Cedi Osman Goodbye & Good Luck

[cabs]

Outside of Mitchell, Kemba and Turner there is a lot of ‘meh’ about USA’s roster... I can easily see them getting beat by Serbia or someone else

Kemba's pretty much the only guy they can rely on to create offense. Gonna be huge pressure on him at the end of games.

Cedi gaining weight is not good: he should be like a wing version of AV was in his prime. Getting out on the break, slashing, and able to move his feet on D. He's got decent size and length so he doesn't need the extra weight.

That being said unless you do something at an exceptional level (ala Tony Allen level D, Rubio like vision) it's hard to be a perimeter player in the NBA without being a drop dead shooter nowadays.

For Cavs fans maybe this game was an aberration: tougher competition and he's had to carry a big load for Turkey

Speaking of Andy, he was a monster for Brazil in their win over Greece today. 22 points and 9 boards, including the go-ahead bucket with 14 seconds left.

He is still playing
Would love to see him on cavs as 14th guy instead of the end of roster debris we are brining in now. Good older presence for young players

Yeah, that's a retirement tour all Cavs fans could get behind.

Did you watch the game Keys?

I have kids and a job. Hardly a soul in the U.S. watched the game. If you pull that bullshit on an actual Cavs game I'll take the side of the non-dickhead.

Your probably being sarcastic but i would take him on the team over the last 3-4 guys we invited to camp

I was genuinely curious cause I was not sure.
Are you insinuating that my question was rude and I was being a dick head?

You got it wrong.

It probably isn't a good idea to go straight to "you got it wrong" when someone says that your post lacked proper tact.

In a weekday game overseas when most people were either A: at work or B: waking up, yes that was uncalled for. The game ended before 7:30am on the West Coast. Hardly anyone on RCF in the States has seen this game yet. All most of us have to contribute is looking at the box score.

Your tone needs work in situations like that. This is a new era of Cavs games. People are going to catch as much as they can when the team is basically tanking. We need more tact than "you didn't watch the games."

I was actually being serious...I like taking swings on random D-Leaguers as much as the next guy, but certainly wouldn't mind giving the 15th roster spot to Andy if he wanted to play one last season. I'm sure some fan would find a reason to be upset about it, but seems like it would be a broadly popular decision.

Cedi will not be a "true" shooter, but has good physical tools and can be a useful rotational player in the NBA... Ñ

Actually I was married on the 529th anniversary of the Fall of Constantinople (which took place on May 29th). It ended about as well as it did for Constantine XI.

Bravo, sir!

A Constantine XI reference! A deep dig. Well done!

 

[Sir'Dom Pointer]

Where is that guy?

 

[Naumoski]

Turkey vs Czech republic starting now.

Mentally it will be very hard game by Cedi after USA
