Fans Think Charles Barkley Has Clear Bias In Warriors-Rockets Series

The Golden State Warriors are now up 3-1 in the first-round series against the Houston Rockets. The Warriors got Jimmy Butler back after he missed most of Game 2 and all of Game 3, and the Warriors got the 109-106 win in California to move one game away from moving to the next round.

At halftime, however, the Rockets had a 57-50 lead and looked to be in control. That is, until the Warriors took over in the second half.

Somehow, Charles Barkley became a topic of discussion during and after the game for one key reason: His disdain for the Warriors.

At halftime, Barkley spoke about the game and said the following:

“I told Kenny, I said, ‘I think the Rockets are going to win this game because they want the game like this.’ The Warriors aren’t playing basketball, they’re out there being stupid,” Barkley stated. “Draymond’s being stupid, Jimmy’s out there being stupid, and the Rockets are like ‘Okay, they’re playing down to our level.'”

Well, fans took notice of that and called out Barkley for having a clear bias in the series in the direction of the Rockets.

“I knew it when Charles Barkley said that Houston was going to win, I knew they were going to lose,” one fan wrote.

“Charles Barkley a generational Warriors hater,” wrote another.

“I dare Charles Barkley to say one nice thing about the Warriors,” wrote another.

“Charles Barkley sick the warriors won. You can tell,” another pointed out.

“The only person who hates the Warriors more than these refs do is Charles Barkley,” another fan said.

“charles barkley will say anything but give the warriors they credit smdh,” another stated.

Moreover, Barkley played the final four seasons of his NBA career with the Rockets, and now his negative comments have surely riled up the fans with the Warriors on the brink of moving on to the next round.
