Cedi Osman Goodbye & Good Luck

[buzzdog]

Cedi will be Cedi. You get some good, some bad, and some ugly with him. Sometimes the ratio changes one way or the other. I'm glad we had him last night.

Some nights he’s Kobe Bryant and other nights he’s Mark Bryant.

One thing is for sure, the guy’s confidence is through the roof. He’s had a heckuva turnaround from last year and has made himself into a valuable contributor and one of our best shooters.

With the hair band sometimes he looks like Anita Bryant.

More like some nights he's Kobe Bryant and other nights he's Kobe Bryant.

If you’re a full figured woman with great taste and a passion for fashion, shop at LANE Bryant.

I know a guy that was high up in their finance department. They actually have two clienteles - big chicks and cross dressers. There were enough of the latter where it was tracked and affected some product decisions.

He must have been playing against the stupidest team of all time. You'd think after he blocked 5 or 6 shots they'd stop challenging him. You'd think after he blocked 10 they'd stay out of the lane entirely. Who the hell was coaching that team? Jack Ramsey?

I saw the Cavaliers at the Coliseum block 21 shots. Nance had 11.

They played the Knicks.

The Big E is the guy in my profile pic. He once blocked 17 shots in a game.

That is absolutely insane.

Well, we know which one @The Oi is.

Depending on your definitions, I’m both now that the hormone treatments are kicking in!

Interesting to hear Cedi on the postgame interview say that he knew he had been
playing bad for a couple of games so he went and talked to JBB about what
he needed to be doing.

Chones afterward commented that JBB has a true open door for players
to talk with him . Chones said JBB is very straight and honest in
these discussions and will let players know exactly what he expects
of them and how they can best contribute to team success.

I like no pouting and no excuses.

What gets to me about cedi is the wild plays where he recklessly barrels into defenders are the rim. IMO what would help him tremendously, is if he can use the floater or a stop and pop.

It's good that he can initiate sometimes though.

I do too, and also like any player who will go to a coach and ask “what more can I do?” or “what can I do to improve?” As well as a coach who creates an environment where those questions are encouraged.

That’s definitely everyone’s biggest complaint. You think nobody has ever talked to him about this? Because I wonder why he keeps doing it.

The only thing I can think of is if he thinks recklessly barreling into defenders at the rim full steam like a bull in a china shop is what “attack and be aggressive” means.
