The mainstream media baffles me. Like, for example, the obsession with triple doubles. Anderson Varajao didn't get one last night, so I guess his performance was only worth a quick mention. I mean, 23 rebounds, 9 assists, 9 points, 2 blocks in 37 minutes...that's not noteworthy or antyhing, right?
| POS | Min | WP48 | PoP48 | Wins | PTS | DRB | ORB | REB | AST | TO | BLK | STL | PF | |
| Varejao | C | 37 | .807 | 22.0 | 0.6 | 11.7 | 14.3 | 15.6 | 29.8 | 11.7 | 1.3 | 2.6 | 0.0 | 5.2 |
| Average C | C | 26 | .099 | 0.0 | 0.1 | 20.7 | 9.2 | 7.9 | 17.1 | 4.3 | 2.0 | 3.1 | 0.5 | 5.4 |
To put things in perspective, if you could get that performance from your center over 48 minutes, you'd have a 22 point efficiency differential. Last year, the best efficiency differential in the NBA was the San Antonio Spurs, at +7.9.
I mean, seriously, that was a "performance of the year" category game, and all he gets is a few reporters saying he "almost had a triple double".
No respect.
