My brother is a Wizards fan.

I can't promise there won't be a squabble, hopefully not to the level of the Morris Bros vs Jokic Bros

Many have long wanted Okoro to start next to Garland. So here we go.

Not with Dean Wade. Yuck.

Garland has to be aggressive from the start. Can't really stand off-ball and wait for someone else to make a play with this starting lineup.

We still believe Isaac’s strongest position is at the 2,” Cavs coach J.B. Bickerstaff said Tuesday. “This gives him an opportunity to get minutes there and see him again in positions of strength.”



With Okoro in Sexton’s spot, he will be matched up against Bradley Beal, one of the NBA’s elite scorers.



“It’s a hell of a welcome back, right? That’s what Isaac does is accept all challenges,” Bickerstaff said. “Going back to last year, we threw him at everybody. Different sizes, positions, skill sets. That’s the challenge he’s willing to take. That’s how he knows he can help this team. He will go out there. He will compete with him and make it difficult on him.”

This starting lineup is going to be reliant on Garland hitting some threes tonight.

Wade, Okoro, Mobley, and Allen are combining for 1.3 3PM per game this season. That’s...not ideal to say the very least.

Lets not expect miracles from Okoro tonight,,geez he's been out the last 7 games or so....
I can just imagine some of the posts in here tonight about how bad he looks.

Just hoping his hamstring is healed and can slow down Beal. Any offense will be a bonus

I live in DC and follow the Wizards. Pro tip that Gafford is really good and not really a fall off from Bryant. He is a great shot blocker and plays a lot taller than he measures

Haven't been this excited for a Cavs game in a while

Have a feeling he drops 30

you mean gives up 30? He is coming off injury and now is thrown in the starting line up with players he hasn't played with much.

What? In college he was a sniper. Thus far in the NBA he is a brick machine 3 for 13 from deep.

interesting. I guess his 4 seasons in college were a fluke compared to the 10 min per he is getting in the NBA

Great players do great things at uncertain times. Remember Jordan and th flu game? We find out if Okoro will be great tonight.
