Impossible. LWO is still strong as ever. Name me another fan base that can withstand lottery seasons back to back and still be deep as hell. We're the biggest army on the coli. GOAT shyt. :obama:

Nah, you guys have gotten so :flabbynsick: I feel bad at times. Tried to branch off into social movements and diversify to get ready for the post-kobe era, but it went nowhere. Like Kobe you're just washed up shells, jacking up stupid shots, trying to relive your glory years.

:mjcry:

I and a few others have made D'Angelo Russell one of the most hated players in the league and it's only halfway into the season. Been working on a few blueprints and it's only gonna get worse for the coli.

i had a long repsonse but my browser crashed so i'll be short and sweet.

only 2 players in the last 30 years averaged 35+ points a game. Jordan and Kobe. I think you're slightly overrating curry if you think he can get 35+
That's because they were in situations that allowed them to jack up that many shots. There's only a handful of players over the last 20-30 years that would be capable of doing that, without sacrificing too much of their team's wins percentage and their own shooting percentages.

He's averaging 30 ppg on 19.6 shots in 34 minutes this season, how many shots do you envision he'd put up on those early-00s 76ers teams?
Larry brown isn't changing his offensive system, if Curry is jacking 28 footers wiht 20 seconds left on the shot clock, brown is going to have an issue with that. Brown want's to play defense and control tempo and max his possessions out.
:usure:

No coach is going to have an issue with what Curry is doing if he's hitting them at those type of percentages. In fact he'd welcome it since they wouldn't waste as much energy trying to get Iverson open on first/secondary sets.
NBA was more physical back then, (no i'm not saying hand checking is stopping curry), but he would have been grabbed more, fouled more, harder, and it would have wore on him and his body. Tired legs are bad for a jump shooter.
That would only really be a result of him driving with the ball into the lane - which he doesn't do too often. He won't get fouled when he's putting up 3-pointers/long jumpers anymore than he's doing now. Dudes are pretty much draped all over him, bumping him on off-ball screens more than they ever did to Iverson.
only 30 games against the west vs 52. That would make a difference IMO with his averages.
He's still getting up 24-25 shots a game. I mean he averaged 38 minutes in the '12/'13 season - averaging those minutes with how far his game has developed on a team with minimal scorers and a PG [Snow] to share some of the playmaking duties with. It's certainly reasonable to suggest he could average 35 ppg.

I never seen teams send 3 guys at Kobe like they do Steph. It's like they're petrified whenever he crosses half court.
