?

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.

  5. No, a player should not lose his spot because of an injury. He deserves his place in the rotation.

  6. No, Melo re-signed w/ the Blazers on a min contract. He's a future Hall-of-Famer & deserves respect

    The offense looks much better. Refreshing.

    We're playing decent. But we let them get the switches they wany way too easily on defense.

    A lot of it is Dame and CJ not running to matchup.

    CJ and Melo didn’t know who they were guarding for that entire possession.
