Celtics rookie Tacko Fall has drawn chants and cheers seemingly every time he's been on the court, including last week during Boston's 118-95 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden.

While Knicks forward - and former Celtic - Marcus Morris wasn't pleased with the result of the game, he has nothing but respect for Fall.

"How could you be upset at Tacko Fall?" Morris said Friday. "I definitely understand where you're coming from. I wish it had been the other way and we beat their ass and they put him in, but obviously Tacko, I heard nothing but good things about him."

I asked Marcus Morris whether the whole Tacko Fall mania at MSG last Saturday bothered him. His response was priceless. #Knicks #Celtics pic.twitter.com/99iP0qy8Ml

That game marked Fall's first regular-season action. He's expected to spend most of the campaign with the Celtics' G League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws.
