Matt Barnes Reminded a Heckler That Derek Fisher "Got His Ass Beat"
By Kyle Koster
A heckler in Boston tried to get inside Matt Barnes’ head with the most obvious material available. The Memphis Grizzlies forward had a quick response.
Fan yelled at Matt Barnes: "How's Derek Fisher?" Barnes replied "He got his ass whooped, that's how." (via @Marc_DAmico)

The original tweet from Marc D’Amico was deleted but, as always, not before screengrabs could be captured.
Barnes was suspended two games by the NBA for his role in a physical altercation with Derek Fisher. More specifically, that role was driving 95 miles to confront the then-New York Knicks coach at a bonfire.
Barnes hasn’t shied away from referencing either the incident or his feelings toward Fisher on social media or in interviews. Now we know he’ll hold nothing back if quizzed by an obnoxious fan.
