That was sick.
The game before he even tried the CP3 dribble.

He is playing with such confidence and energy. IF Rondo is re-integrated back into the rotation, he should not be taking any of AC's minutes.

It would be a crime to simply re-insert Rondo back in the rotation

Smart defense, well played AC.

Caruso on defense is making Pelinka look like a genius right now. Same with Kuz. It would of been nice to keep Hart for his effort and 3 point shooting, but he could have never defended Dame like Caruso can. Not many people have in the league can. And the way Kuzma defends Kawhi and CJ, Hart could have never done that. The best two defenders in the playoffs so far. The eyes say so, and the stats back it up.

If Caruso could shoot, like, at all, from anywhere, he would be the perfect role player. As is, he’s very, very good.

If he could shoot then he'd be out of our price range when free agency hits. As is I think AC is our second most valuable trade chip if we make moves this off-season.

If he improves a little more offensively, we will have our best guard of the Lebron era Lakers.

Caruso stole momentum from the Blazers last night. Fantastic defense. Steals, scoreless possessions for the Blazers when it mattered most.

Caruso's weakness is perimeter shooting but, IMO his defense, heart and hustle make up the difference.

With AC on the floor LA has a +20.2 - point differential per 100 possessions.

DEFENSE is the KEY

AC is the Kurt Rambis of guards. He leaves it all out on the court.

Does media even watch games?
Do they know anyone who doesn't at least start?
