  Wow...you know I love me some Matt Barnes but playing like that aint the spirit! Why the hell would a noted NBA player try and trip some unknown??? I just dont get it...

  I think he needs anger management... :) But seriously, tripping someone is not the adult thing to do. He knows that he could not get away with that in an NBA game! That's not a good way to represent the NBA. I still tbink that he is acting out of frustration from not resigning with the Warriors. I could be wrong, but I think that might be weighing on his conscience. I think this may be his last chance at getting it right with Phoenix so he can't afford to have these "temper tantrums" . It's just not a good look for him.

  I'm not sure my post was entirely clear: Barnes missed the guy's foot, so he didn't actually trip the guy, but I had a great view of the play and it was dirty, dirty, DIRTY. Barnes was definitely trying to put this guy on the ground.

  Even worse than Barnes' cheap play was the fact that I saw him grab ONE rebound in game two. Maybe he grabbed more, but I didn't see it. He definitely has a paint allergy, because he made no effort to go inside. I'm hoping it's because he promised the Suns that he'd avoid injury at all cost.

  He comes across as a lazy player at times. I just hope that he finds his "nitch" with Phoenix. Any lack of effort on his part from here on will only lead him to another 1 year contract.
