Andre Iguodala > Melo

[ABILITY]

CP3 hasn't even made it past the 2nd round his entire NBA career with a stacked team. LOL why can't Melo be first ballot when he was JUST two calls away from forcing a game 7 against a prime Kobe in the western conference finals? Melo made the playoffs every year of his career minus last 2. You do realize that LEBRON got his rings by playing with 2/5 players that were drafted in the top 5 of the 2003 NBA draft? Melo never played with another superstar on his team.

Difference between LBJ and Melo is that LBJ has 2 rings and carried a garbage cleveland team to the finals. Melo cant carry a team, CP3 did, in the west too with the NO Hornets, he makes his team mates better, plays both sides of the court and carry his team in a weak conference atleast to the playoffs.

LeBron had a lot of help in that cleveland team. Tristan Thompsons game and JR & Shumperts 3s going in helped them win the east by a long shot. Lets not forget that Delly stepped up big time, Mozgov played great. Everyone on the team played great when they were called upon. He didn't do it alone he had a lot of help. Reason why Shump and JR couldn't live up to shit in NY was because of the pressure playing there. We have actual real fans that eat and shit basketball. We're the mecca city of the game. Greatest city in the world at that to. Cleveland is the worst organization in NBA history, LeBron hasn't changed that at all. All JR and Shump did in NY was party and have cancerous attitudes. Everything changed when they got to cleveland because THERE AINT SHIT TO DO THERE. Nothing but a bunch of factories. JR stated this himself. "It's more about basketball here". LeBron won rings with 2 legit and proven superstars on his team and now has 2 future superstars on his team. People don't realize that Mo Williams played lights out that one year the cavs hit the finals, that cavs team was underrated in many ways. They were good as fuck. Great when everything clique. They just ran into a power squad in San Antonio Spurs and got swept 4-0 while having every single game down to the last pos which isn't bad at all if you ask me. He needed Wade's guidance on how to win a championship, he saw Miami not only as a window opening but as a wise choice to take the easy way to what he truly desires the most. He left Miami for the Cavs because of Kyrie and Love. Simple. This season didn't go as he planned when both those guys got injured, I guess it's karma when you leave a team that could have been back to the finals with you on the roster. Carmelo Anthony has too much pride to leave a team without good intentions, LEBRON left the HEAT organization hanging. He owed them one more season from that Dallas loss. Carmelo left Denver because his coach was trying to run him out of the team also Dolan was in Melo's ear about him just forcing the trade.

FYI Miami will beat the cavs and go to the NBA finals this season, if the Bulls don't finally get over the hump which they probably will.

All this talk about Lebron yet Iggy did him dirty in the finals.

I was talking about the finals where he carried his team with his supporting cast was Mo Williams (who was a one season wonder) it was a no brainer that they were gonna lose but to make it to that point with only him carrying the team. You have to realize this is a team game and you cant win alone. If you actually watched the finals then you should know that Cleveland couldnt score when Lebron is on the bench he was averaging 45 minutes per game (thats only 3 minutes to rest) he got tired after the third game but he still tried but his teammates were not pulling their weight. Why does he owe Miami one more season? He did what he came there to do and that is to compete for the championship every year and they clearly did that. Melo doesnt make his teammates better, he can go off any night but his defence is a work in progress. He went to miami because cleveland was doing nothing to give him help to win a championship and now they realize that they made a mistake and are now trying to build the right team for the championship.

We will see. There are no guarantees in the NBA.

The better team beat the best player. Simple enough to understand.

Can't be the best player without listening to your coach. And yes, what you said is simple to understand when it is repeated 1000x on ESPN.

Even if a coach draws the perfect play its all in the players to execute, Blatt had fewer weapons at his disposal compared to Kerr especially with JR ice cold and the paint clogged up without Love. Dont misunderstand, im giving all props to GSW but with a depleted cavs and a tired lebron theres no other outcome available.

I believe if Irving and Love were healthy it'll go 7.

Most likely. Tristan Thompson played very very well in Loves absence. If Love was healthy it would have limited Thompsons minutes, which may have hurt CLE, but thats is hard to tell.

With a healthy Kevin Love in the starting Line up the Bulls would have beaten the cavs, I agree with this. The only way he fits in LeBron's gameplan is by standing at the 3 point line because he can shoot. Tristan couldn't shoot so they had no choice but to let him camp the paint.
