I can't remember if he was injured or what the reason he wasn't on the court, if he's there maybe the situation never happens. In locker rooms if you have a volatile guy like Dray you need a more even tempered personality that is equally respected to balance that out. Dray was used to barking and everybody getting scared, KD was the first person to challenge him and he didn't handle it well. Like I've said in the past you don't call another grown man a "b.a.n." and not throw hands or apologize and think it will ever be good regardless of what anyone says.
