I like Coach Casey's rotation this year. He's making great use out of everyone's skills and playing 10 guys. Guys know their roles and there is a really cohesive second unit that takes up where the first five left off. Williams, Patterson and Vasquez give them a scoring punch off the bench. The Coach will also ride the hot hands down the stretch, which creates a little healthy competition.
I think the one potential trouble spot on this team is rebounding. They are getting away with it but this is going to be more of an issue over time.
Amir's ankle is another concern. They really need him in there for interior defense and rebounding.
Nice to see the crowd give Vince Carter the standing ovation during the video tribute. Looks like they've made peace with him, which is best for all concerned.
