The majority of us live beyond our means, which is one of the primary causes of our ever-increasing habit of borrowing money. Simply put, incomings are outpacing outgoings. It's also getting worse.
This is the main problem that greatly affects the financial condition. income exceeds expenditure is a virus that must be overcome in managing finances. When your financial condition is down, you must be wise in borrowing money because there are several risks that will arise if your finances jam or fail to pay at maturity, one of the risks that cannot be avoided is that the installments will get bigger because the interest and fines continue to increase. Policies in spending are needed to maintain financial health, you must control your money properly by cutting expenses and spending money wisely. Borrowing money to fulfill desires is not recommended because it will become a burden when paying due to not having a side income source. The trend of 'living for the now' has indeed led to an unsettling 'outgoings > incomings' equation in many households. That's why we see the millennial generation dubbed as the "debt generation". The wisdom to borrow is important but often overlooked. Lending platforms will always be happy to dish out loans but forget to add the disclaimer about the snowballing effect of interest and fines. It's like buying a smartphone on a plan and realizing later you could have bought two for the price you end up paying! However, the solution isn't as straightforward as cutting expenses. It's about understanding needs versus wants and planning expenditures accordingly. A common saying among personal finance geeks is "Don't save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving". Implementing such simple financial principles could be a starting point to financial prudence. the main thing in borrowing is the the character of the person. Some people and businesses are not good enough to be trusted. They can borrow money and can vanish. while others are very particular about dealing with their finances and these the successful people and business. As they say, money is the root of all evilAnd it's not that new to us when it comes at money because this specific thing can really reveal the person's true character and identity especially if we're talking about huge bulks of cash. Even your friend who you have trusted the most will probably choose the money over you if he's on the edge and will forget what you two have been through just because of that, simple. |

It is 100% going to be easy to get visa if you have a ticket. You have no idea about the US visa system. A few years back, my B1 visa was put on hold for 6 months, just because of some administrative formalities. And many of my friends have faced difficulties with different types of visa. If you are a citizen of some of the developed nations, then it is relatively easy for you to get your hands on a US visa. But if you are from countries such as India and Pakistan, then it takes a lot of background checks and additional verifications to get a visa approved. In short, having a valid ticket doesn't guarantee you a US visa. you are very right - I agree with you! It not easy to achieve the US visa and there are so many things which can hinder in you and your USA visa. Things will be very difficult when it will be USA and Canadian visa. That is expected because not everyone can or is allowed to enter their countries without such valid reasons or proper requirements. Also, even if there are some requirements laid for almost everyone, it is still not that easy to acquire it because there are still other factors that they should consider before giving the visa. Especially if you're someone from the third world country. |

Unless there's a turn of events where Miami snatch the title away from them, which is far, in my personal opinion, from happening. Jokic will be the finals MVP as all of us witnessed how great he was in all aspects. The numbers state it all and there's nothing that can steal the title aside from Miami winning the finals, and then again, it was too far to happen, one more game and it might be the end of this series. 3 games remaining with a result while the Nuggets have a 3 win advantage. I'm sure the Nuggets will finish the game faster where in game 5 they can have a win so Miami has lost hope of winning. Nikola Jokic will perform better and it is possible that he will also become MVP in this season. This would prove to be the strongest in the West region would be victorious. I think it is already expected that the Miami Heat does have some disadvantage in Game 5 because what happened in the recent games did really put some trauma into their heads as no matter what they have done, they still fail to rally and to survive almost each game in their series. But it's still too early to decide about that mate, the Heat is no that poor in-terms of their performance as they too have managed to have a seat in the Finals, so we will see in the next game what will they do but I do agree that series might have been finished already. |

and only uses the money in their pocket or wallet, but for those who have a small income, of course this will never be achieved, many people work 1 month and enough even less for one month's needs so the plan to take a loan to invest in bitcoin is a good idea.
Taking a loan to invest in Bitcoin may not be a good idea for small-income people if there's no guarantee of paying the loan without any issues but there's power to pay the loan I also don't see anything wrong in a taking loan and investing it in Bitcoin. It entirely depends on the investor and how would he or she assess his situation because I know there are some people/investors who have done it successfully as long as they have completely done their own research in their selected field of investments or specific coin in the world of cryptocurrency, but it is not really advisable especially for beginners because this is an unknown waters that even the experts are still having a hard time. |

Although I can't save money. I can't save money. It happens that my expenses are more than my income. But I think every person should save money. Because what do you do when you are old and can't do anything? Then you have to ask someone. It is very important to save money for treatment. Nowadays, people have the most difficult diseases, which require a lot of money. Therefore, it is very important to save money.
If it's important, then save from now even though your income is small. Because that's not the only reason for anyone not to save money in their life, especially if it is to maintain their health and to balance their life in old age if someone doesn't get a pension from the government. Apart from saving money from now on, everyone can also invest in real estate and also in currencies like Bitcoin because these two things can also help someone manage their old age better. Yes, I definitely agree. Saving is really important because we do not know what will happen down the road and we might need something for emergency purposes but don't forget that saving and investing is two different words with two different meaning because you probably don't want to touch your investments that is supposed to give you profits for future purposes like emergencies and sudden bills that you did not expected. |

I just read about this, so I thought that you guys might be interested as well. Errol Spence Eyeing Mega Fight If He Can Get Past Crawford
“We’re not thinking about Canelo right now, but if the fight comes on the table, I’d definitely take that fight.”
“165-168 is more my natural weight and it would be a lot easier for me to make, so I’d definitely take that fight.” https://boxing-social.com/news/errol-spence-eyeing-mega-fight/I mean, really? After all the wasted months of going back and forth with Terence Crawford because he's afraid and tried to buy some time even if he doesn't really admit it, people already know the real score. And now he still have the face the brag about taking Canelo Alvarez. Hands down to this man! What do you think folks? As what the article suggest, Spence eyeing a mega fight if he can defeat and get past Crawford. Although it is still not that sure that it will indeed happen, I just cannot weigh it in and believe the fact that Spence is thinking about Canelo Alvarez instead of having his 100 percent focus on his upcoming fight next month because he surely knows that gravity about it as Crawford is not that kind of boxer who can be underestimated and even though he's much older, he can still give a punch that Spence could not possibly forget. That's too early to speculate though, the focus but both fighters right now is to train hard and beat each other. Crawford is the favorite and so it will make Spence to be motivated. I saw some short reels of Spence, not sure though if this is new or old, but it seems that his hair has grown already. So I assume that he must be in deep trainer already. I think what Spence said before is that he is willing to go up in weight at 154 lbs and then fight Charlo. Although there's too much complication on it, they have the same trainer and could have some sparring between themselves. But for fans, let's say we should be more concern of this fight first, this is huge and for the undisputed belt. That seems to be new if Spence was already growing his hair because that just mean that he is too busy right now to even do some stuffs on the sidelines including a full clean haircut. That is a good news though because I don't want him to think about Canelo for now because he still got a huge fight to face next month and many avid boxing fans have already said that in this fight, Crawford got the upper hand but some also thinks that Spence have it. So, we'll see about that soon enough. |

They should understand and know that boxing industry is also a business industry which means that it is almost unavoidable that the sanctioning bodies and promoters will literally take advantage of the situation especially if they know that it will be a huge fight as that will mean a money in their pockets as well. Might be unfair to some, yes, but again, it is also a business.
^Definitely right and I agree. People should understand and recognize that the boxing industry operates as a business. This means that sanctioning bodies and promoters often seize the opportunity to exploit situations, particularly when there is a highly anticipated fight that promises significant financial gain. While this may appear unfair to some, it is an inherent aspect of the business side of boxing. The financial success of these events translates to financial gains for those involved. Understanding this dynamic is very important to comprehending the decisions and actions taken by various stakeholders in the sport. Well, they can try and get loud about the issue but it won't go anywhere because it is what it is. Every boxers have their own time to shine and it's up to them how will they take advantage of the limelight while they having the crowd's attention, and if people is not convinced about their skills and ability then there's nothing they can do about it. People just cannot understand the fact that everyone can be a boxer but only few are born to be a champion and make a difference in the league/industry. That is surely the reality they are facing and undoubtedly, the boxing industry has been like that since then because after all, it is a business too. But we cannot expect that all of them will just accept the fact without giving at least some fight because some of these boxers have been persistent and determined enough to reach a much bigger stage for their fight and it is normal if they can see that it is not fair on their sides as they have been working hard as well. |

Football fans will benefit the most from the next World Cup. Because maybe the next World Cup will not make the countries as difficult as the Qatar World Cup. This allows football fans to watch and enjoy every match with freedom.
Bold of you to assume football fans did not enjoy the last world cup. The Qatar world cup was among the best world cups ever. I have watched different world cups and the 2022 world cup was the best for me. A lot of controversies, yes we know, but that did not stop anybody from enjoying the world cup. Most of the controversies where just propaganda. What's best was to just block out the negative energy and just enjoy the sport. I feel lucky because I got to watch the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. In 2022, Qatar hosted the best World Cup tournament in history. Those who say they didn't enjoy the World Cup in Qatar, then they dislike Qatar, not the beauty of football. Many people have spread various misinformation about this Middle Eastern country that how the World Cup will be hosted in a desert country but Qatar has taken all the channels and organized the World Cup in the most modern way in the world. Qatar has done more than what was required to host a World Cup tournament. I don't think any country will host the World Cup in the future like Qatar did in the 2022 World Cup. You're just being too obvious mate and that just shows that you are not well informed about what really happened before, during and after the Qatar World Cup. Moreover, why would the people spread misinformation if they don't have any facts at all? All the information that have been shared all throughout the duration of World Cup has been backed by facts and not just mere misinformation meant to destroy Qatar's image. It's been discussed frequently too, so I suggest you get yourself informed first. Most of all, I highly doubt that you're in Qatar watching the games live when you're just sitting behind your TV or gadget watching the games. |

I think the thing that makes a person still poor is difficult opportunities, many people are smart but they don't have the opportunity to work in companies or are given capital for businesses. Of course the role of the government is very important to raise the skills or abilities of its citizens who have potential but don't have the opportunity.
I don't think that's a reason, if someone has the ability and desire then he doesn't depend on other people's work anymore, he can even make his own job, open a business or something else. Main capital is indeed important, but capital is not always in the form of money, it could be desire, hard work and also ability / knowledge. never blame anyone if we are still poor, even the circumstances are not wrong. it's all on ourselves, get up and try harder. Becoming rich out from poverty is just about passiions, is to have this rich mindset. Sometimes it must not be money to start up something first or looking for opportunities to hold on but passion is the main thing to become financially okay , and positive mindset. Passion makes one to start up somewhere no matter how small it is, and it will definitely do well in the future. Government in the society can also be blamed why people still remain poor. If the government is is working Rate of poverty will be very low. This is indeed often underestimated and I also believe when we have a positive spirit and mindset it will also help us get out of poverty, indeed it will not happen instantly and of course everything needs a process, the enthusiasm to keep learning new things and trying is very important. Only those stay poor who wants to stay poor and those who don't work for their improvement and betterment . Now there are million opportunities to improve yourself and still if someone don't avail them that their fault . This is totally on their mindsets some people are satisfied being the way they are. Everyone has a fair chance to make their lives better and comfortable, it's just that they don't have the right eye to see what and where the opportunities are. Some factors may exists, yes that is fair enough, but that doesn't mean that you will just wait until someone will spoon feed you everything until you can stand up on your own. It's surely doesn't work like that because we all are able to do it as long as we have the right determination and mindset to do things even if it seems impossible. |

then a Jamal Murray PRA 36.5 @ 1.86 on local Sportbook, but If I'm able to get a similar result from the players like they did in the first half, I should have a very decent amount of winnings. 🤞
Nice job! Murray had an outstanding game today and was able to showcase his MVP-level performance. He scored 34 points, recorded 10 assists, and grabbed 10 rebounds. That kind of performance is truly deserving of the MVP title, and it resulted in an easy win for his team. Congratulations on the victory! Jimmy Butler was just as terrible as you could have imagine and don't let the numbers lie to you, he was awful and play more like coward that isn't built for a NBA finals, zero assists and 2 rebound from a player that's supposed to be the tea leader, minimal fouls drawn while very careless and sloppy with the ball, and unlike him his counterpart Jamal Murray stepped up big time and complimented Jokic and he didn't need to do it alone, I would say a couple of Butler's team had a rough night especially Gabe Vincent with those cheap and awful foul calls, but Jimmy Butler was also not a leader enough to inspire his team imo, he looked really carried away. I believe we saw the same Jimmy in Game 2, and yet the Heat still managed to win. It's possible that the adjustments made by the Nuggets surprised the Heat, as they struggled to counter the aggressive defense displayed by the Nuggets. The Nuggets were the aggressors in the game, driving the ball effectively and dominating the rebounds. I'm certain that the Miami team will take note of these aspects as they review the game footage. The pressure is again on the Miami Heat's shoulders now because if they still lose on a back to back homecourt games, it might be hard for them to contend anymore and prevent the Nuggets from winning the Finals because that also mean that the Nuggets will have a 3-1 lead if they can win successively in Heat's homecourt. Watch out, coach Spo might do something again and I'm pretty much excited to see if he can still make a difference and the team will execute the plan accordingly. |

Meanwhile, Teofimo's comment about killing Josh Taylor is foul but actually corny knowing he actually lost his last fight if not for the corrupt judges. I cannot wait for their face-offs. I guess they are expected to be in their own receptions by tomorrow and a press conference is expected to happen later before the weigh-in. Josh Taylor should try something to bully Teofimo and lessen his confidence a bit before fight night.
Yes, probably just to sell the fights because it seems there's no hype here. I mean it's understandable, after Garcia vs Davis and then Loma vs Haney, it's hard to follow on that footsteps unless they really give a fans a good show. And only they can sell the pre-fight if they are going to trash talk and that's what Lopez is good at. Final press conference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRUl_dPlll8The security though, didn't allow for this two to have the face-off, maybe there will be some pushing, hehehe. We will still see them tomorrow for the final weigh-in so it's another must watch for fight fans. The final weigh-in will be their last chance to actually sell the fight because in the past few weeks, their names just cannot keep up with the big names that has making a noise in the industry and even now that it's already their time, we now have the Spence vs Crawford fight which has been in the headlines for quite some time now. If only the face-off were approved, it could've been a good marketing but sadly, they did not allow it. So, tomorrow will be their very last chance. |

Anyone see this news? The Phoenix Suns plan to waive veteran guard Chris Paul, according to a report from Bleacher Report/TNT’s Chris Haynes.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reports that a trade could also be on the table, along with potentially waving and re-signing the 12-time All-Star this offseason. https://www.nba.com/news/chris-paul-free-agency-phoenix-sunsOk, so after the firing of their coach, it seems the new owner is making a big chances on the player side as they waived CP3 already and obviously, wanted to clear some space so that they can get a new player. And if they trade him, might be interesting which team and what will be the trading package. Who knows, maybe he can play with Lebron? What's your thoughts? 100%. I don't know what lebrons future us but he has always wanted a true point guard and one with cp3s caliber. Would be good for LeBron so he doesn't have to be the point forward anymore either to save on his wear and tear. I can see cp3 in a Lakers uniform on a vet minimum contract. At this point he knows his window is all but closed it cant be about money at this point. I was just reading about this and I’m a bit surprised. Not that the Suns are getting rid of Chris Paul, he’s far from what he used to be and a terrible mentor because he’s a poor sport, but that they’re dumping him for nothing instead of a sign and trade. That basically means they couldn’t find anyone willing to offer anything for him. That surprises me a little. He’s free to play with Bron now though. Or the Phoenix Suns just have another plan which is why they chose to rid Chris Paul instead of trading him to get a possible good player in return that could somehow be a good asset for the franchise. But I guess that you are right too because before publishing the news, I think it's safe to assume that they have already tried that scenario but nothing came back. |

yeah, there's no need to talk about it anymore because the credibility and trust in USDT is really very big,
it's proven that all exchanges use USDT and that can't be denied,
and don't worry about the peged from USDT, it's from real USD, so it's impossible for USDT to be a scam in the future, don't worry.
The fact that many crypto exchange uses USDT was one of the major reason why I also use it though I mainly used it for transaction purposes because my broker adopted it for swift transactions, however I can't hodl my major assets in USDT I would rather store my asset in Bitcoin to avoid unnecessary touching story with regards to the credibility and trustworthy of USDT and nothing is certain among stable coins except the major cryptocurrencies whose credibility is guaranteed and well tasted and confirmed though this is my personal opinion. generally i guess it's good to store money in USDT only temporarily because the rumours circulating around this stablecoin, I guess bank is just still safer option nowadays to save money, since even if they went bankrupt there is chance they can still recover back since they got help from government. There is still no guaranteed even if we say that these banks are backed by the government, if I remember it correctly, there is already a case about that same scenario where the bank did not recover even if they are supposed to get some help. Some are purposely doing it and will just establish another bank with the same affiliates, I don't know why but maybe they are just trying to avoid something including the people's money who trusted their bank. Anyway, back to the topic, staking or storing in USDT and other stable coins are good but just like what everybody is saying, it is not really advisable to do it long term as you might be in a situation where you didn't imagine in the first place. |

Hi guys, Is it too late now to buy BNB? Or can we expect huge price drop in this year?
It is hard to suggest if you should buy BNB now. What I can suggest is you evaluate the movement of the market and check also it's historical price before buying. If you feel that your research is enough and you feel you need to buy it just follow your instinct. If i were you i will buy a stable coin first and stake it to earn some profits while waiting for the price of BNB to go down before i will decide to invest in BNB. Wait for the proper timing so that you will not regret your investment. But what if the prices will not go down? Then waiting for the right timing will be a waste because that also mean that you are wasting some time. Staking stable coins are good but we should be aware about its disadvantages and advantages, so that we will not be surprised about what will happen, hence why we should learn and do some studies first. Risks of Staking
It’s worth mentioning, though, that there might be some risks. Sometimes, staking requires a lockup or vesting period, where your crypto can’t be transferred for a certain period of time. This can be a disadvantage, as you won’t be able to trade staked tokens during this period even if prices shift. SourceAfter having some research, sometimes trusting our instincts will be the most recommended thing to do because even if you asked some people, you will still arrive to the same answer where it's not really guaranteed that you will earn some humungous profits. Everything is a gamble here where risks are everywhere. |

I'm not sure, but if your concern is the visa... as far as I'm aware, people only need to acquire a visa for the USA (which is more "complicated") and automatically they have a "free pass" to watch the games on the Mexico and Canada.
I don't agree with this. Getting a visa for Mexico or Canada may not be a big deal for US/EU citizens. But if someone from China or India want to visit these countries, in order to watch the world cup matches, they still need to go through a lot of formalities. And getting a US visa is entirely at another level. For people from the third world, it is next to impossible to get a tourist visa to the US. In short, I guess the fans will be mostly comprised of EU/US citizens for the 2026 event. Very few of those from Asia or Africa are likely to travel in order to watch the matches. Wealthy people from third world countries will probably find ways to solve the problem, but of course the bulk of the tourists will be people with a high level of wealth - from wealthy countries such as Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc. By the way, probably scammers who "guarantee" obtaining visas and the absence of problems in obtaining them, get rich at this World Cup, since people will always look for workarounds  Wealthy people from wealthy countries including poor countries, will literally have no struggles in flying towards US and watch the upcoming World Cup just like what everyone wanted. And in the first place, considering their wealth and connections, it is already safe to assume that it will not be their first time traveling towards America which also means that they already have the requirement such as passport and everything. |

If Inoue won the fight against Fulton, he might be right on the bat, fighting Tapales for the undisputed title, unifying the 4 belts. If he beat Tapales, Inoue could set another world record of being the undisputed champion of two divisions.
Then, he will go up to another weight class. I think that's the plan until Naoya Inoue reaches his limit of where he could go gain more weight. If this happens, Casimero won't be able to reach him anymore. But, there's a chance for the Filipinos to unite the belts in Tapales as long as he will defeat when Inoue comes for him. Then, Casimero will also have his chance to fight the long-awaited opponents because he will probably rank down. It will probably be the next plant if ever Inoue unified the 4 titles but I guess he will have a few title defenses since he needs to familiarize his body to the weight before moving up again. Moving up too fast isn't good for the boxer since he will end up gaining weight too fast that his body won't be able to famliarize with the weight and may slow him down during the process. No doubt that it will happen as long as Inoue will be successful in his upcoming fight with Fulton as that will mean that he is the new WBO and WBC champion. And knowing Bob Arum, he will surely want that undisputed fight as aside from viewing it as an advantage, it will be huge fight as well that he will likely organize to make it happen. Plus, it seems that Tapales and his camp also want that, so it will be a matter of months before we can know more about it. Not everyone is happy about the mandated fight on who will win the Inoue versus Fulton fight. It gives a lot of rest for Tapales and then no one can challenge him yet until he fights one of the said 2 of the boxers.
Murodjon Akhmadaliev who will fight Tomoki Kameda for the final eliminator, both boxers are not happy about it because it will take a long time before they can challenge the champion again.
Well, the consolation for waiting a bit long is that, when they get to challenge the champion, it would be for an undisputed title defense, having 4 belts on the line. Isn't that much better than having to challenge a champion with just 2 belts in hands? I don't think they will not be happy for that turn of event since it will be a winner take all contest. They should understand and know that boxing industry is also a business industry which means that it is almost unavoidable that the sanctioning bodies and promoters will literally take advantage of the situation especially if they know that it will be a huge fight as that will mean a money in their pockets as well. Might be unfair to some, yes, but again, it is also a business. |

Looks like Adam Silver will be announcing a 30-game suspension for Ja Morant as soon as the Finals are over. Pretty crazy to me. I understand that the NBA has been trying to distance itself from guns and gun violence for years now. Remember before the Wizards were the Wizards? Remember the Gilbert Arenas incident that destroyed his promising career? Clearly, the NBA has taken a no-nonsense policy when it comes to guns.
However, Ja flashing a gun in the background of someone else's video, so long as it is legal, seems like a bit of an overreach. Although it wasn't his first incident, so maybe the league made it clear this is what would happen with a second incident.
Nevertheless, Ja Morant should know what should he do because he is not just playing for himself because he is now under the NBA management as a whole and playing professionally even if his contract was given by the Memphis Grizzlies. Still, he is expected to uphold the term professional as he's not within any amateur league anymore where he can be a child and play gangsta every time or everywhere he like. |

That's just how they market their fight nowadays without trash-talking, the fight is boring unless you are already famous for not doing so and the fans know that you gonna rebut inside the ring like Manny Pacquiao does against Broner and Thurman. But these two should do something before the fight and to fuel the excitement like this will gonna make the fans even want to see them clashing in the ring against each other so they raise their PPV sales just before their fight. We already know that if Lopez doesn't have new skills to surprise Taylor, he doesn't have any chance to beat him except by a lucky shot.
Yeah Lopez looks bad after the he fought Lomachenko, he was knocked down when he fought Sandor Martin, it was a robbery because Lopez won the fight. Now he will fight Josh Taylor, the judges will be in Lopez's side because the odds show Taylor is favorite and he have 2 belts. I think Taylor will dominating the fight, Lopez isn't have a really good technical skill. I don't doubt that Taylor will win. Maybe Lopez is quite durable, but in terms of boxing skills, I don't think he is on par with the current champion. As much as I would love to see Taylor win by knockout, as I mentioned earlier, Lopez is really durable. So, I'll just enjoy watching the fight and hope that the real winner will be announced on the judges' scorecards. I guess, we here both have the same sides because I just don't remember seeing that somebody here is favoring Teo Lopez to win versus the former undisputed. On the other hand, yes, Teo Lopez is somehow durable and managed to secure some wins in his record (although some are questionable) I'll give him that but in-terms of being dominant, ring IQ and in-fight adjustments because of experience, there is no doubt that Josh Taylor have those advantages. We might see a slow start from both boxers as they are likely to feel each other first but when the 3rd round will begin, that is when the real fight will commence. |

I want to see how the Denver Nuggets will adjust. The first lost at their home must have affected them and their confidence and now it's how they can recover from that and better it will be in a competitive environment at the Miami homecourt.
I expect Jokic to be a monster again. Adjustments will surely happen, Murray might get more aggressive, and they might go back at using Gordon under the rim to score some easy deuce.
It is certain that they will make significant adjustments after the disappointing loss in game 2. Let's see what they will do to counter the strategy of the Heat, which has made Jokic more of a scorer than a passer. According to the statistics, the Nuggets have more losses in games where Jokic scores 40+ points. They will not be able to sustain that approach because if Jokic focuses more on scoring rather than facilitating, he will likely wear down, particularly in the fourth quarter. That's precisely why the Heat emerged victorious in the fourth quarter. Adjustments need to be made so that everyone on the Nuggets, especially the starters, can perform well. Special mention goes to Michael Porter Jr., who only scored 5 points in game 2. I think that was Coach Spoelstra's intention to make Jokic the scorer and it was pretty evident that he did a huge score on that game 2 loss. I can't remember clearly on what was that approach by the Miami coach but it's likely to not make the other teammates score because if they're having a rhythm in scoring or Jokic setting up some plays they'll likely wins the game. If you take a look at his assists in the recent match it doesn't get to double digits. If they'll reduce his minutes, that will affect them too. It's likely the guards need to be aggressive and the one who make some plays. Clear it was coach Spo's intention and that is also why he took Kevin Love on the line-up so that there will be a mismatch in-terms of height and then that will give Jimmy Butler a lot more room to do his thing because he will now guard and take on Murray instead of Gordon where it was already clear that Butler is having a struggle if the situation will happen again. What happened during the post-game conference was just a little ploy from coach Spo, so that they will remain unpredictable even if it was clear enough that they have done to Jokic. |
