First of all, the rotation of wings:
- Derozan
- Ross
- Fields
- Anderson
- Pietrus
- Kleiza
Not going to lie, but having 6 capable wing players on a roster is very good.
Now back to the minutes and your question of "should the rotations and minute distributions go back to what they should have been?"
I'm going to answer, no.
Because, Anderson has been playing lights out recently, there's no question he is our best answer at the 3 right now. Pietrus has been struggling, but in the winning streak he's come up with some big plays whether it's hitting a shot, making a drive to the basket, or making a key defensive play.
I certainly believe, when you go back to rotations (case made looking at Lowry, Bargnani), chemistry or the overall rhythm the team plays at, may be (and usually is) disrupted. When guys are going good for you, the question is:
"Why fix something when it's not broken?" Calderon has certainly been a joy this season whenever Lowry is unhealthy (which has pretty much been all season), Anderson/Pietrus/Ross have all earned some playing time, and they no doubt have delivered. Ed Davis has been a quiet dominant monster in the interior for us. I feel Coach Casey is just doing his job as a coach not playing Fields, bringing him along slowly is certainly a good way to allow the team to continue to flow, also for Fields to possibly get burn in the future (possibly out of shape). Same case should be make for Lowry, and Bargnani went they return.
