Didn't see the harden news, maybe he will be faster too. I read somewhere that fat people are prone to corona virus, maybe they are making it sure they will not get infected, they are playing very safe so they reduce some weight. lol.
https://www.foxsports.com/watch/undisputed/video/1743420995913
That was May 28 2020 news.
I don't know if he gained some weight again.
Yeah! That is also a good addition. If they have a healthier body then corona won't eat anything from it.
They can prevent to be infected in a longer period.

No one predicted the number 4, I think this could be possible as they are just playing in the same court, there's no home court anymore so the weakest team might not win a single game, so 0-8 for somebody.
That is all the more reason into why it is not possible.
The weaker teams or we call it at the lower seeds needs all the win they could get.
It is because they will have a chance to battle for the 8th spot.  Wink

I am surprised with Melo here, he looks young and I'm hoping he will be faster with this kind of look, he needed that as Blazers are always playing a fast pace game and he is a starter now with this team and this team is his shot for further good contract if the team succeed.

2 teams vying for one spot, but only one of them will succeed, what team would it be?

Yeah, it's the new trend.  Grin
Jokic and Melo. I once bumped into one news that Harden is also losing some weight.
We may see a fast paced NBA when it starts again.

Which one would likely happen based on your prediction?

Quote
1-The Raptors Will Emerge as Title Favorites
2-Boston's Other Star Wing Shines Brightest
3-Zion Powers the Pelicans to the Playoffs
4-Somebody Goes 0-8
5-Russell Westbrook Will Outperform James Harden
6-The Mavericks Will Finish with a Higher Playoff Seed Than the Nuggets
7-Giannis and LeBron Combine to Play Fewer Than 8 Games
8-The Anonymous Hotline Will Have a Major Impact
9-Damian Lillard Will Average 40 Points Per Game
10-The Sixers Don't Improve Their Playoff Seed

Okay, these are the only options?  Cheesy
3, 5, and 7.
4 may be impossible. Some team will  try to win even if it's not needed.
My pick 7 (Giannis and LeBron Combine to Play Fewer Than 8 Games) is not exactly what I think.
Instead of fewer games, it will be fewer minutes.

Dunno 'bout Zion but he needs to get back as quickly as possible. Now that, Pelicans have to put a real battle for similar teams vying for the 8th spot  Grin.

There's no statement yet on when he will come back and on what is the specific reason of that urgent family matters.

But here's the statement from the NBA.

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29474441/zion-williamson-leaves-nba-bubble-due-family-matter

No one is rushing him since this is a medical family matter.
But, he also know that if he consumes over 7 days outside then he will be quarantined for 10 days.
Which could also mean he may not play for the 1st and 2nd game out of 8.
If I am in the position of Zioon and I still have the goal of making the playoffs, I won't waste that.
So, expect he will be back soon just like the other players.

How about Melo losing some fats too.

That is funny. I agree with the OP that this should a lesson that we should not always follow and believe the expert's prediction or opinion. Any reactions of this from him these days?

He is not an expert for me.  Grin
He's just a guy who is pretending to know it all but in fact he just want to make a hype to profit from it.
There may be a fact that he really bought bitcoin and he want fast earnings just like others.

So, he preferred using his own personality which is known to make it happen.
But it did not.

You would really remember as Mike Conley sings the biggest contract in the NBA, and that was with the Memphis, and they would not give him that big salary if they weren't impressed by him.

Mike Conley Jr., $153 million over five years! I want to formally apologize to Chandler Parsons.

That's $30.6 million per season.
I have a trivia for one high paying contracts in the NBA history. You remember Gilbert Arenas guys?

He got paid even he didn't played on 2012.
Here is better or I think this is the one you are talking about.
 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBKueG5Elu4
According to the interview in Fair Game, Agent Zero was paid whole just to get rid of him and he made $62m with just 17 games because he was signed to Memphies Grizzlies. Wizards just don't want to deal with his problems.  Grin
Holy crap! right?

After that, he actually admitted he is making more in China.
That guy is a hell of a genius making profits with his skills.  Grin

After Zion, another player left Orlando bubble due family matters, Montrezl Harrell . That would be a big hit for Clippers if he doesn't get back on time or gets tested postive for Corona as he was was very good during regular season and surely would be missed. Maybe not for those 8 games, but in the playoffs for sure.
Quote
Los Angeles Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell has left the NBA bubble near Orlando, Florida, because of a family emergency, according to Shams Charania of Stadium and The Athletic.
Most of the Clippers have been in Florida preparing for this month's restart since July 9, with the full team expected to participate in the league's return.
Charania notes Harrell is expected to rejoin the team "at a later date".
The 26-year-old will be subject to a league-mandated quarantine of at least four days upon his return before he can begin team activities again.
https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2900623-report-clippers-montrezl-harrell-leaves-nba-bubble-for-emergency-family-matter.amp.html

4 days of quarantine if they will take less than a week outside.
But above a week will be a 10 days quarantine.
I hope they also put that on their notes.
We will be hearing more with different reasons to get out of the bubble.
Like Gordon Hayward whose expecting a baby.

And the point is?
Or is it just a reminder?

Well, that is for starters.
If you are wise enough, you won't just spend money without knowing the quality of a product.
So how you can do that?
By research, asking those who had the experience in the same field, and making sure you are on the right path.
You just need a little brainpower to make that happen.

First investment was on 2020-06-05, and invest it regularly by period, no matter it's loss or gain.

Worst situation for me is loss -10% around (due to whale win; but after couple of weeks, it's back to +gain profit anyway), best situation for me is gain +12% around.

Anyway, just let it be and see 6-12 months later how it looks like...
I love it when someone shares with green colors on it.  Grin
It's encouraging for me and might also be for others who are reading it.
Good luck to us.

I know that requires a bit of luck because just as 12 months is ending some whale could come up and win like a million doge and you would have a big loss, but unless something unexpected like that happens you will end up with a good amount of profit in 12 months. I can't wait to see the results even from today.
I don't think it will hurt more when you invested a load of time.
We are already looking at whales betting large amounts and they had been winning.
But, it doesn't put us to zero.
12 months is a long time, unexpected events could just rob days from it.  Grin

For those who have not seen what is happening inside the NBA bubble.
Here is a little inside scoop from JaVale McGee.
Day 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLZxeNO0RT4&t=2s
After Quarantine - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNug4b9fUUE
Day 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m7YnJHEWkI

Credits to him.
Note: I am not his manager.  Grin

]I think I didn't see this series, but I know Memphis Grizzlies was one of the best teams before although they don't dominate.
IIRC, with Mike Conley and Zack Randolph, and Gasol of course, they are a team that is hard to beat, the "GRIT AND GRIND" team which relies on their defense, they even beat the Clippers with Griffin in a series, so they are really good as a team, until the Warriors came in to the picture.
They also have OJ Mayo back then.

3471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: July 17, 2020, 02:29:55 PM

That's a disappointment but it's not too late, if he can prove himself in the playoffs and help his team to succeed, he might get a good contract again once his contract expires. BTW, his contract will expire next season, https://www.spotrac.com/nba/utah-jazz/mike-conley-2532/
He had his breaks.
Mike Conley is part of that 2011 Memphis Grizzlies team which upset San Antonio.
It was memorable. They are the lowest seed while SAS is in the number 1 spot.
He is on the top of the offensive players next to Zack Randolph.
Damn, that was one hell of a game and its difficult to forget. He shined pretty well in that series.

That's the difference.
It's free and you will just need to list the account names and passwords in a piece of paper.
Some may say it's a lot of work but for just an average user it is useful and better since its free.

Decentralized cloud storage. I think this will work in companies only.

More bad news, Zion Williamson left Orlando bubble due family issues. Let's hope everything goes well with his family and he stays there less than 1 week, otherwise he might miss season restart, and that means no Pelicans in the playoff

Quote
We fully support Zion's decision to leave the NBA campus to be with his family," Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin said in a statement. "Out of respect for the Williamson family, we will have no further comment at this time."
If his absence lasts seven days or fewer, Williamson will quarantine for four days upon his return to the NBA bubble if he has a negative test each day he's outside the bubble

If he is gone longer than a week, he will still quarantine for four days if he has a negative test for the final seven days he is gone. If he doesn't have the required testing, he will quarantine for 10 days.
https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/29474441/zion-williamson-leaves-nba-bubble-due-family-matter

Oh God.
I thought this will all go smoothly and now more bad news are popping out.
Anyway, something is missing out of the report of NBA and ESPN.
For me it is a somehow important.
USAToday added it.

Quote
According to the NBA's health and safety protocols, all players are expected to remain on campus. Yet, the protocols say that players can leave for extenuating circumstances and “only with prior league approval for such extenuating circumstance."
This is just to avoid jealousy and thinking about special treatment for other players like Zion.

What's the point of all these security measures if players will be allowed to go outside.

All things they need or requests can be asses by staff.

Simple as it is, "just follows the rules". No need actually for too many guidelines because after all, the player itself should understand and knows what to do. They know the reason why they are in the bubble in the first place.

Precisely. They need to comply taking this virus seriously, they don't need to do anything that might get the chance to infect them,
the spread can happen to quick so every precautions that they can do to avoid the virus should be taken place, they are professionals
so they really need  to show now.
Not though if there's contract that will lock them to this agreement, hope there's one to make it more strict.

Considering the salary these guys are getting paid, I'm surprised people don't understand that they're already getting a good deal by having their expenses paid during this whole "bubble" situation as well as being paid their NBA salary. They have every right to sit out this season and forfeit their salary/contract.

1. We all have the same idea, so why can't they have the same view as ours?
Are they really that hard-headed?
2. Don't they love playing basketball that they need more?
3. Let's say it will take 3-4 months inside the bubble to finish this season and Finals. Is it really that long for an individual?
4. Will they rather stay at home and let their teammates do the job with their salaries being cut by management?

Freaking hammer to their heads to be thankful they had been given a chance to play again in a secured way rather than being fat at home again.
3476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2020 NBA Season on: July 16, 2020, 05:46:07 PM
I actually hope they knew that already.
There will never be getting out once you are in.
Aren't the news already a proof of that and then the lockdowns and quarantines.
It should be a common sense to them.
I bet it was also written and they signed something about that rule.

For now, what they could show is more discipline.
They are professionals, maybe start acting like one.

I just recently joined in with the need for updates of whatever I will follow.

But with regards in bitcoin being affected because of a Twitter fault.
I doubt it will be that much, or better there will be none.
In the end, it is still an attack with Twitter and they are supposed to have better security with such large industry and still growing.

Now it's about sex.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jul/15/humans-need-it-will-a-lack-of-sex-force-players-to-break-the-nbas-bubble
I'll just scrape a little in that long article.
Stephen A. Smith:
Quote
“You really think that people are going to be without their wives or their woman?” he added. “Forget three months – they’re going to struggle with three weeks… I’m telling you, they’re going to violate the bubble.” Many players would have preferred to be sequestered in Las Vegas rather than Disney World, he added, given Sin City’s more adult-oriented panoply of diversions.

Quote
Contact is biologically important, he says: “Any physical touch reduces cortisol, a stress hormone. A lack of physical touch increases it. It’s not just a perception of need or hurting your well-being, there’s actually a physiological response. Human beings need to have physical touch. People who have sex regularly – or even a 20-second hug – have reduced cortisol levels.”

I agree and also disagree.
They are men, they need it. There is always the urgency to have sex with your couple.
But, they need to consider what is happening.
I think they are still not absorbing reality. Perhaps, if they will catch the virus it would be all real to them. Not that I wish for that to happen.

Why not teach them to think about workers abroad?
Leaving their wives for 1-2 years contracts in a different country without sex specially when those men will work in Middle East.
I bet they will say it is different because they are sportsmen.
How come? All men have that same urgency.

Here. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5262081.msg54791982#msg54791982

Tether and BNB should not be in line with the coins. Let's say because of their usage and industry.
So, if summed up LTC is still in a good spot.
People may be forgetting about it but it is one of the best next to bitcoin. Maybe because of the new coins that are like mushrooms.
