The buckets continue for Brandon “Brandumb Thingram” “Braindead Ingrandma” Ingram. This should be a familiar sight for Lakers fans: Ingram beasting and feasting after the All-Star break while the Lakers keep losing games. The only difference this year compared with the last two years is that there is a guy named LeBron James sulking around…

It’s that time of year again. The All-Star festivities have come and gone, and with their departure Brandon Ingram can begin his annual post-All-Star-break surge. His point totals in those past five games: 27, 29, 32, 23, and 31. Those are some nice numbers. Those are the kind of numbers you can point to and…

This is like the best timeline for DownToBuck. It’s good for two reasons: Reason one: Brandon Ingram is playing well, which means I get to watch an exciting young player go out there and get buckets while making LeBron James look like LeDefer Blames. I’ve been hard on Ingram in the past, and I still…

There is a fact here that I’m going to have to face even though I definitely don’t want to face it: Brandon Ingram has been playing pretty well lately. Stabbing pains are shooting through my entire body after writing that. I almost want to go back and delete it and tell the whole world that…

I often come away from Brandon Ingram videos feeling like he’s some kind of midrange specialist who can punish players with his smooth in-between game.

Brandon Ingram made 16 shots tonight, a career-best. His points were also a career-best, but everyone knows that it’s buckets, not raw points, that are the true measure of how good a performance is. That’s why no one actually likes James Harden (they pretend to, but the truth will be revealed when Paul George wins…

As much “potential” as Brandon Ingram has, he hasn’t yet shown the ability to dominate in a slowed-down, halfcourt offense. However, with this game, I would say that he has absolutely shown the ability to dominate in a fast-paced game where all he does is take advantage of transition opportunities. Because that’s exactly what he…

Maybe the Lakers’ broadcast does this all the time, but I found it amusing how they would constantly be cutting to LeBron on the sideline whenever Brandon Ingram (or another young player for the Lakers) would do something exciting. It’s like they’re trying to tell the viewer at home, “LeBron thinks these young players are…

I totally thought that Brandon Ingram was getting marginalized this season, but I went out to my favoritest favorite website ever, basketball-reference, to check out the stats and it turns out that his stats are pretty similar to last year’s. He’s actually averaging .2 field goal attempts per game MORE than last season, in one…
