Matt Barnes’ Grizzlies host Derek Fisher’s Knicks tomorrow.
Just don’t expect Barnes – who was suspended two games for fighting Fisher in a domestic-violence incident – to roll out a welcome mat.
Or speak with Fisher at all.
Stefan Bondy of the New York Daily News:
“I don’t talk to snakes,” Barnes told the Daily News.
“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.”
Barnes apparently continues to blame Fisher for telling. As if reporting violent behavior, not the violent behavior itself, is the problem.
It might not be for a good reason, but at least Barnes not talking to Fisher is a step toward handling this better.
