    Really happy to see that kind of game from him. Hopefully he can build on that performance

    ...as long as Durant doesn't advise him to make up fake social media names to get back at peoples. Other than that, yes, he's a stand up cat.

    Sunday he'll probably look closer to the first game and hopefully everyone stays positive then!

    But seriously, I thought it was great to see him bounce back. It's also no surprise that his best game came mostly in transition/semi-transition and off the ball. His best game since the preseason and season started and it came when he was used the least in isolations. Crazy.

    Ingram still has to hone his off the dribble skills which affects his shooting motion. Not primed for isos yet. Off transition, he doesn't get bumped or harried that he can get his J off smoothly. Frees him up as well so he can drive without so much resistance with defenses set.

    LOL you must have missed the multiple and not joking "bust" tags given him after pre-season and the first game of the season. Get a clue.

    Nice bounce back game. Hope he keeps this up.

    But again, I'm not a believer yet in his shooting, nor do I think he'll have many performances like these ones.

    It was great to see him put up 20+ points, but it was against the Suns and we know how bad they are defensively.

    If he does this against the Pelicans tomorrow, and Washington next week? I'll shut up.

    I'm interested to see if he can be crafty while charging right into AD and Cousins.

    i'll be the j******: i'm going to agree with ingram that he played a pretty similar game to what he played in the preseason--i (mercifully) missed the opener. he was still forcing drives right, not really moving the ball, shooting the midrange pull up, etc. he just had better results.

    look how much easier the game looks for ball and kuzma. then watch ingram and randle just labor for FGAs. coaching staff should have already fixed this.

    long term, i don't want him playing this way. it's not sustainable, imo.

    I think Ingram will be just fine ........ still very young ........ if his work ethic matches his intangibles he will be a star in this league and very difficult to handle ....... I'll wait for a much larger sample size before gauging his improvements , seems to me his demeanour has changed which suggests comfort in his game..... this is a good sign IMO that improvements have been made...

    He has to think it's his idea to change his approach.

    How do we make that happen?

    Threaten him with what you're famous for if you can't figure that out?

    BI needs to just chill. He doesn't have to worry about winning or competing for a title just yet. Play and make mistakes without thinking it's going to destroy your career. Even if fans think so.
