Matt Barnes has had a rough couple of months.
His marriage is falling apart, he has been lashing out at his soon to be ex-wife on her parenting skills via social media and he has a very short fuse on the court lately.
The NBA fined him $25k for allegedly cursing at a fan, but he says there is a lot more to the story.
Another 25k! The part of the story the nba hasn't told you was my language wasnt directed at a fan, I was talkn to the owner of the Suns….

NBA might fine him for the Twitter rant, but if what he is saying is accurate I can see why he is upset.
