He doesn’t make much of an attempt to hide it: Chuck’s got love for the north.
Before Game 1 of the Finals tipped off for real, Charles Barkley offered his insight on the series. Interestingly, he thinks that the Warriors are ‘lying’ about Kevin Durant’s availability for this series — he doesn’t think that Durant will play at all — and that’s part of the reason he’s rolling with the Raptors to win it all.
(Let’s just look past the fact that Chuck picked Milwaukee to beat the Raptors in the last series.)
Chuck is just here to enjoy his time here in Toronto! Metric system and all.
Barkley isn’t the only expert taking the Raptors. ESPN offered a look at their expert picks, and things are split right down the middle. With that said, Raptors fans are less than pleased that Paul Pierce is picking their team.
