?

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

    Blevins was itching to get up that first shot. Now he’s in the NBA official record books

    Hold on, why isn't Simons playing? If anyone needs minutes, it's him.

    Giles getting the opportunity to play next to Keljin Blevins. Someday he'll get to tell his grandchildren about this moment.

    According to some, it doesn't matter who we have as a coach because the results will be the same.

    Would Blevins be on this team if he wasn’t Dame’s cousin? I love Dame but we need a coach with some brains and balls, Terry lacks both.

    We don't have Zach Collins. Or Gary Trent! You know, the guy who only got 6 minutes a couple games ago.

    I think the opposition shooting over 50% from the floor and from three is a bad sign. I also think that them having 4 times the steals you do isn't good.

    Edit: Shit, three times the steals.

    Seriously. It's like the guy you pick up to fill out your rec team roster, and then one day only four guys can make your game. And this guy thought you picked him up because he could play, when you only really picked him up because he was one of the best player's homies and his gf looked good in the crowd at your games.

    Honestly, I kind of think the team should start giving Giles minutes.

    How much you want to bet that the team will try to say this was because they were so distraught over the Collins news?
