?

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.

    0.0%

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

    So Stotts puts a short leash on Trent and Ant, but Melo gets whatever he wants. Yeah I am sure the players are feeling good about that.

    He might. But the Warriors have a lot of the same problems as the Blazers and don't even have the Blazers' talent.

    I don't see the Blazers imploding like a nuclear explosion. I see the Blazers imploding like the water torture. They beat the bad teams on sheer talent. They'll knock off a couple of good teams. And they'll get crushed against pretty much every real contender, if this is the effort we're going to see consistently.

    Dame, CJ and Stotts is just not gonna work. When your 2 best players and coach are defensively inept, you will not be a contender.

    A change needs to be made from one of these three. You’re obviously not trading Dame so you either fire Stotts or trade CJ. You can’t maintain the status quo and expect to win.

    It’s so hard playing with 2-3 defensive liabilities at all times.

    No need to waive him. We already traded Meyers away.

    If it’s not an open three, it’s a layup that we give the clippers, WTF.

    They say passing is contagious. I guess the opposite of passing is also contagious.
