With the Eastern Conference Finals set to begin Sunday, Celtics forward Marcus Morris is confident he can guard LeBron James, via Jay King of The Athletic:
Marcus Morris not shying away from matchup with LeBron: “Personally, I think probably the best guy defending him in the league, outside of Kawhi.”

Morris did clarify, however, that not “one person” can shut down LeBron:
Because you guys are freaking out about this quote, here’s another one from Marcus Morris today: “One person can’t defend LeBron, that’s obvious.”

James has been absurd in the playoffs, averaging 34.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 9.0 assists on 55 percent shooting from the field.
