OFFICIAL Alex The Pope Caruso Thread

We've seen him have some aggressive games in the G-League, so we know he's got the mindset in him.

Just can he get that to translate like this more often? The areas of growth I've seen from him this year are his midrange isn't an automatic miss like it used to be. He's starting to knock those down. And also he's making some more advanced reads with the ball in his hands, so tangible improvements. Game is definitely slowing down for him when he's starting to see the moving parts like that with the passing. Still some passing issues to work out, but AC is showing some growth, for sure.

Game ball to AC. Changed the intensity of the game. Kudos.

Playoff AC

When paired up with LBJ/AD his power level goes up by ten thousand. Just momentum shifting plays he creates almost every quarter.

AC is the perfect guy next to AD and Lebron.

Dude played phenomenally. Gotta respect him for the contact he gets and doesn't get called, but he still plays hard, smart basketball.

Caruso is the GoAT ... should be star

He makes all the winning kind of plays. Rarely does he make the net negative play.

The guy needs to be allowed to do what he does. You can't kill from the nest.

He saved the game. Always a fan of g-league dudes outperforming their NBA counterparts. And there are always more like him in the g-league. It just takes a good eye for talent, and the Lakers have that in spades.

The dude booked a layup off the the front of the rim on a (heavily contested) layup and then hit the side of the backboard on a corner three in the 4th Q, and was still game MVP.

I am not sure how he was able to guard Curry just good enough but he did

Pay Caruso half of what we would pay Schooder. Don't be stoopid pelinski

That Caruso-AD defensive coverage down the stretch. Wow, man. God I love these guys. Whether we win a title or not, you can see why guys like Caruso won a ring last year.

Considering the importance of the game, just major props to Caruso.

Caruso was a difference maker tonight.

Hopefully, he can stay healthy. He has missed a bunch of games this year with multiple nagging injuries.

(bleep) phenomenal tonight on both ends. He did about as good a job against Curry as you can
