"UNBELIEVABLE GAME! The @warriors are ON FIRE! With 14 THREEs and 22 assists, they dominated the @LACClippers 129-127! The Dubs' high-powered offense is showing no signs of slowing down, with a 23-11 record demonstrat…
“"UNBELIEVABLE GAME! The @warriors are ON FIRE! With 14 THREEs and 22 assists, they dominated the @LACClippers 129-127! The Dubs' high-powered offense is showing no signs of slowing down, with a 23-11 record demonstrating their strength in the Western Conference! #DubNation #NBA"”
“"Fascinating insight! On 3/31/06, the @warriors struggled from the field (39% FG) but found success from beyond the arc (9 threes). This season, they're 4th in the league in 3PT attempts! Can they keep the 3-ball magic going to propel them to playoff contention? #WarriorsNation"”
“"WHAT A TURNING POINT! Dec 31, 2008: Warriors' 100-107 OT loss to OKC was a wake-up call, as they fell to 10-24. But here's the fascinating stat: they dropped just 9 threes in the contest, a 10-6 edge in 3-point attempts from the rest of the season (46-40). #DubNation"”

(poker slang) A pair of threes.

“"Mind. Blown. The Warriors are shooting an INSANE 37% FG on the season (2nd lowest in the league)! Meanwhile, they're still finding ways to get buckets w/ just 6 threes. Can they keep up this efficiency & make a push for the playoffs? #DubNation #NBA"”
“After their recent flameout I was hoping that the team would try to become less reliant on taking threes, but after reading this I've changed my mind. Without an MVP or DPOY falling into their laps going all in on the three seems like the best play.”
“"WHAT A TURNAROUND! The Warriors trailed by 22 at halftime, but came back to win! They're shooting 36% from the field, but their 5 threes and 13 assists are the real X-factors. Can they keep this momentum going? #DubNation"”
“"WHAT A GAME! The @warriors dominate the Grizzlies 125-104! 46/87 FG and 20 threes is UNREASONABLE! Steph Curry's 34pts and 7 assists are the spark. With this pace, the Dubs are UNSTOPPABLE! 73-9, and they're building a dynasty! #DubNation"”
“"WHAT A GAME! The Warriors' 113-109 OT thriller against the Clips on 1/22/11 was a testament to their clutch gene! Not only did they sink 9 threes, but their 23 assists show they're a team that can control the tempo. Expect them to be a playoff contender this year! #DubNation"”

The age of three; three years old.

Threes means: The age of three; three years old.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up. For most families this word will pass by without incident; it is more a vocabulary curiosity than a parenting concern.
threes means: The age of three; three years old.. Register: neutral, standard English. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
