?

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

    No, they'll lose at least one of the games against the Warriors.

    They're totally tuning out the coach and just playing like they don't give a shit.

    Jordan Kent raving about how hot CJ is.
    7-16....not exactly smokin'. Is shooting it very well from '3', but overall, that is not great.

    They get a lot of practice taking wide-open 3s against us, though.

    CJ doesn't get the attention that Dame does. I don't know if anyone in the league sees the kind of coverages that Dame does.

    Different personnel, same tendencies. Terrible defense and 3rd quarter meltdowns.

    The 18-19 team had an identity. This one floats through quarters like they’ve been to the finals 3 straight years and can turn it on at any time.

    He sounds like some kind of NBA / Google joint venture AI bot trained exclusively on Mr. Rogers episodes.

    I think they sweep the Warriors. They'll do just enough to keep the criticism from reaching Defcon 1.

    Tonight it's not Melo fault it's the whole team defense they can't figure out.

    We have some folks on this board with serious mood swings, and I’m not even talking about the one diagnosed as bipolar. Bad nights happen. The Clippers lost by 50 a few days ago. Tonight they can’t miss. Meh. A split in LA is fine. Sweep the dubs.

    That was the first defensive possession all 5 guys gave full effort the whole possession. All it took was being down 27.

    Right now? This the same offense that Stotts has run for his entire tenure in Portland. Just let players iso every time down the court. That’s not an offense despite what all his fanboys on this forum keep bleating. The defense is beyond a joke and the dimwit clearly has no answers... none. He isn’t even willing to try something different.
