Prime Paul pierce Or Current Melo?

[GreatestLaker]

But they don't need melo to be great defensively to win that chip, Just average. Current Melo is not a liability on defense. Plus Current Melo>>>>>08' Pierce by a big margin. Heck 08' Melo>08' Pierce

The same Carmelo Anthony that couldn't score on Luke Walton and Vlad Radmanovic?

An opinion that majority of people that watch basketball agree with.

When did they say pierce was the best scorer in the nba??

Pierce has always been the much better defender than Carmelo Anthony. Even before Thibs was there he was an above average defender.

Melo this year defense is above average . So we are comparing this year with a few years of pierces which is silly

No one ever said that. Melo isn't the best scorer in the NBA either.

Lebron and Durant are better. Melo didn't even separate himself from a 34 year old Kobe as a scorer.

You can tell who has only been watching Melo post-Denver. I like how people are saying the '02 East was weak as hell like the '13 East is not? Only Miami is a legitimate title contender.

Pierce easily, and that's no slight to Melo who is beasting right now, but P did everything better than Melo except scoring which he was very close to Melo in. Alot of people here obviously never watched the Celtics during Pierce's prime, talking like he was in his prime in 08

Melo was a better scorer than pierce and in his prime his defense was ok so if we are comparing this year to pierces than he's better

He scored more then pierce, albeit on worst efficiency against LA but pierce was on a much better team that won because of Defense 1st anyway.

I dont think Paul Pierce ever led a team to a 50 win season before he got KG and Jesus on his squad.

Carmelo shot 36% vs Luke Walton and Vlad.

Melo had good players around him. JR, Iverson, Martin, Nene, Camby and Kleiza.

Melo scored .5 more points on 8 more shot attempts.

You dudes are always embarrassing yourself. Goddamn man.

And Melo's been swept 3 times in the postseason, and he's gone out in 5 in 4 postseasons...

I understand the argument that his team wasn't up to par, but damn. He was going home quick when he got to the playoffs. And it's not like he didn't have any talent around him during these runs.

Prince Paul no question

The east was historically bad from 00-07. Like one of the worst conferences in the history of pro sports

Melo is notorious for under-performing in the playoffs.

The West was stacked though. It's not like he lost to teams that were significantly worse than him. Plus I blame a lot of that on Allen Iverson and him not being able to co-exist with Melo and lack of talent. You and I both know those Celtics teams that got swept by Boston and Miami didnt have nowhere near the talent to compete with those squads

You saw that when he got a true legit PG and sidekick in Chauncey they went to the Conference Finals and now with a complete team around him he led them to 54 wins

Not as good as the celtics who won with defense anyway not pierce's offense. They win the same title with 08' Melo and they definitely win with current melo who's on a whole other level then that pierce.

 

[JerseyFinest!]

when was Paul Pierce ever better then Melo...I even seen one dude said by Miles, I can't with this site sometimes lol
