That the Raptors have made much use of a deep bench in this record-setting season is not exactly a new story. Casey has said repeatedly this year that he knows the Raptors are doing things differently, and he has insisted that will not change. I trust everybody that’s under contract,” Casey said on Friday morning as his team prepared for Game 3. In his first visit to the playoffs with the Raptors, in 2014, Casey played DeMar DeRozan for more than 40 minutes per game, and Kyle Lowry just under 39 minutes. That Casey, who just turned 61 last week, would be the one deploying this interchangeable roster didn’t seem that certain as late as last spring.
