The first-round series between the Wizards and Hawks may not have sounded so exciting at the outset, but the matchup has provided plenty of fireworks through the first three games, including a budding feud between Markieff Morris and Paul Millsap.
Here's a quick timeline of their encounters:
- Game 1: The two got wrapped up during a loose ball, as Millsap took a lot of contact from Morris
- Game 1: Millsap complains Morris is stepping over the line on his free throws, Morris tells him to shut up, they exchange words
- Game 1: Millsap complains about the physicality, says Wizards were doing MMA
- Game 3: Morris calls Millsap a "crybaby"
- Game 3: Millsap claps back
Now, the Hawks fans have entered the fray, stepping up for their All-Star forward before Game 4. Some enterprising fans have showed up at the arena with a sign featuring Morris in a state of consternation, with tears added to his face, and "crybaby" written above.

The Hawks are in desperate need of a win Monday night, so it's understandable their fans are pulling out all the stops to try and make it happen. I'm not sure how much this sign is going to help, but hey, it's worth a shot.
