He's taking minutes from Varejao at the 4, who happens to be Cleveland's only quality defender in the frontcourt.

I think losing Z hurt them quite a bit too, but they'll get him back. That's a lot of minutes to lose for a center, especially when your starter is past his prime. They'll get him back, probably--should be interesting to see how that goes.
