I bet he is in Thailand or Fiji and hasn't watched a single game since. Atleast that's what I would do if I was him |

| His game is driving to the hole. For now, just focus on that. Shot will come back. He was a good shooter in college! Damn. |

Mid-range and shots in the paint only for BI. Also, when he needs to push it on the break because like C-Webb said, he's very crafty and is able to get there and finish well |

When BI missed his first two FT's, I was worried seeing as how he's been shooting FT's well, but glad to see him recover and hit his next 8 straight. Was glad to see BI aggressive and not always deferring to LBJ - think that is necessary to be the robin to bron's batman.
Harden plays great D on BI for whatever reason though - always picks his pocket. |

| Ingram was low key on defense tonight, but looked really good. I love our chances going forward |

Right now teams give him space to shoot and rightfully calculate that he won't shoot that 3. If he realized that it would actually open things up for him, maybe he would address the 3 point attempts issue. |
And the thing is even without that improvement in outside shooting, he can still be a relatively efficient scorer if he just hits his FTs. Throw in some better decision-making and playmaking, which he has shown an ability to do in stretches, and now you're talking about a solid offensive player overall.
The three-ball would take him to another level, borderline to actual All-Star. It just may not come until his second contract (or with the Lakers), though, unfortunately for us and our extremely impatient FO. |
It's a mindset issue. To me, it seems his first reflex is to drive the ball rather than shoot it.
You can sense the hesitancy on that wide open jumper for that nanosecond. |
Blatantly visible he’s scared to shoot a lot of pretty open 3s |
From his interviews BI is self aware of his shortcomings. He just needs to find the right shooting coach and the shot will come.
When it was reported he was working with Jed Buechler on changing his mechanics I just had that feeling it was a mistake and I still believe so. |

Great all around game.
A few instances when he ignored lbj wanting to walk the ball up but there was a glimpse of him waiting for LeBron and hugging him. (After the game) |

That's it. I'm sure there's footage somewhere because you could see Ingram's pride in the way he looks at LeBron. Ingram played a hell of a game! |

This is why I disagree with the role player talk. It's just not how he's wired.
He's not going to be happy with being the 3rd or 4th best option on a championship squad. |

In the 4th, sprinkled in with his good play, he had that ISO where no one else touched the ball. Clank. Another possession, he ISOed Harden and got stripped in the lane. And another possession, he drove parallel to the baseline and got an offensive foul with an arm swing on Harden (semi flop).
If he gets rid of those moments, I'm all in for him being a #2. Of course he also shot 11-14 from the FT line. And that's not a norm. |
