The Derek Fisher and Matt Barnes thing was so weird when it came about. I mean the whole thing was a tad silly, Barnes was stupid for even driving over and Fisher was stupid for being there in the first place, don’t you have a team to coach? What are you doing hosting some barbecue?
The whole thing was dumb, but because Matt Barnes is Matt Barnes, and because the Grizzlies and Knicks will meet Saturday night. Of course Barnes will talk about it!
“[…] the Grizzlies forward pledged to avoid his enemy during their match up Saturday, if only because he fears the Knicks coach will, to steal Barnes’ buzz word Thursday, “snitch.”
“I don’t talk to snakes,” Barnes told the Daily News.
“I never wish for another man’s downfall. I always knew the NBA would come down hard on me, so I wasn’t surprised… Cause I’m the bad guy.”
“I know I got to keep my mouth shut because then he’ll run and tell,” Barnes said. “So we’re focused on playing that team (the Knicks). And when I’m retired, him and I will cross paths again.”
I don’t want to stir but I sort of want them to just bump into each other. I don’t want a full on fight but just having Barnes beam at Fish one time will just make my night.
What if Barnes just drops a career high on the Knicks? I know he probably won’t but that’ll be great, Barnes would talk about it until the cows come home.
