Alex Caruso is already looking forward to playing in the playoffs for a second straight season.
Caruso said he is ‘addicted’ to the postseason and noted how his playoff experience changed his mindset regarding the regular season.
“Going through the playoffs, man … the playoffs are so addicting. It’s so much fun. It’s so much fun to play in the playoffs because, like, everything is intense, everything matters.
I’m not saying regular season doesn’t matter, but there’s definitely the same attention to detail, there’s not the same intensity, there’s not the same ‘do-or-die’ mentality that you get with the playoffs.
Honestly, man, like looking back now, in the regular season, these games are like … I’m like, ‘these are fun, I like playing basketball in the NBA,’ for sure, but I cannot wait to get back to the playoffs again,” Caruso said during a recent appearance on “The Long Shot” with Duncan Robinson and Davis Reid, via Silver Screen and Roll.
Caruso won the NBA championship in his first playoff appearance with the Lakers (2020).
