Yes, it's another grudge match between two titans, finally held on a neutral court. Miami has already played 5 games in Vegas. Like every team in this ill-conceived "tournament," the Cavs, playing in their 5th game, likely just want Summer League to come to an end. I expect that Dion and Zeller will sit. Hope to see a lot of Dellevadova and Felix, though.

Still, some team has to win the tournament. Which bench will come through? My bet is that the D-League All-Star team will triumph in the very end.

Mini camp starts on Sunday in Vegas, although I don't know whether they have any binding commitments that day. I do think that minutes will be cut for Waiters/Zeller regardless.

"The invited players will assemble in Las Vegas on July 21, and will conduct daily training sessions July 22-24 (12:00-2:30 p.m. PDT) and close out the mini-camp with the 2013 USA Basketball Showcase, a blue-white intra-squad game on Thursday, July 25, 6 p.m. PDT at the Thomas & Mack Arena on the campus of UNLV. All USA practices will take place at UNLV’s Mendenhall Center and are closed to the general public."

Shawnelle Scott isn't walking through that door, fellas! If you are waiting for J.R. Reid to walk out of those showers and rub some Speed Stick under his arms, you are dead wrong. Scoop, is Smush Parker going to go out on that court and dribble the air put of the ball, or are YOU going out on that court? Jermaine, is Carl Thomas going to pull off his warm ups and deliver a crisp chest pass, or are YOU ready to be our 21st century Carl? Be our Carl, gentlemen! This tournament will put you in the annals of Summer League history! Fulfill your destiny!

Look, I waited behind Bruno Sundov for an Orange Julius. He had class. I'll tell you something about benchwarmers, sir. You are no Bruno Sundov.

Anytime you can reference half of these hall of famers we had on the bench, you have to do it.

Gonna have to man up....

Lloyd:

Tyler Zeller got 2 stitches on tip of left ring finger, will miss rest of summer league. He'll still compete in Olympic camp next week

 

[HelixHammer]

Wouldn't surprise me if this team plays better without Dion and Zeller. Also very excited to see Delly & Carrick take on some more responsibility if Dion and Zeller aren't playing.

Jermaine Taylor goes off. Cavs pickup the W

Im convinced that Zeller spends extra time exfoliating with the little squishy showerball immediately after everygame.

That was a sweet two point play
