Exactly because of the stats you just quoted. Over his whole career Melo has experienced time and again that he is good, but not good enough to put an entire team on his back and win it all. He had one year in which he seemed transformed after the Olympics. Unfortunately it didn't last. It seems he is too hedonistic and too stubborn to accept that.
That's exactly what I mean: he played at the top of his game, overachieved by his own standards, yet it was not enough. That's humble pie for you, however it doesn't seem to affect Melo or his approach to playing basketball. If he killed our spacing by planing himself on the elbow and we got a playoff win, you wouldn't hear a word from me. But he simply cannot do that and he doesn't trust his team mates abilities.
