Marcus, Markieff Morris Disagree on Outcome of Potential Clippers - Lakers Series

The twin brothers and Western Conference rivals don't see eye-to-eye when it comes to deciding between the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers.

The season series between the LA Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers has been everything it was hyped up to be and more.
