I have been a big fan of Charles Barkley and Danny Ainge over the last few years.
Ainge played the game as hard as anyone and absolutely hated to lose..........
His tenure as a coach was not good because he expected the players to play hard and they would not so he could not handle that and had to quit..............it is tough being an NBA coach these days....!
Barkley gave the suns a great chance to win it all and they may have if Charles would have kept himself in better shape and practiced............he always said you can have me for the game but not both practice and the game so they let him slide and not practice. Looking back that was a mistake because it caused team problems when the game was played. The suns played very boring basketball the last year Barkley was here.
But, Charles is starting to bore me............!
All this C..... about him not being able to buy tickets and then constantly saying that Marbury is not a point guard is boring!!!
Ainge helped out all the suns fans last night when he said two things on the air in the 2nd half.
1) He said to coach Thompson, Charles says that Marbury is not a point guard. I do not know what you think coach but I think Marbury is a point guard and an excellent one. (he said earlier he thought he was playing the best point guard in the league right now)
Thompson just gave a giggle to the question and simply said that Stephon Marbury is a point guard!
2) He said he could not believe what Charles had said about not being able to buy tickets. He knows the guy in charge of ticket sales and he would sell them to the devil to sell them. He thought Charles could get tickets any time he wanted.
Now some clarification.............Barkley tried to get two first row tickets and maybe they did not have them to sell him and he was upset so said what he did........
It appears that Barkley and Colangelo will make up soon and we will see Charles at the games, but I can tell you that it may be a while before you see Barkley in the ring of honor.
