“Anderson Varejao scored 35 points and grabbed 18 rebounds last night in a loss to the Nets. It feels crazy to write that, because Varejao isn’t the kind of center you expect to put up such fat numbers. He’s the “energy guy,” the big man who never stops moving, fighting for rebounds, tipping balls to teammates. He’s the sort of player who puts up cockeyed stat lines—an 8-and-13 guy. So how the hell does a guy with no real offensive game to speak of pour in 35 points? By proving that “energy guy” and “extremely talented” are not mutually exclusive, that’s how.” [Ley/Deadspin]

The trading block is a beautiful thing in the mind of a basketball writer. Just remember, once you’re on our trading block, you will not be taken off until you are dealt. At least, that’s the perception. Until Kevin Martin got traded to Oklahoma City, I’ve seen at least 12 different trades involving him. Clippers backup point guard Eric Bledsoe has gain heavy trade momentum...

Anderson Varejao. Daniel Gibson. Alonzo Gee.
These three names would be the only ones that a visually preturbed Scott would list off following his team’s recent loss to the Brooklyn Nets, one which included a solid first quarter coupled with three quarters of defense that would best replicate that of the All-Star game or an And1 mixtape. A young roster, full of upside and excitement...

We know the Cavaliers’ defense is bad. But how bad in comparison to the rest of the league is measurable, and the measurement is ugly. Tha answer: very ugly.

Since then, the Cavs have lost four straight...

The verdict: Brooklyn 114, Cavaliers 101 on Tuesday in a game that was only close when it didnt really seem to matter.

About the only thing Anderson Varejao didn’t do yesterday was win. As his Cavaliers got dismantled in Brooklyn, Varejao (along with his teammate Kyrie Irving, who scored a career-high 34 points) refused to go down without a fight. By the time the final buzzer put an end to his boisterous 37-minute outing, Varejao had scored 35 points, collected 18 rebounds, doled out 3 assists...
