Casey ain't Pops, that's a given. Pops can move guys in and out of the starting lineup if wants and my feeling at least, is even if guys don't like it, they understand, defer and don't complain.
This is just a guess, but with Casey, it seems the longer tenured guys have been given their chances first - Ross, Fields, Vasquez and only after utter failure has he made changes. Amir has his ups and downs, but on the whole has done his job pretty well.
PPat will give floor spacing on the offensive side, but isn't Amir,s level defensively most nights.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.

2. The Return of James Johnson
Dwane Casey’s decision to bench Johnson never really made sense, but Johnson got hurt before we could gather up the proper rage about it. Johnson can get out of whack on both ends of the floor, but he has played better than Toronto could have expected. He’s shooting 61 percent (!), his turnovers are under control, and he’s a shot-blocking menace who can guard physical wing players.
Hell, Casey even started calling isolations for Johnson earlier in the season:
Johnson burst back onto the scene over the weekend spitting fire. He shot 15-of-17 over two games, flipped between both forward positions, and generally did James Johnson “no-no-no-HELL YES!” things every second he was on the court. Keep playing this guy, please.

Superjudge wrote: View PostYeah, but, we all saw he was playing well. Everything screams "internal issue" on this one, and Johnson sat. He's outta the Doghouse now and seems to be responding. Score one for the coach.
He just as easily could have spoke up and said the truth on poor decisions.
Casey might have been pissed for JJ not being a yes man.
In the end casey might have realized JJ was absolutely right.
JJ might have had to sacrifice his role and PT to bring about change .In this situation score one for the player.
**you see anyone can make shit up and portray it as fact, just as you have done and criticized others for**
The reality is no one knows what went on but JJs play makes it pretty obvious Casey is a little slow needing over 50 games to see what some bloggers and posters had seen.

He doesn't take stupid shots.
That's more than can be said about most of the other players on this team.
I think JJ now know what type of player he is.Last edited by The Great One; Tue Feb 10, 2015, 08:05 PM.Mamba Mentality

However prior to the last 11 games, he had not played more than 11 minutes in any with 6 DNPs - of which 4 were attributed to the hamstring injury.
Maybe it was a hamstring injury all along - who knows? I certainly don't. I'm not sure anyone can claim it to be screaming of internal discipline issues since there has been nothing to prove other than dot connections (that may or may not be there) and innuendo.
But regardless of what you wish to believe, prior to the LAC game his minutes were drastically reduced over the previous 11 games.
