Preseason Game 7: Cavs vs. 76ers Pregame notes
Cavs expected starters: Ramon Sessions, Anthony Parker, Jamario Moon, J.J. Hickson, Ryan Hollins
* This is the healthiest the Cavs have been all of camp. Antawn Jamison (knee) and Mo Williams (groin) are the only two players expected not to play because of injuries. And if the regular season started tonight, it sounds as if both could play.
* Byron Scott will begin trimming minutes of end-of-the-bench guys tonight in order to start setting the rotation he'll use for the season. He has mixed and match various combinations throughout camp, too, so it will be interesting now to see who he wants playing with whom.
* Varejao's aggressive style and high energy appear better suited to come off the bench rather than start, a move Mike Brown made early last season when he made Varejao his sixth man. Scott has little choice at center other than to start Varejao. But at least Ryan Hollins has proven himself to be a serviceable backup should Varejao run into foul trouble -- and he inevitably will.
