3. Brandon Ingram let a lot of people down last night!

Welcome to the cusp of stardom Brandon Ingram! Now say goodbye for a couple of weeks. Brandon Ingram was dead wrong from beginning to end last night. I’m not showing any video of this in this piece. But let me tell everyone something…

James Harden did nothing wrong. He has been doing that shoulder move since the Thunder days. If anything, Ingram was lucky it wasn’t an “and one” on the play because of the continuation.

Ingram is a skinny dude that will be targeted. PERIOD! I know of what I speak! I have played basketball for years and that is what bigger players do to skinny players. They try it and I know how to deal with it. Ingram next phase of growth will be learning how to deal with the physicality of bigger players. Remember, the Lakers want him to play the four positions at times this season.

The push on Harden was bad but not as ridiculous as getting into the face of the referee and putting a finger in his face (No Chris Paul was not first in doing this!). But what Ingram did last may easily get him suspended six to ten games!

He ran up and punched Chris Paul with a closed fist! Can’t do that!

Lakers fans need to realize that Ingram is the second best player on the team! No question. Now he will be out for a decent amount of games which hurts the team immensely. He will lose his rhythm and trust me, the rest of the NBA teams will take notice and will FIND ways to get under his skin in crunch time of big games.

Again Lake Show Life will be efforting an in-depth piece breaking down the fight and the potential effects of not only the next couple of weeks but the season going forward. Oh, by the way, the San Antonio Spurs are next, think the Lakers could use him?
