Another win with a shorter rotation. Players seem more comfortable on the floor too. Long overdue.

all the tinkering has led to a good rotation. Thats why you tinker. The right guys are not playing.

Disagree. The fact that he needed to play Lopez/Porzingis at all times was obvious. Both are shot blockers and good/very good rebounders. Without 1, we're easy to get layups on and no intimidation inside. Defensively that is our bread and butter. Too many minutes this season with an undersized Quinn, Seraphin (good on O, no D) types manning the middle.

The other thing was the extended freedom given to Sasha early on. I wasn't a fan. The guy isn't NBA material anymore (was always borderline NBA). If he were a good 3 point shooter, ok. He's a great cheerleader and teammate. I just didn't see any reason to give guys like Seraphin and Vujacic as much playing time as they got in many games this year.

That said, we have a weak bench for a team that's got 1 star. Teams that have 2 stars can get away with a weak bench. Teams that have 1 star and no clear defined 2nd option, have a bigger need for depth. There's no doubting that he needed to look around and see what his bench could give him.

behind the scenes????? I've watched every game with the exception on maybe 3 games,I'm reading every story, listening to the coaches comments, and im on a knick message board damn near every day.

I can see with my own 2 eyes what made sense, and playing 11, 12 , 13 guys was bad for business

In the end Fish has decided on his rotation and it's really not as simple as people make it sound. A coach has to see what he has with a new roster and there is no set timetable for how long that should take.
