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

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.

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..

      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.

      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.
