I don't think they beat Dallas. Carmelo might get on well with James Harden but his game would clash with Westbrook's.

Melo and Westbrook on the same team? Good lord. 1st round exit at best.

Melo and Westbrook would work just as well as Westbrook and Durant

No it wouldn't; Melo and Durant are different players in terms of both style and effectiveness.

Try this.

Put Durant on the Knicks instead of Melo.

They wouldn't be a 7th seed, you can bet your house on that.

2nd round. Don't think they would have gotten past the Lakers. Actually, they probably would be the 4th seed and wouldn't get past the Spurs.

That's an incmplete claim though.

I think its the worst percentage for players that have played a certain number of games in the post season.

I'm pretty sure there must have been someone in NBA history that only made the playoffs once and got swept. That's a 0% playoff win percentage.

Melo has only been out of the first round once in his career.

So id say we'd lose in the first round with him
