Morris has a lot of postseason experience and toughness the Cavaliers desperately need against a team going big heavy. They're also going to want to keep that floor spread out as much as possible.

It will be interesting to see how the ball moves around for Orlando without Harris playing.

I just don't respect Morris at all, a lot of his "benefits" last game were him taking the ball and making a mid range off the dribble. That's the worst shot in basketball, and he isn't nearly the defender he thinks he still is.

So far, he has done nothing, and had his hand down on a three, bad move so far IMO.
On a near 30 footer, gimme a break lol

No time on the clock, why not actually guard the shooter?

Okoro's a clown. That was a clear lob to Mobley that he screwed up.

That was a very poor decision by Okoro. You have a 2 on 1 with a lob threat in Mobley, just give it to the big man and get the guaranteed basket.

I was about to ask why Niang came in. I thought he wasn’t going to play the rest of the series.

Surely a lineup of Okoro, LeVert, Niang, and Tristan Thompson isn't the answer...

Really a shame Allen and Dean Wade are hurt. The Cavs are now missing a lot of functional size.
