What is this guy's problem?
Chuck Barkley calling his bookie to bet against the Mavs tonight. I hope they can shut him up. Guy drives me nuts. Someone please tell me the beginnings of his disdain for the Dallas Mavericks.

RE:What is this guy's problem?
Because the MAvs might mail it in. The mavs might play down to the short-handed Lakers squad. Also... it puts more pressure on the MAvs because they are expected to win easily. Also... Jackson is very good at taking advantage of this type of situation.

RE: What is this guy's problem?
This is just his way to say he won't give Dallas any credit when we win but he'll write us off as a fluke if we lose. Basically by saying that, it is a win/win situation for him.

RE: What is this guy's problem?
Exactly plus, it isn't very interesting tv if everyone comes out and says the Mavs coast tonight. Somebody always has to be the voice of dissention.
I doubt Barkley really believes what he is saying.

RE: What is this guy's problem?
LOL, he just predicted a Dallas loss. Magic Johnson predicted a Dallas win. If you still think Chuck doesn't have some sort of beef for Dallas, you have to be retarded.

There's probably a box of donuts or something just out of the camera's view distracting him, so don't take anything he says seriously.

It's fine if he wants to be controversial or different, but why specifically only against us? It does make me laugh though, I must admit.

Well, looks like he'll be cracking jokes on the postgame show, because he's not gonna be talking about the game [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

RE:What is this guy's problem?
I would have loved being Barkley's bookie tonight. I always love taking money from a chump.
