Alex Caruso starting Game 6 tonight.

Wow, that's gonna change things up a bit. Could be a big night for Caruso.
Lol, Caruso legit sucks. Wanamaker-tier player. Averaging a whopping 7/2/2 in 23MPG.

I don't think Caruso or Wanamaker suck.  Granted not starting caliber, but he plays very well with Lebron it seems.  Very pesty.

Yeah, both of those guys are solid bench players, but definitely not starting caliber, and certainly not quality starters for a contending team. It looks like a panic type of move for the Lakers , which is odd for a heavily favored team who has always been ahead in the series.

Heat players have to start finishing at the basket instead of trying to dump the ball off to Adebayo every time. The Lakers are just waiting for it.

Caruso in for Howard seems like a smart move.  No reason for Howard to be starting against the Heat other than AD's aversion to playing C.

Herro and Bam are not ready for a championship... Robinson looks legit though - improving each game

The Heat look tired out from game 5. They are half a step behind on defense and missing open looks and free throws. Their legs are tired.

Heat are toast at this point. Nothing left. They showed a lot of heart but this game feels like it’s going to be a blowout
