When Rudy Tomjanovich saw the Warriors use Matt Barnes to replace Jason Richardson, he waved a big hand: "Double team!"
Seeing Matt Barnes on the court, the on-site commentator Al Michaels exclaimed in surprise: "Matt? According to the information, he only played 38 official games with the Los Angeles Clippers last season and was cut for getting into a fight with coach Mike Dunleavy. After the Warriors traded away Allan Houston, I thought I might see either Derek Anderson or Nick Van Exel on the court."
Matt Barnes looked up at the stands and found that most Warrior fans were staring at him in confusion.
They couldn't understand why the team would put such a guy on the court. Matt Barnes was familiar with that look; he used to experience it when attending a predominantly white high school, playing basketball while people around him watched him with that same gaze.
So he's used to it, fuck it, you can watch however you want, I just want to grab the bone to eat!
