?

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

    We're obviously not fulfilling our potential and I don't think anyone can argue that anymore.

    When do we fire Stotts?

    Have we been cooped up in a hotel since the Lakers game? Because we look like we haven’t seen a basketball court in a few days.

    This is a hard team for me to root for because whenever they get down a certain point they just pack it in. Everyone on the team does. Then worse becomes apocalyptically bad.

    Dame needs to stop trying to draw fouls on his jumpers and just shoot them. At least 3 times this game he tried to anticipate the foul and got caught in the air.

    This is 3 out of 4 games where they really played like ass, and 6 out of 8 if you count the pre-season.

    There is just something not right with the team, and it's not the "new defensive scheme" or "lack of practice" bullshit they're spinning either.

    What effort is being referred to? I don't see any. Then again, Melo plays....and it seems to look like this.
