    I loved this play. For some reason the Lakers only posted the Spanish version to twitter, but whatever

    This is the most I've seen him attack the paint. Great game from him

    Earlier in the season, somebody wanted to trade him for John Wall. :Fishwink:

    Not only did he get in the lane a lot but he broke out a new move that was sick. Kind of the opposite of the fake behind the back pass move with the left hand going to the rack before laying it it up with his left. This time he was in same vicinity on the right side headed for the basket and faked the ball forward like a scoop shot, stopped on a dime, reverse pivoted and threw in a pretty floater with his left hand going left.

    And not only that but he did it in Spanish, as noted by Weezy at the top of this page .....

    True. Still, we could use a mini Harden on our team.

    Other than the two careless TO's at the end of the 4th quarter, a very solid game from D'Angelo tonight. He looked like a legit PG out there.

    Yeah, he was really running the offense this game. Looked in control and like he knew what he was doing.

    Still even with this good showing Ingram is giving him a run for his money for the most steady psudo PG right now.

    I'd rather Russ spot up for the 3 and have Ingram initiate the offense

    I agree. Ingram's 6'10 size gives him a unique courtvision advantage that Russell can only dream of.

    He's been finding a good balance between getting his own and creating for others. Also been taking care of the ball well as of late.

    I still don't trust him late 4th quarter with the ball in his hands. Way too careless.
