21 minutes, 0 points, 1 rebound, and 3 turnovers. His costly play at the end in which Crowder screened LeBron and Kieff stood there watching like an idiot. What the hell did he do all game? When Danny Green missed and Morris got the rebound, there was six seconds remaining. This guy stood there like he had to take a dump or something and panicked with a terrible pass to AD. He said, 'my bad' when he realized what he had done. My BAD? LeBron was wide open and you hold the ball like an idiot there only to throw up a dumb pass. It's tough not to be frustrated when you see how awful Markieff and the bench players played. Rondo was not playoffs Rondo tonight. Danny Green missed a wide open three when the next closest player to him was a mile away. And don't let me get started with Kyle Kuzma. This guy just sucks. Enough of his b/s. He's garbage.
Throwing it into the stands was the better option than giving it back to wide open danny green to brick another 3.
That pass. LeBron was open.. That and Butler abused him. His highest stat tonight was fouls at 4, followed by turnovers with 3.
jr smith'ish when he grabbed n O rebs n tries to run out the clock after a missed ft when clev was down 1 lol
True, but the majority of role players in his position I feel would make a similar panicked play. The game wasn't lost there or even with the DG 3.
Fail. And Miami attacked the f*** out of him when he was in. Should be the end of him in this series. Time to go back to the broad who got you here...McGee/D12. As I said in the Green thread, McGee would've hit that 3. I'm not 100% D12 would've, but anyone else on the roster with that look. That's found money.
He was awful tonight. Unfortunate indeed considering it was a close out game. That last play was headscratching no doubt. I know he was trying to get it to AD which is probably the right move. But that pass was crap. I'd rather he had shot it though it probably wasn't going in.
He hustled for the ball...just made a bad pass to Davis. Normally Morris gets some point on scraps, a trey or two. Still like the guy...
He panicked. But we definitely need to be playing him less. He’s getting cooked defensively out there.
Prior to this series, I trusted the odds with his 3. They were smart shots and he rarely took one he didn't think he'd make. The Heat have encouraged him to shoot and have come out ahead because of it. But when you're not hitting and Bam is making you his b****, use your vet IQ to find us an edge. We need traditional bigs if Bam is on the floor. If they switch at a high rate, use McGee sparingly, but he'd get those boards Morris lost to the Heat and I even trust him with that trey over Green.
He's BBQ chicken on D for J Buckets . This is the adjustment Lakers have to make , not giving up that switch so easily
He's an average player. The question is why does Vogel play him. Vogel plays him and Green in the crucial final possession. He called timeout to take Caruso out and put Green in. Morris was defending Butler and getting abused.
Our entire bench was coming up short. You have to play 5 players out there. I thought it made sense to close out with Morris in terms of our offense. I’m not going to blame Vogel for that. Defensively I wish we somehow could have found a way to avoid letting Butler target him. But yeah, terrible game. Panicked when it mattered most. I think trying to get it to AD there wasn’t the worst idea, but he wasn’t ready for that moment and botched it. And really, I think you just have to get it to Bron in that situation.
I hate seeing these photos, can’t help but think LeBron was robbed of an MJ-like game winning, series ending shot right there. When Morris threw it out of bounds I went numb, so much energy wasted on this game. Touching on that finishing lineup, I felt like KCP sat for too long in the 4th, he was hot and Green got back in ahead of him and it just wasn’t good. I can understand Morris over Dwight though, the refs were calling ridiculous touch fouls all night so he was a risk .
