Obviously Bron wins because the other side wouldn't have Lebron. What exactly would Melo do that KD didn't do? KD had a hell of a series. It just so happens that one of the few guys who capable of outplaying him was on the other side and of course Harden didn't show up.
and Melo meshing.
If you gave him that OKC team instead of a Knicks squad missing Stoudemire, Shumpert, Lin, Baron Davis, and Tyson Chandler with the flu...I feel pretty confident in saying it'd be a closer series atleast
