The funniest part about all that was that Coach Malone said that the talking heads weren't even wrong for thinking that way, it was just something he had made to rally the troops since everyone was counting the champs out
yeah idk why Barkley so hurt over this. Malone used the talking heads to motivate his team. Pretty standard stuff in sports

but the quote tweet about Barkley constantly folding is kinda true. he just barely has a .500 record in the playoffs for his career (62 wins, 61 losses)

Most of the Philly teams he played with were wack AF he was carrying that team heavily after the traded Moses for junk
The big problem is when he got to the Suns, he lost to the Bulls (no shame, MJ literally had the greatest finals ever) and blew a 2-0 lead to the Rockets where they won the first 2 games on the road and then blew a 3-1 lead to the Rockets the next year. Suns 100% should've come away with a chip from one of those 3 seasons they were insanely talented

JDub has been awful for like 98% of both the games the Thunder have won, I don't know how this shyt is happening :dahell:
Because it's his first playoffs.

He is good and has alot of potential as has been said but he's getting gassed up far too much.

He is eventually going to have to step it up.
But again, it's his first playoffs. This was the big concern with the team because they've never been in that environment. They're gonna get their ass kicked a bit. They're my team and I'm surprised this is at least going to 6.

Shai will have off nights and that makes it an automatic L if jdub can't step up.

Holmgren is doing good for his first playoffs series and as a dude with zero muscle mass. But either he's gotta go nuclear for a game or jdub has gotta find his rhythm

Lmao, TNT are jinxing the series :laugh:

First Barkley guaranteed series sweep in Den vs Min, turns out Den is gonna win the series

Now you got Draymond as a guest calling Dallas the most championship looking team in the playoffs, TNT picking Dallas to win the series and they fail the 2nd half completely. Now needing to win at least one more road game.

Some of NBA players gotta be pissed off at these sports shows for giving their opponents extra motivation.
