Thoughts on the game: 

1. Dwight controls the paint especially on the defensive side. Players stop driving and there are very few easy shots. It's nice to see. 

2. Frank looked great again. Consistency is huge for him and he's playing very confident. I like that he feels like there is no bad shot. He's shooting threes, fadaways, up and unders, everything. 

3. Love the rookies. Monk's shot started falling today and he can get some points quickly. Bacon is just solid. Good midrange, can knock down the three and can rebound. 

4. Lamb is playing aggressive and is so freaking long. He makes difficult shots look easy. 

5. JOB is my love/hate player. Loved him the past two games. 

6. Kemba is our closer. Things were getting tight so he took over in the 4th. 

7. MKG is back and even though he is not in playing shape we still need a player like him. 

8. Can't wait to see this team with Batum, Cody and MCW back

This team could be very dangerous, especially if the bench keeps playing like this.

we'll be a really good and deep team when we get healthy. 

get Batum and MCW back healthy. 

Zeller, Frank, Monk, Bacon and Lamb is a strong second unit. Johnny Obryant is really talented and we need to keep him fresh and out there when we can.

Got to get healthy and stay healthy and we may have something.

^^that unit right there could probably beat most of the Bobcat roster's starting 5..

I hate to say it, but I want Lamb starting over Batum.  Batum was so bad last year, and honestly, Lamb has been damn solid.

Their games are not interchangeable - Batum is a facilitator who can usually look over his defender and see passing lanes very well.. He can guard all 4 positions (PG-PF) and also is a good 3 pt shooter (career .357%)..

Lamb is more of a pure scorer.. slashing and creating his own shot.. not very well mind you - but he can finish at the rim, good mid-range shooter and a decent 3 pt shooter (career .322% and currently .235%)..

Batum will be in there to get Howard easy buckets under the rim - find Kemba and Marvin in the corner or a slashing MKG (who is possibly our best finisher at the rim).. Lamb will be running the 2nd unit with Frank.. MCW will facilitate, Zeller will defend and clean the glass, Lamb/Frank will score and Monk should find his game (Heat Check!!!) in the midst of all that..

Dwight looks good. Happy Dwight is a huge add to this team.  I hope he stays happy and healthy this year!
