    You mean Brook?

    He’s been awesome. Giannis and 4 great shooters on the floor way a great idea. Even Henson learned to shoot. Basically they figured it was easier to allow Giannis to do what he’s good at and have everyone else do the only thing he’s not capable of doing well enough: SHOOT.

    Brook Lopez is currently on pace to make 240 3-pointers this season. The NBA season record for made 3-pointers by a 7-footer is 151, by Dirk Nowitzki in 2000-01.

    Well, that assumes he plays in all 82 games and continues to make 3-pointers at his current rate. The last time he played in all 82 games was 2010-11 - two years before Dame's rookie year.

    Still he's played 75 and 74 games the last two seasons. If he plays in 74 games this season, continues to attempt 7.0 3-pointers a game, even if he only makes .350 of them (currently making .418), he'll still shatter the record with 188 made 3-pointers for a player => 7'0".

    I think if they prematurely come to an end itll be because of Curry’s lower body. The Green / KD stuff isnt nearly as important as if the greatest shooter in basketball can get out there.

    That team is unstoppable even without Curry. You saw them play like shit tonight. My opinion it's a mental hangover from all the Draymond/KD bullshit.

    Their record without Curry since Durant joined is 19-16 with Durant on the floor. Not good.

    OKC is 9-1 since starting 0-4 when Westbrook was injured and first coming back. They are only 1 GB of the Blazers after that disastrous start.

    Exactly my point. Curry imo is better than Durant. He’s that amazing. Without him Warriors are like I said regular good

    Playing out around the perimeter shooting threes is easier on the body.
