What are your thoughts about the latest injury of Jusuf Nurkic? This is the link to that video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvolan-diXY. Not advertising the video but, dude that was a gruesome injury and I thought not to play basketball more because of this. I think I might be playing 2k19 because of this.

I did not watch the video, I just read the comments from here .
This is a serious one and Nurkic might not be able to play the off season, and this will hurt the Blazers. With him, they are doing better this season but I'm seeing a first round exit for this team without Nurkic.
Nurkic is definitely one of the most important players for the Blazers but it is still early to say if this is going to affect them that much as you say. Kanter will probably take his place and I think we should wait and see how they play with this new formation for the rest of the season and they make assumptions about their playoffs run.
I was watching the game and didnt even notice when it happened. He just came down at an angle and with his body weight his leg just couldnt take the force coming down.
Just minutes before it lillard was almost injured by a kickout while a brooklyn player was shooting a three. They were saying blazers had a shot at the warriors but now with CJ and Nurkic out it is looking bleak.

You should have been adding PBA games in your betting site. We Filipinos are fond of gambling and that's one of our negative side. And also, about the basketball game in our country. Well, it's sad to say that we're not havint the genes of being giant, but we surely love basketball from the bottom of our hearts. Are you going to add World Cup games? That would be fun.

Nice. Specially the upcoming FIBA. I think we should have bet on this since many of my fellow Filipino supports the game and it would be nice to add it also. For sure many of us will join which we hope that it will available soon. Grin

Back to NBA, it was really shocking. It was like the injury of Paul George and we hope that he could get back too just like PG did.

@Xenrise - Thanks for the feedback! We usually have a decent selection of PBA games available but they seem to have come down recently, I'll be speaking to the sportsbook team today to investigate and get them back up ASAP. I'll also pass on the request regarding the World Cup, it would be great to run a bracket promotion!

That Nurkic injury was a nasty one, made me cringe watching the replay  Shocked  Hope he is able to recover soon, otherwise the Blazers could be looking at an early exit.

I watched the video and I saw the leg of Nurkic, it became like a jelly, I'm sorry for the adjective but that is the closes I can get from my mind. This injury will not just hurt Blazers or Nurkic but also to his family. We hope for a speedy recover from Nurkic. He was injured in 2OT. That was like a deciding time for 2 teams and he was injured. It's like getting to the finish line in a car racing but you stumble and fall. Sad.
This is a physical sport, injuries are already given but unfortunately it happened to him.
What we can do now is to hope for his speedy recovery, it will hurt his team, his family, and possibly those gamblers who are betting for this team in NBA futures.

I agree, this kind of injury is really worst specially for a center and all we can do is pray and hope for his speedy recovery. I'm sure that there are mental challenges as well for athletes who suffered this kind of injuries. So the complexion of the playoffs has changed dramatically as and gamblers need to adjust as well as the playoff contenders.

OHHH,  one of the worst injury I witnessed. For sure he can't play this season and this is a serious blow to the Portland, I don't know but this could be the end and it's going to be difficult for them to past the first round.

Yeah his legs just snapped like that and seriously the referee didn't noticed and it seems he hurt it more. Anyways, we hate seeing players injuring themselves and hope Nurkic can recover from the gruesome and potential career ending injury.

Exactly, It's different when Bogut manned the center to block sides or play defense against opposing teams.
Bogut already proven can play and they won championship with him.
The chemistry is already there, they don't have to build that long, he is a real defender with a big body and can block shots.
In crucial minutes especially when in close games, he can be pulled out due to his poor FT shooting.


And him knowing the plays already, just a few adjustments on his side and he is good to go.

And now they are back as the number one seed with because th Nuggets lost against the Pacers. Curry and Klay lead the team in scoring.

I'm more confident on the warriors now that they have him back, they will remain the best team and they improve as the playoffs is approaching.

@rhomelmabini - Yeah typically VPN use is frowned upon at cloudbet as it has been used in the past to bypass our territory restrictions, which leads to a whole load of other issues.

PBA is indeed the Philippine League, and we have seen a big increase with people betting on that tournament recently. I didn't realise how huge basketball was in the Philippines until now!

The mavericks served warriors their own medicine by shooting threes just like they have been doing to other teams.

The good thing is that they bounce back today.
It's just a single digit win but enough to entertain the crowd and erase their bad performance yesterday.
All the starters are playing and scoring well, BTW, no cousins in this game.

I think Bogut is better for defensive purposes.
That's the reason I seen why they sign Him back, defense is one of those key to win as Green can move accordingly while he there to protect the boards, Cousin is more on offensive threat than defensive  so they need Bugot to fill it up, it will be a smooth adjustment since he already got the idea how
the team rotate and he's familiar with the system, each time they needed him inside surely he  will be ready to deliver.

Guys be really careful with your bets.

This is the time now where there could be teams that will try to lose games just so they could match up with a team which weakness is them.
One example could be GSW who may be selling their games for that purpose. Since they already have a spot in the playoffs they may want to go against a team which they could sweep in the first round and save their energy for the 2nd round.
It is a tactic which happens quite a lot and also might get wrong.

Just watch out.
PS: I am just using GSW as an example but I am not sure they are really doing it by now.

Isn't it against the rule to deliberately lose a game?

I mean if NBA found out that they are going on losing intentionally then they could be fine.

They still needed to be #1 seed to really game that home court advantage specially if they face Denver Nuggets? No?

It was just one of those very rarely nights where the underdog team has one of their best days and hit every shot. I've watched 2 quarters of that match, the Mavericks were unstoppable from 3 point range, GWS also helping them by giving open shots. GWS without Curry is not the same team. Their tempo is a lot slower and obviously the 3 point percentage is lower.
The best thing about this game is they didn't even have Porzingis to play with them and even though they don't have their best line up they still managed to win by a huge margin. Doncic is one of those players who is really passionate about the game and he will do anything to win  every game he has. Mavericks have a promising future and I think by the time Nowotzki retire he knows that his team will have a good replacement for him. The only thing stopping them is that other teams are really better than them right now and if they want to win another championship they must have a good line up to match against the contenders.

Bogut is better because he doesn't require the ball that much. When you have Draymond who doesn't require the ball that much that is great for you, when you also have Bogut that means you can forget about 2 players to score, they can definitely get couple of baskets when they are wide free but that is not really what they are there for, they are there to fulfill a role they were given. That way you can share the field goal attempts between curry and Klay and Durant, even Klay doesn't usually get as much as curry and Durant but sometimes he just goes supernove and hits a bunch of baskets.

When you have everyone on the floor trying to score, than it becomes a challenge between who will be shooting, after a while some players will be like "it has been 10 possessions and I haven't touched the ball yet" and that is not really a good way to distribute the ball.

That buzzer beater from Lamb last night though  Shocked


First time stopping by here, so I thought I'd share our current promotion for all you bball betting fans!





We've just lowered the minimum stakes in our Bitcoin Sportsbook to just 0.00000010 BTC (10 sats), and we are celebrating with a March Madness 1 BTC giveaway!

For every 0.0001 BTC wagered on NBA, NCAA, or PBA games, you gain 1 ticket to the prize draw on the 9th April (Max 50 tickets per day!)

That's a potential return of x10,000 on one entry!  Shocked


Today's big game sees the Magic face the 76ers in the NBA, and theres plenty of value to be found with low stake / long odds lines. I'm leaning towards a bet on Magic on the point spread (+2.0 @ 1.96) and total points (over 108.5 @ 1.89), they seem to be on a bit of a hot streak of late while the 76ers will be looking to bounce back from last game's defeat against the Hawks.

What are your predictions?

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

That's a very nasty and savage buzzer beater from Lamb.

Well, I'm new to Cloudbet because last time I used VPN and it restricted me to play the games out there. If I'm not mistaken PBA is the basketball game held in the Philippines, right? If yes, I guess I'll take some bets in this contest, though it's more exciting now on NBA as games are getting bigger and bigger each day.
