Right, I also like live betting eventhough I am just watching through the boxscore and not the actual live game. You will have a slight prediction on what's to happen next if you do live betting. Though it is not a guarantee of winning but atleast it increases the chance.

We love live betting especially if you are watching it also, watching to the live score does not help a lot, you can't tell what they are doing in the court when you are not watching the entire game, but, I respect your style since we have our own style, if you have a lot of time and you put a decent amount, you'll surely gonna ensure you will be able to watch the game live.

I have tried that.
It is actually difficult. Just using google as the basis of score and all who are making it.
I lost some in it and then I stopped.  Grin Can't lose more.


Portland TrailBlazers vs Toronto raptors
*This is an even game for me, both are good teams.
I already bet for the Raptors here. even with the negative in total score.  Grin
Oklahoma Thunder vs Brooklyn nets
*both lose their last game, can the Thunder easily get a win against the weaky Nets?

This though, I am still thinking about.
Kyrie had an injured shoulder and it looks like he wont play again.
Yeah, I stopped thinking. I will bet for OKC.  Grin That fast!

I wouldn't say that Nets is a weak team. They are almost the same in standings.

7 for The Thunders

8 for the Nets

but I think I'll go too with Thunders.

Nets were a good team with Irving playing with them, at least him because he and Durant was suppose to lead this team but they are both out now, and Irving might have a shoulder surgery that might extend his rest period.

BROOKLYN NETS GUARD KYRIE IRVING TALKS SHOULDER INJURY

Without him, Nets might not be able to hold the playoff spot.

we can say that they are in the top 8 but let's check their record in the last 10 games, it's very poor with 3-7. (https://www.nba.com/standings)
Yeah, I'm also aware of that. I'm basing on the standings they have but that's it.

And with the remaining players they've got, we can't say if these guys will outperform their opponent team which is a typical scenario most of the time in NBA.

Although they perform well on early season still not a guarantee to take a spot on playoff if their continuous run will became more weaker and I think Irving is in bad shape right now since he have a mental issue maybe he's depress or anything but if he cannot overcome that it can affect his performance on the court. But if they cannot get a perfect run for this season maybe on next year when Durant came back they will be a good contender on playoffs or maybe in finals.

I think there was a huge difference between what Vince did in his career and what Dirk did, and thats not just winning a championship. Vince started his career at raptors, he forced his way into a trade to an already good team and built one of the OG trios with him and kidd and Jefferson all of which at the time playing their best game at Nets and they played very well, than when that was over he moved onto another team and another team and another team constantly changing teams. Even if he won a ring anywhere, it wouldn't be same as Dirk who has the longest tenure of a player in the same team with 21 seasons, of course getting a ring made Dirk loved more but even if he didn't get any rings dude would have been loved in Dallas for just playing there for 21 years straight.

It is also the Mavericks that I think made it happen.
They never let Dirk Nowitzki go.
Even though they havent got a championship for decades they never gave up on him.
Unlike other teams which will just trade a player who cannot even get them to the playoffs. A star of course.

Yeah, Carter is way far from how Dirk did it. He really pursued to be a better player. Imagine having an era of big guys like Shaq and what could a skinny guy could do below the rim? Nothing.
So he find ways.
If I will choose, I will go for Dirk.

The Lakers have been frustrating in games where they are killing teams in the first half but in the second half they can't go on with it. Its good for live betting if that's something you like to do like myself as I have been doing well taking the other team to cover the big spreads. The Lakers really need to work on this so they can give AD and LeBron a rest in the 4th quarters and their bench needs to do more to help out.

Huge swings like that are great for betting.  Wait til they get up big in a game with a large starting spread and you are golden.  If you watch the trends it's easier live betting then before the jump.  Ypu get to see which team is up for the fight that night too.

Lakers are good in winning games but not good in covering the spread, their current record is 18-17-1 and what I noticed is that they do cover when they play against a good team but they usually fail on weak teams like the Pistons.

Yeah but he's unlike Dirk who carry his team to win a championship. The way Vince played his game, I don't think he is capable of carrying his team to the top. Anyways, he can still be a champion only if he join a super team who are able to win a title for him.

There's a lot of great players in the NBA that never won a championship in their entire journey.

you can check on the list, https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1662401-power-ranking-the-25-best-players-never-to-win-an-nba-championship#slide26

Honorable Mentions are : Carmelo Anthony (2003-Present) , Grant Hill (1994-2013), Dwight Howard (2004-Present), Tracy McGrady (1997-Present)...


AND (wanna bold this one) LEBRON JAMES WOULD NEVER WON A CHAMPIONSHIP IF HE DIDN'T CREATE A SUPER TEAM.



It's true that Dirk Nowitzki won a championship without any superstars and that's what really great on him. He can carry games by himself with some role players to guide the game.  I want to point out your last statement. I agree on that, yet that phrase should go also with Jordan, Curry and many more champs.

By playing in the match yesterday, Vince Carter officially made history by becoming the first player in NBA history to have played in 4 different decades: 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020. During that time, he played for eight different teams starting from the Raptors, Nets, Magic, Phoenix, Mavericks, Grizzlies, Kings and the present and last Hawks. truly an extraordinary player. What do you think about this player guys?

Suddenly, I looked at the roster of Dallas Mavericks when they won the championship.
Shockingly, he is not there.  Grin
It was just already 2011-2014 when he joined the Mavericks.

Why I went this far?
I want to see if he ever did win a championship. He did not. The Nets was when he was best for me. He was totally upgraded at that time.
His ultimate masterpiece.

If he won at least one championship, it could have been different as people will love him more.
Look at Dirk, he wasn't as exciting as Vince Carter but he was honored by the City as he provided a championship for them.

I am not saying I did not appreciate his achievement, as for me, championship really matters a lot.

I do agree with that.
Although he is a star, he needs that ring.
This might be his last season of his career but his dunks will never be forgotten.
It is still being carried at the dunking contests by participants who wants to give commemoration for this uber dudes who really made a difference in basketball.  Grin

Clippers still won the game against the young Knicks even though they had a big lead at the 1st.
They just could not preserve it even without Kawhi playing against them.
Lou Williams was so hot with 6-10 three points.

Not only Vince broke the record with playing in 4 different decades but he also has the record with 22 seasons played as well, I mean he could have joined the league in 2000 and would only be in 3 decades with 8 more years required for the 4th so being able to play in 4 different decades is a record that is basically a bit of luck, anyone who was drafted in 09 could also potentially break the record by playing in 2030 but I doubt anyone would have that kind of longevity Vince has 22 years! That is more than Kareem who used to have the most games played and so forth records (dunno if he still has them) but what Lareem managed is totally different since dude also played 4 years of college basketball as well before he joined, if he didn't do that and joined right after high school like many people used to do, he would had 24 years and easily broke Vince's current 22 record.

This guy is resilient. At 42 and he is still going at it. It is not easy to play in the NBA and at his age, I know it is a challenge. It does not matter that he doesn't have a ring. The performance he did during his prime is still remarkable. And he is still playing so there is still a chance that he could get one.
Playing in 4 different decades is no joke and we can really see the passion of this man for basketball.
This would be a good read about Vince carter;https://clutchpoints.com/vince-carter-longest-career-nba-history/
He loves the game and he really wants to show that he can still compete, the age is just a number while his dedication to show up that he's still
capable doing what he loves is really amazing. He will be remembered especially with people who seen him from the list of top 10 nba plays and
you'll noticed that if not all most of the plays belongs to him..

Becoming a champion is the desire of every NBA player. Is Vince Carter satisfied with his career? I don't think he will be satisfied. but for me, he is a player who has a high dedication to the NBA. He was just unlucky to be a champion and I don't think he was alone. Carmelo experienced the same thing until right now
