?

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.

  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

    Well, I didn't like the game, but it looks like my wallet will. Betting on games that Foster refs (for whatever reasons) has been EASY money with very few exceptions.

    I’m starting to really dislike Stotts. What exactly is he good at? Motivation, adjustments, and distribution of minutes aren’t on the list. He isn’t some offensive mastermind, or defensive obviously. Why the fuck does this guy get a free pass on everything? Cause Dame likes him and he’s willing to be s doormat to his stars? Unbelievable.

    Saying this for years
    That's absolutely true. Ever play on a team with a guy who never met a shot he didn't like? Guys eventually figure if they aren't going to touch the ball much and this guy's going to shoot it every time he gets it, they might as well start chucking, too.

    It's like, "I'm not here only to play defense, set picks, and rebound your misses."

    There isn’t ONE reason Giles shouldn’t be getting some burn here, not one. I have a hard time believing Giles doesn’t feel the same way.

    Seems to me that Clippers are a team where taking charges against them would be successful. But I have not seen one this game.
