The 49ers are approaching a critical juncture in the season, the Warriors are off to a hot start, and the Giants introduced a new manager at Oracle Park on Thursday.

The end of October is one of the busiest times in the Bay Area sports calendar, so The Standard’s Tim Kawakami joined Section 415 to analyze all of the latest developments.

Following last Sunday’s loss to the Houston Texans, Kawakami wrote that the 49ers know there are no magic fixes to the challenging predicament they face.

After Steve Kerr made Jonathan Kuminga a regular starter for the Warriors, Kawakami spoke with Kuminga about what’s changed for him at the start of his fifth NBA season.
