“At his current pace (and if he stays healthy), Varejao would finish the season with about 1,222 rebounds. That would destroy the Cavaliers’ single season record, which was set in 1975-76 when Jim Brewer grabbed 891 boards. Carlos Boozer holds the single season team record for rebounding average at 11.4 RPG.
And while he still has a long way to go, if he were to surpass the 1,200 rebound mark this season, that would put him in elite company. There have only been 76 seasons of 1,200+ rebounds in NBA history. Wilt Chamberlain accounted for 13 of them. In fact, if you exclude Chamberlain and Bill Russell, there have only been 51 occasions in which a player grabbed at least 1,200 boards in a season.

NBA Report: Gibson, Waiters to have MRIs

Anderson Varejao: Cleveland’s “All-Star Guy”
The elections may be long in the rear view, but the lobbying in Cleveland may be reaching new levels.

Schedule stinks, but Cavs must find a way
CLEVELAND -- The Cavaliers are entering dangerous territory, the kind that can cause a team to lose a grip on the buying public way too soon in a season.
