“If you went to this game, you had nothing to do today.”
-Charles Barkley, as ‘Inside the NBA’ shows Wizards-Hornets highlights.
Hornets have been dynamic offensively for weeks now.
I know its just a joke but as a ball enjoyer its not a horrible matchup.
The clown Chuck likes to go on his soapbox about how much coverage the Lakers get but also wants to shit on small market teams too.
He also shits on the Lakers too lol. I don’t think he even likes watching the sport at this point
yea its cause they’re small market, not cause their record is 27-65 combined
It is.
so why does he gas up OKC who’s a small market
if anything, Chuck has been anti-big market with how he shits on Lakers and Warriors
People just trying to get mad at a joke
Chuck has been making these kinds of jokes for years and yet somehow people here still try to drum up outrage over it. Seems like people like OP are just actively looking for something to be offended by.
You still shouldn’t shit on them on tv like this
why not ?
You seriously have to ask why telling consumers that the product sucks is a bad idea?
Are you investing in the nba or something ? Why the fuck, strictly as a consumer like you say, would you give a flying fuck if someone on TV makes fun of some bottom 10 teams for being uninteresting to watch?
Does it make watching those games less fun for you because of what he says ?
I know this sub has a hard on about hating Chuck and the rest of the crew for the past few years now but you don’t need to blindly follow their opinions and parrot whatever they say here everyday.
I’m sure you’re mature enough to both think for yourself and also not allow someone ruining your fun of watching some basketball games because someone you never talked to in your life said you shouldn’t.
You seriously getting your panties in a twist over a joke that most people wouldn’t have even heard if yall didn’t post it everywhere? Shit is not that deep bro there’s bigger issues to be crying about instead of this
I wouldn’t call the DC market small.
I agree but I feel like he is saying what like 97% of NBA fans are thinking. How many people actually watched this game on this sub, as opposed to one of the bigger games. I know I didn’t and that’s not because the Hornets are not fun to watch, its because we have about a million games every year and usually these are the games everyone skips
Way to promote the nba charles
Funny thing is the Hornets have the best net rating in the last 10 games so fat ass Chuck showing again he doesn’t watch any ball to be giving his opinion
Exactly why the NBA needs to move on from them. Get people that actually like the sport.
Hornets are a fun watch, Chuck just doesn’t actually watch ball
He was talking up the Hornets
I wonder why espn didn’t wanna give them lots more screentime
can say the same thing about people who watch that show.
“Hi im Charles Barkley and im a generational hater” -Charles Barkley
If you watch Inside the NBA, you had nothing to do today.
The Hornets have been on a tear right now.
Nah, the Hornets are fun to watch. Charles would know this if he actually watched games.
The game is close too
I actually enjoyed watching the Hornets lately.
They’re finally healthy this season and getting runs together as a team.
They’re also a 1-2 dogs away from seriously causing some trouble in the East.
I’m a casual so take it as you will but I’ve seen more posts about this than actual games tonight so I just feel he is doing his job. I also haven’t clicked on any because don’t feed the trolls.
Media does not care about truth, it only needs you to engage. I guess I technically clicked on part of this one but didn’t watch him
Why are some of yall getting defensive? I’m a wizards fan and I found this hilarious… it ain’t that deep lol
You don’t hear this kind of shit in other sports leagues. That’s why it’s annoying af
Yes we do lol… when two teams who are well under .500 are playing each other in a December game in the NFL, you hear a LOT of talking heads talk about how shitty the matchup is. Don’t let Aikman or Al Michaels get that game because they’ll talk shit about the teams DURING the game.
Yea those Thursday nighters and the flags.
Swear the nba has the most sensitive fans
Right. It’s not a shock why this sub gets a such a bad rep from most NBA fans lmao
What other sports leagues have this shit effort that doesnt get called out?
Go try to do this shit in the nhl
There’s a difference between calling out teams and telling viewers “this team sucks. Don’t watch them”
Yall will defend anything Chuck does
What, there was a whole clownshow of people laughing at the “Toilet Bowl” of Las Vegas Raiders and Kansas Shitty Chiefs who somehow lost to them.
That’s the entire reason inside the nba got popular to begin with. You’d hear the same sterile analysis on every channel and they’d refuse to call out players or teams and then you had barkley not giving a fuck and saying someone’s a fool.
Because it’s been like 15 years of this and they simultaneously talk about ow nobody talks about the other teams in the media.
People hear the narrative that this crew hates the NBA and they are one of the biggest reasons why “the NBA is dying” and when they hear them hate on anything, they go mad. But this is probably what almost every single NBA fan would also say, so I don’t know why its suddenly like an outrageous take, like seriously how many people actually watched this game, even the Wizards fans are probably like “alright I might check the highlights for this one”. Both these teams and their fans have been in hell for years, its gonna take a little bit of success for people to be interested
