Re: Replace LeBron with Carmelo During the Heat Run
People are forgetting something
THIS is playoff wade and bosh
Wade 15, 4, 4 on 44% shooting
Bosh 12, 6 on 45% shooting
At the end of the day, Wade is JR Smith and Bosh is past prime Amare
Melo couldnt even make the playoffs with those guys last year, I see no reason why that would change if he was on the Heat

If LeBron couldnt stop Wade's sabotage then what chance does Melo have?

That's cool, but those even those numbers are better than JR and Amare in the regular season
JR- 14 4 3 on 41% shooting terrible defense/terrible decision making
Amare- 12 5 on 55% shooting WOAT level defense especially in the first half of the season.

Re: Replace LeBron with Carmelo During the Heat Run
I know most people here are just trolling and stuff, but it seriously annoys me when people seem to actually BELIEVE what they say.
You can google my previous ISH posts, I am an unbiased poster who takes really everything into account...
And Melo is nowhere NEAR LeBron. The only finals they would make with melo would be 2011, and they would get swept by the mavericks. They would lose in the ECF the next 3 years.
Melo is a more CONSISTENT scorer than LeBron, that I will give you. But when the pressure is at its highest, can Melo perform like LeBron did and will continue to do?
Does Melo have even ONE game in the playoffs that matches...
LeBron's 40/18/9 against Indiana 2012
LeBron's 45 against Boston 2012
LeBron's closing Trip-Doub OKC 2012
LeBron's 49 against Nets 2014
Oh, and let's not forget what arguably is the greatest NBA performance of the 21st century (The only other performance in the same TIER would have to be Kobe's 81 against the Raptors)...
LeBron's 48 point game, NBA RECORD 25 points IN A ROW (wilt never did it) against the Pistons in 2007
There is no comparison, now prime kobe vs. prime LeBron? Prime Duncan vs. Prime LeBron? Prime Shaq vs. Prime LeBron?
Those are legitimate arguements, but Melo can not even be compared, honestly.

So you think Melo is gonna carry the scoring load while Wade struggles against the Bulls, AND shut down Rose?

What do you mean rewriting how effective everyone would be? You think everyone would perform exactly the same under completely different circumstances?
Worst assist man? Wade isn't the type to have his game set up for him. It's the opposite actually.. He sets others up. And Bron took that role from him.
Now we're pairing Wade with a guy who loves getting set up and isn't great at setting others up. Seems like a perfect situation for Dwayne Wade.

Melo got 42/17/6 against the Celtics in 2011.
42 4 5 on 72% shooting against the Jazz 2010
39 6 4 on 70% shooting against the Lakers in 2009
Many more like that, all in the playoffs

What the **** has Melo done to get so much praise? He hasn't even sniffed the Finals.

Probably because he didn't team up with Wade + Bosh ?
