Marcus Morris had one of his best games of the season on Wednesday as the Los Angeles Clippers took on the Utah Jazz. Morris' team-high 24-point effort was not enough, though, as the Jazz made easy work of a shorthanded Clippers side, 124-103.
After the game, Morris had a bit of an unsavory message for their opponents. The Clippers vet took a blatant shot at the Jazz as he criticized their defensive capabilities outside Rudy Gobert:
“Yeah, they're still the same team,” Morris said, via Farbod Esnaashari of FanNation. “Ain't nothing changed. [Rudy] protects all of them. None of them really can defend. Just funnel it to him, and it's tough to – he's a great player, and he does a great job of, you know, anticipation, staying down, being real solid. So, you know who they are.”
Talk about an unfiltered tirade. Well, this is what we've all come to expect from the one and only Marcus Morris and this is exactly the type of no-nonsense attitude that makes him a fan favorite for the Clippers.
To be fair, Morris did heap praise on Gobert as he recognized how the three-time Defensive Player of the Year serves as the anchor of Utah's defense. It's just that Morris isn't impressed with everyone else on that squad.
