The thing I've noticed about the ol' sport is he will stick to his guns. Once he makes an opinion, he will never let up on it until the season is over. His belief that the Clippers are the best team this season will subside once the season is over and he will have a brand new opinion come next season. But he is very entertaining
Thats why most of the time I don't watch the bull sports networks nor care anymore. It has been that way for years and it will not change. A few level headed ones out there, some for shock value or some just flat out idiots. They are media, they are into hype and get paid for it.
You have to give him props for '11 though. He called the Mavs winning it all before anyone else. He used to say the Spurs weren't even the best team in Texas.
He's been jealous of Duncan (and by extension, the Spurs) for years. Since he and many of his contemporaries fell off a cliff and suc bed to injury much earlier than Duncan, he can't fathom how he could maintain such a high standard this late into his career. And like Webber, he clearly thinks if he were in the same environment, he could have had just as much success.
He's also biased towards teams with low post dominant players, especially those of the undersized variety, since they remind him of himself and the way the game used to be played in his era. This is why he used to love the Jazz and has loved the Grizzlies, Pacers and now Clippers, in recent years.
The playoffs start in like two weeks, how the are the Spurs peaking too early?
Barkley is extremely asshurt that
1) He never won a ring
and 2) Duncan is his superior.
Not surprising that he would turn a cold shoulder to our consistently amazing accomplishments.
Clippers are legit with 2 superstars and tons of firepower.
Until recently, their point differential over the last 25% of the season was superior to the Spurs. They are 2nd now.
spurs top 2 players are not playing as well as they did last year.
Supporting casts typically do not perform as consistently or as well in the playoffs.
It is not crazy to pick the clippers over the spurs. I personally am a homer and believe the Spurs will get it this time, but the clippers are clearly contenders.
I expect the clips to be a tough out for the thunder in the 2nd round, and may very well beat them. If they do, I think we have a better chance to beat them than the thunder, so if I was not going with the Spurs, I would pick the thunder today to win the west. I think the heat, if healthy, are just as likely as not to beat all comers, but I am hopeful the spurs have a superior supporting cast this year, and are healthy. Last time, tony got hurt in the finals and it cost us.
Who ing cares what anyone says? The Spurs don't like it when they talk about them, so why should we? the media and their analysts opinions.
This Spurs team may not win a championship but as long as they are healthy they are certainly not going to be bowing out with a whimper in the playoffs that's for sure.
Barkley = Reverse Jinx
He actually hated the Clippers last year, tbh.... Blake shut him up this year, though
Not sure why Chuck hates on the Spurs so much, though.... even his jokes about fat San Antonio women are getting stale, tbh....
it's strange, in the past I've seen some of the most beautiful latinas either in SA or at Schlitterbahn who were from SA. then I went down recently and saw a bunch of beanosauruses walking around. There's some truth to his jokes but I think Chuck just has something against the Spurs. probably lost a lot of money on their consistency.He actually hated the Clippers last year, tbh....

chuck kinda sucks sometimes
Don't know why people think Barkley hates Tim. Chuck has continuously stated that Tim is infact the goat PF.
I know, which is why I said "and now Clippers".He actually hated the Clippers last year, tbh.... Blake shut him up this year, though

He hates on them for precisely the reasons I said.
Turns out as I said Barkley knows more about basketball than 90% of spursfans
He said the Spurs would sweep Miami last year and he said the Spurs would easily beat OKC/Miami in 2012
Turns out as I said Barkley knows more about basketball than 90% of spursfans..
Great predictions, tbh..
lol
Looking at this first half against Golden State, Sterling may have torpedo the Clips with his racist remarks. Doc's got a tough job to keep them focused.
