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’m not watching this game, it was predictable we would suffer a let down after the Lakers win. I put this on Stotts, he doesn’t strike me as a motivator. I think we go 3-1 on the trip though so I’ll take it.

The combo of Dame/CJ/Stotts will never get us to a Finals.

No, they'll lose at least one of the games against the Warriors.

They're totally tuning out the coach and just playing like they don't give a shit.
 
Jordan Kent raving about how hot CJ is.
7-16....not exactly smokin'. Is shooting it very well from '3', but overall, that is not great.

Ya know I watch a lot of basketball. Other teams just don’t hit their wide open 3’s as well as they make them against us.

They get a lot of practice taking wide-open 3s against us, though.
 
Different personnel, same tendencies. Terrible defense and 3rd quarter meltdowns.
 
The 18-19 team had an identity. This one floats through quarters like they’ve been to the finals 3 straight years and can turn it on at any time.

I think they sweep the Warriors. They'll do just enough to keep the criticism from reaching Defcon 1.
 
We have some folks on this board with serious mood swings, and I’m not even talking about the one diagnosed as bipolar. Bad nights happen. The Clippers lost by 50 a few days ago. Tonight they can’t miss. Meh. A split in LA is fine. Sweep the dubs.
 
That was the first defensive possession all 5 guys gave full effort the whole possession. All it took was being down 27.

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

Right now? This the same offense that Stotts has run for his entire tenure in Portland. Just let players iso every time down the court. That’s not an offense despite what all his fanboys on this forum keep bleating. The defense is beyond a joke and the dimwit clearly has no answers... none. He isn’t even willing to try something different.

Steph Curry might hit 20 of them. Not over the 2 games, mind you. Just the first one.
 
I’m trying not to overreact but the team doesn’t even seem to care tonight.

we need one big change I don’t care what it is


I hope Lamar wasn’t on nbatv with that squeal

Tonight it's not Melo fault it's the whole team defense they can't figure out.

Absolutely it is the whole team tonight. Oddly though, when Melo plays, they look like that.
The one game he was out, the whole team looked much better.
 
What is wrong with Lillard? An embarrassing loss and performance by Dame. He has to snap out of it.
 
We cannot keep anyone in front of us. How does Beverly get a straight like drive against CJ for a wide open layup
