    This kid is special. Brandon is simply a different player this year. He’s driving to the basket and taking contact and being able to finish. Finishing with his off hand. Hitting the mid range jumper. Getting to the foul line.

    His defense was really good down the stretch against KD who just did what KD does. Really cool to see the future match up against the present. They’ve been compared so often and at least tonight Brandon showed he was worthy of that comparison.

    I didn't like how much we relied on him isoing down the stretch, but it was a great game from him overall. I liked his aggressiveness all game long offensively, he should have gotten more whistles.

    Maybe his best stat line? 6-7 from the free throw line.

    Wow, wow, wow tonight. The showdown vs. Durant was so cool to watch. They went at each other and Ingram held his own against one of the greatest. So impressive. So aggressive!

    He went at Durant, no fear. Played him shot for shot almost the entire game, and actually outscored him, just couldn’t get a key FT and that foul call to end regulation. Still such an encouraging game from him, he’s so steadily improving and learning how to get to the hoop. I see more confidence in his handles as well.

    His hesitation dribble going right is honestly scary for the league. He can get there almost at will. The next step in that evolution will probably be a pull up jumper off the hang which will be wide open after a couple drives. After that, obviously he needs to be able to cross over and drive left as well.

    I think Ingram should play against Durant every night. Or at least pretend he’s playing against him. Definitely saw a step forward tonight in confidence in his game.

    This should go in The Optimism thread. Either that or the hell has frozen over thread.

    Ok. You have to include Lonzo. He scored 29.

    I hate these arbitrary milestones.
