I think he is overly tired and definately still needs a nap. Sleeping is vital to a toddlers growth. A two year old doesn't know whats good for them. My daughter was the same way. She would put up a huge fight, but she's six now and just starting to stop taking an afternoon nap. Maybe call it rest time and let him look at a book, or watch something soothing, afterall you probably need the break just as much as he does.
