He elevated his game yet another notch this year. What a star he’s become. If only his other star wasn’t a my 600 lb life candidate.

Ingram sat out multiple weeks after being cleared because he didn’t feel right. We were 1 game away from the 6 seed.

Love BI but he was part of the problem this year. Missing over 30 games when you can play isn’t going to cut it.

BI sat out, while CJ manned the frick up and put off thumb surgery until after the season.

We have one alpha on this team.

While this is true, he played at an MVP level when he finally got right post ASB. It took too long.

And he was fouled on that last shot.

Playmaking was way up. His assists and ability to get the ball to the player at the right time.

His drives to the basket; taking contact and powering through to score.

His shot selection and aggressiveness to score.

His desire to be more available on defense.

His calm leadership style. Having the youngins' count on his game.

He is an all star caliber forward. Period.

I used to swim in college, when I finally had to have shoulder surgery, doc said my shoulder fell out of socket when I was put to sleep. He Told my mom that I knew the definition of pain. I had been going to PT for 10 years to keep playing. These dudes are sitting on their arse for sore muscles and bruised toes for months… they get away with it because the owners are too chicken shite to discipline the players. No other job could you refuse to work without consequences because you just don’t feel like it

He played at an mvp level against half teams. This is what happened against the full strength teams that the Pels played in their last 15 games. He was embarrassed by the Lakers at home, lost to the Rockets in a must win, got embarrassed by the Kings again at home, got outplayed by Edwards down the stretch in an absolute must win, and was outplayed by SGA tonight, including an absolutely crucial missed ft. More of the same.

I would agree. CJ is a lead dog. Zion and BI are not. I was hoping CJ could teach them. Unfortunately, I think BI is just too high most of the time and Zion is fricking lazy. Maybe some of the alpha will rub off on Trey and Herb.

Geez BI is completely taken for granted on this board. He’s the best SF we’ve had in NO history but it’s never good enough. He carried the team into the play in but he’s being put in the same boat of Zion for some reason.

I absolutely tip my cap off to him. We wouldn't even have had a chance to play in the playing if it wasn't for Ingram.

The next step in the evolution of BI is he needs to take more threes. Dudes a career 38% three point shooter as a Pel, and has been around 39% every year but last. He can really shoot it, but he took just 3.6 a game. That number needs to double next year. The best wings in the NBA take 7-9 a game.

this is all on Willy. Once again the O sucked in the final minutes and everyone stood around.

BI played hard, he's not the problem on this team.

Herb and Trey have been critical pieces of BI’s improvement, specifically on the defensive end.

average 24.7 points
shoot 88.2% from the FT line
average 5.8 assists
shoot 39% from 3
attempt 6 FT's a game
all career highs

If you dont' think BI was better this year, you might be a dummy.

BI is no where near the problem.
He can be the 1b, or the 2nd best player on a contender. CJ has to be the 3rd guy on a contender. We need ole fat arse to get back on the court and play like the 1 or 1a we need to be contender.

I know that he took more 3s in the games he played with Zion. Zion's play opens up space for catch-and-shoot 3s for BI. BI is still not a great pullup shooter from 3 -- much better on catch-and-shoot from that range.
