Marcus Morris Rumors

Marcus Morris is “that guy” for the Celtics. He’s one of the enforcers and dominant personalities on a team that doesn’t take a scintilla of disrespect from anybody. He’s also sometimes guilty of riling up his opponents, prodding and pressing and working to get a rise out of his foes. It was there in his clapping in the face of Tristan Thompson in Game 2, and it was there again on Wednesday when he uttered something inaudible — but clearly inflammatory — to Larry Nance Jr. in Boston’s 96-83 Game 5 win . “Man, I’m just competing at a high level,” said Morris. “I’m blessed to be able to come out here and play in games of this magnitude. Things get chippy — hey, it’s the conference finals.”
