Around the League: Week 3 11/7-11/13

[Superbone]

Steph Curry just broke the record for 3s made in a game with 13. Still 2:20 to go.

You think maybe he was upset his consecutive games with a 3 was broken on Sunday?

Am I understanding you right--that you would be willing to give up Bledsoe, Tucker, and Chriss in order to get Gordan? I have not been following him at all, but his stats from last year don't appear to be worth a "king's ransom". Is there something about him that makes him worth both Bledsoe and Chriss?

Gordon is an elite 3rd wheel prospect. Marion-like, but with a chance to develop real handles and a shot. Bledsoe-Tucker-Chriss for him is robery and if the Magic ever were interested, you do it asap. I'll say that a first round wouldn't keep me from getting it done, though, but I doubt Orlando went for it.

13-17 from 3 when he broke it, too. I'm not sure that will ever be broken.

I just saw the post game interview with Curry and he said that the way guys are shooting it these days he isn't sure the record would hold for very long but it was nice to have. I'm not sure about that. Maybe someone will get hot in some crazy triple OT game or something, but in a regulation 48 min game where you only play 30 to 35 min? It's basically a make every 2 and 1/2 minutes. It's pretty remarkable.

Glad to see he did it. He deserves the record. To share it with Kobe and Donyell Marshall didn't seem right. Kobe wasn't a great 3 pt shooter and Marshall wasn't even shooting threes until the twilight of his career. So for a pure shooter like Curry to have the record seems more fitting.

[Shabazz]

I think he'll break it himself.

Cuban issued a statement about why he banned those reporters. He says it is due to automated sports reporting or something like that. To my eyes it still just looks like he's mad they aren't covering and writing about the Mavs more.

[Superbone]

Ah, poor Markie. His Mavs aren't relevent this season. I'm gonna take your priviledges and go home. Ah...

<Bone steals Cuban's hat and starts tossing it back and forth to Marty as Markie tries to get it back. "Quit it!", he says.>

I'd give up a king's ransom for Gordon. Plug him in at the 4, and I think Booker-Warren-Gordon become a devastating Big 3.

Edit: I wouldn't give up a first rounder, but the Magic would be welcome to take Bledsoe, Tucker, and Chriss.

Do the Suns need to give up Chriss? I like Gordon though.

On one side, having Gordon, Bender and Chriss, seems redundant, on the other side, swapping Chriss for Gordon, also looks like it.

[Split T]

I've been one of the bigger Chriss supporters, but I wouldn't hesitate to trade him for Gordon. Gordon is a better prospect. He's one of the few 4's in the league that matches Chriss athletically. Gordon also brings better defense and is more of a playmaker.

[INFORMER]

Exactly.

[O_Gardino]

I think Chriss will take a lot more trips to the ft line, assuming he continues to improve.

[Shabazz]

If the Nets beat the Knicks tonight (they're up 10), they'd be 4-4 and they've been missing Jeremy Lin for 3 of the games. That's insane. That team is trash. Give Kenny Atkinson COY and be done with it.

[O_Gardino]

Rockets beat the Spurs last night in a very close game. I think the Rockets are going to come alive as the season continues. They won't make it to the finals, but they will play for Mike and he will get the most out of that shallow roster.

110-96 Knicks. There goes the coach of the year award. Speaking of which, the Nets is our next opponent.

D'Antoni is doing a great job so far. Taking Harden to the next level.

Harden is currently 4th in usage at 35,6%, trailing Westbrook, Embiid and DeRozan (monster start of the season). In case you were wondering, the first Sun is Booker at #39 (25,4%), then Knight #44 (24,9%). In case you were interested, Knight is the third bench player in usage, tied with Speights and behind Z-Bo (#11 overall) and Lou Williams (#26).

Markieff just had a pretty ugly/dirty takedown on a McDermott dunk attempt. Not sorry to see him gone at all
