Matt Barnes’ greatest hits with the Orlando Magic

http://0rz.tw/rlW3r

連結裡有 Matt Barnes 今年賽季幾個「經典」的鏡頭，對我們來說，咩棒在性格與球
風上有我們家球員比較缺少的強悍特質，不過從他拒絕 Cavs 7M/2yrs 跑去 Lakers領
一半的價碼來看，也許他是真正的競爭者吧，當初如果不要 opt out 就好了阿，雖然
我們在補了小Q後損失並不大，不過看到他去 Lakers 就不爽 lol

當初如果 MB 沒有 opt out，然後續簽順利白巧克力，中產拿去簽大米的話該有多好
呢 -_-

It’s unlikely Matt Barnes will actually kill you … probably. But the idea
sure made for some funny T-Shirts.

Little else needs to be said about Barnes’ impact on the basketball court
than the fact that  those T-shirts, complete with a menacing picture of his
face, exist. Barnes was the Magic’s tough guy last season. An antagonist to
some of the league’s best players. It was how he contributed even while
struggling offensively.

Barnes, who opted out of the second year of his  contract with the Magic this
summer,  will play for the Los Angeles Lakers next season. Salary cap issues
won’t get in the way of this deal.

Barnes will reportedly get $1.7 million next season with a player option for
2011-2012 worth $1.9 million. He made $1.6 million with the Magic last
season. It’s barely a raise — especially when you consider that California
has state taxes and Florida doesn’t. But the deal allows Barnes to play for
the two-time defending champions and return to his home state and a town with
which he’s pretty familiar, having played college ball at UCLA.

He turned down an offer that guaranteed $7 million over two years with the
Cavaliers.

Many Magic fans will miss Barnes — he still says he’s disappointed he didn’
t stay with the Magic. He started 58 games, taking over for Mickael Pietrus
as the starting small forward.

It was his job to defend the likes of Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Paul Pierce
and Kobe Bryant. He wasn’t smooth in doing it, a stopper by definition isn’
t. And when his fire went too far, when it got him ejected, his teammates
would be asked if they thought he should tone it down. Their responses never
changed: No way.

“You guys want us to be physical? Don’t complain if we are physical,”
 Dwight Howard said after Barnes was ejected from an April game against the
Memphis Grizzlies. “That’s what we want. That’s what we need.”

As Barnes’ moves on, here the top five battles we saw him fight this past
season. However you feel about his antics, it’s indisputable they were
entertaining and, more importantly, candid.

5. Matt Barnes vs. a Spurs Fan

What Happened: While Barnes defended the Magic against the opponents’ best
player, he also defended his teammate Dwight Howard against critics, fans,
refs and hackers. When Hack-A-Howard got too forceful, it was Barnes who
would pop up and stick his face centimeters from said hacker to tell him to
back off. Barnes was fined during the playoffs for criticizing how tightly
refs officiated Howard.

Fans weren’t exempt either, as one aggressive heckler behind the Magic’s
bench (who got ejected from the game) learned in San Antonio.

Said Barnes of the incident: “He was cussing at Dwight, so I said something.
You know me. He said, ‘I’ll be waiting for you after the game.’ He said, ‘
I’ll remember your face.’”

Uhhh…really, Spurs fan? (see t-shirt)

4. Matt Barnes vs. the Memphis Grizzlies

What Happened: Barnes said he was going to argue a call. Magic coach Stan Van
Gundy said Barnes was “going to get his technical.” Whatever his goal, he
bumped into Memphis’ Hasheem Thabeet on the way and it turned into a melee
that looked a lot more serious than it actually was. Barnes and Thabeet
engaged in a shoving match that even involved the Grizzlies’ O.J. Mayo and
Magic pacifist Vince Carter.

3. @matt_barnes22 vs. Twitter

What Happened: Whether or not Barnes’ affinity for Twitter actually hurt his
relationship with the Magic, he certainly did some colorful Tweeting this
season. After a series of curse-filled Tweets this winter, Barnes was asked
to tone it down. “I thought you could say whatever you wanted,” Barnes said
after the edict.

When the Magic blew an 18-point lead to the New Orleans Hornets, Barnes
Tweeted “We [expletive] on the money 2nite magic fans. Sorry bout that we
back on the grind sunday.”

He expressed some thoughts about Lamar Odom on Twitter (more on that later)
and during his free agency Barnes Tweeted about the fact that the Magic hadn’
t offered him a contract. Asked if it bothered him, Magic GM Otis Smith
replied, sarcastically, that he wondered why Barnes hadn’t gotten an offer.

2. Matt Barnes vs. Kevin Garnett

What Happened: No, we’re not talking about the play where Barnes shoved
Garnett into Stan Van Gundy. This one’s about mind games.

Barnes gave the most amusing, illuminating and interesting quotes of any
Magic player last season and one of the best examples of that came during the
Eastern Conference Finals. A reporter from Boston asked him about an incident
with Kevin Garnett. It looked, from a distance, like Barnes was trying to
calm down Garnett, and Garnett didn’t take kindly to it. Barnes was asked if
he thought that was strange.

“I wasn’t trying to calm him down, I was messing with him,” Barnes replied.

Players play mind games often, but they don’t often admit to them. The play
in question:

1. Matt Barnes vs. Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers

What Happened: Barnes’ plan, as he guarded the man who will be his teammate
next season, was to make sure Bryant knew without a doubt that Barnes was not
afraid of him. From the beginning of the Lakers March 7 game in Orlando,
Barnes was physical and abrasive. He pushed Bryant and he faked inbounding
the ball at Bryant’s face (which you can watch in the video below). Bryant
still scored 34 points but made just 12 of 30 shots and missed a
buzzer-beater with Barnes in front of him. Orlando won, 96-94.

Of course, the verbal sparring continued after the game. Lakers forward Lamar
Odom called Barnes an “action figure” and said he needed some tights.
Bryant seemed to get a kick out of the whole thing. He chuckled and said
there was a big difference between Matt Barnes bumping him and Kenyon Martin
bumping him.

Then, after a subsequent Lakers game, Odom brought up Barnes again. “That
[expletive] that Matt Barnes pulled, that ain’t never going to happen again,
” he said.

Odom’s comment prompted the infamous diaper tweet in which Barnes said maybe
he needed to put his son’s — ahem — dirty diaper in Odom’s mouth to shut
him up.
