Re: Investing
Time to go conservative in the US and invest in safer lower yield funds, while we weather an upcoming storm? Or is the current panic movement going to be short lived? And there are the elections. What are you talking about? Bonds? I think the current volatility will be short lived. Once inflation c...

Re: All Blacks 2024
Will be interesting to see if Robertson persists with a non-passing, ball-hogging, selfish centre like Ioane. At this stage 12 is Barrett and 13 is wide open. I don't have a problem with Ioane on attack. It's his defence that causes me worry. He's no Conrad Smith. His pace has saved us plenty of ti...

Re: NBA season 2023/24 - Play Offs!
What's scary, is that the Nuggets haven't even hit top gear yet. They're such a well balanced team. It's early days, but I can see them going all the way.
On a slightly different subject, Jamal Murray should have been an All Star this season. I would have chosen Murray ahead of Booker.

Blackadder
Harmon
Kirifi
These are all fine players.

Re: NBA season 2023/24 - Play Offs!
Game 2 Nuggets v Lakers was awesome, huge comeback from Denver punctuated by a Murray buzzer beater (and in a reversal of game 2 of the 2020 series, it was in AD's face). Lakers will complain about some refs calls but you kind of feel that was their shot. NY v Philly was a crazy comeback, b2b steal...

It's a shame that Dangelo Russell had such a poor shooting night, as the Lakers might have stolen the first game from the champs. Might be time to get the brooms out, a sweep could be coming.Jay Cee Gee wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2024 2:45 am Den v LA first half was great.
