Barkley: NBA unfair to Nuggets
- Thread starter NYC Rebel
- Start date
The NBA fukked up with the schedule for both OKC and Denver. There was only a 36-hour turnaround between Game 3 and Game 4 (other teams had a lot more rest between games). It should have been amended as it affected the quality of the game.
That is the NBA's fault.
What's not the NBA's fault is, how Denver has failed to acquire proper depth this season and firing their coach late in the piece too (which hasn't helped with rotations). They're playing their starters 40+ minutes every game, coming off 7 games against the Clips in the 1st round, right into the same situation against OKC. To make matters worse for them, OKC and the Clips were #1 and #2 in defense this season.
Their schedule has really been brutal - I saw a stat that if this series goes to a Game 7, Denver would've played 14 games in 28 days.

I wanna say didn't the Lakers have to do the same thing against the wolves in the first round?
EDIT: Yep, games 3 and 4 were scheduled the same way.

They had a day off. No travel

So college kids can play like 3 days in a row for a tourney. bu....t NBA dudes struggle to play two games in a short period of time. Yeah right
You can't be serious with this?
But I was told it was goofy and naive to stack them games in the regular season....
Let's see: If they had won 68 games, they'd have been the 1st seed, and would've easily beaten MEM in 4 or 5, instead of gutting out a game 7 bloodbath with the Clips. If that had happened, they would not be suffering from not enough time between games and series.
It's almost like the OLDER and LESS DEPTH teams should be trying harder than the younger ones, to get better seeding in the postseason. But ya'll got this tho; OG POWERS ACTIVATE!

Their salary doesn’t magically heal athletes or make them recover or prevent injuries.
You sound like you would yell “40 million dollar slaves” from the seats.
Unbothered

This is one of those examples of Barkley saying stupid ass shyt, even Kenny couldn't make sense of what he said because it was a dumb sentiment.
I feel like Chuck said that because he didn't want to put the blame or responsibility on Jokic for having 3 straight bad performances, so he tried to make it seem like Jokic's bad play was the NBA's fault rather than his own
Fishing for reasons as to why he (Joker) shyt the bed 3 nights in a row. If any other guy has 3 terrible games in a row, I'm willing to bet Chuck wouldn't have said that nonsense.

Chuck definitely had his parlay fukked up, that's why he's so emotional sometimes. He's a gambling degenerate. Don't be surprised he keeps working in the media till he can't physically. He needs that money for his gambling addiction
