MORI-STRADOMUS STRIKES!

There is a difference between animosity and anger.

Marcus Morris' outburst toward Hornacek during the third quarter of Wednesday's win at Minnesota was about his anger over an official's no-call after he said he was hit and bleeding from the nose. He turned on Hornacek because the coach calmly did not agree with him getting a technical for arguing.

Morris' relationship with the coach he calls "H" made him comfortable enough to argue but it was not the intended disrespect or acrimony that came across to viewers.

Immediately after the game, Morris apologized to Hornacek first and then the team, addressing younger players specifically.

"It seemed like it was worse than it really was," Morris said. "I don't care what people think. I know what kind of relationship I have with my team and my coaches.

"It seemed like it was worse than it really was," Morris said. "I don't care what people think. I know what kind of relationship I have with my team and my coaches.

This is the same guy who said he felt "disrespected" when the coaching staff told him to work on his defense last year.

I don't know if he used the right word there, but he said he took offense and worked harder on his defense. Isn't that what you want from a guy?

Yes, he defense has improved. I'll give him credit for that.

My point was that when he was told he needed to improve, he was offended first. This is not some established vet with a solid body of work who is told to work harder; he's young player told about a weakness and his first reaction was to push back.

Hornacek may say everything is fine and all is peaches. But you better believe he'll remember who blew up at him during a game, on a game that had a national feed.

"I play with a lot of speed and I like to attack angles," Wright said. "I can play above the rim and block shots. I can play in the pick-and-roll. I get up and down the court. All the fun stuff in basketball that you like to see, that's what I can do."

"I look at this as a great opportunity," Wright said. "It's a great fit for style. I think I'm a perfect fit. Hopefully, I can be another weapon for the arsenal.

"I do roll (on screens) and you can suck in a lot of (defensive) help. I do envision that being similar to what I did in Dallas. But this team is a lot more athletic and youthful."

"It's always good to be wanted," Wright said before walking through plays with some Suns on Friday evening. "Dallas was an outstanding fit for me but this is even better."
