    Ingram also checked Paul today (along with Nwada...) He didn't take any mess from Griffin who tried to get physical with him downcourt after being scored on.

    It seems I have underestimated how much fatigue can affect a rail-thin rookie. After a few days rest, Ingram transformed into a completely different player, taking his explosiveness and speed to another level. I can't wait to see how much he'd improve with a offseason's worth of training and conditioning.

    I'm now convinced Ingram will become our franchise player.

    It would hurt pretty bad to be a cellar dwelling team again too. Hope they make the right moves.

    No, after realizing that he was averaging 13.8/4.1/2.4 post-ASB while operating at 80% from fatigue. This game made me realize what a monster he can become when he matures athletically.

    I'm thinking maybe it's because the tendinitis was bugging him and hampering his play for awhile but being young and with modern tech the several days off allowed him to get past it. It was reported he missed playing so much he started banging on Luke to let him play again and not shut him down the rest of the year once it improved. Now he knows there's only a few games left and he's quite a bit like Kobe loving the game (gym rat) and is leaving everything on the floor these last games trying to get better before they're done and His rookie season is over, against real competition.

    It could be a combination of fatigue and the soreness, but that soreness can really sap your explosiveness and make you hold back.

    He went double digits again. That's 11 or 12 in a row - too lazy to look.

    PRE ASB vs. POST ASB
    (Pts-Ast-Reb)
    14.2-4.7-3.7 Russell 18.4-5.1-2.7
    13.7-2.1-2.9 Clarkson 18.2-4.0-3.1
    12.9-1.8-8.1 Randle 13.2-4.1-10.4
    8.0-1.9-4.1 Ingram 13.8-2.4-4.1
    6.9-1.7-3.8 Nance 6.4-1.3-5.1
    6.0-0.7-5.4     Black 4.8-0.3-4.1
    5.8-0.5-4.0 Zubac 10.0-1.2-4.5

    Although his rebounds haven't improved, his scoring bump is gigantic: 70% increase. Zubac's increase is also about 70%.

    How much do you attribute these stats to the Lou Williams trade?

    It freed up PT and signaled the full tank. Remember that Moz and Deng have also played almost no minutes since then.

    The stiff and the senior citizen should just be ball boys at this point.

    He has hit his post ASB season averages through three quarters, on limited minutes. That's 12 games in a row in double digits.

    There was a point in the game where they were double teaming Ingram, I love it!!! He was unstoppable whoever was guarding him it was beautiful to watch. Can't wait to see this young man get better and better every off season

    You watch. Moz's professional pride is going to kick in for next season after what happened this season and from him lurking on LB and taking it all season. He's going to be a high quality backup to :Chewie: next year.

    Deng .... unless he truly is much older than what's on record (???) and also having lurked on LB and seen this [​IMG] .... does he have any professional pride??? You'd think so. Let's f****** see it!

    Until Rob magically goes Mitch-with-his-wand and unloads his sorry a**.

    Thanks for doing both pre and post ASB. An uptick and minutes also helps because of the Lou trade. but good to see in general from our guys
