Matt Barnes: It's Getting Ugly in Here

When asked about relations between the Mavs and Warriors, Matty Barnes had this to say (from Mercury News):

"The bottom line is, we don't like each other," Warriors forward Matt Barnes said. "We don't like them, they don't like us. It's going to get chippy, there's going to be hard fouls and that's the way we like to play."

I love this kind of mean spirited trash talk. Matt Barnes deserves special recognition for how he's played in this series. He's been phenomenal. Clearly Baron is the MVP, but Barnes has been the lightning rod, the intangibles factory, and the clutch-shot machine for the Warriors.
Add tattooed, ass whooping, Dirk dominating, destroyer to that list.

Bogut: Unrated Edition

Whoah, did anyone else see that coming? I thought Andrew Bogut was one of those Vegemite sandwich toting friendly Aussies, like out of a Men at Work song. Turns out he's one of those angry rugby playing, foul mouthed, bird flipping Aussie dudes who may or may not be a skin head. Bogut apparently gave the crowd an eyeful of his lewd gesturing after getting ejected with 48 seconds to go in a pwning by the Raptors. Bogut nearly sends Bosh flying. It took me a few minutes to notice the most important detail: it was a home game in Milwaukee! I used to consider Bogut a bit of a softy, but back it up, dude's a straight up gangster. Flipping off the home crowd? That's some cold blooded shit. I love it. He's like a punk rock Sheed.

See the foul here. It's pretty mean spirited and nasty. From what I can tell, the camera cuts back to the court just as Bogut's about to commit the finger faux pas:
