    One of his best games as a Laker. Played mostly to his strengths on offense (lenff) and didn’t over-iso until really late in the game for the most part, which I blame Luke for anyway. Played some great defense on multiple players too, pissed CP3 off a couple times.

    The FT is so vital for Ingram. He has improved his efficiency there lately.

    If guys have confidence that they will knock down 2 at the line, they can "force" fouls. But if you are scared, you try to use the little english to avoid hard contact which decreases your overall efficiency.

    Shoulders and arms are bigger than at start of the season. He continues to work hard in that area. Probably in the weight room while Kuz was off at the All Star game.

    Stepped up big last night. Nice to see him play well with LeBron.

    GREAT to see him grab some boards. he should get more than he does with his arms and mobility. his long-range shooting still makes me very, very sad.

    houston was just leaving our entire team open all night--even bullock.

    Much as we WMC about it he continues to keep grinding and getting gradually better with short range ISO, finishing and dribbling skills. Having a third player that can create his own shot along with LBJ and Kuz is a great thing. Yes gets stripped at times and LeBron and Rondo throw stupid passes for TOs at times too.

    Tatum not on that list because when you average 30-15-10, you don’t have time for inferior lists like that.

    On the real, it was nice seeing him play like a guy that is 6’9 with an enormous wingspan. Even through his weight around on multiple occasions.

    Less dribbling and more games like this please.

    30-15-10? That seems a bit low. Are you sure those numbers are right? I was almost positive he was averaging 5 blocks and 5 steals too.

    I was referring to his stats when he was 11 years old going against NBA all-defensive talent. He didn’t take that next step until he was 12 and played 1 on 5 going 82-0 and beating the Dream Team.

    Got it. That makes more sense. He needed to go 1 on 5 so no one stole any blocks from him.

    He and Lebron are slowly learning how to play off each other. Lebron’s been here before with D-Wade who was also a attack the rim type of player. Making his free throws is also huge.

    Man, he was focused. That was great to see. Sometimes he'll wander and drop off due to mental lapses, but he was keyed in all night. Played his game and Houston didn't really have any answers.

    If only he could hit the 3 and not fall in love with it, but have it as a backup weapon in the arsenal. Those air balls...yeeesh!
