once Kemba and Batum realize you shouldn't throw it down to Dwight - and just let him get easy put-backs - our team will get much better.. forcing offense through Big Al is way different then forcing offense through D12..

Lamb by the way - has been getting great praise from Cliff and coaching staff for offseason.. hope it translates and isnt just fluff..

You can tell that Dwight and Kemba need to work on their PnR chemistry together (on offense and defense) a little more and it'll take a few games for Dwight to find his footing in the offense, but he definitely contributed in the areas we really need him to be strong in.

Positives:

  • He had 10 rebounds (4 offensive) in 23 minutes of play. Would have had more, but Celtics fired up a ton of threes which led to longer boards out of his reach.
  • He had 3 blocked shots and he definitely altered some others
  • And while he didn't convert at a good clip, Dwight got to the foul line which has independent value

Those things listed were exactly what we really need him for. A monster on the glass and an elite rim protector. 

I think the offensive chemistry will improve as he gets more run with Kemba and Nic. Not expecting Dwight to be the all star he was a few years ago, but he's still talented. He will be a valuable piece for us this year I think

Lamb had 17 points off the bench which was great to see.

He and Monk were especially fun to watch running around on the wings together. If Frank can become more consistent, that second unit could have a ton of fire power

      Exactly the type of thing he would have done here. The excuse people were stannin’ so hard claiming he would have looked just as bad. Just not true.

      It's not just the Panthers... the NFL sucks at developing young QBs "it's a systemic problem"

      Yes and there aren't 32 starting QBs in the league either. Too many teams and too many games. The NFL has regressed over the years and game quality is lacking. The other leagues are supposed to be farm leagues but it doesn't matter. You just won't have 32 no matter what they do. The move to super athletes playing QB at all levels has lead to this. It used to be those guys played other positions but now they are QBs who can't really QB.  It has a trickle down effect too. OL can't block because they never had to. The fact that in today's game your QB must be able to run at least a little to survive is evidence of this as well. IMO they have ruined the game same as with the NBA. It's been simplified to the point of being boring.  Just look at the top 10 this season. Patrick Mahomes (Chiefs) Joe Burrow (Bengals) Josh Allen (Bills) Lamar Jackson (Ravens) Dak Prescott (Cowboys) Jalen Hurts (Eagles) Brock Purdy (49ers) Jordan Love (Packers) Justin Herbert (Chargers) Matthew Stafford (Rams) Once we get to number 5 the stats look like this: 167 262 1,845 63.7 7.0 10 8 65 18 84.5   47.5   10 TDs and 8 INTs??? At number 5??? There was a time not that long ago that he wouldn't even be a starter.

      I'm not convinced that the NFL is any better or worse at developing QBs now than they were 20 years ago.  I mean I'm sure there are some developmental issues at play, just not sure it is any different than it has been. The biggest difference IMO is that NFL teams are waaaaaaaay more willing to invest a 1st round pick into a QB now than they were 15-20 years ago.  A guy like Colin Kaepernick would probably be a top 5 pick in 2025, whereas he went in the 2nd in 2011.  Would a guy like Trey Lance go top 3 in 2010?  Hell no.  Look at Russell Wilson - he didn't go until the 3rd round.  The standard for being a 1st round QB has dropped. So it may seem like we're seeing more high-profile busts at the position, but we're also seeing teams reach for QBs way more than they have in the past.  Someone with Anthony Richardson's college resume doesn't go in the top 3 20 years ago.
