    Carried OT for us. Ingram probably getting more ball handling duties if Rondo isn’t back soon. I don’t know how I feel about that.

    Yeah. But damn .... and I don't think this keeps him from continuing to evolve into a star "quality" player whether he gets the votes or not ..... have to agree with @KareemtheGreat33 and a couple others that it's just grating watching him work and dribble that damn ball too often right into the teeth of the defense inside. His handles keep getting better but they're not as good as he seems to think they are. Make me nervous every time. Like watching Randle with his first dribble always level with the top of his head in there. Which is why I wanted to see Kuz with the damned ball in the 4th and OT. It's like they went brain dead or just froze him out. PJ Tucker isn't that good. Get him the damn ball with some time on the clock and space to work.

    So clutch. Drilled a jumpshot and 4 FT's late in the 4th, KD-esque in OT.

    Looked like all star in OT, just he should drible les,maybe once and shoot or pass.
    That shot over rivers as clock was running was nice and not many players could make it so efortless.

    Redeemed himself after another crappy game up to that point. Great in crunch time.

    ...until Caldwell-Pope did a Draymond Green and decided not to pass to him.

    Decisive and assertive once his shot was falling. Ingram will be needed at point until Ball comes back or when both James and Rondo are both available. He'll have more time with the rock so he'll get comfy and get engaged throughout a game.

    well, yeah, everyone's calling with lowball offers (i'm sure the mavs offered smith for him, for example).

    at least the word from la has changed from "untouchable" to "available for all stars", as it should have been from day one.

    Ingram played well tonight. Lots of ISO but he was dominating smaller guys in the paint all night. That first half he was 8 for his first 9 shots. That's efficient. Good game. Too bad every team isn't the Suns.

    ^yes, he was great and efficient.

    Still, to me his average motor is concerning. He doesn't give you confidence that he will win this game for you, no matter what.

    His nonchalant nature is kind of annoying because you never know what you get. An aggressive BI or a passive BI.

    I like Ingram (like Kuz better), but he doesn't fit on Bron's team. The more players that are out, the better he can look. He's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit and doesn't consistently try to find ways to fit without scoring the rock. Effort and motor has everyone in the NBA wondering. I'd rather move on before while there's still some mystique there. If he's not included in an AD deal, I still move him for perimeter shooting. Whether that be to a 3rd team in an AD deal or a separate deal entirely.

    If we get AD, and he wants to play PF, and Lebron insists he's a SF, that leave, PG, SG, and C, and he's none of those at 6'11". He's just not. While I'd like to keep him, I don't see the fit, and I don't see him coming off the bench.

    The more I watch BI the more I see George Gervin in his game ... so I could see him as a SG. Is he really close to 6'11 or just plays that way with his length ? I heard the Suns announcers last night talk about him being 6'10 and with your comment above I'm now curious. By the way, I love the potential of the young core BI, Kuz, Zo, and Zubac ... would love to keep one in the deal if possible.
