Losses like this are a blessing in disguise if it forces management's hand in finally and truly rebuilding. If this continues for the next 2 weeks, they will have no choice but to blow it all up by trading the likes of Melo and Rose and tanking the season. This is what's in the best interest of the franchise and its future.

I agree. But how many of these types of losses have we seen over the years?

The team will be relieved and freed when he is traded.

YUP! These young guys need to learn how to play minus Melo. That's going to have to happen eventually so it's inevitable and they should start now.

I think it needs to happen or Phil needs to say it isn't happening so that one way or the other they can get back to trying to play.

Gotta give him time to adjust. He has played against starters before so that's not entirely true.

So why does a guy with his skill and rebounding ability get DNP's?

One of the worst games I recall Porzingis ever playing...his head is not in the game and he seems to have lost his confidence on the offensive end.

His post Achilles numbers are a stark decline from the first 2 months of the season...

Don't know what the issue is, and doubt it is anything permanent, but it is a little troubling.
