melo ever took his team to the finals like bron did wit the cavs ?
No, he did not. Lj played
two .500 teams (Nets & Wizards) to get to the ECF. When he got there,
Daniel Gibson was the 2nd leading scorer in the series, and went on to
out-play Lj in game 6,
scoring 19 of their last 31 points (but 31 pts total in the game) to eliminate the Pistons and was a +19 for the game. Lj got
swept by the Spurs in the next round (the Finals), averaging 22 ppg on 35.6% shooting and nearly 6 turnovers per game
. When he did have a “bum team”, he couldn't even take them to the
Playoffs 2 years in a row,
much less the Finals.
