Marcus Morris 22 Points Full Highlights (12/15/2019)

I was getting my body ready for the ludicrous possibility of the Knicks winning three games in a row, and then they had to go and totally implode in the last few minutes of this one against the Nuggets. There was a stretch for nearly 6 minutes near the end of the game where they didn’t score at all. Some of the possessions were laughably bad, others were just bricks, but it was a serious regression to the Knicks of old (“old” being a week ago). They’re lucky that they didn’t get blown out by even more, honestly.

Marcus Morris had a super-hot third quarter before joining his teammates in collectively choking in the fourth, so credit to him. If it weren’t for his incredibly swaggy jumpers, the Knicks wouldn’t have even been in position to fail to capitalize. I don’t know if he was trying to channel the spirit of Carmelo Anthony (either the Nuggets version or the Knicks version), but if he was, obviously that’s not going to work forever because the real Carmelo is still very much alive and will notice if his spirit is being channeled. You can get away with it for a while, but souls still attached to their mortal bodies don’t like being messed with by meddlers.

Have I mentioned how much I’m starting to resent this dude? He’s scoring so much, finally living up to his potential or whatever, but I feel like I have to make a vid every game for him. But as long as his brother keeps sucking it up in Detroit, Marcus gets to stay. They’re a package deal, it wouldn’t feel right to disqualify one while keeping the other.
