    This was definitely the best game he's played in a while. I loved it.

    A terrific showing at and for LeBron to see.

    Brilliant bounce back game from Ingram tonight. That's when you know you have a keeper. He had a rough go against NY and he came back aggressively and effectively. At one point there in the third quarter he was 9 out of 10 shooting!!!!! This kid has a lot of heart. 26,6 and 6? Wow.

    Once again though, he shows up for big "Prove them wrong" type games. I know he's only 20, but why can't he play like this against the bad teams. Goes toe to toe with Durant, Lebron, Simmons, etc. Lays an egg against the Suns and Knicks. :speechless:

    Well, to be fair, we know why he didn't play like this against the Knicks and they aren't a bad team either. The Knicks did a great job of crowding the paint on all of his drives, and Porzingis' length really bothered Ingram on the help D near the rim. He's one of the only guys I can imagine having the length to do that. Others might be Giannis and of course Durant. But they scouted him well. What I liked was that Ingram still played aggressively. He blamed himself for the loss and he also worked on his counter pull up move the very next day. Then he comes out and just destroyed last night making 2/3 of his shots.

    The important part is that he came out after a bad game with a KILLER game. That's a driven kid right there. That's exactly what I wanted to see. But I'm beyond impressed with the results. It's one thing to want to play well the next game, but another to be that on fire against a championship caliber team. Also didn't he have a really good game against the Suns the first time we played them at their place this year, or am I misremembering?

    He was used how a lot of us were saying early on when it was iso after iso. Great bounce back game but wish we used him more in the 4th.

    Next up, the Kobe one dribble pull up. That would make him dangerous.

    Draymond would literally murder him before he got to 75.
