I don’t know about you, but I personally don’t view Cedi Osman as the type of player who is so good that he should be sitting out the last quarter (or more) of a total blowout. He exited the game with 4 minutes left in the third and the Cavaliers down by 23 (they would’ve been down by more than 40 if not for him, just saying) and never got to come back in, leaving him stuck at 21 points.
He was hot enough from three that if you put him in the fourth quarter, who knows what would happen? Probably winning was still out of the question, but why not at least try and see if Osman can hit 10 threes in the final quarter? This is why the Cavaliers keep losing games. Because they’re too SCARED to try and win them.
His career high is 29, so even that was well within reach if he just got a few more minutes of playing time. I was watching the boxscore updates intently on this one, but his 21 just stayed the same while the point totals of scrubs went higher and higher. Who even is Dean Wade? Sounds like Dwyane Wade’s inferior brother who is white.
