Celtics' Marcus Morris hopes to avoid his twin Markieff in NBA Playoffs first round

Celtics forward Marcus Morris hopes to avoid his twin Markieff in the first round of the NBA playoffs.

Per ESPN, Morris admitted he would rather see the Milwaukee Bucksor Miami Heat because of his family ties to the Wizards.

"Man, every day we talk about it. Honestly, I don't want to play them first. Can't lie," Morris said after Boston's off-day workout Saturday. "I don't want to play them first because it's my brother and we're going to war. When I go out there -- I've been telling [my teammates] this is war time. It's like fighting for your life out here, and I'd hate to see my brother in the first round, to have to be that bully to my brother when I know it's gonna be like."

"I'm like, 'Kieff, c'mon, man. Like s---. Get to the six or the eight [seed]. I ain't trying to play y'all in the first round,'" said Morris. "He's like, 'I know. I know.' ... Because it said they was like 40 percent to play in the seventh [seed], but then they lost, so I was like, should I be happy that they lost?”
