FYI, you can get your Android phone to submit votes for you everyday by just saying, "Hey Google. Vote for the NBA All-Star Game". I think you can probably get an iPhone to do it too as long as you have the Google Assistant app downloaded to it.

The Bald eagle soared again!
Caruso balled out tonight! He brought energy on both sides of the ball.

Lakers’ LeBron James on Alex Caruso: “Every time he’s in the game, he’s a plus guy. He can do so much. He can defend at a high level. He’s very smart. He’s very tough. To have him on this ball club is a luxury.”

He doesn't shoot them at enough volume to know if it's a trend or not, but him hitting that midrange pull-up at a higher clip as he has the past 2-3 games would really help him and the team.

Caruso seems to be the one who guards SFs instead of Pope.

If they sign an Iguodala, Caruso's minutes will all but vanish.

Question: Who's better, mlre impactful, Iguodala or Caruso?

Iguodala

agreed not even close. Only advantage Iggy has is he can play the wing position.

Thank you for posting this story. It brings me joy to see people make their dreams come true.

Quote:
“It’s cool," Caruso said. “I obviously don’t want to take any attention away from guys who have been playing great this year, but it’s nice to know that the fans appreciate me. Mutual respect.

Caruso rose to a viral kind of stardom in Los Angeles, but his professional basketball career began in Oklahoma City.

Caruso went undrafted out of Texas A&M, and he was expecting to go overseas to play. But then the Thunder extended an invitation to training camp.

“I felt like when he was here, he was really close to being an NBA player,” Thunder coach Billy Donovan said. “I really felt that way. I could tell coaching against him in college, there’s certain guys that you worry about as a coach because you know that they can impact winning. He’s a guy that impacts winning because he’ll do whatever.”

ugh i meant to say DISAGREED
what Iggy can bring to the table now is soooo overrated in my book. People act like he was playing like some premier 3 and D wing last year and that wasnt nearly the case. He lost several steps. People thinking he can walk in here off the street at age 36 (!!) and be some Kawhi stopper for us will be severely disappointed. And then he is a big liability on offense as a wing who cant shoot (his ability to play make a bit is not nearly enough to save this deficiency).

Hopefully we get a chance to see if you're right and I'm wrong when they're both playing together in Lakers jersies.

He’s definitely lost a step or two the past couple seasons but he still finds ways to level up during the playoffs. I can see a lot of fast break plays with the defense he would bring especially playing alongside Alex and AD.

Can he lock Kawhi? Obviously no , as nobody can but he sure would help a lot in our team defensive scheme. Which is the most important factor if we can acquire him somehow.

Hard to tell cuz out of sight out of mind in terms of play.
But he was decent in last years playoffs.
But who knows, some guys just age over a summer.
Hi Luol. :shrug:

Hopefully if he comes to the Lakers then he'll get good.
If he doesn't come to the Lakers, hopefully he sucks

Good to see. I appreciate how DH plays in tandem with AC on defense.

And yes - get well soon AC.
