Hard earned win and great run to finish it off. Nice bounce back game from BI too, hopefully build more confidence going forward

Ingram had his first good game today out of 3. Might be blowing the whistle a tad early.
Ingram didn’t have a bad game though. First game he was playing well until the fourth, pretty sure he was 9-15 with 21 points until he choked in the end. Last game he was mediocre but it’s not like Kuz and Zo played any better.

Nah, I still think he's the odd man out when Bron is in the lineup. He's clearly talented and I would've liked to see him develop without Bron. But in my opinion, he can't play his game with another ball dominant forward on the floor. Better to trade him for better fitting pieces...

He can play his game with Bron if he stops relying on ISO so much. I mean nothing in Ingram's game really says that he can't play with Bron.

I don't find it a coincidence that Ingram stepped up down the stretch with Lonzo out of the game....Last year Brandon played his best basketball when Lonzo was injured......The problem with Ingram is that he's not naturally aggressive....When he's on the court with other ball dominant players he has a tendency to shrink....It's not Lebron's job to take a backseat to Ingram, that could cost LA a playoff spot...It's up to Ingram(and Ball) to maintain their assertiveness.....Great players are going to shine regardless.

That's what I'm saying. If scoring from Iso's is his game, and he can't do it, then the team isn't getting his best.

Not everyone can adapt to being off the ball after being a #1 like say, Chris Bosh or even Wade did during the Heatles days.

Ingram stepped it up on both ends down the stretch. Clutch shots and checking Fox.

Yeah and he did a better job of not doing that today. This isn't the best time to criticize Ingram after he played a great game.
