The Golden State Warriors raised some eyebrows recently when Matt Barnes was quoted as saying the team had hoped to play the Clippers in the second round. The reasoning behind Barnes’ wish was, of course, the nightlife in Los Angeles, compared to that of Salt Lake City.
Of course, that quote was taken and run wild with. In fact, one concerned Utah Jazz forward (Joe Ingles) has heard enough and wanted to lend a helping hand:
Jazz wing Joe Ingles said he'll pay for a car if the entertainment-seeking Warriors want to go to Las Vegas between games.

Now, isn’t that sweet?
Ingles saw some young gentlemen desperate for entertainment and offered to pay for their vacations to Vegas with clearly no ill intention at all.
The Jazz can use all the help they can get against the Warriors death machine on its ravage to the Finals. Unfortunately, even if Matt Barnes takes Ingles’ offer (it’s not out of the question!), it’s not like he plays enough to affect the outcome of the series.
See you in Vegas, Mr. Barnes.
