?

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.

    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

    Dame quit when he took that running corner fadeaway 3 at the end of the first half. If you're trying to come back, that's not a shot, as a veteran, you take at that point. That's a shot you take when you want to go home as fast as you can.

    Trent would’ve had 26 points by now and this game would be tied.

    At this point, you might as well clear the bench. The lack of effort and smart play is incredibly embarrassing.

    How in the fuck do you not adjust anything defensively this entire game? That's such a fucking joke. Inexcusable.

    Ya know I watch a lot of basketball. Other teams just don’t hit their wide open 3’s as well as they make them against us.

    This is weak for a practice session. I know coaches that would throw everyone out of practice with this kind of effort.

    I’m not watching this game, it was predictable we would suffer a let down after the Lakers win. I put this on Stotts, he doesn’t strike me as a motivator. I think we go 3-1 on the trip though so I’ll take it.

    The combo of Dame/CJ/Stotts will never get us to a Finals.

    That three from CJ just now off of that broken play off of Nurk was the beginning. The Clippers won't even know what hit them from this point going forward.

    Edit: I mean even the Clippers know this is the turning point. They immediately called a timeout.
