In a continuation of our series breaking down the season that was for every rotation player on the roster, Tony and I turned our attention to the forward position, which includes wing-sized wings, as well as those who were shoehorned into sopping up minutes at the four-spot. As always, to make it easier to follow along, here's the stats, lines, and clips for each player -- albeit with limited context to avoid spoilers.
