This guy plays so hard, I absolutely love it. His defensive leadership is exactly what this team needs.
agree that that play really shifted the effort/focus. this dude with a bad back is out there diving on the floor and making a pretty wizardly hustle play down double digits in a sleepy road arena...you can't miss your box out assignment now. caruso stuff.
His effort, tone setting leadership and tide shifting plays is everything advertised when he was vital to a contending organization. His playmaking and shot ability as a 2nd or even 3rd ball handler really gives lineups stability (when we're healthy-ish). Sure there's a roller coaster frustrating play or two a game, but I'm willing to embrace those with welcome arms for all the good he brings to the table.
