Another round of the NBA playoffs means another prediction from TNT NBA analyst Charles Barkley. The 11-time All-Star and former league MVP was asked to give his opinion on the upcoming second-round series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors.

Barkley picked Los Angeles to defeat Golden State in the series, but noted that he questioned the consistency of star forward Anthony Davis. Barkley said that he doesn’t think the Warriors have anyone that can guard Davis, but that the series would ultimately come down to how he plays.
The sports world is reacting to Barkely’s prediction for the series.
“Chuck called the Lakers so we know it’s gonna be Warriors in 6,” one fan said.

Barkley hasn’t fared well so far in these playoffs when it comes to predictions. He said the Sacramento Kings and Denver Nuggets would make it to the Western Conference Finals, and Sacramento lost to Golden State in seven games in their first-round series.
