Matt Barnes is very sorry about what he did last night both during and after the Clippers game against the Thunder. Very, very, very, very, very, very, very sorry. That's seven "verys"—one for each tweet that Barnes just sent out as part of his incredibly lengthy Twitter apology. He apologized both for pushing Serge Ibaka during the game and getting ejectedand for sending out a tweet about how he's not going to defend his teammates on the court anymore. Here's what he had to say:
I'd like to take a second to apologize to the #LACorganization, my #Teammates & #CoachingStaff & the #ClipFans.. For my actions "cont"
Not only on the court, but off.. I was completely wrong for pushing Ibaka & then for what I tweeted following the altercation.. "Cont"
I've been doing this for to long to let my emotions get the best of me.. My poor choice of words & timing do not reflect "cont"
Who or what I am about.. It was very selfish on my part to make this situation about me instead of my teammates that fought their "cont"
Hearts out & earned a big win against a tough okc team.. Now I could have took the easy way out & said, "My twitter was hacked" "cont"
But that's not what I'm about, I except full responsibility for all my inappropriate action last night & I am truly sorry!
My bad *accept*
Sounds like someone doesn't want to get fined too harshly by the NBA, eh? It also sounds like someone probably got an earful from Doc Rivers today. At any rate, Barnes is sorry. You know, just in case those seven tweets didn't get his point across.
