Better 60 point game this season? Melo or LeBron?

[LongLiveTheKing]

Melo:
62 points
FG: 23-35 3PM 6-11 FT 10-10
Reb 13
AST 0
TO 0
LeBron
61 points
FG 22-33 3PM 8-10 threes FT 9-12
REB 7
AST 5
TO 2
Against the same team who do you got?

[inclinerator]

toss up, cant go wrong with either

[215Philly]

60-5-5

[edrick]

Pretty even. I would give it to whoever played less minutes.

[MichaelCorleone]

The one that made pauk's 30-5-5 club.

[leMVP]

60-5-5

/Thread.

[Hoopz2332]

Lebron's was more in the flow with little effort. Melo's was more selfish and looked like he was trying harder. lebron gets the edge since he was actually passing.

[All Net]

based on the threes, overall rebounds slightly Lebron.

[LeGOAT]

Toss up. I'll take Lebron's because of the 5 assists

[Miller for 3]

Melo. Played fewer minutes, had worse teammates, Bobcats were fully rested (played Heat on 2nd night of a B2B), Bobcats had better DRTG at the time, no TOs, at a historic arena so more pressure (Heat scoring record :lol who held the old one Udonis Haslem :lol ), no HGH, etc. Not really close tbh

[LeBron 06]

This is close

[AnaheimLakers24]

melos. knicks actually need his scoring

[navy]

Melo for the minutes and meaning.

[Trollsmasher]

I would say even. Both amazing performances.

:biggums:

[ProfessorMurder]

Melo.

[tmacattack33]

0 assists?

I'm going with the guy who actually passed it a few times.

[FireDavidKahn]

Melo: 0 assists
:roll:


LBJ's was better.

[MichaelCorleone]

more pressure (Heat scoring record :lol who held the old one Udonis Haslem :lol )
Making up facts now are we?:oldlol: :lol :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

[Kingwillball]

Man its a tossup.. Lebron edge in assists Melo in Boards Lebron in 3 point shooting, Melo in FT shooting..Both Great games But Melo game is scoring Lebron is known to be more all around and it shows Lebron can be great at scoring when He actually focuses on it and gets a bit selfish.

[Leftimage]

Melo:
62 points
FG: 23-35 3PM 6-11 FT 10-10
Reb 13
AST 0

LeBron
61 points
FG 22-33 3PM 8-10 threes FT 9-12
REB 7
AST 5
TO 2

5 assists gives bron the edge imo, but both those games are clean as a whistle. Incredible performances. 2013-14 is really turning out to be a year of huge performances. Reminds of that season Kobe went ham & 2-3 others were above 30ppg.

[oarabbus]

Melo. Knicks are so awful, what he did is more impressive.

Also bron bron didn't double double automatically making carmelo's better. jk.............

[Miller for 3]

0 assists?

I'm going with the guy who actually passed it a few times.

Melo passed it all game, he drew far more doubles that game (37 to Lebron's 14), but his teammates bricked shots like there was no tomorrow. Would you rather have Bosh or Jeremy Tyler? :oldlol:

People are underestimating the pressure of MSG. Spike Lee, Frazier, the celebs :bowdown:

Heat arena is empty until the Pittbull concert is over, then it empties again when Flo Rida starts. Playing in front of 30,000+ rabid Knicks fans or 7,000 Bieber stans waiting for the game to get over so the Selena Gomez concert can start? Hm, which is more impressive I wonder :facepalm

[Ancient Legend]

Melo, because they took him out with a lot of minutes left to play.

[HoopsFanNumero1]

Melo, because they took him out with a lot of minutes left to play.

Lebron only played two more minutes.

[stallionaire]

Melo for the minutes and meaning.

Meaning? as in a 62 point game in a season where he isn't going to the playoffs?

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Melo's impressed me more. Dude basically did it on all jumpers (midrange / high post / 16-23ft / 3PT).

Both great performances nonetheless.

[pauk]

The defense on Melo was pretty good when he scored 62 and that was impressive, dont get me wrong, but the defense was even better against Lebron, once he got around 40 points they started to even completely not care about the game at all as they instead focused their full effort to stop Lebron and leaving the entire Heat team open.... i mean they didnt just send double-team's towards Lebron when he got the ball, they were doing that even when he simply walked up without the ball as soon as he got anywhere close to MIDCOURT.... Melo didnt encounter that...

[moe94]

Melo.

Well said.

[NumberSix]

The 0 assists is hard to overlook. If he woulda had just 1 I'd say Melo.

[DStebb716]

Melo worked for his more. More rebounds. Got in the dirty areas. Two less threes.

dude you're just making stuff up lmao i hope you know people actually watched the game. nice try. lebron didn't get doubled until about 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. get outta here LMAOOOO

i just read this post twice and i can't help but just shake my head. does anybody really believe this? who watched the game tonight

:applause: :applause: nothing but cold hard facts
LeBrons was slightly better because better 3pt and FG% and actually had something like an all around game with 7/5.
its very close tho and Melo is one HECK of a player:bowdown: :bowdown:

i also officially nominate this as worst post of the year

[MichaelCorleone]

i also officially nominate this as worst post of the year
pauk's opinion > yours

[ClutchOver9000]

Slight edge to Melo.

No assists but twice the rebounds. No turnovers. Scored 60+ in less minutes. On a god awful team w/ no other scoring options. Also scored 62 w/ 7+ minutes left in the game. Could've scored 70+

[Marlo_Stanfield]

i understand your feelings as a devoted Kobe stan are hurt tonight but LEBron got doubles the entire 4th quater and after 8 minute mark they threw double teams at him on midcourt:applause: :applause:

[fpliii]

LeBron was incredible tonight and I might take his game over Melo's, but it's revisionist bullshit to say he was doubled before the 4th. Both the Miami and Charlotte announcers commented on this, and the game thread on here is littered with posts stating this.

It's almost certainly because LeBron is a passing threat so you can't double him as readily as you can a Melo, but to say that he was doubled the first three quarters is complete fiction.

[catquickspider]

Melo is on a scrub team. Would be harder for him to go 1 on 1. Lebron was on an Island by himself all game :biggums:


It's almost certainly because LeBron is a passing threat

it is because he has a bunch of shooters

you think dude would go 1 on 1 the whole game if he was with the knicks?

[Quizno]

i understand your feelings as a devoted Kobe stan are hurt tonight but LEBron got doubles the entire 4th quater and after 8 minute mark they threw double teams at him on midcourt:applause: :applause:

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Yeah. Lebron wasn't doubled until late in the 4th. Not sure why you scumbags dont think people watched. :oldlol:

[UK2K]

13 rebs > 7 rebs, 5 asts

IMO

So Melo.

Do people really believe this crap? If you haven't seen the game yet, PLEASE IGNORE THE QUOTED POST. It is complete fantasy made up by a madman.

[Noob Saibot]

hard to say. I'd got with Melo only cuz he achieved a double double and he could've reached 70 plus that night.

[Jameerthefear]

Pauk quit making shit up :facepalm

[catquickspider]

check the highlights

there are only a couple of times when dude is actually doubled WHEN HE SCORED

most of the scores came of 1 on 1 ISOS and a few passes for him to lay it up

[NumberSix]

except that didn't happen
Ughhh it did though. Tolliver and Zeller were doubling him on inbounds at the 10 minute mark and on.

Nice try with your lies though.

[chazzy]

pauk also probably doesn't realize they played the same team

[Miller for 3]

:oldlol:

Lebron stans salty that Melo, KD, Love, Jefferson, Curry, etc. all have had superior games this season, so they resort to lies and delusional fantasy to prop up their hero

Almost impossible to choose one, possibly Lebron for having the five assists, but Melo did have a lot more rebounds


Any 60 point game where a person shoots over 50% is a tremendous accomplishment

Meh. I'm gonna start just making shit up too.

LeBron was being doubled and tripled the entire 2nd half by actual lions.

[Smoke117]

I honestly find it baffling that you could have the ball as much as Carmelo did in that game and not even garner a single assist...but then I remember it's Carmelo Anthony and the surprise goes away.

[Miller for 3]

You claimed Udonis Haslem held the previous Heat scoring record.

YOU are the one resorting to lies and delusional fantasy to downplay Lebron.

I was jokingly asking who held the old record. Real Heat fans (not you) know how much Haslem has meant to our franchise so I put him. No need to be upset 2011 Heat fan.

another reason Melo's game was better, he was mainly guarded by MKG, an elite defender. The Cats hid Tolliver on Lebron because they knew Lebron couldn't hurt them if they single coveraged him with their worst defender, and he didn't. 80% of the wings in the league would score 60+ if they were guarded like the Cats guarded Lebron tonight. Deal with it

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

My favorite was when he blocked Boba Fett's dunk, stole his jetpack, and then dunked from the 3pt line on Lord Voldermort riding the Loch Ness Monster

gotta respect his passing ability and 3pt shooters :confusedshrug:

melo got neither of those :confusedshrug:

[christian1923]

Melo. He could have gone for 75-80 if the game wasn't such a blowout

[SavageMode]

Lebrons 5 assists equal an extra 10-15 pts from 2-3 pointers.

So Lebron.

[imdaman99]

LOL at you guys talking about Melo having 0 assists.

Let's all forget that Melo has shit teammates :rockon:
Someone read me last night's boxscore. The guards combined to shoot 3-22 :lol

[imdaman99]

Lebrons 5 assists equal an extra 10-15 pts from 2-3 pointers.

So Lebron.
Melo had 6 more rebounds thus it could have meant 12-18 more points.
