You should have repacked your bearings when you did the brakes.
To tighten your bearings you; tighten them very tight (40 to 50 ft lbs) which is fairly tight with a ratchet while turning the rotor, THEN you loosen them off about 1/4 turn and retighten until they're snug - not loose but not cranked down hard; then you lock them there with the castle nut locker and cotterpin.
At that point the rotor should turn easily but have no "play" if you grab the sides and try to rock it back and forth.
