“Kings Are Going To Blow Out Warriors Tonight!”: Charles Barkley Makes Another ‘Guarantee’ Ahead of Game 5

The Sacramento Kings and the Golden State Warriors are having one of the most exciting first-round series we’ve seen in quite a bit. These Northern Californian rivals are facing for the first time in the Playoffs, and just like all of us, Charles Barkley is enjoying the show they’re putting up as well.

Game 4 was an incredibly close contest, with the defending champions taking the edge 126-125. It was a highly entertaining contest, and it earned views accordingly. It was the highest-viewed first-round playoff game in the last 21 years.

Even though the Warriors leveled the series at home, Charles Barkley still doesn’t trust them. He made it clear with his guarantee tonight.

Charles Barkley makes another ‘guarantee’ against the Warriors

Even before the playoffs started, Charles Barkley already ruled the Golden State Warriors out. I get that they had a rough regular season and they’d be starting on the road this series, but he didn’t even give the defending champions any leeway.

Tonight he reiterated his faith in the Sacramento Kings by making yet another guarantee on them. Talking about the double-header on TNT, the crew was discussing their picks for the night. As always, Chuck had a rather strong opinion, and he let it be known.

While the Warriors haven’t been good on the road, the energy around the team says they mean business tonight. I’m pretty sure it’s going to be a close contest all night.

Ernie Johnson boldly claims Milwaukee Bucks to make a 3-1 comeback

The Milwaukee Bucks have surprised everyone during these playoffs. Despite being the #1 seed, they’re down 3-1 to the #8 seed Miami Heat. A big part of it could be Giannis Antetokounmpo missing most of Game 1, and then entirely missing Game 2 and 3. He was there for Game 4, but that didn’t help the team a whole lot against Playoff Jimmy Butler.

With Game 5 tonight, Ernie Johnson made another bold claim on Inside The NBA. He has faith in the Bucks that they’d push the series to 7 and win it.

Making a 3-1 comeback is tough, no matter which seed you are. We’ll have to see if Giannis and co. are up to the challenge.
