Preach, Chuck.
Per usual, Charles Barkley was quite outspoken on Wednesday night’s edition of NBA on TNT.
Barkley’s target Wednesday night was those on television who have been criticizing NBA head coaches, most notably Los Angeles Lakers head coach Darvin Ham and Phoenix Suns head coach Frank Vogel, for their respective teams woes.
The Lakers were eliminated from the NBA playoffs after losing in five games to the Denver Nuggets while the Suns were eliminated as well as they lost in four games to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Chuck doesn’t think Ham or Vogel should be getting the blame, and went as far to call these people on television who are placing blame on them “cowards.”
“Charles Barkley with a message on coaches, players and people who cover basketball.
“For all you punks, idiots and jackasses on other networks, who want to be media and who want all the players to like y’all, do your damn job. The Lakers suck and the Suns suck because of the players.””
It’s certainly an interesting take from Barkley but will probably fall on deaf ears as far as NBA front offices are concerned.
Darvin Ham could very well be out as head coach for the Lakers as it has been recently reported that he’s “unlikely to return.”
Barkley also had this to say:
“You sitting there saying, Darvin Ham needs to get fired, Frank Vogel needs to get fired. Who put them trash a** teams together need to get fired. They didn’t just all the sudden suck as coaches. People who put them teams together should start packing.”
