    As a Lakers fan I still don’t know why we got rid of him, he was good at his job and fun to watch on the court.

    That’s cool, thanks. I hope there would be more analysis like this that are both interesting and helpful to really understand the game.

      It’s funny how r/nba turns on a dime as soon as a player leaves the lakers. Caruso went from overrated to defensive savant.

    Brad go get Caruso so JB and JT know how to operate under pressure and when it comes down to crunch time. Cmon!

    Alex Caruso has always been a champion defensive player. He is always hustling and guarding the opponent’s best player without complaining. He does all the little things for the team. He’s a big reason why the Lakers won in 2020.

    I fucking love this man. Caruso is so fun to watch. Awesome breakdown!

    Also I love how r/nba now has an uptick in defensive highlights, let’s keep this going! Defense is satisfying AF to watch

    Caruso is a fucking beast, every team would love to have him and I respect his defensive IQ and hustle. But I’m not gonna pretend that he wasn’t fouling and reaching in like crazy all game last night especially on KD. The refs just did not care one bit… it was wild. Bro should have fouled out like 3 times over if they were calling them. 🤣 But hey, if he was on my team getting away with it I’d be loving it.

    I just find it wild how KD is one of the biggest superstars in NBA history yet his skinny ass he gets the whistle of a 2nd year role player. Yet big ass bear-human hybrids like Embiid and Giannis get soft ass whistles. I don’t get it.

      He did the same thing in the Raptors game. Sitting at 5 fouls and probably had at least 5 more uncalled fouls past it. He’s a great defender but only because the refs don’t do their job
