How about the Brooks vs Mitchell fight? The Grizzlies added more competition or... enemies.  Cheesy Brooks cheap shot, too obvious.
Here's the link.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsGHffZziv0
Brooks trying to be the Draymond Green V2.0 isn't he? Cheesy
Cheap shots here, cheap shots there, trash talking other teams. Still the word that made him popular is the term "dynasty" which is un-applicable to them.

They will be hated in a bad way, GSW was hated before because they are too good during their runs. But it's the opposite with Memphis, they are too cocky, Morant, Bane, Jackson, Brooks and Brandon Clarke. They haven't proven anything and yet they talk about dynasty and trying to be the bad guys in the NBA. It's was obvious a cheap shot and they have been running their mouths throughout the game and so Mitchell just snap when he felt that shot thrown on him. And with that, they completely destroyed Memphis in this game.

No one likes this team, they are a young team and yet they are acting without respect. Yes, they have been in the playoffs consistently, but what can they achieve so far? They are not even a champion yet, Brooks is dirty, even dirtier than Draymond Green, but at least Draymond had already proven something, and that is winning a championship.

Let's discuss about the upcoming games. We have the Boston Celtics who came from a major win playing the visiting Phoenix Suns, can they have a another big win and cover the -9.5 spread? Also, we have the Utah Jazz who beat the Raptors, now trying to have another win against a visiting Atlanta Hawks, what's the bets pick here?
1203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin adoption growing stronger everyday on: February 02, 2023, 09:02:14 PM
We do not yet reach the finish line, so adoption will continue until the moment that everyone has already been using this whether in terms of investment or currency. As we can see, only a few percent that is already using this, but there are still a lot of people we need to encourage. Even 10 years from now we're still far from happening.

However, it was really good to see that crypto gives interest to the community, and therefore, I can say that Bitcoin is not a failed project.

I can't believe the Warriors lost against the Timberwolves, they are getting sloppy with their plays. I know it's the right ones but it doesn't click well especially when Draymond expects their cuts and he just throws the ball out of nowhere where the cutter should be. It's been happening a lot of times, Steve Kerr should start strengthening at those parts, I bet they all see this in the tape and regrets their mistakes. A mountain of turnovers again.

Yeah, it destroyed my parlay, damn it, easy win by Boston while the Sixers needed everything they got to win against the Magic.

And one upset is Portland winning, and then GSW lost as well and the Suns losing by big margin.


I'm not sure what happened but it looks like the Warriors are too complacent in that game. I mean, they were a team that is good in taking care of their lead, but what happen, they were outscored in the 4th quarter and Wolves almost beat them in the regular period. That was an upset though the Warriors are not really heavily favored, there's really a big difference playing on the road and at their home court.

They made a mistake, and that's it. You can't blame them because they lose, that's normal mate, they still have a good standing now, or there's an improvement in the last month, so it's alright. This team is the defending champion, they make mistakes but they always bounce back from that mistakes. Curry was still the consistent player of the team, score 29 points from 8-21 shooting while KT and JP had a poor shooting night, they shoot like 30% only.

One more week before the trade deadline, some teams should be moving if they are still aiming for the playoffs.
Quote
There has been a steady stream of rumors coming out of Atlanta in recent weeks, mostly about the status of forward John Collins. But while the Hawks haven't been able to find many suitors for Collins, their phone has been ringing off the hook about Bogdan Bogdanovic. Per Sam Amick, "half the league" has been calling the Hawks to gauge the possibility of a deal.

Half the league badly needs a shooter and Bogdan is one hell of one if given the opportunity. Right now, the Hawks are filled with outside shooters like Trae, Murray, Hunter, and Bogdan. Maybe that's why they are being targeted to trade him. But what do the Hawks need? I don't think they are lacking on skilled players but it's only the plays that are having issues.
I agree with that, they have been in the playoffs many times and they always win the first round.
They have upgraded their roster when they added Murray, I believe he will be a big factor in the playoffs, in case they'll trade Collins, I think their roster will not be affected that much, probably they'll improve.

I don't recommended for beginner in cryptocurrency for investing in NFT, how ever lower price from NFT better keep away and use your money for investing in Bitcoin or potential altcoin project only.

What potential altcoin projects? other than BNB or ETH, no altcoin is safe. I agree with you that newbies should not invest in NFTs or new trends in the market, as the possibility of loss is high, and should only invest in bitcoin instead.
What OP needs to invest is knowledge because even if bitcoin is a safe investment, without knowledge it will make him lose like NFT. An investment is safe or not when we have knowledge about it, not just buying it, it will be safe or profitable right away.
Indeed it was not safe at all, not even Bitcoin. But we can change this thing and manage to increase our possible profit if we choose the best coins in the market. It was not the price that we considered most but also the potentiality of the said project. Like investing NFT is not really a bad choice but yes, if we think about earning a profit that is something not acceptable (just for me). Well, we don't know if OP have the idea also about NFT or something been influenced by a friend or someone who also invest NFT projects.

1 million dollars to win 8000 dollars? Either the guy has a lot of money to throw around, or he just wanted to earn fee money (something stupid I would do sometimes, bet 1 million satoshi to win 8000 satoshi on dice to pay for a withdrawal fee.

Totally naive, and inexperienced, but I've also done the same at Bitvest to my loss Sad
Rich gamblers won't think that badly for sure, but they feel bad for it because it is a huge amount. He tried to make things possible by gambling because if he is also too lucky on that day, he also multiplies his money instantly. Because sometimes it happens that lower odds win and he tried to convince himself to be confident with that losing bet. But for sure he knows the consequences of gambling and I believe this is not the first he lose that amount.

Totally naive or not, things like this will happen. He puts a huge bet which is why he loses huge as well. A true gambler will take a higher risk than others.

In terms of Converged, they almost lose that game, just so happened that Mags import missed that shot and let Converged to survive and take their win, Congrats to everyone who takes both bookies favorite.

The last shot was well defended, although the import had the height advantage he was a bit bothered taking that last shot. IMO, it's not a high percentage shot, they could just go for an OT by driving the ball, who knows, if it hits they might also get a foul, so that could result to a win if they will hit the free throw.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Errol Spence vs Keith Thurman on: January 30, 2023, 10:57:53 AM
Thurman fought a different Manny Pacquiao.
Thurman already fought an old Pacman, but it was just Pacman who was the better fighter that time, maybe Thurman was not so confident as he understand Pacman is a KO artist. He was trashtalking him but he lacks effort in the actual fight.

When that old version of Pacquiao fought Ugas, look what happened to him. Additionally, Errol Spence just brutally attacked and mauled Ugas into submission. Thurman should study the weaknesses of Spence in order to take advantage of them. The defense of Spence is questionable because he has been hit numerous times in his past fights. But the champion Spence is certainly at a higher level of the Pacquiao who fought Thurman.
Pacman was having a problem with his leg on that time, that's why he easily lose, also, Pacman does not have enough time to study the technique of Ugas, so we can't blame him he lose. Maybe if he could have waited for Spence, we might see a close fight, maybe Pacman could even beat Spence.

I was fortunate enough to learn about Bitcoin before it became so popular. Similarly, I'm one of the idiots who saw this as a huge opportunity to make money, didn't think twice about it, and let it pass them by.

It is because you see Bitcoin as a scam and you have been discouraged from your thinking that it will lose your money.
In your case, For almost 10 years of seeing the market situation, I believe you already realized that Bitcoin is a great opportunity to earn more than from investing locally or even from being an employee. Might it be too late on your side not to change your mind towards Bitcoin but I think you still have the chance...maybe this time you can put courage on your self and be strong enough.

Investing doesn't need to be complicated.
Absolutely, just enjoy the process - buy low and sell high. It was just an option whether we hold long-term or short-term but what is most important is that we can earn money. In fact, it is an individual strategy for how to make it.
Quote
The only thing that you need to figure out is if which term will work for you the most. It was trading are the real ones who are complicated but we can also do it if we want more challenge and if we want to possibly increase our income potential.
Meaning, do the things that we think we fit on it. We can't urge ourselves to do the task that we feel we can't or just only fail but rather choose the option that we know can help us and benefit the results. Perhaps, we are taking a risk and we should have to do something in order to reach the goal.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: January 29, 2023, 11:02:25 AM
We have a very rare betting odds in the first game.

Converge 1.64 vs Magnolia 2.17.

I don't know what's the reason behind, but usually Magnolia is the favorites.
Are they playing without import? Anyone knows some information regarding this game?

We don't know the reason, probably because Converge has a good record so far. And as far as the game is concerned, Converge is still leading the game now. They lead double digit but Magnolia is not giving up though. Good to the bettors of Magnolia ML, they still have a chance to win.
Probably because Converge is on the hotspot right now playing with 2-0 record while Magnolia, this is their first game so for sure many are hesitant to bet that much with Magnolia because they still don't know if their import will play better this time.  Converge is doing great, and if they continue doing that for sure they will be the favorite for the rest of their games. Magnolia should not intimidated though, they are the top team before and hopefully they can manage to reach that standing again.

Converge manage to win the game in a scary match. LOL>. They allowed Magnolia to have a big run, Mcree their import could win the game if that last shot sink in, that was too careless for the Converge, but you can't blame them, Magnolia is such a good team so they deserve to celebrate tonight for this big win.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Artur Beterbiev vs Anthony Yarde on: January 29, 2023, 10:29:00 AM


Beterbiev's punches are strong. On the other hand, Bivol's punches aren't the same as Beterbiev, but he's faster and his reach is long as well. Bivol isn't the same as Yarde as well because Bivol is a good counter puncher and we've seen it against Canelo. I'll wait for this match to happen. Smiley

In the post-interview, he never brags that he can easily beat Bivol and he just wants to see the fight happen and take it from there, but even if both fighters do not talk about what to expect in the fight, we boxing fans and the boxing aficionados know that it's going to be one hell of a fight between the two, we only need confirmation in a few months, they need to settle now on who is the best, they don't need to look for any other fights except their match and the unification of the light heavyweight division.

I believe Bivol would win if the fight will happen. I saw the weakness of Beterbiev in this fight, it's just unfortunate that Yarde was not able to capitalize on his advantage, if he was good, then most likely Beterbiev will struggle due to a big cut above his eye. I know that Beterbiev has powerful punches, but I believe in terms of strategy, Bivol has the edge.
1214  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP future looks shaky and uncertain on: January 29, 2023, 08:32:24 AM
There is lot of old coin gonna be useless if they dont evolve to handle current trend and tech, most likely they wont, changing protocol need to rewrite from beginning so these coin gonna be forgotten and pumper likely they will create new coin
Only those projects that have an important role in the market remain while the rest will collapse and die. Might it happen to XRP or not, at least we are prepared about it and take action before it happens. If we are a long-term investor we make sure that we are not investing low-value or shit coins and much more not to keep hyped coins as no doubt that these projects will die first before Bitcoin and ETH dies. That is why we should also vigilant and check our portfolio from time to time so we are aware about the situation of our investment.
1215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: January 29, 2023, 07:58:59 AM
Alts are usually high-risk high rewards. You can buy bitcoin and get +50% with a high probability, or you can get +200% with alts but with the risk of losing your money.
Well, the truth is that there is huge money in altcoins, not to mention any projects but certainly there is.
If we can track these altcoins' performance during the bull season, we can really imagine that investing gonna make you rich instantly if you are too lucky. But yes, altcoins are too risky to put money into, especially for new projects. People are here for such wonderful happenings in the market during Bullrun. We can say that the volume today is quite low but this will increase after halving and when Bullrun gets closer.
1216  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Don't feel comfortable with crypto exchange on: January 28, 2023, 09:54:37 PM
Everybody needs to fear crypto exchange without waiting for people to preach exchange is not good for storing bitcoin.   Remitano exchange is where I do buy bitcoin and sell bitcoin.  Sometimes it is very difficult to have access with this wallet to sell or buy bitcoin,  at times it takes 24hrs before one can logging this exchange. Just imagine exchange like this have some network issues like this and never gets back to normal again. This should be enough reason why people shouldn't store  bitcoin on exchange wallet.
With their performance, you could really fear worries about your funds and deposits and obviously, it boiled you out and think about scams. For me, it was not a normal scenario if that is a trusted exchange but certainly there is a big problem in their system which could worsen soon. We endure trust upon using an exchange but with this kind of service, I don't think they deserve it instead, it turns negative and arises questions about what really happens on their platform. In fact, it was a concerning issue that the team had need to address otherwise traders/investors will leave.
1217  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why does everyone want to trade? on: January 28, 2023, 09:38:45 PM
Trading is better and most of people who are familiar with trading can get much money by doing such activities but I think that put little money at start but do not take loan for this because if you do not know about trading then this money can be lost and you will have to pay the person from which you have taken loan.
If you have no idea in trading, don't trade. But if you want to start trading with little money then proceed because you'll learn your way on it.
Those that are taking loans, they're doing the wrong thing because if you want to trade you should use your own money. Because if you lose, then your money is the one that lost and not the others for which you'll still need to pay for the interest.
Let us say that borrowing money to start trade is not a good idea but I think if that is only a small about and that person has the capacity to pay it, I think that is still acceptable. Doing trading is like you are building a new business as well, we'd learn from day to day, we spend money and (might) lose them if mismanage. That is why before we enter and make a decision to borrow money make sure that we are already aware of the possibility to happen after.

If this will happen, offered Jerami Grant his maximum four year, $112 million extension...

Quote
Thave offered Jerami Grant his maximum four year, $112 million extension but the versatile forward is yet to accept the deal, reports Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer. Grant became eligible for the deal earlier this month.

Do you think he is deserving of this huge contract? or will help accept it or decline it?
I think he does deserve it.
I am a big follower of Jerami Grant since his Nuggets years. That's when I saw how good he is specially combined with Jokic with a passing ability. He can always score deep on the paint as long as the passer can see him. He may not be the normal forward who can fill the stats in rebounds but his scoring ability is one of the consistent ones in the Trail Blazers. Plus, he can also shoot threes which help to spread the floor more.


Grant is averaging 21 PPG, I think that's good enough to be called as a consistent player, and with that huge contract, I'm sure he will not say no. He'll surely stay with the Blazers and help Lillard in the playoffs. This team has more room for improvement, Grant is quite new to the system, it's his first season with this team, so let's give them more time to create their chemistry, and that way they'll be able to win more games.
1220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Will BNB Coin Hit $300 Mark in 2023? on: January 27, 2023, 09:48:16 PM
@OP I think it is time to edit the tittle and perhaps set a new target for bnb since according to what the price target of this topic is reading, bnb already trading in that range even now as I type.
Maybe the new target should be $700 before or by end of 2023.
Bnb has always been a resilient coin right from time, it always fight it's up anytime the price is push down.
I agree with that, in fact, we are currently at $307 meaning we already reach what the OP is wanting to happen. Targeting for a higher price of $500 could be more exciting to see but can be possible. Besides, BNB has the potential, we believe that it will stay strong and increases demand once the market will fully recovers. But I don't think this year is a bullish year for crypto which is why I'd never expect a huge price increase. Reaching $700 can be possible after halving but this year, something impossible (I hope I'm wrong about it).
