In Game 1 of their first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Los Angeles Lakers showcased their championship caliber by securing a convincing 16-point victory. Despite the odds stacked against them as underdogs, the Lakers effortlessly outplayed the second-seeded Grizzlies. NBA analyst Charles Barkley made some daring remarks in response to the Lakers’ performance.
Barkley’s comments were met with some backlash, as many believed he was undermining the Lakers’ performance in Game 1 and discounting their chances of making it to the Conference Finals. However, it’s hard to argue with the Lakers’ recent success, as they look like one of the best teams in the West since building their team in February.
“If you actually look at it now, damn, the Lakers that was the easiest path to the Conference Finals and you’re gonna see because they’re gonna be in the Conference Finals,” Barkley said on Inside the NBA. “I’d rather be in the Play-In and play 1 bad team at home. Ask the Lakers how they feel right now. The Clippers got a tougher road because they have to go through the Suns and Denver.”
