After the big 4, Clippers have the 5 next best players.
I'm not even sure the Lakers can beat the Clippers once, let alone in a 7-game series.

Morris provides excellent spacing and scoring for the Clippers if he can keep shooting 3s like that.

ConSarnit wrote:I don’t know about no chance but Morris is one of the few guys who you can leave on an island with Lebron and not have to panic. Clips now have 3 reliable guys they can throw at Lebron for 48 min, or drop that to 2 and let Kawhi save his energy for the offensive end. This doesn’t bode great for the Lakers.

Marginal? harkless is no where near as good as morris.

If he was shooting 36% from 3 I'd agree with you. But he's shooting 44% on 6 attempts a game. Thats elite level stuff being added to a top 3 team in the league.

Who is to say he is going to continue shooting .70ish% better from 3 than his career average for the rest of this season? Just last season he was only shooting .375% from 3.

It's one game.
I don't like the Morris brothers but Marcus is clearly the better player.
I guess if we're judging by one game, then Bradley is a better offensive player than Lou Will right?
Pelinka took Swaggy P, Robert Sacre, Carlos Boozer and other assorted garbage and turned it into LeBron and AD. He took a bunch of **** and built it into the team that embarrassed the Clippers today. The same Clippers that GB says is a lock to win the title.Pharmcat wrote:Pelinka screwed the lakers with the cap space....he should have split the 30 million into Lamb, Delon Wright, and Morris to round out the starting 5 instead of giving that cap space to over the hill scrubs that dont move the needle

This haven't aged well, at least not so far after that loss yesterday. Morris is a good player, but very unstable, when he's with his head on the right place he does his thing right, but when his mood changes and that happens quite often and pretty easily, he sucks.Al Horford wrote:Brad Stevens is a genius, man.
