The hottest of takes here
But about the game we are loaded with good wing players. Graham and Bacon can both play. Once we get Batum and MKG back we are going to swarm and suffocate the perimeter with Dwight/Cody hanging back to protect the basket. Our defense could be special this year.
Monk is struggling, but Graham and Bacon are 4 and 3 years older than him respectively. We really need MCW to relieve him (and Lamb) of ball handling responsibilities, at least for now. I believe in Monk becoming a capable point guard, but he isn't ready yet. MCW is a bad offensive player but he can handle the ball and defend and that's exactly what we need to complement Monk. He will look a lot better once he's playing next to MCW or Batum.
Dwight was a monster, I hope he can keep that level of play going until we get Cody back. Having them split minutes is the key to keeping both of them healthy. And lord almighty Frank, why can you look like a playmaking Ryan Anderson one night and then play like you don't belong in the league the next?
And Kemba was his typical all-star self. Hopefully we won't wear him down while Batum and MCW are out. I think he will have another big game against Milwaukee on Monday. Speaking of which the Cavs gave us the blueprint to beat them - let Giannis get his points but shut down the rest of the team. If MKG is back I think we should be able to execute that strategy and have a chance to come out with a win.
