I can’t wait for Morris to leave in the offseason.

Great start to the season, but this guy has just run his course in Boston and is hurting the team at this point.

No reason whatsoever he should still be starting.

pretty play right there. will be interesting to see what happens in the stretch of minutes coming up where rozier would normally come in and they usually fall apart.

As long as it doesn't have Morris in it I'm totally fine with it.

Kyrie needs to move the ball more, way too ball dominant. Only time he’s setting anyone up is the obvious pick and roll with Horford for the three. Tatum seems to be wasted in the starting lineup. Meanwhile Marcus Morris is in full effect of being the Black hole he was last season since Christmas.

Watching last year’s playoff game and the game specifically against the Sixers without Kyrie, the ball movement was way better. The emphasis of getting Horford the ball in the post to set up offensive plays were a thing of beauty. Tatum was a lot more aggresive and the offense was a lot more unpredictable for teams to figure out defensively.

When he comes off a screen and catches and shoots decisively usually a good sign. It’s when he over thinks everything we get in trouble

Morris was always going to regress. Problem is Hayward Jaylen and Rozier barely improved

Who is able to drive to the basket on this team? Brown and Tatum will lose the ball 50% of the the time due to poor handles. Morris doesn't know how to move with the ball. Smart is too slow. Only Kyrie is left but he also hates contact.

Kyrie can’t score all of a sudden. He looks shook
