Caruso had 10 points in 20 min of play last night with 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 steals in the Lakers 123-101 pre-season slamming of the GSSJW. +17 on +/1. Nice stat sheet stuffing.

Caruso should be playing over Rondo. Hopefully, their coaching staff eventually makes the switch!

Agreed. He did not start until the 2nd half...did not share the floor with the starters at all.

The Warriors should just relocate to San Jose to make it official.

Had a nice outing yesterday overseas: 11 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals, and a block in 22 minutes of play. But he did have 4 turnovers. More importantly he was 3-4 from 3. At this point it looks like he's the #3 PG, but we all know that Rondo tends to miss extended periods of time every season at this point in his career.

Took a "DNP - Coaches Decision" on opening night.

Good friend is a huge Lakers fan. He said Alex is not 100% right now. That could be why he didn't play. Plus not necessarily a good matchup for him.

Caruso is apparently 'day to day' due to bone contusion in pelvis. They held out Kyle Kuzma as well due to an injury issue.

Alex had an awkward fall going up for a layup in the last pre-season game. He didn't return to the game after the fall. Hopefully he can give it a go soon.

1-0 when Caruso plays. 0-1 when he doesn't. Coincidence? I think not.

I know I'm biased. But I think Caruso is a really great "glue" guy for the Lakers. The other guards know if they work their a** off like Caruso, he's coming for their minutes.

Not sure the Lakers can sustain that intensity over 81 games, but they were playing hard defensively against Utah for a NBA team in the regular season. Impressed.

And even on a night where Caruso didn't "stuff the stat sheet"... He still had a great +/-. Guys seem to really like playing with him.

I have no NBA loyalty at this point (used to be a mavs fans years ago when lived there)- so easy for me to start rooting for them. Especially this version of Lebron. He wants another ring and is working his a** off.

Howard is also playing with renewed purpose.

Eff Lebron. He hand picks his teams. I want him to lose every game he plays. He is what is wrong with sports. Plus, politically, he's a dumbass.
I know a lot about a little, and a little about a lot.

[He is what is wrong with sports. ]

He's undeniably one of the greatest of all time, a devoted father and philanthropist.

Yeah, that's totally what is wrong with sports.

His attitude is that he's better than everyone. He doesn't really show any humility.

Plus, his recent comments on Hong Kong were devoid of actual thought process.

That's great that he's a devoted father. However, what he shows in the media is mostly no bueno.

You keep moving the goalposts on why he sucks. First it was some BS about choosing teams. Then it was his lack of humility. Now it is his Hong Kong comments.
You come off as transparent and hypocritical as LBJ did with his Hong Kong/Morey comments.

Gonna sway this back to Caruso since anything else seems irrelevant.

Looking at last night's MPG against the Spurs, he got more minutes than Cook and Vogel seems to trust Caruso in the 4th quarter.

Caruso is a heady player and has a high basketball IQ which doesn't always come up in conversations.

Need to consider this:
Quote:


James, Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma and Rajon Rondo to name a few had appearances canceled. One Lakers player, sources told ESPN, had agreed to a $1 million endorsement deal with a Chinese company prior to the trip. When he arrived poof it was gone. A seven-figure payday went out the window.

So while I agree that LeBron's comments later were poorly presented and thought through, if you put yourselves in the Laker's players shoes, they were the ones who were going to China to play those exhibition games with money opportunities set up, and then the Rockets GM decides to send a tweet just a couple days before...and they lost money because of it. While Morey is just sitting back in Houston with his deleted tweet. So they were pissed. And yeah there is all the political stuff and China and Hong Kong etc. outside the world of basketball, but for them at the time it was probably mostly a 'So Morey tweeted that and I lost a million bucks because of it?' kind of reaction.
