Tony Allen doesn't start a lot of the beefs he's involved in, but he does finish them. Just ask O.J. Mayo.
While Allen, a Chicago native and one of the few players in the NBA who actually will throw hands if it comes down to it, delivered the hardest blow in a war of words between the Clippers and the Grizzlies that began on social media, teling the Commercial Appeal, "You ever seen the movie 'White Men Can’t Jump'? It’s like those bothers would rather look good in a loss and look bad in a win.Whoever is in charge of their Twitter should be fired. I’ve never seen anybody broadcast losing. Who’s proud of losing -- whether it’s by one, two three or 50? Enough said."

It all started with this Tweet early Thursday morning from the Clippers official account.
Final from Oakland... GSW 112 LAC 108 #didntloseby50

The closing hashtag was a not-so-subtle reference to the Grizzlies' 119-69 loss to the defending champs Monday night.
It's real in these Twitter streets. The back and forth is something Allen likely won't forget when the Grizz and Clips meet Monday at Staples Center.
But really all it shows is the Warriors own both teams.
