    LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I AM SO HAPPY I CANT BELIEVE THIS

    Mook must’ve cheated on Ty. So this must be payback.

    Let’s see what TMZ digs up…

    Tomer dropping this in the middle of the game is more exciting than the game.

  8. brown-ale

    Great news but why would this come out during a game?

  10. mccgriffin

    Is this for real? Mook from 30 minutes a game to out of the rotation? How did this happen

  11. musy101

    What happened? Hope Morris is okay. What an insane turn around…

  12. venom18

    Days like this make me think anyone can make a change and difference out there in the world

    Can’t wait for postgame.

    I remember Roco saying a few weeks ago that Ty talked to him and told him what “the plan” was. I was starting to assume he just made that up.

    Does anyone remember that article? Maybe it was just a fever dream.

    >“He talked to me and told me basically what his plan was,” Covington said of his talks with Lue. “He just told me, ‘Stay ready.’ You don’t know when things are going to shift, but he just said, ‘Keep doing what you’re doing.’ Things are going to shift.”

    Maybe his plan was to completely disintegrate Marcus Morris’s knees and then change it up. idk

    I’m in Vegas….bout to make a bet…. LFG!

    Sources? The front office. Lets see what sneaky play Ty will do to counter. LOL

  21. taroicedtea

    Holy… I thought it was a troll tweet but it’s real. LFG

  22. baldful

    k, now tell me why my boy coffey isnt getting playing time

  23. jkc7

    How the fuck does this drop in the MIDDLE of a game

  24. DynamixRo

    I imagine this is what winning a championship must feel like.

  26. Aplesi567

    Happy for this decision but hope morris is fine. All this controversy could have been avoided if Ty just benched him like he should have

  29. MVPG2022

    Have always said that I don’t expect this to be a problem in the playoffs. Either Morris returns to form or Ty makes the change. Looks like the rope to get out of his slump has ended.

  30. Itsjoshchoi

    Anyone else think this mid game news drop when we’re winning and Batum having great game was a strategic play by the front office? We know Ty cant be the source.

  31. sports_boy_ansolo

    Batum Battalion has made a statement to Tyliban Lue tonight!

  32. Rawrlorz

    Ty is gonna be like nahhhh Marcus a better fit

  34. ruet_ahead

    12 dimensional chess. This has been the plan all along. 😏

  35. BlackGotham

    Front office? 🤔
    Eagerly awaiting post-game interviews.

  36. nepats523

    I’ll believe it when I see it. Was it Tomer or one of the other beat reporters who said Mook was going to hit the bench a month ago?

  40. TorontoRaptors34

    Cue Meek Mill Dreams and Nightmares🔥👏🏿🙏🤲🥹

  41. boog1evilleUSA
