Last night, both of the Raptors-Wizards and Nets-Knicks games were really enjoying to watch.

Raptors got a huge win (103-101). They were nearly losing the game but Trent G.'s buzzer-beater brought the win to his team.

Nets-Knicks was also a very tough one for both sides (114-112). Harden played for only 4 minutes and couldn't do much. But Irving carried the team to the victory with his great effort (40 PTS, 2 REB, 7 AST).

Here is the video for those who are interested,

I think it's no surprised that most of the athletes right now are into bitcoin or crypto in general. And this is a good news to us hearing someone as famous as Giannis, mentioning BTC, who knows maybe he has invested already.

NBA and crypto, a pairing made in heaven.  It's crazy to think that Giannis even knows what Bitcoin is.  It goes to show you that most folks nowadays are aware of what it is and that it's making a lot of people a lot of money.  I'm not sure this is a good sign of a healthy market, but hopefully the bubble isn't ready to pop yet. 
I think it's a good sign for the market, panini also been doing a blockchain card for example for the card collectors, NBA top shots which is a trend, wherein players also join podcast and drops, every time drops happen an NBA player join in the live podcast and tries to join the pack drops, which means they already know about cryptocurrencies earlier, mark Cuban in the statement owns a lot of ethereum, once other players admit that they also own crypto coins, this will make also the price explodes because their fans will also be curious.

Looks like Paul Pierce was let go by ESPN. I guess he probably shouldn’t have posted that video of him at a house party with a bunch of strippers, I’m not sure what he was thinking. With all that’s going on today and athletes not respecting women he had to of known this was coming. It looks like his excuse is that he meant to hit private only but the video was posted publicly for everyone to see. I guess we’ll have to wait and hear what his public apology sounds like. He wasn’t very good as a commentator anyway, so I don’t think fans will miss him too much.

While he may want to be remembered for saying, “I called game.” I think more likely he’ll be remembered for having to be carried off the floor during a game because he crapped his pants.

Tough loss for the knicks tonight.  Had the game tied with 15 or so seconds to go and had the nets miss a shot.  Then give up an offensive rebound and a foul with 3 seconds to go.  They are starting to look like the second half knicks of past where they just flop into nothingness.  They need to snap this losing streak and string a couple wins together.

Yes, I wanted the game to go into OT or at least a win for the Knicks because I have bet on it.

Odds for the OT is @6.x. And then I got a boosted odd @3.x for a Knicks win. Sad

Again, they seems to be losing this kind of close games, they lead most of the games but unfortunately, at crunch time, they let the opponents score on them, and then they are now the own doing the catch up. They are very inconsistent, and if ever they got to the playoffs, chances are they are going to be eliminated in the first round with this kind of showing.

They are struggling, they need to solve this problem the soonest so they'll not go down. Nets are playing without Harden due to early exit but they just dont' have the ability to win in close game. Knicks had an impressive start but here we are back in the old days.

Could have been better if Randle shot went in for overtime.
It's almost like the same thing that happened last time they met.
It was Randle who made the last shot but called for a travel. Announcers told it was cleared and the refs viewed the replay and it was really a travel.
Now he also got the last shot and he have a good look, he just couldn't make it fall.
My bet was -3.5 for the Nets, that's why I am looking for a chance in overtime.  Grin

What about this answer came from Giannis that says Bitcoin, where someone has asked them what they do for a living.. just a word Bitcoin though, will it matter or not?

I'm a Warrior fan still until now even though Klay isn't that healthy but its obvious right now that they aren't a playoff contender (10th in the Western Conference as of now). I still believe though that they will comeback as a whole next season and will try to reclaim what they need to reclaim but they need to be healthy all throughout the season if they really want to do it.

Definitely the Warriors still has a chance to reclaim their old glory, assuming that Klay with be back next season, Curry and Green. What positive though is that there are young talents within their roster right now that can mature or at least gain the experience so that when the 3 play again, those players can help big. Oubre, Wiseman, Wiggins, Paschall should take this opportunity and shows that they can be part of the bigger picture in the future.

They are still the favorite despite of these injury, as a bettor I'll go with the knicks as they are also improved this season. Nets are successful with Harden on the floor, without him, I'm confident that Knicks will win or will just cover, at least there's a points handicap.

However, this news seems telling us that Harden will play, so I'm not gonna push my bet.

Kevin Durant still out for Nets as James Harden returns against Knicks
Looks like you made a good decision of not betting on Knicks because the Nets won by just 2 points.

Kyrie got 40 points and surprisingly Jeff Green is somewhat fit with the team and his performance improved in this last few games. He got 23 points and sealed the victory with his 2 crucial free throws. Harden didn't play that much (only 4 minutes) but they managed to get the W.

History for now as they don't have Klay for now, but moving forward, they are still trying to play and compete that's already a good thing, for the former champ.

For now, they are trying but they really lack of talents to provide the win, while other teams are now forming a good selections
GSW are not in the same caliber to contend for the title again, maybe not now but once Klay start to work for them, the chance
still possible.
That's for them and they can't do with that but to embrace it.

I know that they'll comeback stronger just like the other teams but it seems that they really can't make it for this season.

There's nothing and them we can do with their situation.
They have a chance to reclaim what they have during the past years but looks like Klay's injury really destroyed it Sad.

Sadly, they wont have Klay for this season. Klay is aiming return the start of next regular season 2021-22. Speaking of injuries, Brooklyn vs New York coming up soon. Durant is out injured so is Blake Griffin. Harden is questionable for the match as well with muscle injury. They really need to push harder so that they can be the top seed, which is likely but not a guarantee. They have the same wins and losses as 76ers at the moment.

It is Kyrie who are carrying the load for the Nets now, not watching the game live, just look at the score and it seems that Harden played limited minutes? So it's a close game with Knicks leading 77-70.

So let's see if Kyrie can do it alone, just like Harden did Kyrie and Durant is not playing. It's going to be a tough game, as we all know that Knicks is very physical, but they have problems closing a game.

Hey NBA fans! Have you watched the video about this famous Tiktoker who has been asking crazy rich people what they do for living?
Well, guess what? He ran across Giannis and Thanasis Antetokounmpo and ask him what he do for living, and he answered "Bitcoin" (jokingly).
 https://youtu.be/ubbXedp6cwM
(video not mine)

Well, this is another exposure for Bitcoin in social media coming from a sports celebrity.

What do you guys think?

He was joking but they were already expose with what is bitcoin, and I believe there are already a lot of NBA players who are investing with bitcoin, they are just not vocal with it, except for Spencer Dinwiddie/ (https://news.bitcoin.com/nba-star-spencer-dinwiddie-just-tokenized-his-own-contract/)

If they have millions of followers then definitely that would make their followers curious and that would help the adoption of crypto.

In the absence of Curry in the starting five, GSW were totally demolished by Raptors last night. It was really an embarrassing result for GSW surely (130-77).

I really liked Siakam's performance that he got 36 PTS, 7 REB, 5 AST.
I guess we have to set our expectations low for Golden State Warriors already. With all of those straight championship that they've made, I think that's enough already for them.

There are other stronger and better teams this time.

If they only have a healthy Thompson, they could be more competitive, Curry sometimes have injurt problem so it has affected the entire performance of the team as he is the main man of the team. They actually have a good start, I'm seeing them in rank 5 to 8, but now they are already in rank number 10 with 3 wins only in the last 10 games.
Injury really sets a team into a bad shape when their star players are the ones having it.

We have to accept whether we're fans or not that, they're really not in good shape anymore and the championships that they got made history already.

No team would really be on a better shape once their main or star players had been injured.Yes, we can say that it isnt just a one-man type of game but losing them in the court would

really be giving out such impact which is unfortunate.When they are on the court then their teammates would really be having that kind of boost up since they do know
that they can really fight up well because theyre capable in to.

Im expecting for GSW to have some good numbers already but sadly when Curry had been injured then it is really going to the opposite way.
