Triple-double can't save Cavs

Our man LeBron had a triple-double last night -- 26 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists -- but the Cavaliers lost to Houston at home, becoming the Rockets' ninth-straight victim.

I've long thought that the triple-double is an overrated accomplishment. If a guy scores 30 points and has 20 rebounds or something like that, isn't that a better game than, say, 12 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists? And the Cavs were outscored by eight while LeBron was on the floor. I'm not suggesting that's all his fault, but he did shoot just 7-for-18 for the game, and he missed all his shots in the first half. I suppose even an MVP-caliber player is going to struggle with his shot from time, and you just have to let him keep hoisting up shots until he works it out.
