?

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

    Since we're one of the teams playing, I'll venture to guess it's the other team.

    Kent is boring and manufactured. He's not good at his job, and to be honest it's like listening to an even more boring Mike Barrett.

    But he's safe, and will toe the company line and that's why he was hired.

    All the talk of Stotts implementing a new defense. He literally tried it for 2 preseason games and gave up and reverted back to THIS. Does he really think that THIS is better???

    The biggest tell about this game is that the Clippers are clearly on a different level than the Blazers.

    It's like he's trying to be understated cool. . It just comes across as boring and monotone.

    Did they just imply that the reason the Blazers are down so much was because RoCo had 3 fouls?

    How he fuck was that not 3 in the fucking key!?

    A game like this where Dame hasn't shown up yet....would be really nice to have Harden.

    Jesus Nurk that’s not an acceptable shot

    Lillard should be benched for the entire 2nd half. Except for the Lakers game he's been poor this year

    What the FUCK are we doing? Stotts didn't adjust the defense at all. And our offense is a joke right now.

    It's tough because they can just throw a Leonard or George on him for large parts of the game.
    Harden please.
