Matt Barnes chokes out Greg Stiemsma

[OceanSpray]

Most people on this site claim the league is too soft. We got guys like Perkins, Cuz, Barnes, etc tryin to make it not so soft. And you guys ***** about it. Pick the nba you want. buddy-buddy or real emotion?

Coming from the guy with a Demarcus Cousins avatar. There's a huge difference between playing competitive and playing dirty. I didn't see anything wrong with the pick Stiemsma set. The guy is just a pathetic loser!

Should be suspended at least 10 games.

Caron Butler also choking out Stiemsma last night.

Also for those thinking it was just a random fit of rage.

"He hit me with a couple of dirty picks early on and I told him to watch it, then he laughed and he hit me with another one," Barnes said. "I kind of lost my control, which I apologized to the team for. There's no excuse for that, but luckily it sparked the team."

Everyone *****ing about Barnes. Shut up. You would love to have a guy like him on your team. I know I would.

Ya probably but the fact is he's not so he's a punk *****, lol

Stiemsma is pretty gay for not stepping up. Barnes is crazy but if you're going to take cheap shots be prepared to back it up......

It's called being smart. Why would he retaliate just to get in trouble?

Actually it was Barnes that retaliated, Stiemsma was playing dirty the entire game. As later evidenced by Butler running up on him.

Nice facepalm btw, didn't know we still did that.........

Stiemsa got some back on Hill. Barnes has alot of hatred in him. But he can channel that energy and be a good spark off the bench

Nothing remotely malicious on Hill. Barnes straight up went add Greg for no reason. The dude is a punk, face it.

why bother? Let the dude get kicked out and get some FT's. Steamer isn't a dirty player, he is a physical player. I have never seen him take a cheap shot on anyone or have a malicious foul while in a Wolves uniform.

If Barnes thinks Greg sets dirty picks, he must think 80% of the big men in the league do it as well. Its called a screen dude, either get around it, or go under it.

My sister's boyfriend was on Stiemsma's team in high school, **** you matt barnes!

Hawkeye no offense but you don't hear or see all the subtle things happening on the court. Barnes no doubt has a short fuse and can be a dick but he hasn't done something like this all year so I doubt it was unprovoked. I'm going to take his word that they had a few dust ups earlier and that he was instigated. He had a lot of anger behind that shove so it was clearly built up.

It's okay though the Clippers had the last laugh, so nothing to worry about. Not only did the Clippers manhandle the Wolves in these scuffles but they won the game. Stiemsma had the stupidity to flagrantly foul 40 year old Hill who's a highly respected vet who didn't do or say anything to him. So nothing brought me more joy than Caron snatching him up around the throat.

That's their fault for not being able to control their temper over being smart. I don't see how Barnes retaliated, its not like Stiemsma did any of that on purpose, Barnes obviously started it.

Thanks for the feedback on the facepalm. It is greatly appreciated.
