A rivalry appears to be brewing between Markieff Morris and Paul Millsap.

The Wizards power forward didn't hold back following Saturday's Game 3 loss to Atlanta, taking a shot at his Hawks counterpart for complaining to officials throughout the contest.

"He just did more for his team. He's a crybaby. Get all the calls and you a crybaby," Morris told The Washington Post's Candace Buckner.

"As a man you take your wins with your losses," he added. "I take my wins and my losses all the time."

This isn't the first time the two sides have voiced their displeasure with one another, as Millsap accused Morris and Co. of playing "MMA-style" basketball in Game 1.

Millsap was less than impressed after learning of Morris' comments, suggesting the 27-year-old should keep his thoughts to himself after getting blown out on the road.

"Take your loss and go back to the hotel," he told reporters.
