    Someone forgot to tell Memphis that AD isn’t that good on offense.

    Glad the injury wasn't serious. He came back strong in the second half...

    It's like he's basically Ben Wallace or something.

    Yeah, on the real tip that line though - 28, 13 and 7 BLOCKS in 31 minutes. That's kind of phenomenal. Just a little bit.

    If only he had a future, though, right? He’s like 38 years old.

    Facing same challenge as Pau. He needs to absorb the physicality that comes with playing the big man position.

    Great 3 point shooting but he needs to go up strong when he's so close to the basket. Blew 2-3 easy layups because he went up soft.

    “Garbage” today. Not as awesome as can be with semi-down game. 32 13 and 2 blocks.

    Has trouble to punish matchups down low because of a lack of lower body power and balance in the post .

    Got fouled and beat up without calls all game though

    Yeah, would seem obvious to put more muscle and strength into his legs and butt.

    I wonder if he's tried and just can't add the necessary bulk which is why he asks to play power forward.

    Future Ingram would have put up 60/30/17 en route to a 150-point blowout.

    Wasn’t he a little sore on his lower body from the previous game? I don’t see C Bags bigs being that intimidating. He still put up good numbers, just not much inside power to today’s game.

    ...more like a combination of a souped up Rasheed Wallace AND Ben Wallace?

    I’ll miss Phil in the playoffs I think. He’d get in the refs heads about the small ballers hacking AD before the games even started. It’s their only chance, and the league seems cool with it.

    publicly drawing attention to it before you're losing is the way to nip it in the bud.

    Hey so where were your seats? Close enough to see how big “Brawn” looks in person as someone here reported earlier in the season?
