I will try to embed when it starts.

As for the game...

I'd like to see continued improvement from Kid Congo. So far he's gotten better after each game, and I would like to see more of the same. If he continues to acclimate to some of the NBA level talent in SL then he may find himself in Cleveland sooner than we all anticipated which would be exciting.

As for Danny Green, I'd like to see him get more minutes than Kinsey because, frankly, he's loads better than Kinsey already.

Finally, I'd like to see our PG distribute the ball instead of being a selfish prick trying to steal the limelight...I wanna see someone find Congo on his alley-oop worthy cuts.

Which reminds me, it's time for Kid Congo to finally throw the hammer down in Sin City.

Games not for 4 hours or so right?

Im with you, I really dont even want Kinsey starting, summer league is to evaluate what you got, we already know what we got with Kinsey. Same with Gordon, I think thier style isnt helping us get a look at everyone else. I'd like to see some nice long stretches with Eyenga and Green on the court at the same time. Lyons has been playing some smart, under the radar ball too, so hope he gets some chances.

But if its another 40 minutes of Jamont Gordon and Tarrance Kinsey taking turns running the LeIso offense, then this game will be a big waste of time.

Game time is in the title. 10:00 PM that link should take you to it.

I wanna see some explosiveness from Danny off the dribble. He doesn't need much as he's a solid shooter and passer, but I wanna see something. Hate for him to turn into a 6'6 version of Luke Walton.

I'm going to repost what I said in another thread. I think Jamont Gordon is being treated very unfairly on here:

He has as many assists as the rest of the team combined (yet people are calling him selfish because he took one bad shot in the last game) and is averaging 5 rebounds coming from the PG spot.

Also, he has played the second most minutes of anyone on the team but there are SIX players on the team who have taken more shots than him. He is taking a shot roughly every 5 minutes which is not bad at all for a PG. Compare that to Steve Nash who most consider a pass first PG he takes a shot every 3 minutes. So once again, tell me how the stats show that Gordon is being selfish?

His a/to ratio is almost 3/1 which is also fantastic. Once again, given the stats, I just can't buy into the argument of him being "shoot first" because the stats show that's just not true.

The main problem is not Gordon, but moreso Kinsey, especially because he gets to run the point a lot. But the whole team needs to learn how to recognize the opportunity and execute a lob pass to Eyenga...it's frustrating to watch him find a seam in the defense and not get rewarded.

We'll see, maybe Jent has made that point clear during practice.

Lebron gets 38 8 10.

I would like them to give Eyenga a little more room on the leash. I mean it's summer league and presumably this is the last you're (Danny Ferry) going to see Eyenga play in the states until next season so let him make mistakes but see what you have in him. If he starts being reckless and turns it over consistently, pull him, but I think these games are meaningless so might as well see what you have rather than what you already know you have (TK). Besides, the kid, Eyenga, has earned more PT with his hustle and play.

What really makes it difficult is that the Cavs really needed a PG with a secure roster spot on this team that would distribute the ball unselfishly and showcase the guys. Unfortunately that was a luxury we didn't have so I just look forward to seeing our new young guys compete.

I don't know if I have the patience to watch Kinsey tonight. I've seen more assists in Iverson mix tape videos and more made jumpshots in Larry Hughes mix tape videos. If you're passing less than AI and shooting worse than Larry, that's something.

I am not basing my opinion on stats. I am basing it on watching all 3 games.
