Triple Nickel Award

The premier award of mediocrity in the NBA. This account tracks players who score 5 or more in three stats but less than 10 in any stats.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

A player registers a triple nickel when they put up at least 5 in at least 3 counting stats. However, they cannot put up double digits in any counting stats.

@TheNBABase And Bill would be wrong. But that’s ok, JB deserves his flowers he had a great season and a great post season.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

I still think De’Aaron Fox is a part of this Spurs team moving forward. Playing with an injury is tough but he gutted it out. If he was healthy, the Spurs win. That being said, Dylan Harper and Steph Castle were fantastic and the Spurs are in great hands with those three.

I saw Chris Paul hit a huge three to cut the lead to 42. What was he gonna do?

[BGN Hoops @BGNHoops]

Not bringing back CP3 was a mistake by the Spurs.

He would’ve been the perfect vet and leader this inexperienced Spurs team needs.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Fox had a bad game. He’ll bounce back. He’s a key part to the Spurs going forward. The entire team stopped playing in the second half. It won’t happen again. Spurs in 7.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Pathetic offense by the Spurs this half

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

And it was a terrible Flagrant call. Definitely the wrong call.

Not sure how many folks believe in Karma or Sports Gods or whatever…

But this game 10000% flipped the moment Wemby got his flagrant foul. 🤷‍♂️

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Josh Hart recorded a Triple Nickel tonight. And the Spurs guarded him more than OG who had 33. Josh Hart had

6 pts
8 boards
6 assists

The joke is, I don’t think the Knicks played any real defense. The Spurs just didn’t run an offense for 24 minutes.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

The Spurs ran their offense like a football team taking a knee with a big lead. They stopped doing what worked and instead tried to wait out the clock. Fox cannot take that layup. With 12 seconds left, and in the bonus, dribble the ball out.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Why would Fox not dribble that out?

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Pathetic offense by the Spurs this half

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Fox has been very lazy with his passes

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Spurs have to stop playing to run the clock out and start running an offense

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

@bansky Nah, he had a good game tonight. Won’t show up in the box score, but he played well.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Love what we are seeing from Keldon Johnson. Stay Agressive

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Wembanyama is playing like Chet Holmgren. He has to be better.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Sources tell us De’Aaron Fox recorded a Rusty Nickel tonight in game one of the NBA Finals.

7 pts
5 assists
5 fouls

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Welp. Spurs in 5. This is the worst the Spurs have played all post season and it’s still close.

[Triple Nickel Award @AwardNickel]

Keldon Johnson was huge in that game.
