?

When Melo comes back from the health/safety protocol, should he lose his spot in the rotation?

Poll closed Jan 3, 2021.

  1. Yes, he was horrible before and there are better players behind him.

    18 vote(s)
    31.6%

  2. No, but give him one last chance. If he stinks it up, into the doghouse he goes.

    3 vote(s)
    5.3%

  3. No, give him a couple more chances, and if he doesn't play well, then give away his minutes or spot.

    6 vote(s)
    10.5%

  4. No, but keep him on a short leash each game. Pull him if he's not playing well.

    28 vote(s)
    49.1%

  5. No, a player should not lose his spot because of an injury. He deserves his place in the rotation.

    0 vote(s)
    0.0%

  6. No, Melo re-signed w/ the Blazers on a min contract. He's a future Hall-of-Famer & deserves respect

    Better to look at the quality of shots than whether they went in. They were all low quality except possibly the first.

    I seriously wonder what Melos percentage is on layups is in the last two seasons. Feels like he misses a ton of bunnies.

    If it weren't for those types of passes, he wouldn't have hardly any at all...lol. Guess we should give him credit for not getting the rebound, then dribbling down to his own post up before ignoring everyone and then shooting.

    When the Blazers move the ball > When the Blazers don't move the ball.

    Also, they're picking apart our drop coverage.

    Stotts needs to be on them about moving the ball and cutting more. We're trying to force creation and passes against a completely set defense and it's not working well.

    Stotts should also probably throw a different look at them defensively because this coverage isn't working.

    Ooof...this is kind of ugly. Going back to playing like they've never played together.

    ?

    The stagnant offense isn't because of C.J.

    C.J. is averaging around 7 assists per game.

    We miss an open three, they make a contested three; seems about right.
