Sigh, what a bad loss. For all of Ingram’s flaws offensively, I feel like the team is missing his perimeter defense
Numbers rule the universe.

His defense is also getting even worse year after year.

He’s underrated defensively. Even Warriors defensive efficiency is worse this season without him there.

Should have kept D-Lo and dumped Ingram.

Careful with the standings, our lead is gone. We could end up in the 6th seed in the next 2 days.

Not really. D-Lo was out of the Lakers the moment he snitched on Nick Young. I like how he plays, but he had to go. And we had to get rid of Mozgov.

Ingram is a better all-around player.

My god is Kuz a liability on defense...Jared Dudley of all people blew past him for two layups late in the game, and drilled a critical three right in his face. I'm not sold on the idea that he's one of the key cogs for this team moving forward.
