WALTHAM, Mass. – The Cleveland Cavaliers cruised through last season’s Eastern Conference Finals matchup against the Boston Celtics in just five games. But that was before Marcus Morris entered the equation.
As one of the most well-documented challengers of LeBron James, Morris' presence in the upcoming ECF rematch could make a tremendous difference in how the series plays out for Boston.
During his last 11 regular season and playoff games against a Morris team, James has averaged 21.1 points per game while shooting just 16.3 percent from 3-point range. Even more remarkable is the fact that James did not reach 30 points during any of those matchups, which is a feat he seemingly accomplishes every other game.
