Kendrick Perkins' recent beef with JJ Redick

Kendrick Perkins has also been in the headlines as he battled his colleague JJ Redick regarding the sharpshooter's take on the Golden State Warriors-Sacramento Kings series. According to Redick, the referees are determining the outcomes of the games by not giving the Warriors their respective fouls.

"The referees have dictated too much in the Kings’ favor in the series," Redick said. "I really believe that, and I don’t know if it’s the home crowd or whatever. I rarely complain about the referees. In fact, I don’t know if I’ve ever complained about the referees. I think they're great.

"But if (the Warriors are) going to come back in this series, they gotta call the game the way the game's supposed to be called."

Although there were several instances of missed calls, with the numbers being very similar in regards to fouls called on each team, Kendrick Perkins isn't buying it. He fired back at Redick on Twitter, saying:
