Title: I like the push back of Morris
Post by: rollie mass on April 08, 2018, 06:26:19 AM: Morris brings back some old Celtic grit..To back down from Portis ,you got to be kidding!
When the playoffs start and the gloves come off we have two veteran tough guys Morris and Baynes
Then add the old style play of Monroe down low and physical.This is such a departure it just might work.
Its not just because of his game versus the Bulls.Its just another tool that Brad can use to exploit certain match ups.

I like the attitude.
Yeah, but I hate him imitating a black hole on offense.

? He's only taken over 20 shots once this year (and dropped 31) and averages 11.3FGA on an EFG% of .504

I don't see how he's been a black hole, particularly when his role is to come off the pine and score on a bench devoid of scoring talent

He's going to have to be our Marcus Smart for the time being.

We obviously need his scoring with all the injuries, but I'm getting really tired of his inconsistency, shot selection, and ball stopper iso game. You can see why he's not really missed by any of his 3 prior teams.

Morris has always been a giveth and taketh away type player his whole career. I like his gunner mentality even if it drives me insane sometimes. Every team needs a guy like that for a deep playoff run. NO FEAR!

Yep, this is the nature of Morris. it would be nice if he only had great games but if that were the case, he wouldn't be on the team to begin with.

I feel confident he'll have a big moment before this series is over.
