    I think if we replace Westbrook for Caruso only, we have at least 10 more wins


    One of the worst combo of decisions in sports history

    does caruso not know he could just let him go by and then angrily point at a teammate?

    Caruso said recently that Grayson Allen never reach out to him after the dirty play where he was injured. Guy is such a punk.

    Westbrook for Caruso...I cannot believe the most brilliant basketball mind, the SaVaNt with a PhOtOgRaPhIc MeMoRy thought this was a good idea.

    "I knew when I saw Westbrook crawling out of his crib at 13 months old, he was going to be a great player. That's why I told management to go get him."

    I think Westbrook has found it more difficult to adapt to a non ball handling role than he ever thought possible. It has exposed his limits as a player, but his absolute non engagement on defense or any attempt at it has been nothing short of embarrassing.

    This really showcases how a player who is a really good fit and a glue guy can be so much more valuable in the right circumstances. Caruso doesn't need the ball, excels at the little stuff that doesn't show up in the box score, people love to play with him, he's selfless, makes the right play, plays hard on defense....what's not to like?

    With Westbrook, we're almost faced with the opposite reaction. What's to like? He's made it tough for sure.

    If I post praises Caruso, I will Like. If a post ridicules Westbrick, I will Like. When a post does both?

    Oh WOW the Eagle is back and looking awesome as ever. Reaves should study his stance and movements. Still a cut above Austin in that regard.

    well, part of that is just athleticism. caruso is much more athletic than people think. seems like years into this, fans and media still can't get past the baldness/whitness/unusual build. but AC can move, both laterally and in a straight line.

    reaves is bigger, a better scorer from most places (he'll catch up in terms of three point shooting), and a much better passer/playmaker. AC is the better athlete, isolation defender, and ballhawk.

    just really wish we had both.

    Clean strip, Lopez offensive foul contributed to Vuc elbow grazing Grayson.

    Letting Caruso go is the second biggest mistake this front office has made.
