    Best game yet! Really assertive on both sides of the court. I like to think that no call early in the first fired him up.

    Ingram has markedly improved! The way he plays now is totally different from the beginning of the season. He's assertive and he does ALL the right things on the court. This guy has become my favorite Laker!

    I wish they went to Ingram more but Lou was hot in the 4th.

    He also had twice as many all-star votes as D'Angelo Russell

    So shocking Lebron and others stars don't like Leonard getting recognition ... true story reported by Lebron's boy Brian Windhorst ...

    Like what I've seen from him and Zubac the last few games. So much potential with Ingram.

    I think he'll be special. Luke is doing a great job developing him this season.

    I'm ready to put Ingram over Randle and Russell in terms of star potential. Not because of pure talent but because he just seems to understand what it takes for the team to win. He's much more consistent with his effort and focus on a game to game basis. Those are signs of a franchise player. The tanking has paid off.

    He was the best player on our team last night and truly helped lead us to victory. He's getting better all the time! Good on Luke to recognize, utilize and develop his point forward abilities. The long distance shooting will improve. He's got a nice release and touch. The kid's got so much game and basketball smarts. Not to be harsh on his young colleagues but he's more mature than any of them.

    Yeah. He has all the tools and seems to have the right mind set.

    Did anyone catch interviewer telling Brandon he had the most minutes on the team this season?

    We've had our first round picks for 3 years in a row. #2,#2,#7, prior to that we haven't had a high first since Bynum @ #10 in 2005. The protection clauses put in by our FO saved our picks. That's the facts. Ed Davis who's averaging 4pts 5reb 0.5blks over Randle and Nance Jr? No thanks. In 2014-2015 When IT was FA we had to get under the cap per the rules (to avoid the repeat offenders rule and severe penalties), we were picking a PG (DAR) and the entire plan had shifted to rebuild. There is sacrifice in a rebuild period.

    Good game. My wife came in the room as he was being interviewed after the game and thought he was high as a kite.
