Skipped writing this one up but watched. Young guys got a little more run. Love seeing Caruso ball out. Another career high with 23 points, 4 threes, 4 steals, 6 assists...and I think they said 6 times on the floor. Bench was one their feet after one three he buried in a defender’s face. Moe was getting bullied most of the night. Bullock was back in the mix and hitting some threes. KCP had a strong first half. Another 23-point, 16 rebound game for McGee in the 130-102 blowout.
“We cut some dead weight before the game tonight,” Luke joked about the offense playing well with LeBron shut down. |

What does Caruso have to do to get some love from you Dancing Barry!
This guy could be our best guard, certainly the most durable.
I am looking for Golden Throat to explain why he dominates, all I know is the let the Bald Eagle fly! _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Ha ha. We definitely need to get AC on contract for next year. He’s easily been the most enjoyable thing to watch these past few weeks. One of those guys who sets the tone with how you want guys playing — hustling, defending and going hard whenever they are out there. |

I gotta chime in for the bald eagle as well. He plays hard, scraps for everything he can get, and now he's starting to hit some shots at NBA speed. Good game this afternoon! |

Gosh, these games make me so angry. Why the heck did Luke not play Caruso earlier in the season? Why did we trade Zubac? Add these two into the mix from mid-season and we'd be in playoffs.
Stupidly wasted season.
It feels good to win. I need more of that. _________________ .

Why the (bleep) wasn’t Caruso playing earlier in the year when we actually wanted to win? (bleep) this crap. I hate that I’m back to being pissed everytime the Lakers win again. We blew games when we had a chance to get into the playoffs and now we are winning when tanking would help us. I give up. |

I see that Rondo, KCP, Jav (and Lance ) realized they are upcoming FAs. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I can see McGee being brought back, but that should be it. |

He's the only one I would welcome back (if the price is right) |

Which would be the vet's minimum for me. Too inconsistent and should be a backup. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

It's enjoyable to watch Caruso hustle and scuffle his way around the court causing good things to happen. I'm guessing his two-way contract put a limit on getting him consistent playing time earlier on. |
