Morris has been well liked by Cavs patrons since signing here. The good people of northeast Ohio love a player not afraid of dirty work, so long as the dirtiness is being projected onto the other team. Morris’ reputation as a potentially dirty player typically follows him, and even he knows he had a previous track record for controversy against past Cavs teams. That’s why, he said, when the reaction was so warm to him signing with Cleveland, and again when he peeled off the warmups and checked in Tuesday, and certainly when he drained this two critical 3s in the fourth quarter, the support meant such a great deal to him. “S—, I ain’t the most lovable guy around the league, you know what I’m saying?” Morris said. “So for a city like this to take me in and to actually push for me to play and want me to play — it felt really good.”
