immediately but if developed right, he will be a big factor to Spur's success in the future.

Even though the Riyadh Master has quite a large prize pool and is almost similar to TI, the TI tournament is the tournament that every team wants to win later on.
of course. TI is one of the biggest match tournaments in dota 2 with huge prizes so the whole team will fight for the title to get TI dota 2 aegis and of course a huge prize.
from this DPC match we can already predict who has already qualified for TI and who will become the champion of The International dota 2 later. it's not only the dota 2 team that will benefit from the TI tournament later but as bettors we can benefit from betting on this match.

I do not think there is already a runaway winner at this point in the upcoming TI. It is very unpredictable and even good teams at majors falter during The International. I do not think anyone has predicted Tundra will be the champion last year or Team Secret will be the second placer after their horrible season. There are strong teams that are favored to win the TI, but no definite team will win it, or else it will be too boring to watch. Team performance in majors does not correlate to TI championship. It is still anybody's ballgame.

Never really into the women's side of sports but I can adjust to it just like I have at tennis with preferring to betting on the WTA compared to the ATP.
Not too familiar with the teams and definitely not the players but after a few games I am bound to pick up on it. Wink

Does anyone think there will be a special bet available towards the NBA draft for this coming Thursday?
What I recall there was a competition for 6-3 Free last year or a type of multimaster competition on the site under Sportsbet Specials.
Been through so many sporting events since then and they have had so many competitions it is hard to remember actually. Cheesy

Well, it is still basketball the only thing that change is their gender but yeah it is not the same as the NBA, but the action is real and I really think that Women deserve something aswell and their own Basketball League and this is to support the women's that had a dream of becoming a professional basketball player for the NBA but surely the NBA is just for the boys and so WNBA is a thing for them, but surely the WNBA doesn't have many sponsors not like the NBA, and I wish that Sportsbook can also give the WNBA their credit time in getting the best early because it is always late,

Not sure if there would be a special draft bet on Sportsbet, but if there is I think I will likely share it here, right now the 4 - 3 - Free for Sportsbet was all about ENGLAND - HAITI (WOMEN'S WORLD CUP) while the Bet for Free-6-6! was about WOMEN'S WORLD CUP (GROUP STAGE) I really don't know on Thursday if there would be

The casino is all likely the promotion for  Sportsbet they have a daily tournament about it,

Everyone, aren't you hype with this news or did you already see the good news about having an Esports City in Saudi Arabia?


It's gonna be a worth $500M city for building this place. That's a lot of money for the Saudi Arabia to build this but I think that the crowned prince has got the influence on why this has made. If anyone still haven't seen it yet, the prince has always been trending when there's the battle pass for Dota 2.

That is a big thing for esports. The Riyadh Masters already have a huge prize pool, imagine how much more it will get if there is already a dedicated Esports City in Saudi Arabia. It has the potential to be even bigger than the biggest prize pool in TI. It will push Esports to even greater heights. Hopefully, it will become a success because it will cater to a lot of Esports events if that comes to reality.

Even s1mple can't be very consistent regularly these days. This isn't the NaVi team we have known.

He is just human, and he can be inconsistent. And maybe, he is already on the decline in his skills. He has been the top CSGO player for quite some time now, and the fatigue of playing the game must have caught up with him. Younger players have caught up with him and new players are getting better and better.

Did you guys see the OKTAGON 44 fight between Rafael Xavier VS Mateusz Strzelczyk, it was gut-wrenching to watch that fight, the fight was stopped because of a KO/TKO broken leg, a literally broken fractured leg, Rafael Xavier delivers a leg kick but I think Mateusz Strzelczyk Bones was already soft that when kicked by Rafael Xavier it was dislocated it was a loud snap and after Rafael Xavier seen the dislocated leg he immediately hold his head in shocked, here is the video from ScottishProblem Please watch with caution because the following video may contain Gruesome leg snap,



It gives chills to my body just watching it, and it was really gruesome, it seems Mateusz Strzelczyk was just desperately standing so when Rafael Xavier kick Mateusz Strzelczyk near the legs, and when Mateusz Strzelczyk stand his leg snapped really gruesome at the same time very feel sorry about what happened he didn't deserve such lost and he doesn't like that to happen but it really happens I just wish Mateusz Strzelczyk the best and that he will be well and fast recovery to him because that is a hard injury that fighters get hard to come back at, sometimes even if they manage to return they will never become 100% anymore, just like what happened to Anderson Silva,


^  You feel the pain just watching this kind of incident. And sometimes cracking sound resides in your mind for a long time. I still can see and picture Silva and Conor's in my head.

Is Jones paid by PFL to appear face-to-face with Francis? I hope Dana will take it lightly because he'll see by now that he couldn't control everyone. This is still gauging whether fans will still be willing to pay for tickets to their fight. But most probably Francis will fight Wilder first in boxing. I heard they are in discussing all these.

Aw! I remember again the leg snaps of Anderson Silva and Conor McGregor don't forget Chris Weidman in his fight with Uriah Hall, Corey Hill his fight with Dale Hartt, and I think Tom Aspinall against Curtis Blaydes for this kind of gruesome thing to happen I think the fighter that winning this kind of win some don't really feel like winning and feel more of a loss because they can also feel the agony in such injury and I think Uriah Hall interview has said something great about Chris Weidman and man the thing that he has said he was really broken about what happened, and also Curtis Blayes on Tom Aspinall where they also share a beer when Blayes visit Aspinall about his knee, the only one that was half happy about when his opponent broke his legs was Duston Poirier I am saying half happy because he still saying for Conor to be safe going home to his family while McGregor is talking some shit about him,

Yes, and so it also put weight on what Bivol's manager is also saying that's why they didn't accept what the offer by the Canelo's camp. And it looks like they are low balling everyone now and see who is going to bite on their offers.

So it's good that Bivol and Badou stand their grounds and not let Canelo win the psychological battle about the weights and rehydration clause and specially what should be the split between them. And I do agree that maybe they know that Canelo has a couple of fights left so why not just fight for the money as he already cemented his legacy.

A lot of experts are saying that Rehydration Clause is really too much for the body to take and sometimes it will cause brain damage to the boxer and they are not really recommending it, well it is a good stand for Bivol and Badou to not go into Canelo Alvarez terms and I think they all seen the effect of it on Ryan Garcia after his fight with Gervonta Tank Davis, it surely hurt Garcia in a sense he can not take Tank Davis punches and the damage is too much for him, I guess if Canelo Alvarez doesn't really want a fair fight he should have a fight anybody where it was easy for him, I think he is near his retirement for sure,


This will not be far from what happened with Ryan Garcia. A rehydration clause is not an easy task. Imagine just staying thirsty before the fight, it's not just the body that will have a problem but also mentally it could affect him.
A big disadvantage for the Badou Jack's camp if they will agree with this, almost like suicide.  Grin What kind of punches would The Ripper let go? It will not even affect Canelo in that situation.

David Benavidez. Why not? Is the Canelo camp trying to avoid him? I mean, I have seen him challenging the champ for a long time now and there's still no answer yet. I heard there's a chance Canelo will be stripped of his title if he won't fight Benavidez this time. Just take it, it's good money and I bet the pay-per-view amount will be loads of money too.

For me, I think just letting Canelo do his thing and ignoring him, is a better thing to do than going with his Rehydration Clause is just suicide, and yes Badou Jack can not take that kind of thing he might get brain damage because of it, and expert is saying that there should not be Rehydration Clause, or don't accept something like it, Ryan Garcia is just lucky for not having any problems at all or what so ever but I think he now feels the effect of it in his body and I think this might be why he change his trainer for letting him accepting this suicidal fight, against Gervonta Davis,

Ferrari having a better than Mercedes is definitely not what most of us would have assumed, right guys? I don't want to build up too much hope anymore for Leclerc but it's really good to see him making better positions now, and 4/5 finish is actually to me preferable to only 1 car podium and other out of top 10.

Well, for me I am not really hoping for Ferrari to be on Podium actually I think I have more faith in Mercedes making it to the podium more often than Ferrari, the problem with Ferrari was not really the Machines but the lack of driver experience, consistent in making mistake within the race was Ferrari's failure, I think Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc needs more time to be on a level that they can attain a podium more often in every race, but me I am seeing Mercedes and Aston Martin having a chance to take the crown from Verstappen,


I guess so. But I still wish someone would have stepped in for me and told me earlier to help me see what I was doing to myself. Someone eventually did and I'm so glad, because maybe today I would still be doing it if that person didn't intervene. I got back so much after leaving it all in the past few years, my work is so much better, my health, my family etc. I'm enjoying life much more. I never say it's bad for anyone, don't think I ever said "waste of life". I always gave my thoughts based on myself and what it did to me Smiley I do agree that people shoudl do whatever they enjoy. But if you do see them not enjoying other aspects of life because of one major thing sucking out the enjoyment from other things, I think a real friend would step in and just check.

By the way to tell you, great win on the pool!!

For me, a true friend will always step in for you and would always say that a thing you are doing is bad, and he will not want you to get hurt, for me that friend of yours needs to be cherished for life that kind of friend will likely help you in times of trouble and will always be there for you, will not abandoned you for sure,

I was expecting a better Mercedes also. The mercedes driver punctured a tire, broke the rim, damaged the wing, reached the pits and returned to the race. this guy is 8-9 in a situation where he should beat even the 19th rank. In the following laps, if DNF did not exist, he would have scored again. In most races, there are 3-4 second differences between the pilots of each team. Either there are 10 drivers on the grid, 10 goodies or there is something else behind this. All 10 teams strategize to protect their qualifying wins rather than compete. It turned into a strange situation where red flags were raised at the slightest rain, and the drivers were driving like turtles to avoid an accident. Managers and team managers urgently need to change their minds.

George Russell hits the barrier so badly that his back wheel was wobbling this looks like a red flag but still he gets to the pit with that Wibbly tire and regained momentum toward the race, and got past both Yuki Tsunoda and Kevin Magnussen that took a yellow flag, George Russell coming back like this was really amazing, but was out because the front left brake was too high, and if he doesn't have any technical difficulties with his car maybe he can retake his position back he was at position 8 when he retires his car,

This trade pretty much guarantees that CP3 will never get a ring. Being traded to Washington and playing on a rebuild roster has to be disheartening for him, but he will be a veteran for the younger players to look up to.

He is a good leader to the young players just like how he led the young OKC a few years back to the playoff. That team was also in a rebuilding process but CP3 was able to bring that team to the playoff and performed well. There is something in him that the young players find great inspiration. That is what will be lacking with the Suns next season. I believe the success of the Suns in recent years was because of the leadership of Chris Paul.

Phoenix on the other hand just got way better. Beal is a beast. Suns got a shooter to go along with Booker, Durant, and Ayton. Should be an interesting season for the Suns next season.

This is interesting in the sense that who will be the Alpha of this team? Durant has more success, but he did not bring good leadership to Brooklyn when he went there. Will he be a better leader in Phoenix? Booker was with the team longer and has been the franchise player. Will he relinquish leadership to Durant now that CP3 is out?

The Suns might turn into another Brooklyn Nets, with 3 superstars and with no role and bench players on their roster. So I don't see it as a good trade for the Suns though. Why not just trade CP3 for a good point guard or center as Ayton is also going to leave?

And those three are pure offensive superstars. None of them can really defend. So the role players they should get should be great defenders that will complement these three. We all know that without defense, any team will have a hard time getting a championship. That was already done in Houston and it got them nowhere. Hopefully, the Sun is not making the same mistake.

They couldn't get it done on the last map and PSG.LGD knew they can't allow the TA to snowball, so they went for rosh around the 15 min mark to disrupt their early power spike.

EG stumbled on their high ground defense when PSG LGD poke their high ground tower after securing the first Roshan. It was like they suddenly lost coordination and one by one they fall. They wasted the power spike that TA have since we saw that he can easily delete windranger.



Here is my bet on the games today.

I agree that PSG LGD vs Talon will go the long way. Talon has shown that they can beat chinese teams and they are really performing well in this tournament. But they cannot easily put away PSG LGD since they too are performing well.

Team Spirit vs Bet Boom can also take the full series. I am basing my bet on the fact that the recent matches of Bet Boom all go the full series. I am thinking this will be the same since Team Spirit is not an easy team to beat.

I was late in checking the result of the Bellator 297, and actually, I was just watching the recap of the fight so yeah, but here are the result of my picks,

Vadim Nemkov vs Yoel Romero - WIN

After watching the fight it is kind of weird for me to see Yoel Romero doing his drunken thingy technique which is only effective on Nemkov at first but doing this more often Vadim Nemkov is not that simple-minded to not notice this and so Yoel Romero kept this and played in the hands of Nemkov until round 4 so Vadim Nemkov outstrikes Yoel Romero towards the fight the only round for Yoel Romero was his wrestling game on the last round where it was shown that it was really effective against Nemkov, and I think if Romero keeps this up he might win the fight for sure,

Sergio Pettis vs Patricio Pitbull - LOST

Now if Vadim Nemkov outstrikes the former UFC fighter, Romero, in this match, the former UFC fighter Sergio Pettis outstrikes Patricio Pitbull this time, I really thought it was a close match but looking at the fight carefully Pettis really outdid the striking against Pitbull and Patricio Pitbulls wrestling game has no effect because of the good takedown defense Pettis have it was not really a crazy of a fight and for many, it was a close match for sure but Patricio Pitbull really has no chance against the stand-up against Sergio Pettis, the new Bellator Champion,

Logan Sargeant was the 1st to get the red flag and didn't finish the race, while on lap 12 George Russell hit the barrier it was a terrible smash for George Russell's right wing was gone and the back wheel wobbled and likely he gets the get flag, while in the pit Lewis Hamilton nearly hit Fernando Alozo in the pits, Lando Norris is showing good racing here taking the position from his teammate Oscar Piastri, then taking Valtteri Bottas, and then Kevin Magnussen, then Lap 22 Fernando Alonzo gets the position of Lewis Hamilton for the 2nd place position, while lap 35 Nyck De Vries is having trouble with Kevin Magnussen while the two is fighting it then a yellow flag from both drivers banging their wheels and stuck in the corner, but at the end of the race Max Verstappen still gets it done getting the win in the Canadian GP for 2023 and alongside him in the podium will be Fernando Alonso 2nd and Lewis Hamilton at 3rd,

The suspension almost certainly means that Morant will not be eligible for any end-of-season awards in 2024, such as MVP and All-NBA. Under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement that goes into effect July 1, a player must appear in 65 games (with limited exceptions) to be eligible for awards.

I know it could have been worse, but this is significant enough, however If the Grizzlies can survive and be a good position for those 25 games, then it could be a blessing in disguise for them having the best player heavily refreshed with 25 games gone already could put them in better spot for a potential post season run.

Good thing Memphis has good role players on their lineup. I think even when Morant was out last season, they are still on the winning side of the team rank. So missing him for 25 games may not have much effect on the team considering that Morant will continue to be in top shape even when suspended. It will be bad if Morant loses his shape during his suspension and will have a hard time coming back after the 25-game suspension. The team should make sure that Morant is not slacking off during those time so that he is still game ready when the suspension is over.

Quote
As he explained to ESPN's Malika Andrews, he left the Finals MVP trophy in the room of longtime Nuggets equipment manager Sparky Gonzales.
Who will not love this guy? Down to earth. Not pretending. So honest. Funny.
I believe he is going to get one more ring, maybe two if the roster will be intact, without injuries. As I said in my previous posts, Jamal Murray will be one of the key ingredients for another championship. Hopefully, their management won't break that duo.
The team is very young and healthy. This duo can start a dynasty if the team will not break them. They are in their prime and Jokic's game is very effective in today's NBA. As long as the management will keep on surrounding these two with good role players, they will dominate the league.

Remember when Jamal was injured, Jokic was still able to carry the team to the playoffs. Now that Jamal is healthy, and hopefully, he will stay healthy, he will be a great help to Jokic to keep on winning. As long as the team does not make drastic changes, they can continue winning. The only thing that I see that could probably break this duo and their success is the salary ceiling. When these two get max contract, it will be hard for the team to surround them with good role players.
