I'm not a big fan of using hindsight scouting, but in the case of the Los Angeles Lakers and Matt Barnes, it seems too important to pass up.
The Lakers, ever lacking on the defensive end and in terms of continuity as they put their team together, seem to be missing something in terms of dirty-work doers, an area where the Los Angeles Clippers are enjoying a rare embarrassment of riches.
Matt Barnes, a man who wanted to re-sign with the Lakers during the offseason, went off in the Clippers game against the Milwaukee Bucks, scoring 21 points, grabbing three rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block.
Barnes has played well enough all season long, as the Clippers forward continues to shoot well, scoring on a 47-percent clip while continuing to play fierce defense on the perimeter and dealing with bigger forwards in the post.
