The photo of him dribbling down the court with Jokic back on his knees in the background will forever live on in my phone screen background

Absolutely. Caruso guarding Jokic was what turned that series around. Crazy how much impact he has without taking a ton of shots or being a great creator.

Wont be lost on anyone who saw thunder games. Caruso was massive vs indiana, denver and was very good vs memphis and wolves.

Absolute S tier defense with 40% shooting on decent volume, strong cutter, good decision maker with the ball and 100% fearless and relentless.

Dude doesnt shy from the moment and seems to go up a level too

Wasting a few years of him in Chicago was a shame

It’s not lost to history at all. He was amazing.

We genuinely would not have won the chip last year without him.

His hands were all over that playoff run.

Dude was floating around screens.

He was a pretty significant factor to the Lakers winning the finals.

Yes Ive hated him ever since

your whole bench line up that’s for sure

Hopefully he doesn’t deck Fox into the scorers table

Reddit sure loves hyperboles

Not really. AD was injured in 2021. LeBron tore his MCL last postseason. 2022 they didn’t even make the playoffs. Caruso wasn’t gonna help them beat the Nuggets in 2023-2024. And this postseason nothing you can do with Luka out.

Relax. He’s just Corey Brewer

Hart trade led to a title if I’m not mistaken so that ain’t too bad

how? Hart was traded for AD

Hart over AD? Are you fucking brain damaged?

No they couldn’t Hart was getting traded no matter what

Maybe Hart over Kuz? But that’s hindsight, Kuz was looking like he was gonna be at least a decent 3rd option before he got exposed as a 6’8 Nick Young.

What are you talking about?

Presti gets Caruso and then takes Isaiah Joe and McCain from the Sixers.

They also gave zubac up for nothing lol. Just a string of very poor asset management

Even if not brook lopez, if they kept zubac then AD can play as PF and reduce his injury risk

I know it’s not a Mavericks flair talking

Have you heard dodgers FO? Thats what they get next year

Which is so dumb.

He plays almost identically there, Chicago and here.

He’s knows himself. He can either dive on the ground and shoot 60% from 3., or he can coast. One of them gets your hurt, so why waste it in the regular season

He knows he can fully coast in this okc team. He will havr some games or moments where he will turn up. But it really feels dude is just waiting for the playoffs to start

An active professional basketball player playing pickup kinda feels like smurfing anyway.

Dude singlehandedly lost us the Christmas Day game against the Spurs. It was abysmal. Pretty sure he was 0-9 from 3. Would’ve been 0-10 but his foot was on the line on one.

Caruso is a 16 game player hes like that, he does it in the playoffs

Playoff riser baby

The Spurs are just refusing to respect him as a shooter and he is continuing to make them pay

Tatum nickname revoked

The best playoff riser

Never don’t the Caruso

They will have nightmares for years

Spurs own doing leaving him wide open

People don’t think clearly when they are filled with hate.

They are better off without him

Not the Spurs apparently

He is one of, if not, the best 3P shooter in the Playoffs in the last two years.

25-26: 47.4% on 5.2 3PA 24-25: 41.1 on 3.9 3PA

To say he has “average” offensive skills is just flat out wrong. He is an elite 3&D guy, with elit secondary playmaking and ball handling.

What I like is him doing things that are not shown in the box score not just scoring. If you watch the game, his impact is impressive.

No, they’re saying to make him beat you by having to take 30+ shots not a cushy 17

Supreme Court needs to break up this team for the good of the league.

Because he really wasn’t good in the Lakers series, and was bad for most of game 1 here too

Boston tried this against curry in the finals. They were tired of losing 4 v 3 against the warriors and decided to change up their strategy on steph and started using drop coverage instead of blitzing and trapping him with a double team and Curry dropped 43 on them.

However, with Wemby the spurs can actually take away sga’s mid range game while protecting the rim at the same time because he is so fucking tall, so I think if there’s one team that can afford to make sga beat them it’s the spurs.

Game 1 Shai always like that after long breaks

It must be hard to exist on Reddit and require the /s to get the jokes.
