If it was any other .400 team he said that about, people here would probably be agreeing with him.

Knicks have a very long history of dysfunction and by doing so its magnified in NYC media market. Perhaps Charles was right, why was this game on? Why does America have to be subject to a team not playing up to its potential? I only watched it because it was on TNT.

I hated myself for it. And I was screaming at the TV watching Rose lose his mind and try to lose the game.

Is it me, or can this kid do anything besides drive to the hoop? Why does his shot have no arch?

Barkley just being Barkley. He also said he was most disappointed in pacers and bucks this year

For all the Pacers bravado, they started off great then went into deep dysfunction mode. Myles Turner bounced the ball off his foot and the game was gone for them.

Fuck Barkley Fam..... leave it at that

This is also a way for young players to be seen. Think about the national coverage Willy and someone like Holiday got last night. In some ways this is how you can pull fans to a team, even if it means rooting for a particular player.

F'n Miller had NO idea that Willy even existed, to some extent, and he was impressed by Holiday, too.

Barkley wouldn't be saying this if he was on a sub-par team continually being shut out of national games. Better that he takes the games that come to him and do his best to honestly analyze things without getting in the cheap shots.
