Listened to JB's presser a few times because i wanted to hear what he was saying and understand his points. He made several key observations ([B]actually 7 not 3)[/B] that i believe provide a basis for his rotation etc:
 
1. Waiters and Triche are being more assertive and aggressive and that is what I want
---that helps the team and they need to keep that psyche
2. Scoop is a steadying force...if team dips a bit Scoop comes in and brings the play back up
3. KJ, Scoop and Triche, as 3 year starters are the glue of the team...they lead the younger players
--first time I have heard Triche mentioned in this way
4. Keita (and he mentioned first) and Melo know how to play in the middle of the zone and they do it well
5. Waiters lost weight like Fab and the conditioning has helped
6. Team has 8-9-10 starters...each player brings something different so combinations bring a different look to competition
--JB wants 6-7-8-9-10 to feel and act and play like starters...that mentality helps play well
7. Doesnt quite understand the slack off or down turn in 2nd half
--JB's quip after saying that may be foretelling[B]..."Maybe I am playing too many players[/B]"
--not sure if this is sarcastic; JB caught of guard and said it; or he really feels that way but is is contradictory to what he said above...10 starters!
 
'Cuse has a terrific team with many moving parts...we all have our favorites and our disagreements and can debate who should play who didnt play well...but bottom line is I am and will "continue to pay" to watch this team...it is SPEACIAL!!!
