Around SBN: Despite Relocation Drama, Coyotes Overcome Adversity

Carl Landry Takes Out a Laker Girl

... and not for a nice dinner.

 

Kelly Dwyer of BDL points out that it's dangerous to have so many unprotected people so close to the court with so many massive bodies flying around. I, for one, always cringe when players go leaping/stepping into/over rows of fans. Despite my team allegiances, I cringed on this one.

And on that note: what the efe are you doing, Matt Barnes? I know the Lakers and Kings go hard, even in the preseason; I remember Rick Fox getting taught a lesson by Doug Christie's fist and Shaq being assaulted by Jackie Christie's designer handbag. But seriously? Throwing a tied-up opponent out of bounds? Screw you, buddy.

(Wow, it took exactly one game as a Laker to tick off Kings fans. One game.)

I remember when

Barnes was a borderline college prospect / kid playing pick up games at Capital Christian’s Friday night open gym. You could tell he was a good kid who had good athletic ability and a solid head on his shoulders, as displayed when I intentionally fouled one of his buddies into the bleachers, after which he was very cool about, shrugging it off as part of the game and telling me “nice hustle, though…”
Anyways, I think he’s kind of fallen into this mentality over the last couple of years and its frustrating because I think he’s a better person than that. This type of display makes me wonder where his head is at lately, and what could have possibly changed him to be this way. Its one thing to f*%k with Kobe, (right?), but Carl Landry!? Matt, lose the chip son…

Funny you beat me to another way back when story...

I remember reffing a Summer League game at Del Campo high school and he kept dunking during the warm-ups which is a technical foul. I pulled him aside and said, “listen you are one of the best players in the gym, I appreciate your help in leading by example. You know you are not supposed to dunk the ball during warm ups and I don’t want to hear from the other coach that you should get a ‘T’.” He argued to me, “I am not touching the rim so it doesn’t count.” I told him just to stop doing it and he just gave me a dirty look and said “it was Summer League, so don’t worry about it.”

Later in the game, there was a play where he went to the rack out of control and there was some borderline contact but no foul call and he came yelling at me as we were running up the floor, “Where is my foul call, ref!” I quickly retorted, “It’s only Summer League, so don’t worry about it.”

That fall I was reffing football as a back judge and there was a play where Matt Barnes (who played Wide Receiver and Tight End for Del Campo) pushed the lil 5’8" corner out of the way to go up and catch the pass but he dropped the ball. Immediately he looked my direction not remembering our Summer League exchange and yelled “Where is my f$%king flag?!” I told him that he was the player that pushed off and if he did it again he would get his flag. He shook his head and trotted off back to the huddle.

The Coach Steve Kenyon was my high school coach back in the 80s and was a person whom I had a great deal of respect for so I went over to him and told him about the warning I gave Barnes and he nodded and said no problem.

A couple plays later Barnes ran a post route and blatantly arm barred the safety on his way up to catch the football and because he caught the ball by gaining an advantage, a couple of our flags came flying in. After double checking with the flank official I ran into the Referee and told him what I had. Knowing it was a big penalty I ran over to the sideline to tell the Coach what happened and could hear Barnes cussing at me for the call. Before I could report anything, Steve, yelled Shaffer, I saw the play, I don’t like the call but its the right call. Just make sure we get the same call. Then he yelled at Barnes saying, "The next time you don’t listen to the official(s) I am going to yank you out of the game. Barnes yelled back saying that I never said anything to him. Coach took him out of the game for that series.

I always watched Barnes, along his journey through the NBA and had mixed feelings because you want to root for a sactown story, but always knew him to be a spoiled brat/prima donna during his high school basketball and football days.

Sacto_J, the only reason why I can think he didn’t have much too say during your altercation is that he was a scrawny kid (albeit 6’7") and without his posse wasn’t about to puff on anyone tough.

Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.

Barnes has been a scumbag for a long time.

In 2002, Cal was whupping up on UCLA. With just over two minutes left in a game they were CLEARLY going to lose, Barnes gave a blind elbow/forearm to Cal guard Shantay Legans head. Legans laid on the floor for a couple of minutes completely unconscious. He suffered a concussion and missed his next game. Barnes was given the NCAA mandatory one game suspension. I swear, I thought the Hass (Cal) crowd was going to kill him.

He is a sleazy dude. Who cares if he is from Sacramento?

Honestly, out of all the comments you’re going to single out this one? Why? Because of the clear pattern that Phil Jackson has of getting players who get under the oppositions skin? I’m not saying that Phil Jackson told Barnes to do that, I’m not saying that it’s coached. I am saying that it is a distinct characteristic of his teams and, quite frankly, and effective aspect of his style. I despise the Lakers, but if the tables had been turned I would be just as critical of Barnes.

If Phil Jackson is clever enough to sign players that throw other teams' players off their games...

Well, maybe the other teams ought to try and sign guys like Carl Landry who won’t take the bait.

If your opponent’s tactics distract you, that is completely on you. This has nothing to do with Jackson, and everything to do with how Barnes plays. You were the one that brought Phil into this, and it’s been years since I read anything about how dirty, excuse me, aggressive, Jerry Sloan’s teams play. I suppose Popovich keeping Bowen on the roster all those seasons will probably come up the next time a Sacramento player trips over Tim Duncan’s leg and sprains a wrist.

I completely agree that teams need guys like Landry that have restraint. I honestly believe that the reason we lost to the Lakers in the WCF was because we allowed them, along with poor officiating, to get into our heads. It destroys a teams chances. Jerry Sloan is a tough man and you can see it in the physicality and sometimes dirty play of his teams. All I am saying is look at Jackson’s history of hot headed players. Not just the Lakers, but Phil Jackson coached teams. I give him credit for being a good strategist and motivator (dude has 11 rings) and part of that is that he has guys like Barnes or Fox to throw off teams that are susceptible to the mental aspect of the game. However, that doesn’t mean I have to like the strategy or act like it’s not a trend.

OK, and also, pretty much unrelated, but I cringe every time I hear “Laker girl”. I mean, god, how sexist can you get? They are not girls. They are women. Stop trivializing them. Ugh.

Interesting

Obviously the only reason a woman would have issues with the lack of equality amongst men and women is that she “doesn’t have a man”. Yeah. Very original! I do happen to be single right now, but it was my choice. My boyfriend decided to teach English in China for 10+ months and while he wanted us to stay together I told him it made far more sense to “take a break” (hate that term, but whatever) and see where we are when he gets back. He might want to teach abroad again or he may want to stay here. Either way, we’ll figure it out when the time comes.

We had (and may possibly have again) a great relationship based on mutual respect and trust. Neither of us was “up on a pedestal” to the other. We’re both fully aware that as humans, neither of us are perfect and we WILL make mistakes.

So yeah… your awesome, sexist little remarks about how I must just be annoyed because I don’t have a man couldn’t be less true. I was just as into feminism when I was in a relationship as I am now.

Ironic, hypocritical, shortsighted

Are words that come to first thought when I see someone fighting against sexism, and complain about the trivialization of women, only to find that the complaint is regarding using “girl” instead of “women”.

There are legitimate remarks to be made of sexism on StR or sports as a whole. Bone-picking about something insignificant that goes both ways (how many times have you heard women call a group of guys “the boys”), is in fact trivializing the feminist movement. As a male with two younger sisters, nine younger female cousins, and the only boy (am I demeaning myself?) in the immediate family, I find your argument/statements to be a disservice to feminism and something I find important.

Agreed with Cab.

It’s important to pick the fights that matter, and not trivialize things that have very little significance (including the women who are being called “girls” in this context) in the grand scheme of things.

I’ve said it before: Noone is equal to anyone. Therefore, equality is really a placebo. Equal Rights? Now, we’re talkin. But, the right to be called something “preferable”? Bleh, forget it. That will never happen.

65%

That’s the ratio of people on this board which I estimate would defend Barnes and rationalize a play like this had he been wearing a Kings jersey.

It was a shit move on Barnes part, and be advised, it has nothing to do with anything he may or not have been charged with over the summer, and less to do with where he signed to play basketball. Do you not understand capitalism? Laker money spends just fine, and apparently, they offered Barnes more of it than anyone else, including a team up north who could really use a solid defending shooter at the 2 & 3.

The holier-than-thou-ness on display here is nearly as bad as Barnes’ cheap shot. I commend Carl for keeping his cool, even if getting flung into the stands pales in comparison with getting shot in the leg.

I wonder which one of Phil Jackson’s guys pulled the trigger, DON’T YOU?

As a player, if you join the Lakers, and you make a dick move against the Kings, guess what? You are going to get some deserved, AND some undeserved flack from StR. Big deal. 99% is in good fun, and Barnes’ attitude, and the team he signed with make him an easy target. Who cares.

I wouldn't say this particular play was unprovoked.

but the part I don’t like is that in the video, and from what I have read of the discussion around the web, everyone (other than those in this post) seems to be talking about it as if Landry simply fell as a result of being innocently tangled up, not that he was thrown.

Bounce a ball into the stands, get ejected/fined/T’d up. Toss a player into a sideline dancer, get nothing. I don’t know if this deserves punishment outside of a technical, but it seems odd.

My opinion

when guys are marginal rotation players, like Barnes, a lot of them resort to the enforcer roll if it helps them stay in the league. Examples, Fox and Horry,both got dirtier as theire talent grew less, (yes I know they’re both L****s but that’s not the point). Bruce Bowen (sp) also got dirtier each year.

There are some guys smarter than me, some guys better looking, I take comfort in the fact that there is no guy that is both.

I like Matt Barnes

Even when he was on the Kings squad, but to try and start shit with Landry? 1 game indeed to piss off Kings fans(he pissed me off when he joined the @#$%*!). Matt was just fustrated because he wasn’t able to box out Landry.

I'm wondering -

How many people outside of Sacramento know that he’s from Sacramento – or give a sh*t about it? Barnes went to my high school, yet his actions really don’t impact my self esteem in any way, shape or form. Weird.

I have kind of a similar thing

Aaron Rodgers went to my high school. Not when I was there (missed him by one stupid year) but while I know it and think it’s pretty cool (which it totally is) but pretty much no one else knows where he’s from and no one cares. Of course, he’s a class act and much more known than Barnes, but ya know.

I suppose the triple cocktail of homerism, hypersensitivity, and inferiority complex just doesn't pack the intoxicating punch it once did.

That and fighting the urge to assist people with grammatical problems, I guess.

I like our team. It will be better than the Lakers them exact moment that it is better than the Lakers. Until then, the Lakers will have a better ball club. There was a definite screw job back in 2002, but it has nothing to do with the current state of affairs with these two teams, or any of the other ones. Barnes got away with one, but that’s just bad officiating.

Can anyone tell what Matt Barnes said right before the clip ends?

It seems like it’s “______ bitch.” Maybe “stupid bitch”? His lips aren’t quite as easy to read as Tim Lincecum’s.

It looks like he said it in response to something Carl said. (Or maybe he was addressing the Laker Girl. One can never be too sure with Barnes.)

Lay off Landry

Just like every other Kings fan I was delighted to watch Barnes go off on Kobe last year, but the dude needs to chill out. Everyone would quickly point to Ron Artest as the craziest Laker, but it’s not even close. It’s Matt Barnes.

Looks like Matt Barnes is an ideal pickup for the Lakers

Has toughness, can shoot the 3, play some small ball, defend a couple of positions, doesn’t have to be the star but can occasionally throw up strong second fiddle numbers. Kind of like adding another Artest with a slightly different skill set to the mix.

"I know we certainly gave up a lot to get him, but we do have other players on the perimeter who we can plug in. We haven’t had anybody who we feel is a go-to guy in the post. So we gave up a lot to get a lot, and we’re real excited about adding Carl." - Paul Westphal
