Despite the Golden State Warriors going into their game last night against the Rockets with a record of 16-2, which was the best in the league, Charles Barkley is still having a hard time respecting them. He continued his more than two year verbal onslaught of the Warriors on Inside The NBA, where he was looking for every reason to not admit the team was the best in the west. After saying the Spurs were better, Kenny Smith started calling him a hater and that’s when Barkley compared the Warriors to girls.

“Maybe I’m old school, but I’m never going to like that little girly basketball where you have to outscore people,” said Barkley. “I’m biased against girl basketball.”
Barkley has hated everything about the Warriors and has basically refused to give them any credit, even though they have been to the NBA Finals two seasons in a row. His hate of Golden State only magnified when Kevin Durant signed there.
The Warriors wound up losing a very exciting game to the Rockets 132-127 in double overtime, dropping their record to 16-3, which is still the best in the league. Barkley made sure to take the rare opportunity to gloat after a Warriors lost saying, “Them little dudes are gonna get mauled in the playoffs”.
He even thinks the Warriors are worse off this year compared to last because of what they gave up to get Durant. Again, they are 16-3, best record in the league but somehow things are horrible. Right, sounds legit. Barkley knows his basketball for the most part but anything he says about the Warriors just has to be ignored.
