Mavs' Carlisle on Barea ejection: Griffin's 'cat that ate the canary smile' tells the story of that play

Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea is listed, generously it seems, as being a 6-0, 185-pounder, on Dallas' roster.

Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin is 6-10, 251 and known to dunk over cars or whatever is in his way.

So naturally, when things got a little chippy between Barea and Griffin during Thursday night's Mavs-Clippers game at the AAA, Barea got hit with a flagrant 2 foul and was ejected.

Check out this video, in which Barea got bumped around between two Clippers players (one being Griffin) and then retaliated, shoving Griffin to the floor.
