    It's unfortunate. Lebron actually has a legit second option right now in Ingram, and we are still getting beat by bottom feeders.

    Thanks for playing hard BI. I’ll miss you this summer when you are traded for a bag of Doritos and some dryer lint.

    I really hope we just sign Kawhi in the off season and trade kuzma, Hart and 3 first round draft picks for AD.

    Imagine

    Zo (improves in off season)
    Ingram (improves in off season)
    Kawhi
    LeBron
    AD

    Then sign vets that play defense like:

    Ariza, Wes, DJ, etc. Bring Bonga and Wagner to the table to play.

    Lebron could learn something from BI. BI has arguably been our best player the last few games.

    Big props to Ingram. He's really weathered the storm and is turning into what everyone hoped. Love how he is still playing well despite the nonsense going on around him.

    Hate that we're wasting these big games from Ingram...

    He's been a beast and I hope he keeps this up...at least we can get excited about SOMETHING

    The lone bright spot, which probably doesn't even matter because they will trade him next year.

    He's scoring, but disrupting the flow of the offense to do so. I don't think it's optimal for the long term success of the team. He needs to either be the focal point of an ISO offense, or expand his game more.

    i mean, his cap hold will be too big and stuff...

    i agree and have been on that train all season. that said, he's one of like, 3 players who looks to be trying hard right now. plus, he's hit the boards more and made a few catch and shoot threes. that's progress.

    At least he's doing his thing on D too....for all the love Kuzma gets for playing the "right" way, he is non existent defensively and is quite a streak shooter as well

    i feel like kuzma's working on d. his instincts on that end aren't great; his feet aren't quick (reacting is harder than acting), and he's not strong enough to really mix it up down low.

    ingram gets burned a lot on d, too. but both guys at least look to be working. contrast that with lebron, mcgee, and rondo.

    Yeah. Kuzma puts in the effort on the defensive end. He's just clueless. Ingram gets burned on defense, but he is putting in effort. And let's be honest, with as close as fouls are called these days and how fast players have become, everyone gets burned from time to time.
