adding to that how many games has houston played the same consistent lineup? How many times have the raptors played some of the lineups we saw yesterday, not that many......I think that is why we lost

The fact is players 1-10 are not that talented, and mixing and matching them doesn't allow the best players to develop chemistry with each other. Leading to the debacle yesterday. On top of that he plays rookies limited minutes, even though ross and valanciunas are two of the more talented players.
Casey is being smart, but just seems to have outsmarted himself in assuming we have depth.
Rotations on this team should be simple
KL, TR, DD, AB, JV. Quick hook for AB (if hes cold) to put Ed in. Jose comes in for one of KL/TR/DD. AJ comes in to spell a big. LK (and LF when hes back) spells the 3 spot if teams are going big.
Thats it. 8 - 9 guys consistently, with teh best 5 playing the bulk of the minutes ..

If we aren't going to make the playoffs I say lets run with
Lowry/Ross/DeRozan/Davis/Valanciunas
let's throw them in the fire so we can finally make a push next yearFor still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

I would love to see a nice, balanced out lineup like this. Ed in extended minutes has more so played well than not. Not to mention Ross is a very good defending wing player, he is not a liability, not to mention he can spread the defenses. More of a typical lineup, other than Derozan playing the 3, but more than capable.
This lineup is very capable of making the playoffs, I mean, we're not even a quarter into the season. Barely if anything. Davis has proven so far this season, when he plays well, he's an impact player. Typical lineup where you have a spread out perimeter, and inside presence.
EDIT: This is probably the best way to implement "the depth" Casey and BC continue to talk about.

Everybody talking about "starting Ed" is COMPLETELY wasting there time. Ross may get a chance to start, but the 3, MAAAYBE the 5 are the only positions Casey could reverse his starters on this year. Lowry, DeRozan and Bargnani WILL start EVERY game they play as Raps, whether you like it or not.9 time first team all-RR, First Ballot Hall of Forum
