Charles Barkley 'bored' by NBA playoffs

Charles Barkley is paid a lot of money to see the NBA playoffs, but nobody can force him to do it with enthusiasm.

TNT ventilation on Sunday evening a DoubleHeader, starting with the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, followed by the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers, who tip over shortly before 10 p.m. After Indiana's 129-103 victory against Milwaukee, In the NBA Showed a Barkley clip that spent a big yawn and implied that he had bored from the game.

The victory of the Pacers 129-103 against the goats had bored Charles Barkley and maybe even a little tired if they asked Kenny Smith.

“I'm bored, brother,” Barkley quickly admitted that Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal noticed that he seemed sleepy. “I won't even lie. It wasn't even worth it … this thing escalated quickly. It was over early.”

Johnson noticed that the NHL playoffs were also carried out for the night, so Barkley couldn't even rely on hockey to arouse his interest.

“No, hockey is further here,” said Barkley when he made himself and pointed to a screen outside the camera.

Barkley never hides from the fact that he is more enthusiastic about the NHL playoffs than the NBA, even though it is the latter he paid to watch them. But you won't catch the basketball family-like teeth as you watch a hockey game. His love for hockey even triggered the recent thought that Barkley could work happier for the NHL on TNT In the NBA on ESPN next season.

Although Barkley is an ambassador for the league, he is often accused of having not really loved the NBA or at least the modern player and game. Admission that he is bored during the playoffs may not dispel much if he dispersed this term. But in Barkley's defense, Indiana's 129-103 Blowout victory was boring for almost everyone except Pacers fans.
