Markieff Morris predicts Lakers would sweep Clippers in playoffs

If the NBA season resumes, one of the most highly-anticipated matchups will be the battle for LA, as the Lakers and Clippers have proven to be two of the most dominant teams in the league this season. Adding to the intrigue of the intercity rivalry is a brother rivalry, with Marcus and Markieff Morris playing on the Clippers and Lakers, respectively. The two brothers were asked about a potential playoff series between the teams and, unsurprisingly, both sided with their own squad.

Marcus said he wanted his prediction to be "realistic," so he said the Clippers would beat the Lakers in seven games, though he said the final game would be a blowout win. Markieff responded by saying “let me be realistic with mine, too. Lakers in four.”

To be fair, it appears that Markieff was having fun with his brother, as he was smiling as he made his prediction of the Lakers sweeping their Staples Center co-tenants. But while he may have been joking about the sweep, he definitely was not joking about his belief that the Lakers would come out on top.
