Charles Barkley has total faith in the Boston Celtics winning Game 5 at home Thursday.
So much so that he taunted his buddy Dan Le Batard, a Miami native and Heat fan, during tonight’s pregame show on TNT.
“Fat Dan Le Batard and your fat daddy–sweet Ms. Lourdes–I’ll see you Saturday. Guaranteed!” Barkley said.

At least Chuck took it easy on Le Batard’s mom, Lourdes. All in good fun though, and you can bet Dan will mention this on his show tomorrow, no matter the result of the game.
Boston, the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference and the heavy favorites heading into the Eastern Conference Finals, dropped the first three games of the series, with the final loss coming in blowout fashion.
However, the Celtics managed to hold off elimination for at least two more days with their double-digit win in Game 4 on Tuesday. They’ll need to win at home tonight to get the series back to South Beach.
If that happens, Barkley indeed might run into his old friend Le Batard and his dad over the weekend.
