Matt Barnes took over the spot left vacant by Allan Houston in just one game.
Derek Anderson and Nick Van Exel have no complaints about it, knowing well that they can't bring the same defensive energy as Matt Barnes.
However, after this game, some media critiqued Matt Barnes.
LeBron James' mouthpiece Dave McMenamin was one of the harshest critics.
"Matt Barnes is nothing but a despicable thug, and his dirty moves cannot be simply covered up as 'will to win.' In just about 20 minutes of play, he got four fouls, each one of which would constitute deliberate murder on the street. Roger's decision to include such a person in the Warriors' main rotation is a blasphemy against basketball."
Fortunately, Roger and Barnes don't care about these bad reputations.
Although Matt Barnes is a bully, he almost never makes those malicious injuring actions.
