Markieff Morris May Have Made The Worst Consecutive Passes In Basketball History

I like Markieff Morris.  How anyone could not like a player who describes himself as a “garbage man” is beyond me.  That being said, he may have made the worst consecutive passes in the history of basketball as the Suns crushed the Rockets on Sunday evening.  Watch as he lazily swings the ball directly to Goran Dragic, leading to a dunk, then beams the ensuing inbound...

TABLES HAVE TURNED

Video: Markieff Morris dunks on Blake Griffin

For once, Blake Griffin is the one getting put on the poster.  Near the end of the first half, Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris got the ball and threw down a vicious dunk on Griffin. Griffin is so used to making posters that I don’t think he knew how to react to getting slammed on.  The Suns currently trail the Clippers by eight, but maybe they can use that dunk...

Suns' Markieff Morris' path diverges from brother Marcus

Suns extra: For 21 years, Markieff and Marcus Morris were more like conjoined twins. Now they're on separate NBA teams and on different paths (thus far).

Morris developing into reliable option for Suns

Based on its application, we might've presumed the word "safe" had been appropriated to define a position on a basketball court. It would go something like this: Markieff Morris, safe power forward. Well, that reference certainly seemed to mark a comfort zone for the unofficial seers of the 2011 NBA Draft, who were obliged to judge the Phoenix Suns' selection...

Rookie Markieff Morris Impressive Once Again in Phoenix Suns Win

Through the first five season of the season, there have been many troubling things to look at if you are a Suns fan. Phoenix has struggled mightily shooting the basketball, both Steve Nash and Grant Hill appear finally to start showing their age and Marcin Gortat’s broken thumb is clearly bothering him. Rookie Markieff Morris hasn’t been one of those troubling things...

WeAreSuns crew reacts to Phoenix Suns’ 86-85 loss to New Orleans

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bWixIgwkhs On the final play the Suns had Nash inbound the ball to Morris at the high post, then had Nash run off screens on the opposite side. Morris’ cross-court pass was tipped out of bounds and the Suns never got a shot off. Your thoughts? Matty P: Confusing play. Why risk a cross-court pass? Why have a rookie throw the pass? Looks like Gentry...

Morris ready to make an impact for Suns

PHOENIX -- It's been quite some time since a rookie made much of an impact for the Phoenix Suns. Not since Amare Stoudemire in 2002 has a lottery draft pick stuck with the Suns and played significant minutes right away. But the Suns' first-round pick in the 2011 draft, power forward Markieff Morris, believes he can be different and isn't interested in waiting around...
