O oh! Not a good start for Melo. Shooting 4/14 in the field , turn overs and 2 offensive fouls and a big L. It seems that he's still lost, he had a couple of bad shooting selections, putting too much body causing less control with shooting the ball.
I hope he really works out for the Blazers. An off night on the debut leaves a bad impression to the fans.
That force shots seems to be the first thing that the fans will see, it's debut might be not as good  as we expected as they also loses the game.
He need to show some good plays and make impressions that he deserve this contract, he's still not secured so better to work things out and
not to disappoint the fans. Still looking forward to see his blends with is teammates.

Let's give him some time and see how it goes for him, I'm still positive that he can still contribute to the Blazers. I'm sure his fans just love to see him back in game and it might take some time for Melo to adjust to the Blazers style of play. So maybe in his next game we can slowly see him score and progress every game.

Yeah, but it is not over yet.
There is just too much weight being put in his shoulders and I think he knows it, that is why he plays this kind of a bad game.
The shooting style is there and the right positioning. Even his post ups are really good.
Problem is he easily gets disappointed after the ball wont get in. He should take that out of his system.

He might relax after 3 more games.
Critics should not get into his head. Keep playing and maybe he can show what he is really meant to do.

Of course he can't perform well since it's his first game since the start of the season. Although he's on a bad start, I think he can come back in this loss and maybe become better as the season goes by.

Well, it's good that you are still optimistic, hopefully this will not end up like his journey with the Rockets and the Thunder.
He was shooting pretty well int he 3 point line this game but playing limited minutes might also limit his production but we will see the real value of the team once Lillard is back, being a starter, he should be able to improve his play for a bigger contract, its his chance so definitely he will have to try harder.

Yes, Alec Burks still plays for Warriors. I think he played well enough to fill the position left by D'Angelo Russell because he was injured.
It was his 11 games but he was only noticed in this game because he exploded.
During the last season, he played with a lot of teams, played with UJAH, Sacramento Kings, and Cleveland Cavaliers, until this season he was sign by the Warriors I guess.

His history is found in here https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/b/burksal01.html

By the way, I found a great contest for NBA lovers here. a betting contest from Sportsbetio. take a look here https://sportsbet.io/promotions/american-streak-hero

I've tried it. This is a win streak contest, so you have to made a bet on every game if your bet lost the score will return to zero again.
this is difficult in my opinion. prizes distributed every week for the top 10

Looking at standing of the teams now, I guess many GSW fans are disappointed on how the team's run currently. I'm not a fan of them but sadly, they are at the last standing on the Western conference.

That is expected so nothing unusual nor surprising. If those fans are disappointed, they don't understand the whole Warriors situation. They aren't really a fan. Some fans even accept that Warriors will not shine this season right back directly before NBA season-opener.

But honestly, being currently on the bottom does have an advantage to them. Lots of time for their main core to get back on shape for the next season and they will surely have a good ticket on the next year's draft pick. Give up the goal this season and those remaining Warriors should use this opportunity to somehow be used on following Kerr's system.
That's all they can do for now and it looks that they already saw what will be the standing of the team for this season. There's always a chance for the next seasons to come and I hope that their main players and team itself will shape up and get back quickly.

Anyway, I feel bad for Kuzma while watching him. That's painful to be honest because it's bleeding. The fingernail probably exerted too much force on his eyes.

On the other hand, Warriors got their 3rd win against the Grizzlies 114-95

Warriors was +6 going to this game but they were the one who are dominating the Grizzlies at their own home court, this shows how poor the defense of the Grizzlies  as they easily loss against an undermanned team of the Warriors.

Draymond Green almost had a tripe double in this game, he was just short 2 points.

on the leading scorer, we have Alec Burks who scored 29 points for this win and I'm surprise because I thought he wasn't part of the Warriors, known him back when he was still playing with the Utah Jazz.

@harizen, congrats on the win, you predicted it right, and we will see Anthony making his debut against the Pelicans, let's see what he can bring to the Blazers now that Lillard is always out.
His debut game didn't end up well as they lose against the Pelicans 115-104. Anthony got 10 points with 4/14 FG while McCollum is their leading scorer with 22. For me, Ingram has been improved since he is in the Pelicans compare to as when he is in the Lakers years ago. He is averaging around 20+ PPG.

On the other hand, Warriors got their 3rd win against the Grizzlies 114-95 and the Lakers won against the Thunder 112-107 and LBJ got a triple double. Kings also won against the Suns 120-116

Will Melo be able to sign this year? As for me, YES. I pick YES because I think no one will bet for it based on the current Melo's situation that is almost no development or progress if some teams will still show interest to sign him. So basically, I'm the one who has the most risks here. Smiley

BTC0.005 each for first 2 who will take the bet.
This is very interesting, so this means we will know who will win by January 1, 2020?  I like to reserve that first slot then if the answer to my question is yes. I will bet against you.  Grin

DEAL. Quoted for reference.

My chances are until December 31, 2019: 23:59. Let's follow the BITCOINTALK FORUM TIME.

1 more taker open.

Hey mate. Looks like I have won. Smiley A sign, whatever the offer, is still a sign.

Carmelo Anthony to sign with Portland Trail Blazers

Anyways, we can wait until we see Melo playing actually on the court before we finished this deal so these reports and agreements are not just a pure statement.

-bump- Smiley

I loss in this beat, good job man, you guess it right that Melo will come back in the NBA.

I am sending you a PM now about your btc address so i can see your winning.. congrats.



Regarding Melo, looks like he had a bad start with his new team, they loss against the Pelicans today.

I don't know why the thunders benching their top scorer in the dying minute of the fourth quarter. Schroder should be in the game instead of Ferguson, I mean he played well this time and being benched on the dying minute makes me wonder why. Anyways, LeBron and Davis showed to the NBA why they should be feared and I think they have the highest chance to reach the finals if injury doesn't take place.

Lakers are leading by 10 points now, the halftime score is 63-53.
In the 3rd quarter now and they are still in control, they are very consistent, good for Lakers.

Davis has a fine shooting night, he was 3-3 so far in the 3 point area.
That will make him more confident because he hasn't miss a single attempt, Davis + Lebron is really big, hard to beat their team because they already have the chemistry.

This is what we called a complete player and all big man should be like him, he can block, rebound, drive the ball, and even shoot 3s.
Lakers really have a great chance on beating their opponent easily as long as these 2 will play.

Maybe he is the best big man in the NBA, but can we consider him even if he is not playing the center position?

About the Suns, 3 of their key players are questionable and likely will be out. Hard to catch up with the Sacramento Kings with an incomplete squad.

Your bet is currently in a tough situation but a good return once you win them both.

It's not that good, in my book its suns ML is just 2.26, so you will only get extra 26 percent if the suns wins the bet.

I am looking for a possible -3.5 suns, I don't know which sportsbook could provide me that kind of odds, it was available before at sportsbet IIRC but its not available now.

If you bet and risks a minimum BTC0.01, still a good return though if Suns ML win. And I think -3.5 handicap for Suns will have the same odds with the provided ML lines if that will become available.

Maybe the option for -3.5 Suns changed because of the confirmation that some of the Suns' players will not play. But still, I will not risks any money for Suns now. The Kings gives a close match to some of the strong teams today like Utah, Lakers, Celtics so a healthy lineup does matter playing against this team.

It is can be seen now, the Suns is being hit hard by the Kings.
I dont think they can get up from this.
Even with Booker and Saric out there, they cannot just make it.
17 points lead and not a good answer until the half time. They really need to step up if they want a win.
Kings might really win this game.

Kings already lead 21 points now, I thought that Rubio could help in this game but he only scored 1 point so far, this is definitely an easy win by the Kings.

After this,  suns should regroup and figure out how to win again because if they can't come back and allow the kings to route them, this only showed that they are the same shitty team they were in the past seasons.

Tonight I like the Pelicans ML and Suns ML but no parlay as I'm sick of one team messing it up for me.

New Orleans Pelicans is currently having lots of injured players which the most was part of their main lineup. It might not be a problem but still, it will lessen their offensive power. Just do hope for them to spoil the possible return and debut of Carmelo Anthony.

About the Suns, 3 of their key players are questionable and likely will be out. Hard to catch up with the Sacramento Kings with an incomplete squad.

Thanks for the heads up on telling of a well wounded new orleans team. I knew about williamson but not of the other major players on their team such as favors and ball.
Havent watched a pels game since the beginning of this season.
As of now in the fourth it looks as if carmelo anthony signing was all hype with not much payoff. He had 4 fouls before the half.

Not good I thought Memphis will overcome the Pelicans considering some of the injured players.  Ingram and Holiday got the highest points for the Pelicans team, sounds really a bad omen for the Debut of Carmelo Anthony. Well he played well but only managed to score 10 points for the entire game. Maybe he needs more game to strengthen again his basketball experience after having a short break for a while.

I think Blazers can withstand the Pelicans so I bet with them, too bad with the ending result  104-115 giving them 5-10 standing.
