The Clippers wanted nothing to do with the bubble. There was nowhere to go, no escape from each other or their opponents. George admitted to falling into a state of depression. And Lou Williams, Montrezl Harrell and Patrick Beverley all left and returned to the bubble for personal reasons, fracturing their already complicated team chemistry.
“Off the court was damn near hell,” Jackson says of the isolation of the bubble.
When faced with a Nuggets team that didn’t quit having overcome a 3-1 series deficit in the first round against Utah, the Clippers folded, blowing leads of 16, 19 and 12 points in their last three losses of the series.
“We only lost that s— because we were in the bubble,” Marcus Morris Sr. says. “[If] we weren’t in the bubble, we’d beat the s— out of them. Put that on the record. … Guys are out of their comfort zone. Kudos to Denver.”

Doc Rivers said the same bullshit. Like didn’t y’all have a double digit lead in every game you lost in that series including game 7 ??? So like was it the bubbles fault then ? Fucking bozos
Lol “guys are out of their comfort zone” as if the opposing team isn’t. Each team had to go through the same thing
Hubris and humility are not a particular skill of the Morris brothers. lol
You were up 3-1…
Pain.
Everybody was out of their comfort zone
Yes because the other team wasn’t going through the same stuff lol
It’s crazy how often you hear pro athletes saying things like “we would’ve beaten them if it weren’t for X”. How do you get that successful as a professional athlete whilst still thinking you can pin any result on one thing?
Every single result in every single game in every single sport has a million different factors playing into the result. A vet of all people should know that by now.
The Morris twins are clowns? Truly shocking news to us all
This guy and his brother are the definition of ass clowns. I don’t know why those words go together, but the Morris twins just make it make sense.
He really ends it with “guys are out of their comfort zones” as an excuse for not winning the series…
No way he has that little self awareness.
Are there any NBA players more unlikable than the Morris twins? They once jumped a dude, Markieff had his cheap shot on Jokic, and they constantly bitch and talk shit
“Put that on the record” like anyone gives a fuck what Marcus Morris has to say about the situation.
They weren’t depressed when they tried hurting Luka in the previous. Morris can GTFOH
Doesn’t excuse blowing a double digit lead in Game 5 to CLOSE the fucking series out
Marcus Morris is a bitch
You’re a fucking JOKE Marcus, and you know it.
Fake tough guy acting tough. What’s new?
Didn’t Marcus Morris tell Paul Millsap “get ready to go the fuck home” in Game 5 and then proceeded to lose 3 straight games
Lmao copium. Everyone had to go through the same shit in the bubble. It didn’t advantage any team. You blew a 3-1 lead Marcus (and have continued to lose to the Nuggets ever since)
“Off the court was damn near hell”
Jfc what a line when you consider what the world was dealing with
Wild how people trying to spin playing on a neutral court isn’t fair
Oh so now you need to be in your comfort zone to win? Soft as fuck.
This only makes the Lakers bubble chip even more impressive if this is what players really think.
Oh that’s weird, was Denver not also in the bubble dealing with the same shit?
Sounds like someone’s salty to me.
Man…millions of dollars just to play hoops. Then hooping in the bubble when millions out their jobs. Damn…that comfort zone is rough
Fakest “tough guy” in the league.
pure cope
Look, I’ll always have a soft spot for the Morrii because I went to KU in the early 2010s.
But this is wack. What professional lives engages in a hypothetical “we would have won *if*…”
But you didn’t.
“Off the court, it was absolute hell”, says the multimillionaire athlete
Morris has absolutely no right to say this considering [this is how they went on to blow that 3-1 lead](https://i.imgur.com/W4sxVSp.jpg)
“Off the court was damn near hell”
Being stuck at a resort with full amenities, fishing, water slides, indoor courts, and eventually your family was allowed to come in too. Damn near hell indeed.
The Morris brothers are idiots.
So he basically admit the nuggets were the mentally tougher team?
Not sure what he’s bitchin about. Playing a mile high vs playing in Orlando??? Advantage Nugs opponents.
So like where the Nuggets not also in the Bubble? Never seen a team cry so much about something everyone had to deak with.
Morris twins are walking L’s
