'The Lakers Suck And The Suns Suck Because Of The Players' - Charles Barkley Unleashed Hell On All 'Idiots And Jackasses' Who Refuse To Say The Truth
Goddamn Chuck, that's one way to get your point across. I love it. Too many people freak out about anyone trying to say something negative about a player. You insult them or criticize any part of their game (even a mechanical flaw) and you have a million people trying to attack you, even if you're right. So instead all these punks, idiots and jackasses suck up to the players and immediately talk about how a coach needs to be fired. Sometimes, sure, yeah a coach should be fired. But it's not the immediate fix everyone thinks it is.
Think about how quick those Shams pieces came out after the Lakers and Suns lost. How were those stories written? Everything being how Frank Vogel and Darvin Ham were terrible coaches. All the quotes, reasons for losing fell back on the coach. I get it's part of the job and most often than not coaches get blamed and never get the credit. But, Chuck is right. What about the people who put together the team? The Suns took on a dogshit Bradley Beal contract and rolled without a point guard. The Lakers, well, you know. They are the Lakers. Old, lack of depth, lack of talent. You get the point.
This is also why this show needs to go on forever. I get that sometimes they are way off when talking about stuff, but no one is more entertaining than this group. Who else would call out media and everyone else like Chuck? People are too scared these days. Everyone wants to be friends with players and then get to scream they were first on reporting a coach getting fired or whatever news we'll find out in 5 minutes anyways.
