When Melo comes back from the health/safety protocol, should he lose his spot in the rotation?

  • Yes, he was horrible before and there are better players behind him.

    Votes: 18 31.6%

  • No, but give him one last chance. If he stinks it up, into the doghouse he goes.

    Votes: 3 5.3%

  • No, give him a couple more chances, and if he doesn't play well, then give away his minutes or spot.

    Votes: 6 10.5%

  • No, but keep him on a short leash each game. Pull him if he's not playing well.

    Votes: 28 49.1%

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

    Votes: 0 0.0%

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

I bet Kawhi plays. Earlier today on ESPN.com it said he'd been ruled out on the Clippers injury report and now it says he is questionable. That's trending in the direction of playing.

For us Gary has said questionable all day.

Yeah, they just confirmed that Kawhi is back. Makes this game that much tougher.

IDK? Harkless got a chance but in the end lost the start and was traded to the Knicks where he was given a bigger role and brought his numbers up. Then he ended up with Miami and he thus far has not done well at all? His points and possessions are down defensive metrics are down. Not sure he was all that great to begin with?
Aminu i'll give you has been injured but the numbers don't lie. the 18 games he played he was atrocious.
PatCon continued to grow as a player so yeah he did fit the role but his numbers are going in a downward trend since his first year with the Bucks. How they are using him might be the biggest factor but even 3 point shooting is dropping as well as efg%. The one thing that stands out is the assist rate went up but again i think that is due to the Freak feeding on set ups?
Turner being worse than in Boston? Again I'm just not so sure if you look at a numbers side of things? He certainly didn't get better here but look at the metrics. They are within 100th's of a percentage point. All but 3 point shooting which got better here. Fact is though he has gotten absolutely nothing since Portland.
Bazemore did well in Sac. Seems like everything went up. I think Stotts and the system was bad for him so that would fit "Didn't do better here" for sure.
Tolliver? Talking about his 12th season on his 10th team and second time in Portland? Really?
Whiteside absolutely got better in Portland when he left Miami and went in the tank so far being in Sacramento but it's way too early to get a good look just yet.
Stauskus? Is he in the league anymore? Best year was Philly but second best was here.
Seth Curry would have got those numbers or better here in that role and you know it as well as everyone else. Blazers have Lillard. If it was me and there was a way to keep that guy i would have done it. I'm betting you had many conversations about not being able to keep him. He's now in Philly. Maybe the Blazers can find a way to get him back. Would love to have him. He is gonna light it up in the east.
There are others we could talk about but in the end i agree with you.


You cannot make a judgement about a coach with what a player does in a different system. Same with a team when they beat the Lakers one game and now they are better than every team the Lakers have beat.

All this shows is that it's very easy to have differing opinions on players, which makes basing coaching off of this type of thing extremely subject to bias. That's why I'd rather just watch what's going on out there on the floor and base it off that.

Another game at the Staples Center.
Another game versus a pair of superstars.
Another game on NBATV.
Another opponent on the 2nd night of a back-to-back.

Hopefully, another victory?

This will be a tough game, now that we know Kawhi is playing.

At least with his injury, he can't trash talk us. /s
 
No fucking melo. That really hurts that trent is out. Really hurts.

I've been following the injury report all day, but he wasn't ever listed as OUT officially for tonight's game. He was only ever listed as QUESTIONABLE.

He was out last night, so that's probably where the confusion originated.
