What's the deal with 538 and why is it important. almost all the projection is a down trend. Luka and rookies that have not played a game is the only players thats gets an uptrend. |

I lost confidence in 538 after the 2016 elections. _________________ On Lakersground, a concern troll is someone who is a fan of another team, but pretends to be a Lakers fan with "concerns". |

Always been a fan of AC but if he continues to show no growth he should lose minutes. Defense is not enough anymore. Putrid shooting and 4 turnovers where multiple passes went straight out of bounds. Him and Kuzma have not showed enough growth in their games. I didn’t like that he said he didn’t work on anything specific during the short offseason, just everything. No. He needed to work on outside shooting and passing drills. |

If he continues to stink up the joint then that means those minutes will go to THT. |

I think defense was what was needed tonight. After halftime, it felt like neither team brought any intensity on defense for almost the entire 3rd. |

Good lord, are people still saying this? 538 utilizes polling in their models to make predictions. The polling, which 538 does not actually conduct, has been the culprit in the last two elections.
Ok back to basketball. |

I love Caruso, but this guy gets a huge pass after his terrible game. Other people are getting lit up on their threads. 🤔 _________________ “You have to dance beautifully in the box that you are comfortable dancing in.” - Kobe Bryant |

Yeah, his ball handling and decision making were terrible. ThT should have been the ball handler when they played together. I think Caruso should get minutes, he makes an impact, but it should only be paired with either LeBron or DS, like how he was used with Lebron or Rondo in the playoffs and Finals. _________________ Previously LBJ23 |

Agreed. Not just the Blazers, yesterday against San Antonio too. Caruso with his bb IQ, defense, and intensity is a huge part of Lakers success.
I think/hope our defense has suffered partly because of Gasol adjusting (hopefully will get better), and partly because Caruso missing.
Any doubt about Caruso, there is a reason this man started and closed game 6 NBA Finals. The intangible. The thing that what's his name (starts with K) lacks mightily. _________________ Lakers fan since that Magical day June 25, 1979. |

Yup Caruso’s value is hard to measure by the regular stats. There is a reasons why every time he plays he has a positive +-. Just last playoff he is a whopping +90 making him 3rd valuable players in my book last playoff. |

I think whoever he was around must have tested positive, though he did not. At least I hope that’s what it is. If the person tested positive then he’ll have to miss a week or more likely. |
