Boston Celtics forward Marcus Morris is still pretty confident about his team's chances of beating the Milwaukee Bucks despite being down in the Eastern Conference semi-finals series 3-1.
Aside from saying that the Celtics are still a better team than the Bucks, Morris also told one of the team's assistant coaches that the team won't be planning any vacation until the next month.
Marcus Morris was getting his shoes on before shootaround when an assistant coach playfully asked him if he was ready to start shooting or if he was on vacation over there.
Mook stood up, launched a 3, and declared: “We ain’t going on vacation for another month."

After winning the series opener, the Celtics lost three straight games against the Bucks and one more defeat will officially eliminate them from the playoffs.
After sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the first round, it looked like the Celtics were primed for a deep playoff run, but that high expectation of winning a championship has now turned into hopes of survival as Boston will need to win the remaining three games to oust Milwaukee and advance to the conference finals.
Game 5 of the series will be later tonight in Milwaukee, where the Celtics look to extend their tenure in the postseason for at least a couple more days. They definitely have the talent and the experience to pull an upset, but their struggles to play as a team could potentially doom their chances.
Well, at least they don't lack the confidence, which is a good thing considering the fact that the Bucks have the momentum heading into tonight's matchup.
It's win-or-go-home from this point forward for the Celtics, and how they respond to the challenge of beating the Bucks three straight will determine the outcome of their season.
