Byron Scott is all hot and bothered about something
Not sure what exactly the Mavs did to get under New Orleans coach Byron Scott's skin, but he was pretty perturbed about tonight's game.
"I think the way they kind of acted when they were playing tonight, I think that we should have a little more fire in our belly for Sunday's game, you know with all the antics they were doing," Scott said. "Rubbing it in, showing off, I don't know what you want to call it. But all those antics, I am old school and it didn't sit well with me, and I hope it didn't sit well with our guys."
Perhaps Scott was miffed at Antoine Wright, who had to be separated from Hornets swingman James Posey in the first quarter.
I would wonder if this is a continuation of Scott's beef with Jerry Stackhouse, but I doubt that Stack did too much trash talking while wearing a suit on the bench.
Whatever it was, the fact that the Mavs are carrying themselves with some swagger ought to sit well with MFFLs
