I love how the AC Hype Train keeps running around the World as if he’s some type of joke.
Meanwhile Alex is in the gym lifting dumbbells with Lebron and AD plotting on the next victims they are going to abuse on the defensive end 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈 |

That Matt Moore dude is a (bleep) psycho when it comes to anything Lakers related.

| (bleep) the Pelicans bloggers. They were hating on our kids, now they love them. They were hating on Kuz because he wasn’t the one traded. Now they are focusing on Caruso and Bleacher Report. They’re basically saying ratings are down because of Caruso. They don’t realize that larger market teams with a 50 year history of winning will get more attention then some small market swamp with no history of winning. |

Based on this season, he deserves them way more than Kuz.
Caruso and Dwight = impact bench players.
Kuzma, Rondo = once in a while impact bench players.
#1 reason our bench has not been very good is that Kuzma and Rondo have not been what they need to be on a consistent basis, IMO. It is as simple as that.

Prefer guys like Caruso actually playing in the game. Maybe having motivated competitive end of the bench players is a way to make the game watchable.
Where is the “load management” crowd when you need them. Elite players (specifically James and Davis) should take the time off to heal and rest their bodies instead of wasting the time and effort of the ASG
Championship or Bust! |

It's apples and oranges because Kuz is frontcourt and Caruso is backcourt.
The voting tells you nothing about what people think of Kuz vs. Caruso.
Kuz is competing for Lakers fans votes against Lebron, AD and Dwight.
Caruso is competing for Lakers fans votes against KCP, Green, and Rondo. |

Sorry I am not smart enough to get an exact URL but ESPN is showing a highlight reel of Caruso and they are insinuating that Rihanna and Caruso are dating. Title is "Best of Alex Caruso".

Fan voting is 50%; players 25% and media 25%.
If he stays 6th in the fan vote, he'll probably end up about 10-12th after the media and players are added in. |

I haven't watched an all-star game in decade.
However, making the all-star team is a honor that is really separate from the game itself.
It's like what they say about the NFL Pro Bowl: Everyone wants to be on the team, but no one wants to play in the game. |
If you don't watch why do you even care.
It's all star meaning star meaning what people want to see. If they want to see alex caruso, which based on the votes they do, then he is a star and he should be on the all star team.
Your comment and the other comment about you being glad viewer votes dont count for much make no sense to me. At the end of the day it's entertainment for people to watch. If people say they want to watch alex caruso then that's who we should be seeing at the game. And then also that's the honor that he earned. |
I've not in favor of a fans of a particular team stuffing the ballot box. The NBA agrees, which is why they added the media and players vote. This eliminates embarrassments like AC Green being voted in over Karl Malone. |

This is such a joke. Caruso brings the effort and energy, but is shooting just 43.2 percent and 32.3 percent from downtown. He isn't playing anywhere close to the level he did late last season.
The Alex Caruso hype machine is almost starting to remind me of the Sasha Vujacic hype machine (although Caruso is obviously a better player than Sasha ever was).

AC Green could balance a Beanie Baby on his head.
Never saw that from the Mailman
