Barkley Calls Us Out

[Boss_]

I listened to his garbag e a few weeks back. This from a guy who never won anything oh wait he did beat a referee in a race.

Eleven all star appearances, inducted into the hall of fame, a most valuable player award, two olympic gold medals.

meh, Charles doesn't actually know the NBA. he just is there because he's got a big mouth and says outrageous things. he's entertainment, not analysis. i find him kind of funny most of the time, so he's fine. i just don't pay attention to any of his opinions on the NBA.

OK, Beavis, keep making foolish comments.

Of course Sir Charles knows the NBA, pretending he doesn't is dumb.

Nothing about Charles' comments were crazy. Does anybody think we'll win 72? Nobody reasonable. Does anybody reasonable compare us to the Bulls? Uh, no (ESPN is not reasonable).

Truth is, we have not played San Antonio, Phoenix or Dallas, and we split with Detroit and Orlando and Cleveland.

Everyone else we played (except for the Lakers who we spanked twice) just isn't very good.

Are we a great team? I think so.

But it's not outrageous for other people to think we're unproven yet.

Charles DID know about the NBA, when he was playing. he doesn't know much about it now.

when he opens his mouth he doesnt say much at all thats eye opening. sorry, but not knowing how long PP has been in the NBA alone shows how out of it he is. I can be pretty on or close to just about any player in the NBA when it comes to how long they have been around and their stats.

I said it once and I will say it again. CB is a moron.

Barkley is hilarious. I love his commentary though.

Why are we getting all worked up anyways? The context of that conversation was comparing us to the Bulls.

The Bulls had Michael Jordan in his prime and won 6 championships. Celtics have won 0. We're not even at the All-Star break yet.

Denver, Golden State, Utah. We've beaten plenty of good teams. The "We haven't beaten anyone" argument is not valid to anyone reasonable.

The joke will especially be on him when he has to wear those speedos with 3 games left in the season too.

This reminds me of: during Ichiro's first season in the MLB, Rob Dibble bet Lou Pinella that he will run through Times Square naked if Ichiro won the American League batting championship, and in a Speedo swimsuit if Ichiro hit .300. We all know how that bet ended up. . . . Ichiro was the ROY, the MVP, the AL batting champion and hit .350 that season. Doh!
