tell me a year and a team that he had with denver when he should of went to the finals or won a chip

melo didnt know how to build superteams like his co workers did. end of story.

Only year they should've gotten farther was the year they lost to Utah. Those Nuggets teams were not expected to beat those Spurs & Lakers teams that they got matched up with every year. Cats love having revisionist history.

Because Carmelo wasn’t good enough lol.

U give say a Dwayne Wade that ‘09 Nuggets team and he’s possibly in the Finals. U give LeBron that team and that’s a 60 win season possibly in the Finals.

The Nuggets were there with the Lakers. Carmelo did not have a good series and they literally struggled to in bound the ball in the clutch in two separate games. He got thoroughly outplayed by Kobe.

Again those Nuggets teams were not beating a big 3 of Manu, Parker & Duncan. Or a Lakers team that was playing in Finals,

Because Carmelo himself is not good enough to win his matchup against Kobe.

Not because of the supporting cast. The actual supporting cast of Billups, K-Mart, Nene, J.R., Kleiza, D. Jones, Birdman is very good especially for that era.

So if your definition of better revolves around how aesthetically pleasing a player's game or skill set looks, you're going to miss all of the other things that correlate to winning

This describes 90% of Coli basketball heads lmao...

I'll never understand TheColi's obsession with protecting Melo.

Iverson too, its like come on, its okay to critique your favorite players and be objective...

Basically black basketball fans are not allowed to have sound, smart basketball opinions :dead:

These guys don't even realize the shyt they insinuate lol. These guys evaluate basketball on an elementary scale, shyt is ridiculous...

Fam put whoever you want on those Nuggets teams they were not beating San Antonio nor LAL.
This is based off nothing. Why not? Denver's potential is capped by Carmelo's poor defense, ball stopping, and inefficient shooting. Those players I mentioned completely change Denver as a team. Take Kobe put him on Denver, put Melo on the Lakers. Whose in the Finals?

Carmelo has never led a team past 54 wins and that's with very good supporting casts. He's good but there's a cap to how good a team can be with Carmelo as the very best player.

Wade with that Nuggets team not beating Kobe, Pau & crew. Wade with the Nuggets is not beating Timmy, Manu & TP. Stop underrating those teams.

'09 Dwyane Wade has a strong chance of winning those series and leading the Nuggets to better seeding they likely win like 60+ games with him. That team instantly improves on both ends with Wade.

'09 Wade was LeBron and Kobe's near equal that season and completely dragged Miami to the playoffs and he's always dueled Kobe well.

I don't see D-Wade having 6 of 17, 4 of 13, 9 of 23 shooting nights in the middle of a playoff series.

Melo actually had a 3 of 16 shooting night and the Nuggets won a game by 20 because of Chauncey and J.R. :heh:
