Zones are fucking these teams up
Fundamentals are lost. These kids don't know how to play against a zone anymore.

I was glad Joker missed both
That was bullshit. The refs seem to pick and choose their rules.
When Bron ain't playing and the spotlight gets put on these other stars we get to see how mid they really are in the clutch.
Aaron Gordon is better than Jokic.
When people choke like that that shit I feel bad for. Because it's not about capabilities, it's just mental at that point.
People often say that 3&D guys are interchangeable, but if I were a NBA GM and Alex Caruso became available, I'd move heaven & earth to sign him
Some 3&D guys are interchangeable. Some change the culture of your team whenever they're in the court.
one of the top defensive players in the league. Him, Dort and Shai with his length are problems.
Not sure what Chicago was doing giving him away for someone else on an expiring deal.
They gonna get rid of Chet. Chet being wasted there with his skillset.Chet big ass reduced to a corner boy...

Ball don’t lie. And that is exactly what refs do unfortunately
Lakers had him too....smh....the niggas the Lakers have had in the past and you look at them now? Zubac, Caruso, Randle....some much needed toughness.People often say that 3&D guys are interchangeable, but if I were a NBA GM and Alex Caruso became available, I'd move heaven & earth to sign him

I mean they trained to shoot to break the zone. Jumper broke you fucked.
Exactly. He made Chicago better, just as he's done with OKC.
The Bulls fucked up on that move.
He's 36/92 from the field in the series with 21 assists TOTAL thru 4 games, while being a cone on defense. Regular season player over rated for his stats. He's getting locked up by Chet and Hartenstein.
He also was a pivotal player for the Lakers 2020 championship team. Caruso is the only Thunder player that's already been to the mountain top and he plays like it.
Agreed. It's that pressure combined with the mental.
When you overthink things, but in reality have shot thousands of free throws over the course of your lifetime (both solo and in actual gameplay).
That's not how you beat a zone. A zone is for you to shoot your way out of a game and not get inside. They're doing it to stop Shai and Jalen from penetrating.
Yep. I don't know what his free throw percentage was but i'm gonna assume it was 80 percent. Missed 0-4 in a damn ROW.
Man I forgot he had that shit on his head he been bald so long I forgot he was balding. Lakers had to have had the two oldest young niggas in the league. THT and Caruso....2 50 year old niggas playing lol.Agreed.

Funny side note for you. Me back in high school at the local church gym (they had full court basketball inside there).
One day I'm shooting 9 consecutive corner threes at lunchtime with a small number of people around.
A short time later in a tournament with a good amount of people attending I get on the court and try to shoot the Jordan over Ehlo jumper as my 1st shot attempt.
The ball proceeds to hit the BOTTOM LEFT CORNER of the backboard and bounce outta bounds.
That pressure / mental fucked with a young 15yo HFunk ...

They have a good team all the way around; they just need to run less iso ball and more movement! they would be killer then...
