If he's never much more than a damn good to great wing defender, there's always value in having him out there against George, KD, etc. in a playoff series.

that was so obvious to anyone other than Walton it seems. luckily for us, he noticed it this game |
Sadly I think the only reason Walton did it was because he was struggling so much to score and it was a good way to spend his energy. |
LOL, I am so happy you guys are not the coach. That was the gameplan fools. You dont throw BI at him right away and give him time to adjust. That was great defensive coaching by Walton. And the team allowed him to bring in BI (because he was struggling to score) fresh to finish off PG for the night.
Haters on LG. |
so then the gameplan last time was letting him tear KCP apart in the 4th? |
Luke was using BI to "close" that 4th. It's pretty obvious he's not going to ask a one player to do both. |

Yep. Defense alone can keep a guy on a team.
The good thing about BI is that he has other gifts. |

Would be concerned about him getting into foul trouble. Though that's true of really the entire team I suppose |

I’m a die hard at the end of the day. I get pissed off when we lose especially to terrible teams. |

More playmaking. Less shooting. I'd rather have the shooting. Let's hope he gets there. |

There is, unless you’re coach doesn’t give the assignment to you.
Ingram was basically on Ferguson in the first 3 quarters. Luke should watch some LakerFilmRoom tapes cuz Ingram isn’t the best at closing out on 3-pointers.
Luke didn’t put Ingram on PG until the last 4 mins of the 4th quarter.

good players will adjust by the 4th if you stick with the same defender or at least that's what I saw with Kobe...good move by Luke |

| Guy played with grit tonight. Stuck with it, made plays for others when his shot wasn't falling, and didn't let it affect his defense. |

| His shot-making was obviously bad and I thought his closeouts on Ferguson weren't great, but I thought Brandon made the right play more often than not and has been doing that more consistently over the last few games. I can live with bad shot-making nights, that's gonna happen. |

Agreed, I still don't know if this coaching staff is ignorant or merely wishcasting in how they deploy Ingram.

Lonzo and Kuzma were A WALL that game they literally scored like 7 points total. They needed BI scoring that game.
What do you think every game plays out the same?
In fact that was the game Kuzma got hurt. |

If LeBron was playing, BI would be guarding PG the whole game, but with no LeBron and with BI's responsibility as the point forward on offense, seemed like the coaching staff didn't want BI getting into foul trouble and was able to rest a bit on defense just closing out on Ferguson until 4th quarter & OT time, where PG got blanketed by BI & the Lakers defense when it mattered down the stretch. This is a good step, as even though he couldn't buy a bucket, was still able to impact the game with his passing and defense down the stretch, along with hitting all his free throws as well.

| The boys were on tonight. Zubac, Kuz, Lonzo. Bi did not have a great offensive night still managed 5 assists, 11 boards, and all his free throws. With that said, he was key as soon as he got in from the last 4 minutes of the fourth and OT. The guy that was killing us was Paul George and guess who was asked to shadow him to close out the game. Correct me if I’m wrong but he shut out Paul George in those closing minutes of the 4th and OT. Great game plan by Luke. |
