If you're stat watching, you'll complain about his night. If you watched the game, you'll note he was key in changing the script in the first half. Just elite effort, hustle, energy and communication. Love the tone change with the Smart/Vando lineups tonight.
Lets hope he follows in the tradition of ex ******* who have left their mark here and won championships. So far so good.
One of those players where the stat sheet won't tell the full story. Hustled every play and provided the energy the Lakers needed, especially in the third. That steal on Randle and the Lakers getting a wide open dunk on the other end killed any chance of a comeback from the Wolves.
He changed the game, we looked flat, ready to quit, and he just came in with Vando and wasn’t having it. If, and it’s a big if, he can stay healthy he’s a huge pickup, he’s the type of player we have been sorely lacking for years.
Thing is, even though he didn't score much, you know he can, the opposition doesn't ignore him on defense. He is more than capable of giving us 15-25 on a given night but he knows that is not what he is here for. He is here for his elite defensive skills and that is what he in concerned with. He was awesome out there tonight, really disrupted the whole Minnesota team. Vando did pretty good too. Loved the defensive energy they brought.
Fun guy to watch. The hustle, the swag to do a wrap around no look to sorry Marcus it was Vando that was wide open lol. Finally have a guy like Caruso who isn't an a****** like Beverly
