Must win.

Still no news about Ingram. Our guys sure do take a long time getting back from injuries it seems.

Pregame show said he's been feeling good after his workouts, no groin soreness. But he still needs to get cleared for contact practice, then go through practice without pain afterwards. We don't have a game until Thursday so there's plenty of time. And if not then I'd assume he's good by Saturday.

I'm all for him getting rest though. He's proven himself already this season and I don't wanna run down his body anyways. He was at his physical peak for the season in December IMO, as far as hustle on defense and explosiveness towards the basket.

I foresee Ingram taking a gigantic Antetokounpo-esque step in athleticism and strength this summer. Don't get me wrong though, he'll never be the same freak athlete, but Ingram is more skilled and will be a baaad man too...

Lonzo has 5 assists already. Lol.

Doesn't even seem like we were ever the worst 3pt shooting team.

I think I would hate watching Lance Stephenson play basketball for 82 games.

I wonder how he hasn't been run out of town by the Pacers fanbase. And what's even more weird, based on the reaction when he came into the game, they must like him. :crazy:

We're fun when we play how we should play.

Yeah. Losing Nance and Clarkson and replacing them with Isaiah and a bigger role for Brook Lopez and Kuzma has really helped the 3PT shooting.

Good lord. I don't think I've ever seen a rookie with that sweeping hook on the move before. That shot is ridiculously difficult.

Kuzma has veteran shot selection

And the shots are falling ... it's frustrating how we can often careen from entertaining to maddening often on a quarter-by-quarter basis.

And it's a natural shot for him. His touch on floaters and runners is fantastic.

bull call on Zubac. What’s he suppose to do.

Sushisensei26 · Post #15 » by **Sushisensei26** » Mon Mar 19, 2018 11:47 pm

And just like that...... it’s down to 4pts

Good no call on the flop

Isaiah's inability to consistently take advantage of his ability to get into the mid range is maddening.

Our front court is killing it this game

He doesn't take nearly as many mid-range jumpers as he should. I didn't watch him on an every game basis in Boston, but wasn't that one of his specialties?

Interestingly, although he shot fantastic (roughly 50 pct), he only had 116 makes from 10 feet to the 3-point line. His big strength was finishing around the rim and drawing a ton of FTs. That mid-range stuff is one of the areas where his lack of size really materializes, IMO. A big guard could simply rise up for a shot once he gets the corner on his defender, whereas Isaiah doesn't have the size and by the time his man recovers it's gone. More than anything, he just seems really out of rhythm to me. He gets into that spot almost at will, but he just hasn't been able to consistently capitalize on it.
