Do we actually need to get into that brutal Warmth efficiency? The one entertaining a part of that loss to Atlanta within the play-in sport was Charles Barkley shedding a guess to Shaquille O’Neal over who would win.
“They’re going to beat the Hawks, come on, the Hawks stink,” Barkley stated on TNT earlier than the sport. “Guess it, no matter you need to. A billion dollars.”
“Ah-haw,” Shaq stated, sort-of sounding like a hawk.
At half, when Atlanta led 65-50, Barkley stated: “Keep in mind final week we had this dialog. I stated neither certainly one of these groups is any good. I assumed Miami was ok to beat the Hawks. Nonetheless an extended approach to go, however neither certainly one of these groups is any good.”
Nobody would argue that. After Atlanta 116, Warmth 105, Shaq sat on the set holding his pinky finger in opposition to his face to characterize the billions dollars.
Different quotes on the set:
2. ”Clearly, Miami performed terrible,” Barkley stated.
3. Added Kenny Smith about Atlanta’s 63-39 rebound benefit: “The Warmth bought a small little staff on the market. They may not get a rebound. Bam Adebayo is on the market by himself.”
We’re simply realizing this?
4. And as for the Warmth’s possibilities in opposition to Toronto or Chicago within the subsequent play-in sport on Friday …
“Let’s cease joking round, who cares?” Barkley stated. “The eighth seed just isn't going to beat the highest three seeds within the East. The one factor thrilling in regards to the Japanese Conferences is the Knicks versus the Cavaliers.”
5. Amen to that.
