I really don't think Marcus Morris is the difference between being a le contender and not. That's giving him way too much credit.
I think he makes a big difference. Not because he is a great player, but because he is a good player that can play the 3/4 and we will need those to compete against the Clippers. He's valuable for match up reasons.

The media is so player empowerment that Pop's complaints lasted about 5 minutes outside of San Antonio and were forgotten.
