We'll see how they play together on offense, but George was 3rd in catch&shoot points in the league last year with 7.4 and Melo wasn't far behind with 6.3, both with around 42% 3pt shooting.
And I really doubt rebounding will be a problem. They get ~7 rebounds per game which is good for forwards, plus Roberson and Westbrook are very strong rebounding guards.
We'll see about the defense, Melo could be a bit more motivated now that the stakes will be higher. Cleveland is doing fine with Love. Who is their backup center though? Only Patterson or do they have anyone else?
I think they should fight it out for the 2nd seed with the Rockets and the Spurs, but those teams have their own issues as well. They should be the favourites in their minds.
