    14 games into the season and already 3 games out of the #8 playoff spot. Good thing 2 of the first 3 games on this road trip were against teams equal in record to themselves or even worse. Winning some of these sadly keeps them right in the mediocrity zone.

    Yeah I knew about that reality a long time ago. Now comes the reality ‘bout Melo.

    I don't understand the thinking that Melo is going to start after not playing for a year and never practicing with the team. I guess it's just one game so it doesn't really matter if he does but that seems ill advised and I just think it would be weird.

    I doubt he starts. That doesn’t seem very Stotts-like.

    I can do this all night.
    Melo's reality is 10X better than what we've seen the past 10 games man. How don't you see this. NO MATTER HOW HE PLAYS, it can't be worse.

    They said he was going to join the team in New Orleans Monday night and would potentially play on Tuesday.

    When we got Hood and Kanter, they played and produced immediately.

    Melo' doesn't need a practice to learn to run the weave...so there is that.

    Blazers should win this game but if they don't, why Dame/CJ played so many minutes last night in a huge blowout may well be the reason. Why would Stotts do that when it was such a deficit in the 4th? Sometimes some of his decisions are beyond explanation...

    This is the first in the history of the NBA that a 5-9 team will be the most watch game. A lot of folks in the East Coast will stay up late and watch the Blazers.

    If Melo wants a starting role that may be a condition of "being on the same page" he talked about in his signing video....it was a point of contention for him in OKC and Houston
