Now they figured it out and they're unstoppable. Now imagine Carmelo with Amare. It won't be the same thing as Lebron/Wade because neither one of these guys dominate the ball. They both know how to work off the ball, which eases the transition of playing together. Another example is the Melo/A.I. duo. People say that didn't work because they didn't go far. Well Iverson and Carmelo had their most efficient scoring seasons playing together because teams had to pick their poison. Double team one and the other will beat you. The reason that team didn't go far is because they had injury problems and weren't a great 3 point shooting team. Pair two dominant scorers like Amare and Melo together with the 3 point shooting we have on this team and its going to be pretty hard to stop us. Remember, these two aren't Lebron and Wade. You can't just pack the lane against them and feel that you did your job. These two guys are actually good midrange shooters.
True, but i still think even with Melo we have to get a Center and another big guy. I still dont believe the Heat can win a championship with only Lebron and Wade playing Defense... Their C,PG,Bosh are so terrible at defending. And they have no bench.
I just cant help to think that their formula isent a championship winning formula, thats why i think the Knicks have to do alot more even if they get Melo
