Howard having an off game and the rest of the team picking him up, shows so much, so much.   MKG with 10 points and a good game, if he can do this every night, that would be fantastic.    Monk is looking great and Bacon contributing as well, I love it.

Once MCW and Batum return we will be one of the deepest teams in the league. Kemba is playing at an all star lever. Hollinger has him as the second best pg in the league based on his PER. I'm worried that he may start to break down as the season goes on. MCW will hopefully give him some breathers soon.

Thoughts on the game: 

1. MKG MKG MKG: He gets a lot of crap for his offense and even sometimes his defense but this game was won on the defensive side and his defense against Conley was amazing. 

2. Kemba: Still can't believe how much he's progressed. Willed us to win in the 4th. 

3. Monk: Struggled almost all game, then Kemba goes out after the Tech and he knocks down some big shots to help bring us back. Monk seems to struggle with his shot when he is at PG and off the dribble but does well when at SG with catch and shoot. 

4. Cody: He really set the tone. His screens, rebounds and intensity really brought us back. 

5. Dwight: Struggled today but played Gasol well and besides a few miscommunications with switching his defense was great. 

6. Lamb: Continues to impress. Can't wait until Batum is back and Lamb makes that 2nd unit amazing. 

7. Amazing defense in that 4th quarter

i thought this same thing before the game but didn't say anything.. he was not gunna be able to leave his guy and just out-rebound the entire team last night.. he had to play solid D on one of the best Bigs left in the game - which resulted in an off-offensive night for him..

look for this to be the case in the month of November when we play the Clippers (Jordan), Spurs (Gasol), Timberwolves (KAT), Washington (Gortat), Toronto (Val).. he might not have numbers that jump off the stat sheet like October - but he will be huge for us down low on defense..

6. Or Batum makes the 2nd team better and Lamb stays as the 2nd leading scorer on the team and a starter..

Might happen at 1st but after Batum gets in playing shape Cliff will always favor starting Batum. 

But...I would not be surprised to see Batum a whole lot with that 2nd unit and being subbed out early for Lamb.

      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.
