Can we really want to get into that brutal Warmth effectivity? The solely entertaining part of that loss to Atlanta throughout the play-in recreation 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 talked about on TNT sooner than the game. “Wager it, no matter you wish to. A billion {dollars}.”
“Ah-haw,” Shaq talked about, sort-of sounding like a hawk.
At half, when Atlanta led 65-50, Barkley talked about: “Bear in mind final week we had this dialog. I mentioned neither one among these groups is any good. I assumed Miami was adequate to beat the Hawks. Nonetheless a protracted strategy to go, however neither one among 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 represent the billions {{dollars}}.
Different quotes on the set:
2. ”Clearly, Miami carried out horrible,” Barkley talked about.
3. Added Kenny Smith about Atlanta’s 63-39 rebound profit: “The Warmth acquired a small little workforce on the market. They might not get a rebound. Bam Adebayo is on the market by himself.”
We’re merely realizing this?
4. And as for the Warmth’s chances in opposition to Toronto or Chicago throughout the subsequent play-in recreation on Friday …
“Let’s cease joking round, who cares?” Barkley talked about. “The eighth seed is just not going to beat the highest three seeds within the East. The one factor thrilling concerning the Japanese Conferences is the Knicks versus the Cavaliers.”
5. Amen to that.
