    Ingram sounds confident in his interview right now. I think this is the most I’ve ever heard him speak, the loudest and non-mumbly he’s ever been. He says his body feels great, he kinda said without saying that he feels like he’s ready to break out, and more than anything he’s ready to go on defense. He seemed genuinely excited though, something I have rarely ever described him as.

    Agreed. It was like when you haven't seen a cousin since they were a toddler and suddenly they're a teenager talking smack to you.

    He's going to surprise a lot of people this year. Feel like there will be points where he'll look like our defacto second best player.

    Hmmm. I was being a smart a** in Kawhi's thread with his first playing footage that was nothing spectacular understandably in his first pre-season game yesterday after the weirdest year ever last season .... by calling him a "shorter de-souped Ingram". If he somehow is not 100% again .... look the hell out for our 3rd year player on his to the moon old school work and focus trajectory in this league. That shot is looking beautiful.

    Only one game, but the fact that he was moving well off the ball means he's gonna get easy looks from Rondo/lebron/zo. I think he will put up 20pts a game this year.

    Looked really good. Especially that baseline fadeaway was money.

    You still see that his long range shot is kinda clunky like he doesn't have enough power to shoot. He just doesn't seem to be a natural shooter. FT shooting emphasizes that.

    Looked pretty good, but of course we are really going to see how much he improved during the regular season. And yes, free throws.

    Seems to have OK chemistry with Bron too.

    i agree; it's like his shot from distance has a full extra set of motions. he also looked to get tired as the game wore on. but the aggression was good. loved the block on hernangomez--i think it got in his head a little after he was feeling himself.

    He looked good. Give me that for 78 games with 36% from 3, and I am good.

    He looked good out there, some of that deceptive strength down low. That offensive rebound, put back surrounded by 4 Nuggets was great.
