The triple-double trumps the double-double, but usually it is moot (stat padding junk) if your team wins anyway.

This is a TERRIBLE logic

I get what he is saying though. Teams still have to play until the final whistle is blown. Players still play defense etc. If the other player is still scoring on you or grabbing rebounds, well that's because you couldn't stop them.

Of course but a lot of us are speaking in the context of if the winning team is up late in the game (say up 30 w/5 minutes left) & the starters still in there going for the juggular.

The way I see it, the whole stat debate is like smashing broads. You can boast about having 20+ notches in your belt, but if 15 of them are 1 or 2/10 or slores that give it to anyone, that's padding your numbers. At the surface, if you go to bed with that many women in a stretch, someone might think that's impressive, but if someone asks to see what they look like and most of the chicks are busted, the reaction would be :skip:, and your boys might wonder if you can successfully spit game to a dimepiece.

Same thing with sports. If a player puts up superstar numbers against a weak schedule or :trash: teams and only produces about half as much against contenders, then analysts will question how that player reacts when being put up against formidable opponents. Stat padding is called into question when looking at perfromances game by game, to see if all the player does is just :eat: off weak teams and become exposed against even or better matchups.
