And if it wasnt' for those 10 games, while Melo and Amare where injured, they wouldn't have made the playoffs. The team had it's best, season saving stretch when it's two best players were out. No matter how serendipitous it was, it doesn't reflect well on them, period.

If the 2 best players weren't injured the season wouldn't have needed to be saved in the 1st place.. Period

When he stayed healthy for the whole season the next year

They won 54 games (swept sas in reg )
And got to the 2nd round

Lin isnt relevant to this argument

It's almost kinda goofy to compare the two because of the age difference. If I'm starting a team right now I'm taking Kahwi over almost anyone else in the league short of Steph, KD, and maybe Young Sabo.

If we're talking overall career Melo is better. Kawhi doesn't have the sample size of being the primary dude for years like Melo was in Denver and NY. He's been doing it for the past month or so, but we gotta see what goes down in the playoffs again and maybe the next few years. I think folks are forgetting how good Melo was at Denver. He just never really had a shot at beating the lakers or spurs back then. The West was ridiculous back then. It took Dirk to become an act of God to beat both of those squads and get a ship

Why people keep talking about Melo in the West like he ain't been in the east for 6 years?

I mentioned NY. He rumbled a bit in the east too, but same deal. His squads was never beating the Cavs or Heat. They made Bron sweat once or twice, but they entire team including Melo needed to show the fukk out for them to win and they didn't. The past few years they been dog food.

2 years ago...i would have pretty much been:ehh:

But they are running the offense thru the man:dwillhuh:

exactly man, Melo was dropping 28 a game while the Knicks had some glimmer of hope, but hell even then Kawhi was only a sophmore and this argument wouldnt even be fair

this should be more-so jimmy butler vs. Kawhi
