NBA - Main

Good content. Also upvoted for the Trigun, Vash the Sampede reference.

If the Bulls trade Caruso to a contender at the deadline it's going to be like when the Celtics got Derrick White. No one will talk about it because they are focused on bigger names but it'll be the most impactful trade made that day.

Fucking bullshit

Imagine if you are a team with LeBron James and you know he really thrives when he has elite high BBIQ role players to take some of the defensive load off of him.

That Vash the Stampede comparison was hard a f

Brad go get Caruso so JB and JT know how to operate under pressure and when it comes down to crunch time. Cmon!

Alex Caruso has always been a champion defensive player. He is always hustling and guarding the opponent's best player without complaining. He does all the little things for the team. He's a big reason why the Lakers won in 2020.

Cool video and analysis. He’s an underrated player, Lakers messed up letting him go

Get AC out of this poverty ass team. My GOAT doesn't deserve this 😭

And he was killing it on offense too. I saw him hit 3 3s in a row.

I miss him

I fucking love this man. Caruso is so fun to watch. Awesome breakdown!

Also I love how r/nba now has an uptick in defensive highlights, let's keep this going! Defense is satisfying AF to watch

Caruso is a fucking beast, every team would love to have him and I respect his defensive IQ and hustle. But I'm not gonna pretend that he wasn't fouling and reaching in like crazy all game last night especially on KD. The refs just did not care one bit... it was wild. Bro should have fouled out like 3 times over if they were calling them. 🤣 But hey, if he was on my team getting away with it I'd be loving it.

I just find it wild how KD is one of the biggest superstars in NBA history yet his skinny ass he gets the whistle of a 2nd year role player. Yet big ass bear-human hybrids like Embiid and Giannis get soft ass whistles. I don't get it.

Cp3 used to also defend KD really well. He struggles against fast hands.

I knew how good Caruso was defensively when him and Lonzo terrorized perimeter players for a month prior to Lonzo going down. It was beautiful to see, there was a analysis videos done on it before. They would've literally made a two headed monster on defense. What could've been

I just dont know why the Lakers let go of this guy.

That's my future 76er right there. Get it AC!

I will never forgive the Lakers for not resigning this dude.

Whyyyy did the Lakers let him leave??? Whyyyyy??!😭😭

This Caruso guy looks good. The Lakers could use someone like him.

still can't believe the lakers let him go. he is such a good fit for lebron

He got that hamster in him.

Lakers legend Alex Caruso

He did the same thing to Luka when they played the Mavs. Luka still did decent because he's just that good at passing out of intense defensive pressure, but Caruso was absolutely hounding him at times. The Bulls also didn't utilize him as consistently and were switching him off Luka too easily, which kind of surprised me.

Him putting his body into player’s space to not allow them to move how they want reminds me of a quote about Jrue Holiday

Someone a couple years ago said Jrue was the hardest defender to play against in be league because he had this technique where as you’re driving by him, he’s always pressing really hard down on your hip so that you can’t properly move

Nah Caruso just wanted it more

jk

That was really good. I miss him so much.

I like r/nba posts like this. Not the usual Trae Young would be the next Stephen Curry or Devin Booker would be Kobe Bryant's successor.

He was just banging and banging and banging. When a guy's banging you...

I would give my left nut to have Caruso on the Bucks

Austin Reaves has the same height and weight as him, how come Reaves gets hunted on defense all the time while Caruso could defend so well?

A lot of people using the term savant lately. I don't think it means what they think it means.

THATS WHY HES THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE GOAAAAATTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
