Player rotations

[bluerap]

Really hoping Casey cuts the rotations down for the playoffs. We really only have 7 players that should get significant time in meaningful games.

I don't see why we can't have

Lowry, Derozan, Ross and Vasques getting give or take 36 mins each
and
Val, Amir and Pat getting around 32 mins each.

Need another wing player to get mins.

Salmons is trash.

I prefer Vazques play the 2.

Salmons plays the 2 and 3. De Colo can play the 1 and 2. Fields can plays the 2 and 3 if he breaks in.

Salmons should only get time when the Raptors reach a "Oh shit. Lowry and Vazquez are both in foul trouble and/or injured. We desperately need another ball-handler on the floor" situation.

I would rather have De Colo as an "oh shit" ball handler than Salmons. I know his shot is awful, but I trust his handle and judgement much more, and for defensive stopping I would rather have Fields in the game for his versatility. But I agree with the OP, I would like to see a reduced rotation in the playoffs, although Casey has a strange history of substitution patterns so who knows.

Well I was close.
Winning formula included Fields and it makes sense. We need a guy that can defend against JJ and Pierce. Salmons is trash.

Very good adjustment by Casey - I didn't think he had it in him.
