Cash in your 401k, empty out your savings, and bet it ALL on Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks to take a 3-0 lead on the Toronto Raptors tonight in the Eastern Conference Finals. Why? Charles Barkley himself has not only predicted a Raptors win, but he guaranteed it.
Seriously, Chuck, haven't the basketball gods made it clear what happens after you do this? Look no further than Paul Pierce. You want to end up like him?
Based on some early reactions, it doesn't seem like Canada is all too pleased with Charles tempting fate. Remember, this is the same guy who said a couple short weeks ago that the Blazers would win the West.
To give the Raptors credit, Game 3 is an ideal chance to steal a win, and Nick Nurse's squad is taking full advantage so far, racing out to an early lead to get Scotiabank Arena on their feet.
Toronto has enough on their hands tonight stopping the cheat code that is Giannis, sudden thee-point sharpshooter Brook Lopez, and an All-Star in Khris Middleton without Chuck hexing them by guaranteeing a win.
