Lakers vs Mavericks? No, no, no, it's really Jason Terry vs Matt Barnes.

Two days ago, the Lakers and Mavericks played an incredibly important game that would more than likely determine the future seeding in the Western Conference. The Lakers absolutely demolished the Mavericks, supposedly their strongest competition, by 28 points, while also holding Jason Terry to 2-10 shooting whereas Lamar Odom at one point scored 3 3-pointers in a row. During the game, Jason Terry shoved Steve Blake after a hard foul and the two had a minor altercation that was little more than barking at each other. Matt Barnes came in and tried to shove Terry, but was stopped a by a referee and later involved Brandon Haywood trying to stick up for Terry against Barnes. All four players were ejected, Terry receiving a flagrant-2 foul which allowed the Lakers an opportunity for 3 free throws. In the aftermath, Barnes was suspended for a game for escalating the situation.

After all was said and done, Chris Webber took an opportunity to dig in to the Mavericks and lambast them for being such a soft team that their 6th man, a Guard, had to be the one to show physicality, but it was when the Mavs were losing by 20 points. Because of Terry's awful shooting night and the Mavericks poor performance, it was easily viewed that Terry was incredibly mad that he and his team were vastly outplayed and outclassed with no hope of ever defeating the Lakers in a 7-game series. Later, Kobe responded to a comment Jason Terry made about Kobe not being able to keep up with Dallas' younger guards. Kobe responded along the lines that Terry's hopes of becoming a TV analyst are over after making such a ridiculous statement.

Of course, Jason Terry didn't learn how to shut up and decided to just fan the flames. Terry publicly called out Barnes and said, "I call Barnes the Charminator. You know what that is? That is a guy that's soft as Charmin' toilet paper. It's not only that he's a Pac-10 guy and he's a Bruin, and so you know we hate those guys -- us Wildcats, we hate Bruins. I don't care who you are. Whenever you don that uniform, I can't stand you, other than Reggie Miller. Barnes, I remember you when you were at Golden State, you're a journeyman. You put on that Laker uniform and you turn into Jerry West, Kareem, and Worthy, and Magic. Those are the real Lakers, not Barnes."

Barnes' response? "I'm not worried about what he's talking about. In Golden State we showed how to beat Dallas. You take it right to their chin and they back down. I don't see that nothing's changed since then so hopefully we see them again."

In case you have forgotten or are not aware dear reader, the #8 seed Golden State Warriors defeated the #1 seed Dallas Mavericks in the 2007 playoffs to become the first #8 seed to ever defeat a #1 seed in NBA playoff history.

tl;dr

Jason Terry is extremely butthurt that Dallas was shitrolled by the Lakers, so much so that he has to let everyone know how much his ass hurts.
