    How about this?

    Great defense, great playmaking, best player on the court tonight, D up pg13, whiskers, and melo, and we won, but focus on the negative.

    That's all you took out from this game?...Come'n fam.

    He's asked to play a position he's never played before and we're 2-0 as a result.

    He had to play point against Russ and PG's defense for large portions of the game (3 TOs vs 5 assists).

    He had to defend PG and Russ for large portions of the game (those 2 combined for a net -7 impact on the floor).

    He was questionable for the game with a groin injury, yet powered through it.

    Huge ups to Slenderman today!

    I thought he was great. That block on Melo made my day, what a beautiful sight.

    Took Anthony to the post for a nice spin and flush. Nice guide tip off a lob too.

    I think it was George, which is even better ;)

    Yep...you're right it was PG13. Ingram also slinked around another defender near the baseline for another slam.

    Good to see Ingram playing the point forward position along with defending the opponent's best scoring option(s). A Scottie Pippen role if you will. All that and providing points too... Ingram really steadies the floor.

    Kept delaying passes to Randle who could have abused Anthony on the low block much to Hubie Brown's consternation. Love Hubie, okay! :)

    As I said in Game Time - he's just warming up. Ingram plays his best ball after the ASG. :Ingram Heart Hands:

    Great game from Slendergram, we're asking a lot from him out there with Ball out but he's been delivering as of late.

    nice game. stat line looks like the one i'd hoped to see all year, putting the stamp with a defensive stop. thought george was rookin' him a bit, but then he gathered himself for that spin and dunk, and that shut it down. good growth moment there, imo, as george was really winning that matchup, physically and psychologically.

    ...saw the second half off a replay feed. Ingram did it a second time. Blew by him, cradled the ball, took the hit, drew the foul, converted the shot and made the free throw. George got tee'd up too.

    Yes the FT's at the end but I loved Ingram's aggressiveness and pushing the ball. So glad we aren't seeing any Ennis and Brandon is doing a great job of pushing the pace till Lonzo gets back.

    We have a new secret inbound play with Slendergram and Randle.
