    yeah, it's not an important point, but i still think he did it on purpose. still a fantastic play and evidence of a great rim-attacking mentality. make the officials call that--most won't dare. they like the dunkz, too.

    Caruso's flush was so shocking and unexpected, the refs totally missed that interference (intentional or not)... He better beware 'cos notoriety brings all manner of things. :)

    Why isn't he starting? Serious question.

    The atom bomb was only used as a last resort.

    Because Avery Bradley brings in much needed defensive intensity that is contagious.

    1)Cause he isn't a name nor Bron or AD friend .
    2) Bradley can't handle/dribble the ball so he can't run the 2nd unit at all
    3) Caruso still should close games out over Bradley though

    That being said Vogel is starting to get it as he played him more than Cook against the Mavs.

    (Bradley as a starter is wearing the opponent ballhandler down with his on ball pressure though) .

    PS : As long as Rondo is day to day for the season , we'll be fine .

    1. I think that's the reason.
    2. But Rondo can and should.
    3. Yep.

    Maybe we should consider load management not for his health but for the competitive balance of the NBA.

    The Bald Eagle might even START on Tuesday if Bradley can't go....

    Love his intensity on defense - gotta get more of that for sure going forward

    Please do not compare Rondo and Caruso - Caruso is clearly the better player for this team and it's not even close.

    Please read carefully

    Also see relation to Bron’s health heading into May....if that matters to you.

    They just asked Vogel about Caruso in his after game interview for the press and immediately he got this big smile and gushed about him.

    he bothered lavine, which nobody else seemed interested in doing. got himself in the right spots defensively as usual. just lots of little things. he still seems hesitant on offense, but maybe that's just how he's going to be. definitely don't win this one without him.
