481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: May 15, 2023, 10:58:32 PM

I think the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix is one of the worst tragedies that ever occur in F1 history and it was named the Imola cursed weekend Rubens Barichello crashed but luckily survive with a broken nose, but Roland Ratzenberger and the 3-time champion Ayrton Senna were both unfortunate with their gained injuries, Ayrton Senna was one of the notable racers in the F1 1988, 1990, and 1991 champion, until Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost got their shot on the title for 1992 and 1993 until the 1994 tragedy happens and Michael Schumacher was born as a champion in the 1994 F1 San Marino Grand Prix, and that tragedy was never going to be forgotten because of the casualties when Michael Schumacher becomes champion,


After seeing that video from the previous Imola Circuit in 1994 I was really shocked and goosebumps were all over me from just watching it, and thinking about those drivers that suffers a crash on that particular day, Michael Schumacher was pretty much lucky, and from that day he becomes champion I think this is the 1st Michael Schumacher got his championship and the rest are history, and I surely agree that this is one of the worst F1 race in history that got 2 deaths and 3 collisions in just 1 series,

Well, I need to add up that the Imola 1994 was history how I wish that the curse was lifted up and that tragic accidents would not happen again, and As I have noticed the barrier were now replaced with soft rubbery so cars would just bounce back to it and not crash into the barrier and likely catch fire, well i am still praying that nothing like that would likely happen,

Brad Pitt situation is a bit difficult situation because you can't really "fake" driving an F1 car, it is just not possible. You can CGI whatever you want into it, there is nothing wrong with that, they make aliens fight predators, I am sure they can make Brad Pitt drive a car, that's not the point. However, anyone who watches F1 for real, which I am sure will watch this movie as well, could tell apart the difference between really driving and movie driving.

Like even in most situations of racing in movies, we can tell it apart already, I would give FF series as example but they became superhero movies after a while so it is not really shocking. All in all I would just guess that it is going to end up with nothing too serious, sort of like Christ Hemsworth movie, more about out of race and not during the race, just a small period of racing involved in all of the movie I suppose.

Well seeing the news Brad Pitt is really driving a car but not an F1 but an F2 model closer to an F1 it is likely a much slower version of the F1 version but still actors got to ride on a real thing at least they can and knowing the director of Ton Gun he will surely get his actors to do the real deal so for sure fans of the F1 if they watch the movie they can still feel and see that the actors are surely driving a real thing,

I am waiting for Casimero and Nghitumbwa's fight. While waiting, I happen to see a live stream and there's the underdog fighting.
Another Filipino Boxer, Weljon Mindoro versus a Japanese fighter Takeshi Inoue. The round is currently at 10/12 and about to close the match soon. I guess this will end with a unanimous decision. Both are tough fighters and this is a good appetizer before watching the main event.

Not a good call for the Filipino fighter to take the unlikely draw decision for the judge's scorecards against Takeshi Inoue but still a pretty much interesting fight to watch look if the judges do the scoring right the match is so much close that I can not say for sure you got to check a strike by strike look for both fighters, to surely see if what has happened with the fight,

I read that Oscar is criticizing Ryan Garcia now, or at least giving him a advise as per what I read here:

Quote
“Ryan Garcia has to rearrange his team, his inner circle,” De La Hoya told FightHubTV, “and then take it from there. And take boxing seriously and train harder and train smarter and have an actual training camp up in the mountains where you’re focused, where you have tunnel vision, that’s my opinion.”

https://www.boxingscene.com/de-la-hoya-says-ryan-garcia-needs-shake-up-his-team-implores-him-take-boxing-seriously-train-harder--174546

So maybe what we heard from Reynoso and Canelo Alvarez is true, that Ryan Garcia is not taking training seriously or not giving it 100% every fight. And now that he face a fighter that is elite, he was exposed, got knock out, first time in his career.

And maybe who knows, after this contract with Oscar will expire, we might see him moving and looking for a new manager.

We can never expect that was the case for Ryan Garcia but it could also be true as a kid he thinks maybe there is no need for training at all and maybe it is just OK to make some instant training with the punching bag and have a self-confidence like Ryan Garcia is if this is true then it is a good thing that he losses his fight against Gervonta Davis and this could be a wake-up call for him, that he still young that needs to have the experience of how to lose, maybe it is time for Ryan Garcia to wake up from all the fantasies he is getting for hanging out with Logan Paul and take boxing more seriously,

That was insane 34 pounds heavier than Jailton Almeida is really insane now I don't know if Jailton Almeida can takedown Jairzinho Rozenstruik without hurting himself, for this fight I really don't know if Almeida can take Jairzinho Rozenstruik to the ground but maybe there are still a chance and way Almeida know Brazilian Jui-Jitsu so he got way in taking down Jairzinho Rozenstruik, for sure, he just needs to find that opening, if the double-leg takedown is proven not effective for Rozenstruik, I think Almeida will need to resort in different techniques for his takedowns,


Jairzinho Rozenstruik was really 34 pounds heavier than Almeida that is why I have gone and bet for him I just didn't post it here, but anyway I really thought that Jailton Almeida will be having a hardtime taking the fight to the ground because Jairzinho Rozenstruik is heavier but I was wrong I really underestimated Almeida so much that he can surely trip Jairzinho Rozenstruik down for a takedown and that is all history I am not really well-versed in MMA and all you guys have said that a strikers weakness was a wrestler and I never believed you guys,

But moving on I guess we have a boring fight and it is between two women Mackenzie Dern VS Angela Hill

I think for now will be skipping this event and will never be betting on it for now,

Didn't realize his UFC event started so early on this Saturday.
According to the markets I am looking at, the very first bout Jessica-Rose Clark vs Tainara Lisboa is within the next 2 hours.

Didn't even have time to put in my bets yet.
Don't make the same mistake and put in your selections early here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/mma/ufc/ufc-fight-night-rozenstruik-vs-almeida/matches


I only bet on the Main-Event the Jairzinho Rozenstruik VS Jailton Almeida and it was a crushing defeat I think I will call it a day 1st in the UFC, and focus on betting for other sports event, but I will surely check out this thread for some of your posted predictions but yeah it was a mistake in taking the striker side than a wrestler side but pretty much there are other opportunities and surely waiting for UFC 289 | Nunes vs. Aldana event,

if there are any left to play. Realistically, We will not win gold this time because we know how desperate the host team is.

Semi-Finals later on @ 6PM, May 15, between the Philippines and the defending Champion Indonesia. For a recap for those who are not aware, Indonesia upsets the Gilas Pilipinas last year and dethrone the PH team as the King of Men's Basketball in South East Asia for 33 years.

Revenge time later for Gilas and surely they will be pumped up for a chance for a Gold Medal Finals game.

Cambodia, who upsets Gilas on their bracket, will probably meet again the PH for the Finals game if they will win against Thailand in their Semi-Finals game.

Oh I remember that. They did drop the ball against Indonesia last year. But I think they have a better lineup right now and they could win it this time around. Hopefully, Gilas will have no more injuries so they can play their full against Indonesia.

I made a bet for Gilas and the home team Cambodia to win their semifinal matches.




We have a better line up this year and I’m expecting a more competitive Gilas this time. We still have a chance to get the gold and I think we are getting there slowly but surely. Let’s support Gilas all out as well.

I believe our lost against Indonesia last year was just a fluke and we are still the most dominant basketball country in Southeast Asia. So I am sure we will win the gold as long as our players play hard and the

venue permits,

The other teams that I think will make the round are Heroic,Vitality,G2,Fnatic,Faze,Furia and Ence.
G2, FaZe, and Furia are on 0-2 elimination matches today. RIP our Pick'ems Cheesy FaZe and G2 looking really weak, getting sent down to 0-2 by arguably the weakest teams, i.e. BNE and ITB. To be fair it was a BO1, but still disappointing regardless. Hopefully, we can see their better form in the BO3 matches today.

Navi is also not in their prime yesterday, getting schooled by Liquid in CT side inferno 14-1. Something is wrong and S1mple missing easy shots didn't help. The only strong contenders for the title now are Heroic and Vitality. Betting on them to get that 3-0 wins.


It has been on a downhill for some time now so it is not surprising that they will lose but to the weakest team, that is a new low for them. I do not know what happened to them, but they do not seem to get the frags that they used to.

Vitality was also in a downhill performance, but it is good to see them getting back on track. I am not betting on them though. Maybe I can on Heroic but I am still 50-50 on Vitality.

I thought Ja Morant got some help this time because he said it himself before that he will take what happened to him seriously for him to be a better version, but what happened is the better version is his worse. Seriously though, this kid should be surrounded with people that have real goals to help him achieve his full potential in the court and not being a gangsta when they aren't.

Remember that a real gangsta like Damian Lillard is not even bragging it, he knows what's the true meaning of it unlike Ja here who just wanted to be the next Ja Wick, but the worse version.

His suspension is nothing to what he is earning from NBA. If they really want to teach Ja Morant a lesson, they should hit him with something that could hurt him. He has not learned anything if he has done it again. I think the previous statement that he got helped and everything, is just a press release written by a corporate lawyer or something. He did not really get help. His talent will be wasted if he continues to act like this. He has not even proven anything in NBA yet and he acts like this.

By the way, game 7 between Philly and Boston just got started. I want Philly to win but they might lose their chances when they let Boston force this deciding game. 

Not the game 7 of a playoff series that I am expecting. It was a blowout game. Jason Tatum was unstoppable. I think he made 50+ points in that game. He redeemed himself after a few bad games in this series. The stars of Philadelphia are nowhere to be found. I bet for Boston in this game because of the record of Doc Rivers not being able to win on a game 7 and this proves to be the right call.

Embid already seems to be the most over rated MVP in the league history. He's soft and can't even pick up his team in any aspect of basketball. Can't score at will against decent guards. Can't guard against decent centers or power forwards, he can pass and create space but it's at a bare minimum at this point. The 76ers are absolutely getting destroyed against the Celtics in game 7 with almost 30 points lead, going into the 4th qtr. Absolutely no hopes from them and with even harden being shut down. The game has been tragic after the first qtr. I just wanted to watch competitive basketball..a thriller of a game 7. Nope, not tonight.

He is exposed today. Jason Tatum had a field day on him. The Boston Celtics took advantage of the pick-and-roll because he can't guard the guards of Boston. Another disappointing season ending for the 76ers. I thought they would be able to win it all this season since they are really good this year. They have the right roster to win but they failed again in the second round this year.

I almost forgot that Celtics vs 76ers game is early and almost missed making a bet.  Luckily I caught the first quarter and made a bet.

Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers

Doc Rivers has 32 losses in a potential series-clinching playoff game. That is the most in NBA history. And now on the road against the Boston Celtics, the odds are against the Philadelphia 76ers in clinching the series against the Boston Celtics. There is no telling which team deserves the win better since both teams have worked hard to reach this far this season. But if we follow the history of Doc Rivers losing game 7 of a playoff series, it is almost certain that they will lose this game. Maybe they will win but I am betting on the Celtics on this one.

Speaking of Old G, it seems that PuckChamp has taken the entire roster. So coming from Old G, they're now Puckchamp. Will still wait for the official announcement.


I think I saw a news article earlier that OLD G bought PuckChamps slot in Div 2 so they won't have to go through the qualifiers.

https://dotesports.com/dota-2/news/old-g-buy-their-way-out-of-dota-pro-circuit-relegation-avoid-open-qualifier-grind-despite-ban

As the article says, this does not guarantee that OLD G could retain their slot. They need to fight harder this time since TI 12 is already near. They need to take this seriously and that means bootcamp, scrimmage and all. I think this team still have what it take to be great but they should put the effort now.
489  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another betting fraud in Brazil - part 2 on: May 13, 2023, 09:00:14 PM
I am not surprised, because such will happen where there is less payment for the players, In my country players are been paid higher fee to lose a match that's why I am not surprised, it's better to focus on popular league matches like Seria A and La Liga.

But seriously, something like this can be going on in the background too, how will anyone know that big leagues are clean of bribing too? There is no way you will know, but the only thing that makes me believe that bigger leagues are safer is because they are well-paid.

Higher payments get rid of bad intentions and bribery in sports.

It will probably lessen the likelihood of players getting involved but I do not think it will totally solve the problem. This kind of problem has been going around for a long time already and it can affect all kinds of sports whether it is small league or not. As long as there is gambling in any sport, gamblers will try to do this. I think it is the responsibility of the league to spot immediately if any of the players or teams are involved in any manipulation of the games. They cannot stop casinos from operating so they cannot stop malicious entities to try to manipulate the games. All they can do is try to spot any manipulation immediately and punish anyone involved heavily. Hopefully, it will be enough deterrent to keep the manipulation to a minimum.

I'm thinking Denver makes it to the Finals but not sure who they will face from the East. None of the teams are really dominant. My guess is probably Boston Celtics pull out the win and it's Denver vs Boston for the title. Jokic gets a ring. Just my guess though.

I think whoever comes out of the series between Philadelphia and Boston will be exhausted. They will have difficulty dealing with Jimmy Butler and the rest of the Miami Heat. But I also think whoever wins in Boston vs Philadelphia series will eventually win the Eastern Conference Finals. I agree that the Nuggets might be the ones who will win the Western Conference Finals. They are dominant right now. I will be happy if any of these teams win the Championships. Whether it is Jimmy, Jason Tatum, Embiid, or Jokic. They deserve to finally get a ring.

Too bad for GSW, I really thought they will have a great win today but the result is different, I lose a bet but its good to see how GSW played the game, they still tried their best and fell short, come back stronger GSW!
I also bet for them and thought they could extend the series to game 7 but the shooting just did not come with them in this game. Too bad that Curry does not get help from the other offensive players on the team but that is what GSW is. They live and die with their 3-point shooting. It is a double edge sword. If they get a hot hand, they'll win. If it is cold, they lose.

Anyway, Westbrook is no longer part of the Lakers so technically there's no chance for him to get a ring.
If the Lakers win it all this year, Westbrook will get a ring since he played a big chunk of the season with the Lakers. Even though he was traded out of the team, He can still get a ring. It is not the ideal way to get a ring, but they are still entitled to get a ring.

I also don't see a clear winner but Lakers is probably going to have a harder time than Denver. Ok, Lebron is amazing and another amazing thing is that he is doing these at his age. That is really crazy how he can be this effective at this age. The game intelligence and sharpness are unbelievable. Does what the team needs; He assists the team when necessary, or leaves the ball to the hot player, and finds his own score when necessary. When his shot doesn't go in, he goes to the basket. He contributes to the defense with rebounds and blocks even when he falls short of his standards in offense. In a word, it's magnificent. And to think that they almost didn't make the playoffs. But Denver is also on fire and their core players have been playing together for a long time now. There might not be a clear winner of this series but Denver seems more favourable.

I totally agree. The chemistry that the Nuggets have built over the years cannot be taken for granted. That is why they are on the top right now. I think if the Nuggets have been healthy this past few years, they could have dominated the league earlier. Luckily this year, all their cores are healthy in the playoffs. If they stay healthy and with the way they are playing right now, I doubt the Lakers will be able to beat them.
491  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: NBA 2020-2021 betting on: May 12, 2023, 10:45:27 PM
We gotta see that later on then and yeah they can win without him and they are capable with that but that performance he gives on game 5 is something and if they miss him for tonight's game I guess it will have a huge impact to their offense.


Well, if he is really injured then I think they can not do anything about it but I am just saying if he is not available, and yes he is providing the team with huge points and impact that they need but if he is not available what gives, but yeah posterizing Anthony Davis surely have a cost,



Picks for today's game

Miami Heat vs New York Knicks

The Miami Heat will take on the New York Knicks in Game 6 for their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Kaseya Center, right now Tyler Herro can not play for the Heat this could be an exploding moment for Jimmy Butler again while Jalen Brunson will surely answer those points of his own, even though he got a 38 points score last game, I think Jimmy can make a difference in this game right now, I think the Heat is now aware of Jalen Brunson got the potential in leading this team so they need to finish this game 6 so my pick is the Miami Heat
Key Injuries: Tyler Herro (hand) is out, for the Heat, - Immanuel Quickley (Ankle) is out, for the Knicks,


Los Angeles Lakers vs Golden State Warriors

The Golden State Warriors will take on the Lakers in Game 6 for their Western Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Crypto.com Arena, Right now Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Andrew Wiggins are questionable if they can play for the Warriors for this game if Andrew Wiggins can not play then they need to rely on any players that have something like Wiggins, and Jonathan Kuminga need to step up his game and prove them he can do it, but yeah the Warriors need to win this for the game to go back at Chase Center while the Lakers will need to finish the Warriors because it is also crucial for them if the game is Switch back to the Chase Center but for now the Warriors will not let that happen, so my pick is the Golden State Warriors,
Key Injuries: Andrew Wiggins (Ribs) is Questionable, Patrick Baldwin Jr. (Toe) is Questionable for the Warriors - Mo Bamba (ankle) is questionable,
Anthony Davis (Head) is Questionable, and LeBron James (Foot) is Questionable for the Lakers,

That is right if Jairzinho Rozenstruik catches Jailton Almeida with a punch and a follow-up that will be a good win for Jairzinho Rozenstruik, however, Jairzinho Rozenstruik can not underestimate the explosiveness of Jailton Almeida for sure those double leg takedowns was pretty much fast, but if Rozenstruik was pretty much heavier than Jailton Almeida he might have a hard time lifting and taking Rozenstruik to the ground this is another problem I have seen for Almeida, and if Rozenstruik would likely have a good takedown defense, but for me, Almeida is pretty much well-rounded so he can surely goes into standing with Rozenstruik but it is a bit risky for sure,

Now I will share a video about Jairzinho Rozenstruik

Top Finishes

And the Top Finishes for the other fight in the upcoming event

Top Finishes | UFC Charlotte

I think I will have a take for the upcoming UFC event watching the power of Jairzinho Rozenstruik he really has the punching power 1 punch is all he needs to win this fight for me it looks like Jailton Almeida is slow to evade those punches my opinion and Jairzinho Rozenstruik blitz punches is really fast, while Jailton Almeida does have a fast and good double leg takedown but surely I think Jairzinho Rozenstruik has a good takedown defense and Jailton Almeida would really have a hard time taking Jairzinho Rozenstruik to the ground with his official weight of 265 lbs while Almeida was 231 lbs he Almeida will have a hard time taking him down, Jairzinho Rozentruik has a 34 pounds edge over Almeida,

Although I want this to extend but I took that -3.5 handicap in favor of the Lakers considering Wiggins is still questionable too for Game 6 and even if they have him it seems Warriors are not that good on road game and Lakers win all of their home games in this play-in and playoffs games. Draymond was really great during that game 5 though but not expecting it tonight.

Although he got a rib injury I really think that Wiggins will still play for the Warriors despite that questionable injury he has, but the team Warriors is not really limited they can win even without Andrew Wiggins, and if the referee will not interfere with those fouls giving the Lakers more free throws then I think the Warriors will likely win this game, but for sure the Lakers will always have their chance but for me, it will end on game 7,

My bets results both are a win for me,

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics - WIN

Boston Celtics has manage to win Jaylen Brown got 17 points Jayson Tatum got 19 points and Marcus Smart got 22 for this game, This is the moment of truth for this team now that the Celtics have tied the game it was really a hard game for them because 7 players were all they have playing against the 76ers, I really don't know what happen but somehow the Celtics manage to tie the game to pursue to game 7,

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets - WIN

While this is goodbye for the Phoenix Suns well there was a lot of drama that happen in the ending of the Suns, and it was Deandre Ayton that they put the blame on which is not wrong and not right aswell, for me Deandre Ayton is one of the good guys, a humble guy that doesn't have a max contract I really think Ayton is playing this way and not really consistent was because of he thought that he would get a max contract this season but end up no max contract and the coach hate him so much that he wants Ayton to of the Roster of the Suns,

494  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 12, 2023, 03:01:35 PM

Correct.
I was looking for the big main event this Saturday and I found none and here it is in the Main Card which I missed. I will definitely support our fellow Filipino boxer here. I want to see if another champion will be added to the list before the Donaire fight. He may be an underdog but so do Marlon Tapales when he fought Murodjon Akhmadaliev and won in a split decision.
@2.04 for Astrolabi and @1.76 for Moloney. It's not that much of a difference and I think he has a good chance to get the WBO bantamweight title.

Yup! Even though Vincent Astrolabio is an underdog in this fight he certainly has some experience to keep it in his favor and together and get the fight, Vincent Astrolabio also can surprise everyone with a big win or a big comeback most Filipino boxers doing right now this fight will be on Sunday morning or Saturday night for us, in the Philippines I think, which is pretty much a great time to set up a good bet but I would think of it 1st because I will be betting for the UFC aswell because UFC fights maybe are the same day as the Alimkhanuly vs. Butler fight, and will check my budget 1st,


I'm in with Canelo vs Benavidez right, Canelo should go with David and proved everything wrong that he is past his prime. Benadivez Sr, says that Canelo looks terrible against John Ryder and people in Mexico expecting him to score a knockout and that Mexicans are disappointed with the Canelo performance. So for sure Canelo and his camp read this comment from Sr., so let's see if they will choose a young fighter or rematch Bivol.


Canelo Alvarez might have had a terrible performance but at least he won the fight yeah there is much negative feedback regarding the fight that Canelo should have scored a knockout instead of a decision win at least that is what most of his fans wants as a result of the fight but surely Canelo Alvarez can not give it, this is a sure picked fight but Canelo Alvarez is having a hard time with Ryder,

A boxer's life is always on the line.

4 days ago, a young boxer Kenneth Egano from General Santos City, Philippines won a fight against Jason Facularin in Imus, Cavite Philippines. Upon winning, he didn't even have the energy to be on the referee's side to raise his hands or even heard the announcer that he won the fight because he was already in the corner collapsed, and being tended by his team.
He was rushed to the hospital and was in a coma for 4 days before he died today. 22 years old. So young and has so much future ahead of him.

Manny Pacquiao covered all the expenses for his recovery but there was nothing they could do to save him. Another sad day for Philippine boxing.
This is a reminder that we cannot just underestimate what the boxers are risking when they step on the ring.

It was a sad thing to happen it was another tragic death in the world of boxing surely that headshot can surely cause a concussion if the head was punched several times maybe on the back of the head of Kenneth Egano it was really a great fight to watch but the boxer isn't really aware that he already has damage in his brain, you can see that the fight was finished and Kenneth Egano has a happy face withstanding the fight but It was his last smile, then he collapsed all of a sudden watching the fight I have noticed that Jason Facularin has some shots that were near on the back of Egano's head and I really don't know if this is the cause of Egano's Collapse, but this is the real danger of boxing, a sports that we thing is more safer than MMA,

These two teams that came from play-in tournament do really have a good chance in upsetting their respective opponents (#8 Heat beating the #5 Knicks and #7 Lakers beating the #6 Warriors) and currently they are still leading the series after the loss they've got last night. But just like their chances, the Knicks and Warriors does have a good chance as well to move-on towards the Conference Finals. The upcoming games will be much tougher and tighter as neither team is willing to give-up.

The Conference Semi-Finals are not finished yet, game 6 wasn't so sure who was going to win either, but you can never know the Fatigue of Jimmy Butler and Lebron James for the next game, and right now if Anthony Davis can not play on game 6 the unexpected can occur, and the Warriors or the Knicks may have shifted the following win, we can never say for sure if game 6 can be the last day for this series because many are expecting a game 7 and that could be a very profitable thing for the corporation,

AD being injured is the whole story, there is nothing else to talk about. If AD comes back and it is not a big deal then we can see them get a win again and finish this 4-2 easily, if not at worst case 4-3, because we can clearly see that Lakers is the better team and if AD doesn't return and Lebron has to cary, he could go berzerk and do like 40-15-10 type of thing which he has done before against Warriors and even though he is older, his mind is sharper than ever and he gets to see what they will do before they do it and he can definitely attack the weaknesses as well.

He has been doing that a bit, but not a lot, because AD can solve the riddle easily so far, but if AD is missing things may end up changing a lot, things will be very equal by that point.

Anthony Davis is the key to the Los Angeles Lakers Success to win, if he is not in game 6 or even game 7 this could be a potential loss for the Lakers, the championship is surely in their grasp just 1 more win and they can make it, that is why Lebron James is so much frustrated about it but when the game return to the Chase Center that will be a crucial moment for the Lakers,


Yes, Brunson performed well as the Knicks were able to beat the Heat thanks to his 38 points. However, it's also worth noting that Brunson was on the court for 48 minutes. In other words, Thibodeau didn't let him rest during the game at all, and it seems to me that it's not a good coach's strategy because it's a big stress for Brunson's body, and he might not have enough time to recover before the next game.

Jalen Brunson was a monster in their last game against the Miami Heat, he scored 38 points he is like entering a phase where he is unbeatable now but surely it will go down to how much he could contribute in the next game, I really think that Jimmy Butler is just fatigue right now and will surely need some rest just a 1 day rest will be enough, making a consecutive win like that is pretty much exhausting,

After watching this little preview video from the UFC, I have a higher admiration for Almeida now.
Rozenstruik vs Almeida - Victory in Sight | UFC Charlotte
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kObD6_uAiXA

I see Rozenstruik's fighting style more like the black beast derrick lewis.
Where he lunges whenever he throws a forward punch.
This is a dangerous way to fight with a wrestler like Almeida is where he can look for the tell tale signs of when he is about to shoot that forward motion and quickly counter it with a takedown, then it is all over.

@owengtam09
Very nice layout for the media day coverage. Thanks for this and looking forward to the weigh-ins and the press conference happening later on today.

After seeing the videos and some fights for Rozenstruik and Almeida I now have an insight into what may happen in the fight but surely this is my 1st time in the UFC, so I really need to think twice before getting into something, thanks to you guys for the explanation and video's you all provide it simply help and I have seen that in heavyweight most of the fights ends up so fast because of those heavy blows that ended up the fight quickly, and Jairzinho Rozenstruik is a good example for that Jairzinho Rozenstruik most of his fights end up 2 to 1 round only if he catches his opponents with his punch it is all over while Jailton Almeida is the same the fight will end on 1 to 2 rounds aswell, but the different thing here is mostly his fight ends up in the ground Jailton Almeida is a different fighter than Rozenstruik, and after thinking about it Jailton Almeida can surely control Rozenstruik on the ground and those takedowns will surely destroy the Rhythm of Jairzinho Rozenstruik it will be a good fight for sure and just like you I now got high admiration for Almeida aswell,

Picks for games today

Philadelphia 76ers vs Boston Celtics

The Boston Celtics will take on the Philadelphia 76ers in game 6 for their Eastern Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Wells Fargo Center right now the 76ers are on the lead and Joel Embiid is questionable right now if he can play for the 76ers while Danilo Gallinari can not play for the Celtics, Even without Embiid you will never know if James Harden may explode a 40 plus points game, but I think Embiid will play but for me, I think that the Boston Celtics will not let it end here like that so my pick is the Boston Celtics,
Key Injuries: Joel Embiid (Knee) is questionable - Danilo Gallinari (Knee) is out

Phoenix Suns vs Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets will take on the Phoenix Suns in game 6 for the Western Conference Semi-Finals tonight at Footprint Center, right now the nuggets are in the lead, Jamal Murray is questionable right now if he can play for the Nuggets while Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton can not play for the Suns, right now the Suns is in the tight spot 1 more win for the Nuggets and the Suns will be out, for this game I think that the injuries for the Suns is badly needed for defensive play needed, Deandre Ayton is much needed inside so for this game I think I am going towards the Nuggets to end the Suns at game 6,
Key Injuries: Jamal Murray (Illness) is questionable - Chris Paul (Groin) is out, Deandre Ayton (Ribs) is out,

Right now, the Heat are on the road of doing a bit of a history.

They're one win away from reaching the Conference Finals. There is only one team who won the Conference Finals as the 8th seed, and that's the Knicks way back 98-99 season. Though they lost in the NBA Finals, they still made history. With how the Heat are playing right now, they're on the road to become the 2nd team to do it. I just don't know if they have the capabilities to win against the winner of the Sixers/Celtics match-up. Overall, the Heat are playing very impressive in this playoffs, defeating the top favorite to win the title which is the Bucks, and now one win away from clinching to the Conference Finals.

We can not say for sure tomorrow we will likely see if the Miami Heat can really beat that record, or make history, but as we see in the last game of the New York Knicks Jalen Brunson can still hit that hard Michell Robinson was great with those rebounds, and together with Julius Randle and RJ Barrett but I think it looks like the Miami Heat is in the verge of fatigue they surely need rest but still Jimmy Butler still have played 43 mins inside the court the coach needs to see the situations of his players for them to know some of their teams' problems,

The Warriors won by 15 points. That was awesome, and now the series is 3-2. They will still be on the edge in every game, but they have a chance to win the series, especially if they win on the road, which is difficult.

Green and Wiggins made great contributions, but Thompson hasn't found his rhythm yet after having a great Game 2 performance.

The top performers for the Warriors were:

Curry: 27 points
Wiggins: 25 points
Green: 20 points

If the Warriors could at least get their momentum and believe that this is not the end of the road for them they can win this, but Game 7 will likely be the ending for these two teams, but it is something that I have noticed here the free throws are likely to equal this time, but I just noticed it but never saying that the ref is fair this time, but still a good win for the Warriors but still the Lakers is in the horizon to win in this series and Stepeh Curry is not likely exploding right now because it is still not in game 7, for now, the Warriors needs to reach game 7 for a solidify win,


Yes, and it might be scary because we might see Game 6 Klay at Crypto.com? And I think it's the contribution of Green who really covered what the Warriors is missing on Thompson right now. Although there are reports that AD might not play in Game 6 because of concussions, but I think he will though, he just need to take a rest.

Now the Warriors won on a must win at home, can they do a must win in the road or as the predictions of 6 games for the Lakers will happen next game? Lakers now, opening at -1.5 at home as favorite.

I am not seeing a Poole party this time if this continues the Golden State Warriors management will likely trade him out of the Warriors for sure, for me just like James Wiseman the Golden State Warriors will need to make a hard decision and for Stephen Curry to be effective because right now he is at the peak of his prime, the Warriors will need to form a team that will revolves around Curry to help him succeed, so sad for me to say I think they will likely need to eliminate Jonathan Kuminga, Jordan Poole, Moses Moody, and Donte DiVincenzo away to give way to bigger talented players to revolve around Curry's playing style,

Looks like I was dead wrong about this Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76Ers game. I thought the Celtics would handle them easily on their home court but this game has been ugly. Boston can’t hit the side of a barn with their shots. No way you can win a game in today’s NBA when you’re shooting ~30% from the field and 25% from three point range…

It is a good thing that I haven't made any bets at all I am taking a breather after so many losses that I took, but in that game, if I bet I will also take the Boston Celtics to win it, but in that game, Tyrese Maxey has pushed up and gave the 76ers a lift up, with Joel Embiid and even though James Harden only got 17 points that were a double-double game with his assist, so it is not a bad thing for him and because there are Tyrese Maxey backing them up now,
and Tobias Harris got a double-double of 11 rebounds and 16 points but with the Celtics, I only see 3 players

Home team still perfect in the Suns/Nuggets series. Phoenix just looked like shit tonight. Made a nice run to only be down by 3 at halftime. Really want to see the Suns win it all, but Denver has the home court advantage and apparently that's been huge for the series.

There is enough spread for the Denver Nuggets while the Phoenix Suns haven't anything at all just 3 players doing their thing but I think that isn't enough the Joker got a triple-double of 13 rebounds 12 assists and 29 points, for me I would go for the Nuggets winning at home but there is an itching feeling that the Phoenix Suns will surely take a comeback and the last games for this teams will be at game 7 to close the season,


Same situation with the Miami Heat, the team fought their way to clinch a play-in spot and who could've thought that with Butler's persistence and a little bit of help from the remaining roster, they are upsetting the favorites all the way up until now that they are going against the New York Knicks. Both play-in team in respective conference is still alive and have a 3-1 advantage over their opposing teams which are currently favorites. Now, that is really unexpected.

The Miami Heat is in the 8th seed creating a great performance against the 5th seed the New York Knicks if that isn't weird enough this season has provided us with definitely good entertainment the Warriors in the 6th seed upsetting the 3rd seed Kings, while the 7th seed Lakers upset the 2nd Seed Memphis Grizzlies, but maybe the Lakers on the 7th seed could upset the 6th seed Warriors that is what we are seeing right now,
