James Harden is the best player of the world!!!
Hahaha many James Harden fans celebrated the game yesterday and it was an amazing game for him and very intense. He became MVP and we have our different basis on what it makes to be the 'best' in the world of basketball. Many disagree to your post as he's not the best for them. That winning shot made a turn around for the whole home court of Golden State Warriors, I've read someone said its the karma that the ref's didn't called out the out of bounce pass.
No doubt that Harden did really give an amazing game.No questions on his moves and performance but concluding that best player then I highly oppose to that one but well as said we should respect anyones
opinion because we do have our own favorites.
Let's move on discussing about his statement. We have our own "favorite" players and we do acknowledge their greatness up to the point that when they do something extraordinary or when they were the one to win that game, we are assuming that player is the best. It's an opinion and there's nothing wrong on what someone thinks about that player. I respect him for having that belief with James Harden so let's proceed to other games for this month.

So we won for betting on Utah Jazz against Detroit https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.49058996. Our standing is 1-0 (W-L). For tomorrows game at this time I will take a risk, I bet on Atlanta Hawks [3.06] (Homecourt Advantage) against Miami Heat [1.43] also I bet 0.002BTC instead of 0.001 BTC as I said that we only bet 0.001 btc per game. I know that this is not a great idea because we all know that Atlanta Hawks is one of the weak team than Heat and in Eastern Conference but once speaking of Eastern Conference, this team are both Eastern Conference which is battling for a playoff seed. Atlanta Hawks will push this game to move there standing in Eastern Conference. That's enough! Lmao.


They will play at Hawks home which is a bit of an advantage and only Bazemore is only one who will not play but the Heat have a 10-7 record on the road which is a good for me. This is a bit risky if I will bet with this game but high risk = high reward as they say. Good luck with your bet Smiley . If I will bet on this, I will choose point spread rather than moneyline Cheesy.

I won again! 2-0. See if you go with my bet you could also win. I don't have any bet for tomorrow but once I already put a bet I'll edit this post. Stay tuned.
You're a great capper man, maybe I should start tailing on your pick Grin
have a great day on your day off and enjoy your winnings, maybe you should post more bets in a day if possible.

That would bring more fun!

Yeah I see that the Hawks did a great job on their home winning by a huge margin. Too bad I don't have funds in my cloudbet account at this moment but I will put some in the next few days and will bet Cheesy.

I like this Siakam dude, he is improving slowly and really complimenting Leonard at the scoring end. I do hope he continue his good play and I'm sure he will be running for the Most Improved Player this season. Bucks lost its touch didn't rotate the ball that much and their defense become questionable as well.
From the start, I know that Siakam will be a candidate for the Most Improved Player with what he is performing this season compare to last season where he is a bench. If he will continue how he is playing right now with offense then I think he has a big chance in getting that MIP award.

Yes, he could be a getting that MIP award if he continue what he had shown so far. He is even now a threat from the outside, which we never seen last season for him. And he can dribble penetrate for an easy two because he is very athletic. Might need some improvement on his defense though specially like blocking shots.

This season makes Siakam enters his prime state (I guess), Helping the raptors all the way he could brings out the best of his athleticism this season. He surely is a candidate for MIP, but I'm rooting for D.rose this year (Haha) funny but Rose did have an epic comeback after all the struggles he went through in his career. Going back to Siakam, he may be also a candidate for DPoY not only that Siakam has a good offensive rhythm but his defense is also his greatest strength, This guy can easily switch in defending a guard and/or big guys.

Coming up! Denver Nuggets at Houston Rockets home. I want to bet on the silent and understated Nuggets but it looks like the whole team in the NBA right now aren't really doing well playing on the road except maybe on the Raptors. So i'll be betting on Houston. Denver got a 4 or 5 win streak if I remember correctly including two wins at the road. What's your say?
This could go either way, so bet based on your instinct.

Rockets are good at home Denver is having some great record as well, I agree that they won their last 2 on the road but it's against a not playoff team which are the kings and the suns, I guess this time it will be harder for them to win against the Rockets. Just want to touch this, Rockets loss to the Trail Blazers on their last game, so going back home and having their first game after 2 road trip games, I think they will do better.

The Nuggets are on a 5 game winning streak and the Rockets  just ended their 6 game winning streak against the Blazers. The Rockets are good on their home but the Nuggets are good too on the road. Its very hard to bet now on this game because both are performing good right now but I think betters will bet on the Rockets because of the Home Court advantage. I think this will be a close game but the Rockets will win.

Streak are broken, just like how the pacers lose their 6 game winning streak to the raptors this morning. Maybe the rockets will pull this one too in a close game.

Based on the stats coming from this site, https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/s/siakapa01.html -he has a good improvement this year.

You can see his average points for this season so far, it's in double digit already compared to his past season in the Raptors, clearly there is a big improvement because not only his offense but all areas have improved. Maybe the reason is because he earn more good minutest that's why he was able to show his talent more.



That's right, earning more minutes means confidence build-up and lead to an increasing stats. Now that DeRozan was out of the raptors, it's time for some new blood getting the minutes and one of it was siakam gaining confidence. Even with green and Leonard was added, they are not the type of players to demand playing time, that's why other players can join the roation on the court.
I don't think it's because of DeRozan why he was not build up before, it's a coaching decision and they have a new coach which is Nick Nurse, and he is doing pretty, obviously you can see that in their current record. When DeRozan was out, they receive Leonard and Green, both are starters for the Spurs who played under a defensive style of coaching and they bring that energy here in Toronto. If they are the current team that faces Lebron in the last playoff, they will not be swept for sure and they might win against the cavs one man offense, Leonard will give Lebron a hard time and he has proven that when they beat the Heat way back and earned his first Finals MVP.

I think part of the reason why Giannis is playing so beastly is that the team is finally built around his talents. Jason Kidd was just trying to force the team into playing like he wants them to play. Bud instead makes the team play the way they want to play, that is the biggest difference.

Brook Lopez for example is a big that can shoot threes a lot better than many bigs in the league and when he is outside that means someone has to go outside to defend him and it can't be a small dude so he leaves an opennes inside for Giannis to go in, same with Middleton and others, when you have shooters outside it is impossible to stack your defenders inside so they take advantage of Giannis moving in, if people collapse on him, he can dish outside.

Sometimes they don't and he has 43 points like this. Plus Lopez not rebounding too much and instead focusing on offensive side helps Giannis to have 18 rebound type of games. This team is probably the best Giannis could hope for.

It is a sad loss for the Milwaukee Bucks.

They are full of energy at the first half getting a big lead against Toronto but they changed the way they play in the 3rd and 4th.

Leonard, although not scoring much on the first half showed why he is an MVP. Bombarded them with three's and Siakam also helping with the offense getting a new career high.
Congrats to Toronto though, a great come back.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's did have a monster game scoring 43 points with 18 rebounds as well. I like this Siakam dude, he is improving slowly and really complimenting Leonard at the scoring end. I do hope he continue his good play and I'm sure he will be running for the Most Improved Player this season.

Good for him, he is surely be part of the MVP candidates this year but having a monsters game and you were not able to give a win to your team is not fulfilling in their part. He really showed his maturity also but he needs help from his crew to win especially against one of the best team in the NBA.

Watching this game is like watching a possible NBA eastern conference finals.

I'm happy because I'm with the Raptors in this game. Grin home court advantage does not work this time.

They are full of energy at the first half getting a big lead against Toronto but they changed the way they play in the 3rd and 4th.
The Raptors also come out with full of energy, they just match the energy of the home team because they needed that as the crowd is against them.
3rd quarter was actually the different maker, if you look at the box score.
Leonard, although not scoring much on the first half showed why he is an MVP. Bombarded them with three's and Siakam also helping with the offense getting a new career high.
Congrats to Toronto though, a great come back.
The Raptors won because they showed what team work is, they share the ball very well and it resulted to a balance scoring night for them. Ibaka is also a big factor in this game, they step up and they do not rely on Leonard, unlike the bucks that relies heavily on Giannis.
