Celtics' Morris 'ready to go now' for Game 5 vs. 76ers

If Marcus Morris had it his way, Game 5 between his Boston Celtics and the Philadelphia 76ers would get underway immediately and not two days from now.

"S---, I'm ready to go now," Morris said after Boston fell 103-92 in Game 4 at Wells Fargo Center on Monday, according to ESPN's Chris Forsberg. "They had a lot to say in here.

"They did what they're supposed to do. They got one. S---, we did what we're supposed to do, we got one (on the road). So we'll go back 3-1 and hopefully we put it away."

Morris jawed with Sixers big man Joel Embiid on a number of occasions in Game 4, and even made a "3-0" hand gesture in an attempt to get the All-Star center to pipe down.

"Because it's reality," Morris said when asked why he made the hand motion. "It's hard because I know I wouldn't say a damn word if I was down 3-1. But, hey, we're all different. So it is what it is."

Morris contributed 17 points, five rebounds, and two rejections on 6-of-15 shooting off the bench in 34 minutes of action in Game 4.

The Eastern Conference semifinals will now shift back to Beantown for Game 5 on Wednesday. Should the Celtics close out the Sixers, they'll move on to the Eastern Conference finals to battle LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
