I am very sympathetic to CZ on his case in USA and I was actually sad of learning that he is facing some possible jail time...now when the sentence finally came there is a big sigh of relief that it is just actually just four months.

I don't get why you're sympathetic towards him when he's just one of the many cunning businessman. If you've had your KYC with Binance before the case, most likely all your information and history has been handed out to the US law enforcement or maybe including Interpol. That's probably one of the main reason why he only got a light sentence.

He also cries for a foul on nearly every bucket he misses. Just play the damn game man.

This. He also complains in his interviews if they don't get the calls and acts ignorant if it's the other way around. "I think they fouled and we didn't" (something like that) is what he said when there was a huge gap in free throws in their favor.

In other news, the knicks will likely finish off Philly next game, the Mavs will finish off LA next game, Indy should finish off the Bucks unless Giannis and Dame are back, and its a toss up on Cleveland vs Orlando.

I can agree that Cavs and the Magic is the toughest one to predict.

I don't think this will be a draw but it will be close, maybe a low scoring match with 1-0 goal. If you're unsure of who would win, the odds for total score (under) are also attractive.

under 2.0 @3.9
under 2.5 @2.4
under 3.0 @1.94

Anyone who followed this prediction? I won some from picking the under 2.5. Honestly, I was thinking it would be PSG that would come out as the winner but I didn't take the risk and I opted for the total score instead. Anyway, I expect the second leg to produce more goals.

A close game between Cavs and Magic for the pivotal game 5 at Cleveland. This series seems to be all about protecting their own ground as all wins by both teams were at home.

Banchero's last 3-point shot came a little too late, he already missed a couple in the final 2 minutes and that could have been the difference from losing to winning.

Props to Mobley for making 4 crucial points in last 2 minutes and, more importantly, the block on Wagner with 5 seconds remaining.

Honestly, I'm not sure which of these two teams will make it to the Western Conference Finals yet.

Yeah, it's unpredictable. They are also even in the regular seasons (each with 1 win as a visitor). For game 1, the Nuggets are the favorite @1.49 to Wolves @2.7. I guess that's because of the home court advantage (elevation). I think the Wolves can get at least 2 games in this series.

Great series. Final Nuggets shot was almost the same as game 2, ISO for Murray with Jokic setting screen for a potential pick and roll.

Another thing that change the game was Gordon's offensive rebound that lead to Murray's three (for a 2-point lead) with one minute remaining was huge for the Nuggets. Lebron was trying to box him out but he still managed to get it.

I would suggest what examplens said above too (borrowing in the same currency). Instead of looking for alternatives, perhaps you could work on improving your credit standing in order to increase your chances of loan approval. You also said you've had one before from a commercial bank, have you looked at other banks? There may be smaller ones that offers loans with better terms.
