Explain why he's a jerk??
If you're talking about the fact that he got thrown out of last night's game, well.................
First off, he should NOT have received that first technical foul during that skirmish early in the game. He did nothing to earn it. He was actually trying to be a peacemaker. That obviously pissed him off and threw him off his game. The second technical was for showing up the refs after an obvious hard foul under the basket in the 3rd quarter. The first technical preceded that ejection and he was showing his frustration.
Bottom line? The Warriors know how to play the Mavericks. Season record including playoffs against the Mavs so far?? 4 wins and last nights loss. You better believe that the NBA ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT want the Mavericks losing in the first round. I'm VERY curious to see how this officiating goes for the rest of the series.
Baron Davis is not a jerk. He plays hard and plays through injuries. An excellent player.
