As I have said, Westbrook is still very effective going inside and passing the ball to their shooters. That should be the focus on their new coach and not try to reinvent Westbrook because it might backfire on them and maybe close game that he can't make the shots outside so the blame will be on him again.

That's going to be the scenario if he will fail, Westbrook has to play with the coach's design of play, if the coach wants him the ball handler, then he should carry the ball and pass, however, there might be some problems because Lebron has been the active point guard of the team despite the fact they have a point guard already.

And maybe that's where the problem is? Lebron and Westbrook can't play the same role and that's why they've failed in the last season. The job of carrying the ball is not that define, and eventhough Lebron was injured last season, you can see when he played, him and Westbrook are not in the same page. So that is one are that the Ham would have to look at, how and where to divide the taks between this two superstars.

The problem is chemistry, Lebron cannot play the point guard if he wants to give Westbrook a chance to play his game. It's just my personal opinion though, I could be right or wrong, but it's my honest observation.

his position last season is power forward, he should stick to that, not only in paper.

We all know how volatile and unpredictable the cryptocurrency market can be. One month, a coin may be at its peak of value, and the next, it may have almost no value at all. Unfortunately, this is simply the name of the game when it comes to cryptography. But what would happen if the oldest and most valuable asset on the market, Bitcoin, dropped to zero?

font: https://portalcripto.com.br
Well, if bitcoin dropped to zero, then the whole altcoins will follow because whatever the price of bitcoin, it will also affect the price of altcoins. However, I don’t see this happening soon as we are still benefiting bitcoin and its high demand in the crypto community. And until bitcoin opportunities are there, then we won’t be seeing bitcoin losing its value and dropped to zero.
1524  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: September 03, 2022, 02:17:14 PM
The match with Ioka is not possible now if Ancajas will lose. I also don't think that stepping up weight will regain his reputation. It's good to move up weight after a winning match instead of losing 2 times in a row and just to avoid Martinez in the future, he will jump on another division.

He needs to win here, but if he losses, there's no other way but to move up in weight, though it will not hype him but IMO, that's the right thing to do for him to be comfortable in maintaining his weight. He will have to start his journey in a new division and hopefully we will continue to support him.

What we are talking are just the possibilities, but it might change if he wins the rematch.

I also like the under, I know both teams are good offensively, but I believe game 7 is not going to be a fast pace game, their shooting percentage will probably go down.

If this is a close game and the game will go to OT, that will kill your under, however, I think the chance is low, so you can always gamble on that. On the last 6 games, I think most games went to over, so the trend is over, but I understand it's game 7, so yes, it should be a very defensive game.

I guess the focus here will be more on Fajardo but as long as Lassiter and Perez will score again, TNT cannot stop SMB, especially if Williams will only produce 2 points this game again.
1526  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can One Actually Do Crypto Trading As A Living? on: September 02, 2022, 08:56:54 PM
I've heard of many people talk about cryptocurrency and its potentials all the time and at a point I begin to wonder if one can just depend fully on cryptocurrency as a means of livelihood.
There are really certain people who excel in the field of trading and they were able to create successful trades despite of the market uncertainty. That way, they find trading as a good source of living. However, not all people were able to sustain in trading because they easily panic and lost their focus every time the market crashes. The reason why trading do not guarantee everyone to be a source of profits all the time.
1527  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Awareness of scam on social media will help reduce scam on: September 02, 2022, 07:39:47 PM
Scammers are very smart on how to get peoples attentions and they are also smart in inventing new strategies that can be so real to easily convince people . My worries is about beginners who are coming up, and if you make research most beginners in crytocurrency and on social media were once a victim to scammers and till date some beginners still fall for scammers.

To me,  the social media would have been the easiest way to fight against scam, to make beginners get aware "the strangers  you meet is at own risk ". This can always be in the mind when one encounter a stranger who want to offer free money or do business, one will have to think how real can it be.

Beginners don't get awareness of scam on social media,  some mostly get aware of scam with personal experience.
Social media nowadays is not that reliable anymore as a lot of fake news and information have been spreading online. So never expect that you can find awareness here as this is definitely a place of all scams happening. This is the reason why we have to DYOR every time we receive offers that talk about huge returns. Or if you have been a victim before, learned from it and never repeat the same mistake anymore.
1528  Economy / Economics / Re: Helping others could help to improve our country's economy on: September 01, 2022, 09:34:44 PM
Whenever there is a topic about this case and people are discussing how to help other people they start talking about how to give free food, clothes, or money to their people when the topic is brought up. In my opinion, this is not a good thing to do because even if you gave them free food and clothes for years, they would still need these things afterward, I would prefer to assist other people living in my country by teaching them about the economy and how to invest and a new technology that can be used to earn money. As a result, they will not need my help anymore in the future and will be able to meet all their needs independently.
Sometimes, it's easier to just give them free food and money because we tend to think that its currently what they mostly need that time. When in fact, we are tolerating some of those lazy people not to work knowing we can help them anytime. If only the government are able to provide more jobs and investment opportunities to these poor people, then we can't no longer see people living in the streets and asking for food or money. However, if we have also the means to give, then for sure it will be a great help for them too.
1529  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto Currency acceptance Everywhere on: September 01, 2022, 08:48:04 PM
Question I guess, if people would be still willing to transact using crypto, especially at this point wherein the market is still down. What's likely to happen is that users, especially investors, won't prefer using theur assets to buy things. But the idea or thought is there -- adaptation. Given how unstable the situation is, I think it will be still a long run before fiat and crypto coexist on a daily basis. It is just amazing how crypto related ideas are being raised for awareness to those who are not knowledgeable into it yet.
Regardless of the existing low price for bitcoin, i guess the adoption for crypto and using it as a payment method is still in progress. Crypto is already inevitable, and we can't stop the people anymore from not being curious on it because crypto is now the trend in this digital age. Even in small businesses, crypto payment is already visible and this picture above is already a proof. As more and more people will be attached to crypto, then its most likely to expect that crypto adoption is already close to its reality.

Go and look for a job.

On this forum, you can post good, increase in rank, apply if there is an open slot in preferred signature campaign and make money weekly. But the pay is low, especially if you are from a developed countries like Europe or US.

If you have money, you can buy bitcoin and hold for like 2 or more years. You can use money to make passive income. You can buy at the wrong time, but this is not the wrong time, so it it advisable to buy bitcoin now.

If anyone tells you that you can make money from gambling or trading, be careful, both can take than give.
Money will be very hard to gain and earn if you are also not determined to look for real jobs or even investments that require knowledge and skills, and of course good amount of capital. Always have the rich mindset and always go out from your comfort zone, that way it’s easier for you to make money because you were never afraid to take risks after all. After all the risk will be lessen if you know well the investment or job you are entering.
1531  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: in debt but want to invest. on: August 30, 2022, 09:53:14 PM
I would say that you should be focus on that to pay off your debt first as noorman0 has written already.
If you paid of all then you can think about to invest in anything you want with the rule " Just Invest that much what you can afford to lose "
Playing with money thats not yours is not good and leading to more problems if you losing it .
Learn to be responsible on paying your debt because you also benefited from it before, and now it’s time to pay it back completely. And once you have fully paid it all, it will also bring a feeling of relief on your side. Then it’s time for you to freely start on your plans, if its investments then it will be good for you. Save first before you invest, so that if everything ends bad in the start, at least you have no one to pay and there’s no big regrets as you only invest on your extra money.
1532  Economy / Speculation / Re: I've been confused in BTC on: August 30, 2022, 09:27:08 PM
I am very disappointed with the state of Bitcoin in the current market. Because last week its price was 24000 dollars but now it shows 21 thousand dollars. I want to know from you, is the price of Bitcoin likely to fall further?
If we consider the current market condition, then not only bitcoin but the rest of the crypto coins will likely to fall further particularly if there are negative news that will hit and affect the crypto market. However, when the bear market is over, the opposite case will happen too. We can see bitcoin price surges high, and then followed by established altcoins in the market.
1533  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Overcome a Bear Market in Cryptocurrency on: August 29, 2022, 09:45:59 PM
It's everybody's long game, for sure. The critical part of having to HODL is that you should consider everything to ensure that you are doing the right thing with everyone. Like how you can mentally overcome the disastrous thing that could happen if you think about your portfolio too much. It will take a toll on you, and that's not a good thing for sure.

Just believe that you want something in the long run that you want to profit from but for now, just accumulate.
If you consider long term goals in crypto market, then never be bothered at all when the market falls into bearish condition. You can experience dropping of your portfolio value while seeing the market in a bloody condition, but everything is temporary so expect that the prices will never remain low all the time. And always think that the bear market is  another opportunity to invest, so instead of worrying, learn to overcome the bear market by accumulating potential coins that will hit huge prices in the future. That way, your worries will turn into motivations.
1534  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Crypto and Bitcoin began to be known by the rural community on: August 29, 2022, 09:15:09 PM
How is the condition of Crypto and Bitcoin in your area guys?
With some plotting of our government for making rules about the regulation of crypto, it's starting to be known. Actually, it was already known. And I have started to see that the mindset and belief for bitcoin was totally changed. Before, it's just almost negative when they talk about bitcoin. That it's just only used for dark market transactions and not for mainstream use but this time, it seems to be okay to own and hold it or even you use it for payments. The outlook of bitcoin and the whole crypto market has became positive and that's good for everyone and to the enthusiasts like me that never changed our minds even for a single inch.
  We will never see the good thing about bitcoin if we always stick on being negative about it and believing all the government lies about it. Unless if we start opening our own minds and learn to explore what’s there in crypto that made it more the center of attention. I’m just thankful that our government here is also not strict when it comes to bitcoin, although it’s not adopted yet but I know the people will make it possible in the years to come.
1535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 28, 2022, 01:16:21 PM
It could have a rematch (even if there is no written clause in the initial contract), if the fight is going to be razor sharp close or maybe even in a draw.

But if it's a convincing win, then maybe not, but if there is a huge money involved then again, they could go and fight one more before going up in weight. So I guess the fans will also have a final say and maybe the promoters are going to take that lead from us if they see a demand for it.

We never know, because that always depends on the winner if he will give a rematch, that's why to ensure a rematch will happen, it should be written in the contract. One example is the fight between Mayweather and Pacman, for some, they think it was a close fight, and both could make huge money again if Mayweather gave a rematch, but he choose not to fight again just to ensure he will keep his undefeated record.

Just curious. Maybe handlers are now doing that deal in regard to rematch, after realizing what happened with

Mayweather and Pacquiao both are hot and very sensation during those prime years, but the camp of Mayweather did not
give Pacquiao a chance to have another fight.

With the type of Crawford and Spence where there are many sponsors and advertisement the camp may include these rematch
from the contract that they will going to sign.

That would benefit the promoters more but it's necessary since it's a big fight. If a boxer refuses to rematch after a win, he can be sued since it's written in the contract, so he has no choice but to fight, and if he losses, then most likely a trilogy is gonna happen. With that possibility, it's good for the boxing community as we all know both fighters have a huge number of fans.
1536  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Boxing: Haney vs Kambosos II (Undisputed) on: August 28, 2022, 12:31:23 PM

Btw, I read somewhere that if ever Haney and Lomachenko win their upcoming fight, Arum promised that the match between this two will happen early next year.

If that's true, then that would be a great match compared to this second match-up. Haney should finish Kambosos in a clean way with Unanimous Decision or Knockout so that we will gonna see some real fight next year. Of course, Loma needs to have a clean win as well. Anyway, this upcoming fight against Kambosos is a real pressure for Haney because Kambosos already have some idea of how he moves, and that would make Haney want to try some new skills in order to avoid his opponent counters.

Both Lomachenko and Haney have a fight, and I believe both have respective easy opponents, so there's a big chance that we will be seeing a Loma vs Haney fight. It's definitely a fight that is worth to watched because it's like a 50-50 chance for both sides.
1537  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 28, 2022, 11:15:39 AM
It will still be Lebron, Davis and then WB. The rest of the supporting cast should perform as well and know their roles. It seems that last seson even their role players are out of sync. Howard was not good but just used sparingly by Vogel. For sure we will see a big difference and the system that Ham have in mind might work this time.

I'm not sure if Westbrook will stay, with the rumors around, it looks like Westbrook will be traded soon. One who season was given to him last season, and yet they still cannot even create a good chemistry, so what's the reason for keeping him if they cannot assure that their chemistry will improve.

I know Westbrook is good, but his individual talent is more valuable to him than being a team player, that's my observation.

Westbrook was not effective playing with star players that he doesn't play with for a long time.

He was traded to the Rockets, then traded to the Wizards, then traded to the LA Lakers. It's very obvious that he wasn't doing well that's why he got traded many times.
1538  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 Philippine Basketball Association betting discussion on: August 28, 2022, 10:39:08 AM

By the way, coach Chot, the game master, is he now back to TNT ? or he will be more focus with Gilas?

Not sure if I missed any info but he might add some good dribble and drive momentum for his favorite Montalbo.. Tongue Roll Eyes

I think he is still out, but his absence is not really a big deal IMO as TNT were able to compete well against SMB in game 3, it's just that their overtime period was very poor and SMB dominated them. Though no Chot Reyes, I think TNT will be alright, they know the game is very important, so a win is a must.

Agree with that, although I must say that TNT has improved under coach Chot, but as what we've seen in game 3, TNT almost win the game if only Castro's last shot went in. They were outcoach in the OT only, but maybe due to the fact that SMB was a bit lucky that time, it's just sad for TNT that they weren't able to capitalize the mistake of SMB as they still end up losing the game.

As expected, TNT had a great start, if they will continue playing this way, they'll for sure tie the series. I'm also surprised that the first quarter was a low-scoring game, I am not sure if which team would favor this kind of pace.
1539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 27, 2022, 11:41:49 AM
This also mean that he really need to work with his physique since basketball is physical sports and those veterans will surely hit him hard on the hard court. Also maybe from this he can minimize his critical injuries. This is unfortunate for him because he was so hype before season starts and I'm wondering now if he can still deliver good performance next season.

I guess we are expecting too much from him, we know he is hype, but he is just a rookie, he might not even be playing with heavy minutes, so don't expect heavy production from him. All he needs to focus now is to recover from the injury so he will be 100% prepared for the next season.
1540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Vasiliy Lomachenko vs Jamaine Ortiz - October on: August 27, 2022, 10:00:12 AM
No matter how good as a boxer Loma is, when he faces Haney, Loma will be the underdog. The reason why I think so is that Haney had defeated a guy who defeated Lomachenko. 

Nope, Haney did not defeat Lopez who defeated Loma, he only defeated Kambosos who defeated Lopez, so Haney vs Loma would be a different story. I agree that Loma will be the underdog, but I also believe that it's not going to be easy for Haney although I must say that his quickness maybe his advantage.
