Ok...I've bought into Caruso being the secondary ball handler. Full stop.

And AD only has 2 points. He might've had too many margaritas last night.

If the same play happened and the players were reversed (Powell smacked LeBron) it would still be Powell getting the foul. That's why star players getting the call is bs in the nba

The Pelicans have no intent on making the playoffs and never did. What a farce.

Despite all the memes. Caruso's instincts are really good and he's a crafty athletic player. He definitely has the chops to bring the ball up and make plays

Waiters was a slept on pickup. Although him and Kuz basically fight over who will shoot, they play well together.

Somebody probably told him to shave his uni-brow before the game and now his confidence is shot.

After that Dwight block, did Tor just take the 5 second call?!?! I assume they thought taking the shot was far more risky.

OG flopped earlier. Offensive foul on Lebron. Come on man.

They're hyping OG up too much. He's done this before where he shows something and then disappears. He needs to be consistent before getting this praise.

What's this new "hostile act" junk they're pushing?

The refs said the same thing when they decided to let Giannis play with 6 fouls last night.

"Oh punching me in the balls and slapping my face is NOT a hostile act and thus, it's all good!"

These bubbleboy refs are garbage and they seem incapable of being consistent on charges/blocking fouls.

Yeah they did. There wasn't enough time on the shot clock to get a shot off. Might as well set up your defense instead of letting the Lakers get out in transition.

Him, Kuz, and Caruso are an underrated bench mob. 31 bench points tonight.
