BOBBY SURA "EARNS" HIS 3RD CONSECUTIVE TRIPLE-DOUBLE
Surprisingly, the most amazing part of this story is not that Bobby Sura has just recorded three consecutive triple-doubles. The way he earned his third one last night while Atlanta hosted New Jersey was embarrassing. Needing one rebound to accomplish the feat, the Hawks threw a cross-court pass in the waning seconds of their 129-107 win over New Jersey to Sura, who intentionally missed a layup in order to record his 10th rebound, which was all he needed for the triple-double.

You may remember that Ricky Davis attempted to do this last year, but failed to get the 10th rebound when he intentionally missed a shot on Utah's basket. The Cavs fined and suspended him for his actions, but it doesn't appear that the Atlanta Hawks are going to take any such action.

The main thing to remember here is that the Atlanta Hawks are a bunch of losers playing in the worst sports town in America. I hope Bobby Sura's three consecutive triple-doubles will be something the Hawks organization can reflect on over the spring and summer while 16 teams will be going to the NBA Playoffs.

UPDATE: The NBA announced that they are not going to count the 10th rebound for Sura last night, thus not giving him a triple-double. The NBA cited the rule that states "A field goal attempt is a player's attempt to shoot the ball into the basket for a field goal."

Now Sura looks like a jackass and didn't get his third consecutive triple-double.
