Did Kenny Smith and Shaq really pick Boston to win the series?

[t-wizzle]

If so, then that just proves these guys really just don't give a shit. You might think they are dumb and that's fine but I find it hard to believe that a couple guys who played in the league actually really believe that the Celtics could win that series.

They either just didn't give a fukk and said Boston in 6 or were just looking to start some conversation.

[Speedy88]

Yep, they picked Boston a couple days ago to win in 6 games. They are just trying to be different and cool, kind of like Skip Bayless.

[onlooker]

They get paid to spark convo and drama. Skip has to be the evil Lebron hater, because ESPN adores Lebron. He gets paid to be the one against him. He isn't that stupid.

Definitely paid to get a reaction and it worked, agreed with onlooker people just love to say the Heat are going to lose because they had King James.

[HoulihansTX]

They did it to go left while everyone else went right.

But they did not know it only works when fading Lang.

Let's see. Barkley is on heat remember?

Let's see. Barkley is on heat remember?

Barkley is usually spot on.

[lakerboy]

Barkley is usually spot on.

You are kidding right?

[t-wizzle]

You are kidding right?

Not at all bro. He was the only analyst on any network that picked Dallas last year to beat LA and I'm pretty sure he took them over Miami as well.

When has he been wrong?

[Koldazzice]

barkley is the man - that dude says it like it is, he doesnt give a F#$k. The rest are all baby brains

[HoulihansTX]

Barkley is good in the NBA, but trash in NFL/college foots.

Its like any other person. Make money in your profession, and lose it in the facets of life where you struggle.

[t-wizzle]

Oh btw Barkley said the Spurs would house the Thunder tonight.

[HoulihansTX]

Sure did. And he said Thunder have to sit one of their big men. Let's see is Brroks make the proper adjustment.
