Thursday, April 9, 1 C.V.—SBL Taiwan Basketball—Paulan Archiland -2 -118 (Bookmaker.eu) 🌸

5 am EDT/2 am PDT—(09:00 GMT)—We head to Chinese Taipei and Taiwan and the 5-team semi-professional Super Basketball League (SBL) for this Second Stage game between Paulan Archiland (9-4 SU, 17-12 including First Stage) and Bank of Taiwan (4-9 SU, 13-16 including First Stage) on Thursday. Sportsbook Bookmaker.eu now has Paulan as -2 -118 chalks with the visitors -147 on the Moneyline and the Total at 174½u -112.

Form-wise, 4th-place Bank of Taiwan is 2-5 SU in its L (LWWLL) while 2nd-place Paulan is 4-1 SU its L5 (LWWWW) after seeing its 6-game Win Streak ended by Taiwan Beer, 99-72. Taiwan Beer (11-2, First Place, in Playoff Qualification Position) also handed Paulan its last Loss, 78-68 on April 4.

Former Duke G Matt Jones (19.8 pppg, 5.8 rpg) starts for Bank of Taiwan along with former Georgia Tech PF Charles Mitchell (19.0 ppg, 12.2 rpg) and the two former ACC players are the leading scorers for the Biting Bitcoins of the Bank of Taiwan. When these two met in SBL action on March 30, Paulan won 85-80 as they also did on March 26 (94-84) and on March 15 (109-89) in Second Stage action. So that’s at least W3 for Paulan Archiland who are led by Lithhuanian G Edvinas Šeškus (18.6 ppg, 8.5 rpg) and G Wei-Ju Chien (9.1 ppg).


While stuck inside—like all of us who would prefer to live—in her own self-quarantine, budding Humanitarian and New York City-born Lady Gaga (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) has raised $35 million banging the Telephone (instead of her Piano) for Charity for the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and has a future virtual concert (One World Together At Home, April 18) planned. We best use our precious Time wisely like GooGoo Gaga.

Time is more valuable than Gold and Compassion is the true Currency of the Enlightened. Spend it. Hey, Hugs used to be Free Homo Sapien, but now Social Distancing and Pandemics may change the world forever meaning showing Love and Gratitude to other Human Beans will change. Perhaps we can just flip each other the fucking bird (with zest), smile and kindly move on with this new and instant Nothingness.


In First Stage action, Bank of Taiwan went 3-1 SU vs Paulan Archiland—who have outscored opponents in the 2nd Half 5 straight games—but in his Second Stage, the hosts have been weak, L7 of 9 SU and doing so by double-digits in 3 of those and seeing their closest Loss by 3 with 2 5-point Losses also over that span.

Sitting 2 games back of league leaders Taiwan Beer (11-2), 2nd-place Paulan (9-4) needs to rebound off that Loss and beat any team in this mini-league not named Taiwan Beer from here on out to have a chance to snag that top spot in the Second Stage. Taiwan Beer chugged the SBL’s First Stage—despite losing its L4—with an 11-5 Record while Paulan went 8-8 with Bank of Taiwan checking in at 9-7.
