Best role defender you could find to guard Lebron. Also throw him a steady diet of Semi, Brown.

As long as you dont let Lebron score and pass at will, Celts have a good shot to make this a series.
So he's just going to stand there?

lol

Well, he can still wave his arms and run in place.
I mean, it'd be lovely if we could stop him from scoring and passing, but if it were so easy he wouldn't be LeBron. I'm a lot more worried about letting guys like Kevin Love, Jr Smith, or Jeff Green beat you. Even Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood if they go that deep.

LeBron will get his. Make him do it all himself. That's always been the recipe for beating him.

I am hoping Morris will lean on him, bang on him, make him work.

But the place we will tire LBJ out, if we do, is on offense. Whoever he is guarding has to run him around picks, put him in the pick and roll, make him rotate. The only way he can play 40+ minutes and stay fresh enough to close out the game is if he's able to spend a lot of time resting on court. Can't let that happen.

you've got a better chance of Charles Barkley passing you a basket of dinner rolls than you do having Morris pass you a ball on offense. .

TP, slam....made me laugh.

Thanks - thought that was a good one liner that everyone just glazed over.  TP for the good eye ;)

The good news is that Morris can't be worse in this series than he was in the Philly series.

I'm hoping the LeBUM-stopper shows us why Danny traded for him.
