[Soar]

Jeremy Lamb is still in the league?

I really don't like Prince getting minutes outside of garbage time. What's the point?

 

[Soar]

Osman looked worse than me after 7 beers and a 3 shots of tequila.

 

[RchfldCavRaised]

I go to check the box score to see who is being credited with some of these TOs because the FSN feed, twice now, has been watching a replay while the play is going on.

So I go and look at there I see that Osman has 0 TOs. So somehow they're saying the McGee pass that went straight through Osman's chest was a TO on McGee??What?!?

So now I know I can't really trust the boxscore numbers when it comes TOs.

You cannot

I'll break down what I remember

Garland stripped
Allen stripped
Garland leaving feet to pass with no lane for Allen, stolen
Okoro stripped on left wing
Sexton stripped
Okoro didnt catch pass, stolen
Osman bad pass

Is what I recall

Might have missed one

 

[OptimusPrime]

I would be happy to never see Prince play for the Cavs again.

 

[Rich]

Come on JBB you can clearly see Osman has lost it right now and is playing entirely out of control and selfishly. You have to take him out.

 

[OptimusPrime]

And what the fuck is Osman doing using the entire shot clock only to turn it over?

 

[Rich]

I really don't like Prince getting minutes outside of garbage time. What's the point?

I haven't disliked a player this much on the Cavs in a while. This is like Antawn Jamison after LeBron left levels of dislike.

He is DOGSHIT on defense. If he misses his first two 3s of the game, sit him.

 

[daddywags]

Osman should never dribble. He could fit in as a pure catch and shoot wing.

 

[Soar]

I feel like if Osman worked as a stock boy, he would break about 80 percent of the inventory, freak out and set the whole building on fire.

 

[RchfldCavRaised]

The problem I have with JBB in-game nightly is the same problem that used to frustrate me about Mike Brown

When the other coach makes an adjustment to take away what your offense is doing, you make offensive adjustments. I dont think JBB is capable, all I see is defensive adjustments and a call for more effort. Tactically, I see no offensive adjustment to gain advantage over a defense.

A basic offensive adjustment after Bjorken turned up the pressure with a smaller unit and McConnell playing kamikazee was to switch the offense from high pick and roll to something with bodies moving with a purpose and passes, not dribbling, to either a: run their defense tired very quickly OR b: take advantage of their over aggressive half court pressure.

 

[daddywags]

Getting some good ball movement now.

 

[red.]

Sexton with the up and under.

 

[ryanf]

Sexton being a better point guard than garland at this point

 

[Soar]

I honesty... I hate Cedi.

Everything about his game.

I cannot deal with him.
