Charles Barkley seemed ready to fight projectile-launching Warriors fans

The faux feud between Charles Barkley and Golden State Warriors nearly got very real after the Dubs' Western Conference Finals Game 5 coronation Thursday night.

With TNT's "Inside The NBA" crew posted up outside Chase Center, Warriors fans began pelting Barkley with projectiles and drinks. Barkley has spent the playoffs (and in fact, several years) dumping on the Bay Area, Warriors fans and the city of San Francisco while reveling in the locals' hate, encouraging crowds chanting "CHUCK YOU SUCK."

It's all been good clean sports hate — unless you were this one Warriors fan's mother — but judging by the reaction of Barkley's coworkers, things were on the verge of crossing a line Thursday.
