I wonder if the limited minutes are messing with him.
2 poor games in a row?

Caruso with a team high +/- as usual yet gets less minutes than KCP and Rondo while they stink it up
if Caruso gets 10 more minutes while taking 10 minutes away from KCP/Rondo this would have been a win tonight

I agree, Caruso is a better player right now.

Superb game. Getting two-way minutes like this from him and Bradley will be huge in the playoffs.

It would be nice to go back to Caruso and AB as the closing backcourt, like earlier in the season. They make it very tough on the opponent.

AC played well on both ends last night. He's not a minutes freak and he doesn't mind getting his hands dirty.
He makes the most out of the time he does get. Very good team player.

Rambis was a key component, a starter. AC is way better than Adam Morrison and Mark Madsen.

Looks like AC is starting to get back his offensive game with the way he played yesterday.

And I like the way he takes charge in a fastbreak. He really master how to quickly position himself to take a charge.

Well, at least he's better than Mike Penberthy! I'll give him that. Looks like he'll have a longer career also.

And Kyle Kuzma at this rate.

AC, Kuz, AD, Bron in a lineup. I want to see if AC and Kuz not having burden but being able to create a smidge helps unlock the other. AC might drive in transition and free up Kuz.. Or Kuz might cut and open up a 2nd cut for Caruso. Both active players with similar amounts of creation and shooting.

Stud role player. Hoping his play is giving the Lakers FO some confidence that they could maybe deal one of their guards to make space for some more 3 point shooting off the bench.

I think he deserves more minutes, but I trust in Uncle Frank.

AC might be starting ahead of Bradley if this keeps up.
