I like this. I've heard some grumblings about Varejao not getting any playing time but I think Blatt is playing this smart. I heard a stat yesterday that AV has only played 31 games ONCE in the last 5 seasons (not sure if accurate, didn't look it up). At some point, he could be very useful down the stretch. I won't say "can't" but it's probably pretty hard for him to get injured on the bench. If he gets 5-8 minutes in the playoffs, that should help them.
Another nice thing I've noticed is that that I don't think there's really another team in the league that has all of the options at crunch time as the Cavs. Obviously, there's KI & Lebron but if one of them wants to penetrate & dish, there are probably going to be open looks for Love & JR. Not many teams can say that. San Antonio has Leonard and ? Golden State has Curry and Thompson (maybe, Green may be a better option). Chicago has Butler and ? Teams can focus on Irving & LBJ but there's a decent chance they could get burnt by the 3rd or 4th option. Nice problem to have.
