From what we have seen in the preseason (outside of the throwaway game vs OKC), it seems they are more likely headed towards the bottom of the league on defense.
I don't think this team has the quality to make play-offs without the grit and grind approach. We could only see this approach in the last game, but as you said, there was a really bad opponent on the other side, so let's not get too excited.
Wright, Lee pairing looked really well defensively, so perhaps it wouldn't be bad to give this pairing another shot tomorrow. If nothing else, showcasing Lee a bit more wouldn't be bad.
