If Markieff Morris joins the Los Angeles Lakers as expected, Marcus Morris says he can see the twin brothers not only living together but carpooling to Staples Center if the LA Clippers and Lakers face each other in a seven-game playoff series. “We’re two competitive guys, that’s gonna be like really fun,” Marcus Morris said on Saturday when asked about the possibility of the twins being on opposite contending sides in Los Angeles. “Probably gonna ride to the game together. That don’t bother us, to have to go out there and compete — we’re pros, and both of us gonna go hard and both are gonna do the best we can do for our team.”

Andrew Greif: Brad Stevens on the Clippers: “They’re loaded. They’re really good.” Said Marcus Morris gives LA the option of guarding skilled 4s in the playoffs.
Marc Berman: Mike Miller on who’s stepped up as leader following Morris departure. “We have Julius (who) increased his communication with everybody, being more that guy who talks more. Taj has been that guy all year. Wayne has been great as well. Even Reggie.”
The Los Angeles Lakers (40-12) may have a four-game advantage in the standings over the Los Angeles Clippers (37-17), but the Clippers, who are undefeated in two matchups with the Lakers, upgraded at last week’s trade deadline by acquiring Marcus Morris Sr. from the New York Knicks. “There’s no way the Lakers beat the Clippers in a seven-game series,” an Eastern Conference executive said.
