Alex Caruso is such a good guy ngl. Build a homeless shelter, animal rescue center and an orphanage with all them bricks. Truly one of the jolly fellows of all time
He built the Empire State Building in the first half
Lunch pail, introduce him to my daughter fellow type
It’s always nice to see a child film star grow up and have a decent career.
Dont forget his “physical” defenses too. Very inspiring!
the best part is when he bitches to the refs when his fouls are correctly called against him
Man I used to say I couldn’t blame him for the refs and was still a Caruso fan. But there have been so many plays in these spurs games where he throws a bitch fit after getting whistled, and then the replay shows a clear foul. Shit is so annoying and makes him very unlikable
Fuck that dirty bald fuck
It changes when you have every call go your way. Most people in the league I don’t mind complaining to the refs because the refs are crooked and suck bad. But when the refs are crooked in your favor so consistently and you have the gall to the bite the hand that feeds? Cmon man
Selfish until it goes your way
Lmao them Thunder fans glazing him for his “honest” defense to Jokic last time
Alex “Chop Chop” Caruso
Him and Dort genuinely were horrendous and yet they were shooting like they were steph curry lol 😂
Dort has been horrendous all season
Got that bad karma from trynna injure everyone
He should have considered taking shots at the hoop as opposed to other player’s knees.
I sure wish karma was a bit faster, almost like referees could produce it themselves by you know, calling a spade a spade?
It’s either that or OKC dribbles the shot clock out and takes a worse shot
The giving spirit
LA needs those houses big dawg. Come home. Sam Presti let’s work
I don’t think Pelinka can do the Jedi Mind Trick on Presti
Nah lets just let Mark Walter throw the GDP of a small country at him instead lol
We need to get Caruso to get into the tree planting business
Rob hired a team to inception that shit
LA doesnt need shit ever again
He was 1-10 from 3…disgusting either way lol
Hey don’t rob him of the credit he deserves.. he was actually 2⁄12
He was also 1⁄10 so that’s technically correct
Yeah lol I just meant at one point he was. 2⁄12 is still horrible but it looks a bit better than 1⁄10
No… no it doesnt really lol
It does if you know fractions. 10% on 10 shots vs. 16.6% on 12 shots.
Not that weird.
Only 1 shot made in 48 minutes will always look worse
? You agree with me now lol
He was so bad
Honestly no one was making shit I liked him continuing to chuck it
If you don’t shoot those WIDE open shots you are admitting you are ass he had to
It was hilarious how much the spurs gradually sagged off him more and more as he kept bricking
Yeah, Caruso and Kenny’s confidence from three despite how cold the team was was admirable
Watching him bring Wemby out to the 3 point line and try to shoot over him was, something to say the least
And he has the audacity to complain after every single one of the fouls called on him as if the refs don’t give this mf the most leeway in the world defensively.
Sophisticated tanking
Shoutout Wemby to be honest. He just ignored Caruso and then sprinted at him whenever the pass came. It’s gotta be terrifying to see a 7’5” monster running you down while you try to shoot. Any other player in league history those shots would be open, but Wemby felt like he affected them all.
I mean from any angle wide enough there is no difference between 7’0 and 7’5 or 6’8 for that matter. Dude just isn’t a good shooter with any pressure in his face. Everyone in OKCs lineup plays from the top, top-left, or top-right of the key. Most of them shoot on the left/right key. They are easy as fuck to defend if you have a smart offense and a long or athletic defensive team who force them to the sides of the court or even middle at the end of the shot clock.
My goat is a philanthropist 🥹
The brick that keeps on bricking
Caruso and Dort need to play safety in the NFL not NBA. These guys literally foul every single possession on defense.
He and JDub really understood the holiday spirit of giving.
Thunder playing 4 on 5 out there with him on the floor. Kornet is a good defender but if the Spurs are content sticking him on you as a perimeter player, something’s wrong with you
thats generally how the thunder went in the playoffs last season too. if caruso had a bad game they would lose, especially against the nuggets
Replaced Giddey who had centres on him, with Caruso who has centres on him 😂
Who tf is letting Caruso take 12 3s dawg
Changed professions to bricklayer
Certainly tried to injure people tho
Who the fuck let Caruso take 12 threes
Superteam
He was so generous
Truly feeling the Christmas cheer
They were playing him like Vando out there that just hurt to see
Okc mid as hell when they get a normal whistle
Caruso locked in jail by th Spurs guards of Castle/Harper/Fox
Diabolical 😭
Why the fuck is he taking 12 3’s a game lmaoooo
Alex cuh u blow
I was hearing that “brick hitting the bucket” sound everytime he shot lol
As he should, shooters shoot. We know he can hit those, but some nights are gonna be like this. If it can happen to Curry, it can to Caruso. Losing confidence though… that is far harder to recover from.
The season of giving
Inspiring “physical” defense!
This guy kinda sucks ngl obviously no Taylor Horton Tucker
2⁄12 from 3 is diabolical. At what point do you, as a role player stop shooting 3s when they aren’t going in? Seriously.
depending on context, if they jacking up contested 3s, bench them but if they wide open they have no choice but to shoot them.
“See, I’m a bricklayer, I kill what I eat.” - Steve Albini
Part of why the NBA needs to do something about the 3 point shot. Why the hell does the league let it still be more valuable to go 2-12 from the 3 point line instead of taking a midrange shot? Just disgusting
He’s really overrated. Okc would have won the Chip without him.
That’s not cool. There’s people actually with no house or kicked out of their apartment because they can’t pay rent on Christmas
The Bald Mamba just didn’t mamba today.
