November 13, 2015Mike Pettine on Sunday vs. Steelers: “We’re not going there intimidated”
November 13, 2015The Golden State Warriors are off to one of the greatest starts in NBA history. They’re not only 10-0, but they’re defeating opponents by an average of 17.1 points per game. They look like an unstoppable force thus far. And reigning MVP Stephen Curry is off to an unfathomable start himself.
Curry is currently shooting 53.2 percent from the field and 47.3 percent from three-point range. He’s averaging 33.3 points per game, along with 5.6 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 2.6 steals, in only 34.4 minutes. His 5.2 three-pointers per game alone are more than three NBA teams, Brooklyn, Memphis and Minnesota.
On Thursday night, Curry scored 46 in a 13-point road victory at Minnesota. He also hit eight three-pointers in the contest, his 13th career regular season game with that many threes. That accomplishment tied J.R. Smith’s NBA record, according to Basketball-Reference.com. Here are all of the related leaderboards for most threes in a game.
Most regular season games with eight-plus threes: J.R. Smith 13, Stephen Curry 13, Ray Allen 9, Dennis Scott 7, Ben Gordon 6, George McCloud 6, Kobe Bryant 5.
Most regular season games with seven-plus threes: J.R. Smith 25, Stephen Curry 24, Ray Allen 22, Ben Gordon 13, Reggie Miller 13, Quentin Richardson 13, Nick Van Exel 13, Ryan Anderson 12.
Most regular season games with six-plus threes: Stephen Curry 51, Ray Allen 48, J.R. Smith 44, Peja Stojakovic 32, Reggie Miller 28, Jason Richardson 28, Nick Van Exel 27, Mike Miller 25.
It’s not too surprising to see J.R. Smith at the top of the most games with eight threes and seven threes, but not six threes. Instead, Ray Allen — the NBA’s all-time three-point record holder with 2,973 makes — climbs the leaderboard. But within the next few weeks, it’s expected that Steph Curry will own all of these records.
The craziest thing about Curry’s assault on these records is that he’s only played 426 carer NBA games. J.R. Smith has played 767 games and Ray Allen played 1,300 games. Curry’s total games played is the equivalent of just over five full seasons. In that time, he’s averaged about 10 games with 6-plus threes per full 82-game schedule.
The Cavs and Warriors reignite their NBA Finals rivalry on Christmas Day in Oakland. While there will be plenty of storylines galore — such as the possible return of Kyrie Irving — keep an eye on the increasingly hot battle between J.R. Smith and Steph Curry for NBA three-point hot streakability.

It’s shocking that Ray Allen is behind Smith and Curry on most of these. I suppose the game has become more 3-oriented in the last few years, but for Jesus Shuttlesworth to not have a commanding lead in all categories is nuts.
Mahorn knows how to deal with this.
Just ask Price.
When I saw the draft which was of 7159 dollars, I accept that my friend’s brother was like really generating cash in his spare time with his computer. . His aunts neighbor has done this for only 10 months and by now repaid the loan on their home and bought a new Car .This is what they are donig …

I really, really hope someone out west knocks them off before the Finals. Even if we do manage to get there healthy ourselves, and even with how well we played them last year, this year’s edition is terrifying right now.
Allen took what I call “reasonable” three pointers. Smith and especially Curry take them from just about any spot on the court. Frankly I’m already sick of all the Curry spooning going on even though I understand and can appreciate what he’s doing. I did love watching the TnT crew cover the highlights and hearing Charles Barkley cry, “Someone want to guard the MVP?” “Someone want to get a hand up?” “Someone want to let him know you are there?”
Nobody has played defense remotely close to what the under manned Cavaliers did in the finals. But more importantly Curry still hasn’t had to guard another PG either. Forget Curry lock down the rest but more importantly be physical with these guys. They want to shoot jumpers particularly 3s they don’t want to have to get down and dirty.
If anyone remotely did anything like that to the new face of the NBA they would probably be handcuffed and arrested on the spot. I mean can you imagine Riley’s reaction?
Good thing J.R. still has that other record as the only guy to ever take off his skate and try to stab someone with it.
