Kieff Shocked the Floorboards!…
On a chilly Thursday night, the Los Angeles Lakers encountered the Milwaukee Bucks and fielded a lineup that sounded more like the beginning of a bar joke. Missing six top players, Markieff Morris found himself on the floor with Gabe Vincent, Dalton Knecht, Jordan Goodwin, and Jaxson Hayes. Despite the Lakers being served a 29-point beatdown, Morris kept the mood light with nine points, four rebounds, and two assists. Impressively, he managed a plus-seven in a game that essentially looked like a looney tunes episode for L.A. while the team lost 36 points when he chilled on the bench.
Morris, not usually seen dominating in the postseason, claims to have shown his chops despite the gloomy defeat. With a candid smile post-game, he declared, “Shit, I’m just ready any time.” Though he might not have scored MVP-level points, Morris believes the secret to playing with rookies is they don’t know what they’re doing, so “the old dude just fills the gaps and chats them through it.” Translation? He’s the Yoda of the Lakers, slotting in like he’s solving a crossword puzzle and racking up experience points.
As the Lakers hope the wrath of the substitutes bench doesn’t strike again, Morris has made it clear: if chaos reigns once again, expect him to step up and maybe whip up a victory. Meanwhile, rookie Bronny James engaged turbo mode, sinking 17 points and ensuring that he isn’t just LeBron Jr., but a formidable threat on the court. Fun times ahead for the Lakers if everyone finally makes it to the court on time.
