How was November and December?
that equates to 70% of the season?
(btw, he averaged 15 ppg in november he only had one "bad" month. which, again, isn't 70% of the season).
funny how your argument changes from defense to rebounds. no, please, let's debate defense. Varejoa's criminally overrated. Thad out of position at the 4 is a better defender than Varejoa at the 4.
And, since we're talking about contending in the future (I give even you enough credit to believe that you're not continuing to talk about our possibility of contending THIS postseason), I fail to see why we have to look at it as a "I'm only talking in the context of the 4". He's not going to play there next year. It's a moot point.
