Eye on Basketball Podcast: I've been hit harder than that

It's time to put up your dukes! Matt Moore joins me to get into the hilarious kerfuffle between Minnesota Timberwolves backup guard J.J. Barea and Miami Heat sharpshooter Ray Allen from Monday night's game. Did Barea deserve the Flagrant 2 foul and ejection? Did Ray Allen overreact or was Barea out of line? Is the officiating in the NBA much worse this season than years past? And how funny were Barea's comments after the game?

We also talk about the Denver Nuggets' win over the Atlanta Hawks. Which player was Anthony Tolliver trying to explain the Billy Hunter stuff to? How were the Nuggets in the locker room after the game? Are teams amazed the Los Angeles Lakers might pull this whole season together and find their way into the playoffs?

This show discusses all of that, plus Doug Collins's job description, which fans still send letters, and preview Tuesday night's games.
