Say it isn't true Matt!

I thought the same thing and was initially worried that he had said HE threw the haymaker, but the conversation at the end seems to indicate it was Barnes. Still throwing punches or not, again, you just cannot have the franchise getting hurt or tarnished for such things. That's what you have thugs around to do -- do thug things. But they have to keep it in house. Helps the ole intimidation factor.
acting before we know what the hell truly went on, for one.
Cuz seems to be talking like all he saw was some dude trying to choke Barnes, and Barnes throwing a haymaker at him. Who knows with the initial incident. I think it can be assumed that Matt did not just walk into the bar, pick out a random woman, and start choking her. So who knows what happened at this point. Unfortunately I would imagine the 1-11 struggle and Derek Fisher antics and Garden crowd taunting may have warmed this situation up.

Yeah not a good look for a team trying to turn itself around, getting closer and closer to that blow it up point. This type of situation sure doesn't help trade value and this isn't the first time Cuz has been involved in an altercation at a night club/bar, the one with he and his brother in Tampa got swept under the rug a little bit... lets hope this one does too.
The one with his brother got swept under because there was footage showing that Cuz didn't do anything and got pulled away as his idiot brother was getting tazed.
If Cuz did throw a punch in this one it will be an entirely different reaction. Half the people out there are still convinced Cuz is a thug anyway because he argues on court, and that scares their poor little sensibilities. If Matt Barnes comes to town and creates a situation that will confirm those prejudices for so many, he can go **** himself.

Cuz has a little track record now when it comes to these things, Didn't Cuz throw a punch at Donte Green? Or the incident with O.J Mayo where he chased him down looking for a fight? and We all know Barnes's history. There might have been more but bottomline as the franchise player coming off close losses on a team trying to turn it around being out late night with another person who also has temperament issues was probably not the best idea. Having a guy like Matt Barnes around an organization that isn't stable might have been the biggest mistake this off season.
We have time to turn it around but what would be a double whammy is Cuz tanking his trade value right as we are pinned into having to trade him, teams are already circling like vultures trying to rob us, crap like this only feeds the notion that he can be had for peanuts and that hurts the team in the long haul.
Again lets hope details come out that Cuz and Barnes were only defending themselves but with both of there respective histories I'm not holding out any hope.
