Cavs win by 15.
You can praise Cedi and preach patience for his development as an offensive player/shooter without blaming the work that still needs to go into his shot on the coaches.
And it’s the other team that puts Cedi in the position to shoot the wide open three by sagging off him. He has to either:
A: make the shots
B: drive and kick/shoot
C: find someone else with a pass
Nope. He didn't have to stand at the top of the 3pt line. They trapped James and left Cedi wide open because we gave them that opportunity by using Osman as an On Ball screen setter/Roll Man. They wisely took their chances on Cedi after being embarrased by James on similar actions. If Love set the screens they wouldn't have doubled James.
You put your worst 3pt shooters in the Corners and you attack the side with the strongest shooters.
You don't want to do that? sub in one of the best shooters in the history of the game.
Coaching Rich.
He played 33 minutes after not playing at all for I don't know how long.
Lue is a better coach with less talent. He doesn't know how to maximize a full roster.Lue's coaching this year is even more frustrating than last year because this year we obviously have the depth and the options but we're just not using them.
My gripe is with that right there. Screw the "next man up" and "always stay ready" routine. How does a guy not see the floor and is then asked to play 33 minutes including like 20 straight?
Against Philly.
Nobody on this team knows any semblance of a regular rotation and nobody has a clue about how many minutes they're going to play on any given night.
Have to think that as a player, that must be difficult for game preparation.
Really?? I get the overreaction. But Frye was slow as fukk and couldn't keep up with the speed of Philly. Jefferson's jumper was broke.
