This game has turned into a scrub contest. Benches empty.

Not sold on Thomas Bryant. Doesn't seem to be able to get off the ground

It looks like harden might be injured?

The gap between the G league and the NBA is massive for a big. Most bigs that are just out of the NBA talent wise end up in Europe so gauging anything off of a bigs play in the G league is really suspect.

The style of play and the competition of bigs he played against is largely responsible for his G league stats. If you watch his "highlight" videos he's wide open a lot and is bigger than most of the guys guarding him. Neither of those things will happen much at all at this level.

Got nothing against him. Paul I dislike at a genetic level however.

Oh boy... this is almost unwatchable.... but we're close to catching them.

Late in the clock shooting foul. That probably did it.

Damn refs should've gave us the home cooking advantage on that call.

Yeah... did they not get the feel good message about Ingram? He should hit the wining shot tonight. It's Hollywood for crap sake!

Seriously it was all set up for that Hollywood ending. But refs had to play the villain.

This Ingram thing is amazing. Watching his exit interview where they told him he was being called up brought a tear to my eye. Hard to believe a guy who shoots as well as he does has never been called up before. Pretty awesome story.

I'm officially a fan of Andre Ingram

Holy crap I hope Andre can finish out strong next game
