Charles Barkley wasted no time in delivering a scorching-hot take this season. It took him just 24 minutes of play during the Golden State Warriors matchup against the Phoenix Suns. The Warriors were trailing 61-46 at halftime and missing their on-court orchestrator, Draymond Green. While rendering an early game analysis, Chuck proclaimed the Suns as the victors. Furthermore, he declared that “The Warriors are cooked.

While Chuck’s siding appeared to be on the mark, Dubsnation deserves plenty of credit. In the third quarter of that game, the Warriors outscored the Phoenix Suns 40-19. Since then, they have maintained their momentum by winning all three games moving forward.

Draymond Green delivered a perfectly timed response, catching the attention of Ernie Johnson and Charles Barkley himself. Initially, Chuck cleared that his stand with the “Warriors are cooked” remarks was specifically for the playoffs. However, he doubles down on his assertion that the Warriors might be the fourth-best team in California; given their age and the susceptibility to injuries.

Draymond swiftly embraced Chuck’s comments but injected his trademark humor into the conversation. With a playful grin, he retorted, “I think ‘old’ sounds a little harsh. I think ‘old’ sounds as if we look like Chuck when he was out there with the Houston Rockets.”

Furthermore, Draymond emphasized his perspective by claiming that the Warriors come with a wealth of experience. Ultimately, he emphatically concluded, “But that ain’t never stopped us from winning.”
