Charles Barkley roasted the Celtics for their shot selection during a recent episode of TNT’s “Inside the NBA.”
The Celtics shot 25 percent from beyond the arc in Monday’s Game 1 loss, and missed an NBA playoff-record 45 threes. It was a bad shooting night in general, but it was the Celtics’ decision-making during the third quarter that sparked an incredulous reaction from Barkley.
All but one of the Celtics’ shot attempts in the third quarter were 3-pointers, something that both Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal found ridiculous.
“Come on, man. That’s got to be one of the stupidest damn stats I’ve ever heard,” Barley said.
