Why is Morris getting minutes?

Okoro, Morris playing together with Mobley. They are doing way better than they should be.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

When Mitchell is on he really feels like an MVP candidate. He is doing everything for the Cavs holy moly

Donovan Mitchell is a killer out there.
And some people think Jaylen Brown is the superior 2 guard.

Horford a good defender for a big on perimeter, but he has to close the distance and give up the drive.

Having him miss a contested turnaround jumper and yell out and 1 was priceless.

Understandable and I guess JB’s instinct is to go with the defensive option but Morris seems really cooked to me.
