It's like we're only allowed to have one young player play well at a time. I'm anxiously waiting for the day when Kuz and BI go off in the same game, WITH Lonzo healthy finally...

Seems like every time BI or Lonzo get going, string together some promising games they get injured

They gotta get tiny back on track Friday.

I’d suggest an adderall 15 before tip and have the other starters look for him early like we used to with Bynum. He usually plays really good when he gets off to a good start.

Ingram frustrates me a bit when he shoots contested mid range jumpers out of the high post. Don't think he really shot any tonight, but he took an awful contested 20 footer in a crucial possession, which we were lucky to get back due to the activity of Randle.

He is obviously still affected by that injury. You can see it in his every step. He is much slower than before injury.
Just after AS break hope we will have fully healthy squad to make final run.

The most annoying play last night was when he cut baseline under the basket, and Brook gave him the ball. Instead of stopping pump faking and going up with a lay-up, he dribbles out to take a turn-around fade. It was GLARINGLY bad watching it again on my dvr because even Marcus Smart thought Ingram would go up underneath the basket. Anybody who has played ball knows you should do that, that's why Marcus jumped to challenge, but Ingram dribbles out, so Smart lands on his feet, follows him out and jumpes AGAIN to challenge his turn-around fade. Smart jumped TWICE in that sequence. LOL!

Injury is slowing him down, but this is why he needs a jumper more than ever. If you're banged up and can't attack the rim, you need a fall back option. Plus, it's probably better for your body long term to have a variety of scoring options.

Ingram is a natural team player and is always playing within the system and do many little things for the team. That’s his strength, not weakness in my opinion. He is not a great scorer yet but is improving in this area too.

His performance lately has been very disappointing. If he has an injury then sit out until it is healed.

Ingram did plenty of not so nice things last night, but he had a few nice plays too. I missed it initially, but that second half kick out from beneath the basket to KCP for three was a thing of beauty. Very smooth, heads up play.
