Jerry Stackhouse Wants to Fight Byron Scott

For all those Mavericks fans who have pined for some player in Dallas blue to, um, "step up" and take the fight straight at New Orleans ... we have your man. In a radio interview documented by writer Jeff Kaplan for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's blog (via HoopsHype), Jerry Stackhouse hands out some vicious words on Hornets coach Byron Scott.

    "I don't think Byron Scott is the best coach or I don't think he's the best guy to deal with -- you know what I'm sayin? -- from some things that I've heard from other players and just some dealings that I had with him earlier in the season. I was about ready to kick his ass -- you know what I'm sayin? He was sitting on the sideline and we just got into a little conversation or something and he was going to tell me, you know, 'Talk to me when you get a ring.' I was like, I told that fool, 'If I played with Magic and Worthy and Kareem I'd have a ring, too. So, you know, he's a sucker in my book, but that's a whole other story."

Saying Scott has a reputation as a hard-ass is one thing; talking about kicking his ass? Calling him a sucker? And come on: Scott was a starter on three title teams in the '80s. He isn't exactly Antoine Walker 2006 or Ira Newble/Brian Scalabrine 2008 Melvin Ely 2007.

But hey, whatever gets Stack fired up, right? 18 points in 53 playoff minutes on 31% shooting is boring, man. I'm just glad the league's at a place in which the Byron-Jason Kidd feud in New Jersey circa 2003 could spill into a Western Conference playoff battle in 2008.
