    Did not impact the game points wise but kept his poise against a really good defensive team. Did not force anything and played a smart game.

    Very, very poor shooting night. I'm thinking that ankle is still bothering him. He hasn't looked like himself since he turned it.

    Still initiated the offense, locked in defensively on Tatum and irving. Thinking Ingram could be what Odom was to 24. Who the next 24 remains to be seen even if observers are hyping someone currently for that role.

    Seems like he is back to garbage mode lately.

    Ingram BADLY needs Lonzo offensively

    Yep , this game showed he has ways to go when it comes to his 1 on 1/shots making abilities against superior defense.

    We can thank JC and Kuz for this game

    This. To me it’s clear as day that he hasn’t been the same since Dallas. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming he’s playing through pain because we need him to. Let’s see how he is after the all-star break.

    I thought honestly he played fine. He outplayed Tatum and (in my opinion) Jaylen Brown who both are being hyped up more than him. Boston is a great defensive team and Ingram isn't a shooter yet. It's not a good combination. He also doesn't seem to have the confidence yet that a guy like Kuzma does, but he's getting there. He's going to be really good.

    I'm going too with the ankle factor affecting him. Because he's a p***y of course.

    Good game, but he plays better with Lonzo.
