Justise Winslow was one rebound and one assist from a triple-double in this game, finishing with a 16-9-9 line. Just one more measly rebound, and one more measly assist, and there would be tons of attention and praise heaped on Winslow, everyone taking notice at his first career triple-double and reevaluating their opinions of him (initially formed earlier in his career when he sucked). There would be comments on social media about how he’s better than Draymond Green (maybe he sort of is in a way). He might even get a mention on ESPN, but probably not. But maybe, which is better than he usually does.
Instead, even though his actual performance is almost as good as a real triple-double, all he gets in terms of media coverage is DownToBuck calling him a bust.
Yeah, he’s still a bust. You heard right. That’s why his nickname is Bustise Loseslow. I had already labeled him that a few years ago; you think a whole season of good play is going to chance my mind? LOL (lots of laughs).
