Harrison Barnes must really dislike Lakers fans from the Bay.

Over the weekend, Barnes questioned the loyalty of some Warriors fans, proclaiming that a few years ago those same fans were Lakers fans in the playoffs, according to Diamond Leung of the Bay Area News Group:

This isn't the first time Barnes has called out Warriors fans in relation to their Lakers counterparts.

A couple years ago, after a big home win against the Lakers, Barnes took as hot at Warriors fans, calling it the win "big road game."

Warriors fans are considered among the most loyal in the NBA, as even when the team was terrible, Oracle Arena still ranked near the top of the league in attendance. You don't get the nickname Roaracle for no reason.

It'll be interesting to monitor how these comments and Barnes' hard-line stance on his contract extension with the Dubs affect his standing with the team's fans, if at all.
