Last night Windler grabbed a long rebound and started up the floor with Cedi on his left. After crossing the time line Windler saw defenders ahead and decided to give the ball to Cedi and started to give him a bounce pass, but then realized Cedi was lagging behind and had not crossed the half court line yet. Windler froze and the loose ball was stolen and converted into a bucket.
This caused relentless homer and cheerleader Austin Carr to point out that Cedi was loafing up the floor and that's what caused the turnover. You almost never hear Carr criticize a member of the Cavs, but he called out Cedi last night for dogging it.
Yes, Windler should have glanced over to make sure Cedi was with him before releasing the ball, but Windler was not exactly sprinting so it's understandable that he assumed Cedi would be there. I replayed it and sure enough, Cedi was doing his best Kevin Love imitation, jogging slowly along making no attempt to catch up to the ball or get ahead of it and possibly create an open shot for himself or somebody else.
I would have pulled his ass out right then and there and he would have never seen the court the rest of the night. Osman only played 19 minutes. He wasn't tired or winded. When you're a bench player your job is to come in with energy and play with max intensity until you're exhausted and get taken out. You're not going to play 36 minutes so no need to pace yourself or take plays off.
I'm done with this guy.
