Who in SA got to Barkley?

[GrandeDavid]

The dude said that the Spurs will not get past the second round and said that Denver would EASILY beat the Spurs...and he still says the Spurs are worse than the Mavs. I find this humorous!

He also said that Duncan and Manu have no game left. What? I know they've probably lost a couple of steps, but they can still dominate and have gained immeasurable wisdom.

Seriously, I don't care what he or anyone thinks of the Spurs, but isn't he looking biased and just plain ignorant by now?

[GrandeDavid]

The Spurs beat the Mavs on their home court recently and they don't even have Caron Butler. Also, they ousted Dallas in last year's playoffs.

[Budkin]

I remember when he used to praise us all the time. I think he's just tired of talking about us year after year.

[DontStopBelieving]

As soon as I heard what he said, I instantly knew that there would be multiple threads made because of it..

Hes a great troll tbqh.

[DesignatedT]

Were not getting past the 1st round if its memphis...

[Ginobili2Duncan]

Barkley is a contrarian. I don't think even he believes what he is saying.

[GrandeDavid]

I remember when he used to praise us all the time. I think he's just tired of talking about us year after year.

I normally laugh when people worry about that blowhard, but his stupidity and tired act are actually indictments of our values insofar as sports entertainment. He has nothing decent to say about San Antonio, but when a team has 61 wins, that doesn't make sense. He doesn't even mention what a good job Popovich has done.

:rollin

[spurs10]

He is wrong about every thing he says. He was just saying Portland won't be playing Dallas in the first round?!!

I remember that too. He always seems to be very emotional in analyzing teams.

[howbouthemspurs]

I dont even think he knows what hes saying half the time.. hes in another world

[mytespurs]

Barkeley has been consistent in his assessment that the spurs aren't as good as "advertised"-he's been saying that all season long-he hasn't wavered from that point. And he's not the only one-most of the pundits out there aren't picking the spurs to do much despite their record. General consensus is that Lakers are the best team in the west, despite their recent swoon, followed by the new WC darlings OKC.

[rayray2k8]

Yes, I liked the part when Kenny, EJ and Webber started laughing at him.... Barkley also said that the Lakers wouldn't repeat and the no one wants to play the Blazers, Grizz, Nuggets, Thunder and Hornets..
Guess the Mavs gonna take it this year. :tu

[beirmeistr]

Charles barkley realizes he is hated in San Antonio for his remarks about the women in San Antonio, so he is deceiving himself by knocking the Spurs hoping he won't have to come to San Antonio for the WCF and/or the Finals.

[NewcastleKEG]

Can you really blame him?

Spurs look like the Titanic

[ploto]

Charles is just saying what many on here have said- the Spurs do not play the kind of defense they have played to win their other championships and they are too small against certain match-ups.

Chuck knows what he says gets him attention. Did any of you all ever even watch him when he played in the NBA? He delightfully ingnorant, and talks out his ass. Thats what makes him great.

Next you'll think hes really gonna give CWebb 20 mil to keep the Kings in Sac.

[jjktkk]

Barkley is a funny guy and fun to listen too when he does the TNT show. His basketball analysis actually sucks, so I always take his opinions and predictions with a grain of salt. Chuck is strictly an entertainer.

[TMTTRIO]

Well you have to admit if Manu goes back to just chucking up 3 point shots the whole game at a low rate like he's been doing a lot recently we're probably not getting far. It's interesting that his best game recently came while not shooting one 3 pointer in the game. I wouldn't worry about what Barkley said. He's on there for entertainment purposes. I was getting sick of the commentating last night. It was Laker praise all night long with maybe one minute of stuff on the Spurs throughout the game.

Reverse jinx.

Barkley ftw

Barkley loves the spurs he is helping to stay way under the radar... he is just doing what he is supposed to do.

[Old School 44]

Barkley probably bet the farm on the Spurs in Vegas.
He's just trying to fire Tim and his favorite player, "Gin-oooooooooo-bili" up!

[SenorSpur]

Yeah Barkley talks out of his ass alright. It's going to be interesting to see him eating some crow and to hear him try to explain all this away when his predictions go awry.

[JR3]

Were not getting past the 1st round if its memphis...

I call BS! Yeah you can see they are a matchup problem. But I still like our playoff tested team against them in 6 max. Memphis is dang good, but no way THIS team goes down like that. We may be scoring like the mavs, but we are not the mavs. We have balls. (RJ aside).

[Budkin]

Was thinking about Barkley's recent hatred and something I remember is that he's always been furious that we "tanked" in 1997 to get Duncan. He's ranted about it on multiple occasions. Maybe that's come back up for him.

[Juggity]

Were not getting past the 1st round if its memphis...

You's trollin!

Of course we are going to beat them. We have HCA against them and it's the goddamn playoffs. Regular minutes for the big three, etc.

[sa_butta]

Barkley said earlier in the year that the Spurs are not even the best team in Texas, How is that working out for you now?? He just says shit to stir up trouble with everyone else, its is thing to go against the grain. So it is expected of him and his predictions are usually wrong.

[senorglory]

I dont even think he knows what hes saying half the time.. hes in another world

it's his job to just keep talking. gotta say something. even if it's half-baked.

[8FOR!3]

He was big time talking out of his ass when he brought up Duncan and Ginobili. I'm tired of hearing how Duncan's not the same player he was 3-5 years ago. He's playing his best basketball since the 2007 season. His jumper is on, he's rebounding the ball with some force, and he's been stepping up all year on the defensive end.

[widowmaker]

Can you really blame him?

Coming from a guy who's team hasn't done shit since MJ hung up his shoes lol.

[phyzik]

Reverse jinx.

Barkley ftw

[gospursgojas]

Barkley can give a shit if he's wrong, thats why I like him.

Why do you think the other "analyst" have picked the Lakers and/or the Heat all season? Bc they are nice, easy, safe picks. They are low-risk picks that wont make them look as dumb as they really are.
