Charles Barkley still believes in the Celtics: The Celtics pulled off a season-saving Game 5 win over the Knicks on Wednesday, but still trail 3-2 in the series (and face elimination without the services of Jayson Tatum). Still, “Inside the NBA” analyst and Hall of Famer Charles Barkley isn’t ready to give up on the defending champions.
“I’m going to tell you something: They can win in…New York,” Barkley declared of the Celtics ahead of Friday’s Game 6 matchup at Madison Square Garden. He noted that even without Tatum, there are dynamics that should work in Boston’s favor.
