Matt Barnes Fought Derek Fisher at Ex-Wife's Home

Wow- that is pretty crazy stuff. Clippers dodged a bullet there by trading Matt Barnes in the off-season because who knows how many games he will be suspended by the NBA for this incident.

I'm gonna miss Matt.

Derek Fisher is a c*nt. Always has been, always will be...

Flopper extraordinaire, fired as president of the players union for stiffing players to line his own pockets and now moving in on a former teammate's wife before the sheets are cold. I hope she gave him crabs.

Without Matt's permission Fisher should have never been there. In a sane world Matt should be applauded for having self respect.In some countries Fisher would have been shot. I LOVE YOU MATT. I want you back.

I don't know what the relationship between the two was when they played for Lakers but my first thought was who cares, she's an x. Then I thought well he may not want him around his sons since Matt is so close to his bois. Anyways, Matt is being Matt!

F*#! A douchebag fish. Matt has my support for putting his hands on him.

This has ick factor written all over it. I don't blame Matt for doing what he did. He and Gloria were friends with Fish and his wife, apparently going on double dates and stuff so it seems there was real friendship there. Gloria doesn't seem to have a lick of common sense though for having a new boyfriend be around her boys at her house at this stage. Fish isn't even divorced yet, though he filed for divorce in March according to some articles I read.

I wonder what the league is gonna do about this.

I liked Barnes but I can't support what he did there at all. What kind of example is he setting for his kids going like a maniac to fight someone dating an ex? Seriously the guy needs to grow up- what he did sounded like some stupid high school bush league crap.

Though I do agree that he should contain it in front of his kids; I'd have to believe that is easier said than done. We are also not talking about high school stuff, that is the mother of his kids with what was supposed to be a friend. I would have to say his ex is jacked up too, but that doesn't help calm the storm.

Fisher is such a scumbag. You can put him on a suit by the sidelines but he's still the same AHOLE! Go Barnes go

This was unnecessary. I'm a huge Matt Barnes fan but I think he over reacted a ltitle too much. I mean she didn't really do anything wrong. Wasn't he out trying to get at Rihanna? Haha I'm just glad it didn't happen while he was wearing a clipper jersey.

Fisher is a NBA coach and in no way should he be getting involved with a players wife (A) while he is till married and (B) while she is still married to the player. There has got to be some sort of coaches etiquette in those contracts.

Teammates on the lakers have said Matt barnes and fisher were really close...

You think it's ok to be screwing your close friends wife/ex while he is going through a bitter divorce??

What the hell type of moral standard is this?

Since the team is playing so poorly, my beliefs are, Doc's comments was Food for Thought for the team Because there is so much talent on the team, don't take your foot off the gas pedal.

I'm so focused on this season I haven't thought of failure.

Facts of the case: Barnes is out of town and comes running back to "ESTRANGED" wife. Barnes had known about the relationship between estranged with and Fisher for over a month. She and Fisher are found in the back yard.If Fisher and Barnes' estranged wife want to have a relatiionship, they have every right to do so, even if it smells of bad taste.

Verdict: Barnes is a nut job with a temper he cannot manage, on the court or off of it. Glad we got rid of him when we did...

Wow really? So you think it's ok to sleep with your close friends ex-wife?

When they have broken up and the two of you have fallen in love. Yes, absolutely.

If they found love and Barnes were truly a friend and cared about both, it may hurt like hell, but he should be happy for them.

Do you go around beating up your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriends? I suspect you wouldn't do it, even if he were a friend of yours. A grownup would swallow his hurt and wish them well.

Derek is a coach who should have been concentrating on his poor performing team instead of visiting his friend's estranged wife. As a woman, I cannot condom what he did. There is a code among women, you do not date your family or friends partner or spouse. Of course there are exceptions for those who have no morals (like Gloria). I don't believe Matt would have done what he did if it had not been someone he had a close relationship with.

Personally I like Matt. I hope this won't affect his performance on the court and will allow him time to sit back and reflect how he could have handled this situation better. As far as for Derek, this shows how a position can change a person. File a divorce from his wife and start a new relationship. Would he have done this if he was not a coach and would she have become involved with him if he wasn't. We'll never know. I do know this brawl did not help anyone's reputation and unfortunately the kids will suffer from the scandle.

LOL. Bro I can't co-sign no mess like this. I guess some people just operate off different moral codes.

The 2 have "fallen in love". Give me a break. That's a load of crap.

As a woman, I cannot condom what he did. There is a code among women, you do not date your family or friends partner or spouse.

That's not just a code among women. It's a code among Decent Human beings. As a friend you've been side eyeing my wife the whole time? That's crazy. Then the question is were you doing this behind my back the whole time?

Where I'm from Loyalty until death, so it's not even a question if I would ever do this to one of my friends.

Seriously. There are so friggin' many hot women who want to date successful men that you can find someone outside your friend's circle. A friend of mine broke up with a famous porn star and she started hanging out with me. I never touched her. That is what civilized people do. BTW, me and that guy are still besties.

So you have information that the relationship Fisher and Barnes' ex wasn't serious? Matt Barnes and his ex had broken up. She had chosen to move forward with her life without him. Barnes had no business at all showing up and confronting anyone she chose to date. Anyone, friend or stranger. Barnes is certainly welcome to drop Fisher as a friend. He is welcome to hate him until the day he dies for that betrayal of their friendship, but what happened between Fisher and Barnes' ex is no longer his business.

Stalking one's ex or interfering in her life in many cases is a crime. Dating a friend's ex-wife may be in bad taste, but it isn't in any way illegal. Barnes was the one in the wrong here. Clearly. A man must respect a woman's choice.

Like i said man that's fine. We just have different moral codes.

Its not Barnes EX they are still married and they have young children who CALLED him and was upset according to Barnes. I'm sure its quite confusing to some kids who saw mommie and daddys friends Derrick and his WIFE come by all the time and now you see Derrick is feeling up mommie in the backyard.

LOL as long as those kids are minors the people she brings around his kids will be his business.

Like i said man that's fine. We just have different moral codes.

I don't think we have different moral codes. We just have different points of view. If a buddy of mine started messing around with my ex, I'd be pretty pissed about it, but showing up looking for trouble wouldn't do anyone any good. I'd be pushing for the two of them to fall in love and get married so she'd be off my alimony bills.

That's not confusing, it's downright traumatic for those kids. Which is why they called their dad.

It's going to create all types of trust issues in the children's pysche going forward.

Matt barnes should have kicked his all the way back to new york

Ok read this and come back and tell me you still have the same position. I'm assuming you just haven't heard the full story.

Bottom line is that Matt's kids were affected by Derek's presence in the house. Gloria and Derek should have known that from the start. I don't blame Matt for checking in with his kids to see if they were okay and while I understand his being upset that Derek was there, Matt ought to have shown restraint as an adult and not start a fight with Derek. Reports say Matt started the altercation and that he spit in his wife's face. Not sure how true this is, but, if it is, man, Matt certainly made things worse. He wasn't exactly a role model for the right way to resolve a conflict in front of his kids. All the adults failed.

I think the point was when I read the details Matt was unaware that his ex and Fisher had been seeing each other for sometime. It was longer than he thought. So if Fisher is your friend/buddy and pretending to play a dad role in your absence, I can see how tempers can fly. Matt is crazy for his sons, he's a hot head. I just hope his sons didn't see this attack. There was a comment made on BR forum about Fisher finally learning the triangle it was so hilarious!

Great joke. It sounds like there is way too much unknown about this for us to comment intelligently. But, that has never stopped me before.

glad neither of them are on the clippers...sh#@$%!(*&&^# can anybody say ghetto!!!!

It's real easy for people to talk bad about how he reacted, but put in the same shoes I'd like to see them do any better. There are a lot of emotions going on there and it is very unfair to judge.

Unless it's against the Clips guys like Barnes, Reggie, Butler and the older guys like Cassell, Corey, etc... get my support.

Last I heard, Matt isn't going to be charged for the altercation. Good thing for him. He sure doesn't need any more added drama in his life. I wonder if the league will do anything about it though.
