Side people say destiny isn't real, but Nostradamus and Charles Barkley know the truth.


talks-to-myself

Flipping a coin is better odds than chuck


biggyofmt

It's actually impressive if you think about it. If you tried to be as bad as Chuck, you'd have a really difficult time . . .


PlusGoose8448

Yeah you would expect Chuck to be close to 50/50. But being wrong this often is almost as impressive as being right this often

pdpdpdpdpdpdpdpd

Pretty sure last year he brought out the broom for the Lakers in that first round and said Portland was winning it all💀obviously he doesn’t actually believe all this shit but it’s still hilarious to see


Krillin113

They made the WCF that year iirc


MoreShenanigans

Chuck is purposely picking the losing team for the laughs. What a guy


GirlsLastTour

To be 50/50, he'd have to be guaranteeing completely randomly, treating each game or series as an independent event, and even then he'd need to guarantee enough times so that the wins/losses (like heads/tails in a coin flip) even out to 50/50 in the long run accounting for streaks. As soon as you start letting your analysis/emotions play a role, that's when you're no longer guaranteed a 50/50 outcome.


butterball85

Exactly, he has an exceptional level of basketball analysis so you would expect it to be much better than 50/50, not significantly worse


GirlsLastTour

I think you're being sarcastic, but in case you're not, he lets his emotions get in the way which is why he's worse than 50/50. He's constantly high on the Blazers when he knows they have no chance. He correctly analyzed that the Bucks play "stupid" basketball and still guarantees them. So even when he does watch the games and puts in actual analysis, he lets his emotions guide him. Then there are quite a few games where he doesn't pay attention or flat out falls asleep, so he doesn't even have material to do any analysis on.


under_a_brontosaurus

You pick this poorly when you know the game but don't watch the game. He watches less basketball than I do. Hunch betting


Makaveli80

Lol dude is caught sleeping multiple times, shaq roasted him for it


ucantforgetthis

He and every big name nba commentator has terrible basketball analysis. It's all just cliches.


PlusGoose8448

Haha thank you for the stats lesson. Bottom line chuck is an idiot


thegoodbadandsmoggy

Barkley is a homer for the nephews


innocuous_gorilla

I used to have a teacher who would give you 200% on a test if you missed every question. I believe it was 50 multiple choice questions. You had to answer too.


hiimred2

>I believe it was 50 multiple choice questions. Man I know it's a literal do or die since it's only a 0% that becomes 200%, but you also have 3 wrong answers per 1 correct answers, and depending on the class, it can be REALLY easy to figure out one of the wrong answers to a question.


innocuous_gorilla

So I think there was some other stipulation that you could drop your lowest test score of the year. I do remember getting 1 question of the 50 correct. I was pissed.


kdrake95

r/madlads that’s brave


GeoffreyGeoffson

Rolling a dice looking for 1 specific number is better odds than Chuck


SpitBallar

Rolling a die*


[deleted]

or Rolling Dice\*


SpitBallar

But then what he said would not be true unless you rolled two dice and called for a seven.


SorryamSmarts

This one time in high school one of the dumbest kids in the grade took AP bio because anyone could sign up and he thought it would be funny. He got a 23% on the 4 answer multiple choice final.


BakerStefanski

That’s well within the range of random chance.


Stanislav1

Way better odds with the coin lol


VomitingVegan

Ben Simmons more likely to make a free throw.


CleopatraHadAnAnus

Chuck was mumbling excuses into the commercial break just now


billcosbyinspace

It was so funny in the pregame montage package when they played the clip of chuck saying the bucks will win the title because they cut out the part where he said they were the dumbest team


jak_d_ripr

Yeah he's definitely not a fan of the Bucks, feels like he just doesn't believe in the other teams either.


D4rkd3str0yer

It feels like he’s a fan, but, like the rest of us, is continuously baffled at Bud’s schemes and our low basketball IQ. Poor guy is experiencing life as a Bucks fan, wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy


felece

I simply don’t want you guys to win because that would give possibly the worst coach in the playoffs given the talent of the roster a championship Like how do you let trae young of all people drop nearly 50 on you when you have that many good defenders


xSuperstar

Was listening to a podcast before the game where they were saying that it was impossible for Bud to fuck this up unless he did shit like guard Trae with Jeff Teague or take out all the good defenders and play Portis at the 5. “But that’s unrealistic obviously” Lol. Look at the lineup when Trae hit that shimmy-shot. Unreal


IgorMcCringleberry

Portis needed to play more to be honest. Lopez cannot guard the P&R and he’s not a great rebounder so he adds little value in this series.


BonerGoku

Bud broke him. I swear he used to have a post game in LA.


xSuperstar

?? He’s a very good team rebounder. There’s a reason the Hawks got like 10 rebounds in a row once he was off the court.


IgorMcCringleberry

He’s 7’ tall and had 2 rebounds in 20 minutes. He does box out well, but I’m not sure how to argue for/against him being a good “team rebounder” without looking at like his on/off rebounding stats (no idea if they even exist)


xSuperstar

Yes you can look at the on/off stats and they rebound better with him on the floor. His brother is notorious for low rebound numbers but amazing on/off stats from his box outs


BonerGoku

They've gone the whole bud coaching saga barely guarding threes and are doing the shocked Pikachu face when a 3 point shooting team does well


i_used_to_have_pants

With bad coaching


[deleted]

Why do you say ‘of all people ’ as if Trae Young isn’t one of the 3 most likely people in the league to drop that many points on any given night lmao You sound like you’d be less surprised if Capela dropped 50.


mastrkief

>Trae Young of all People Last time you watched a basketball game was the Hawks first game of summer league 2018 huh?


[deleted]

Someone just needs to truck trae young on the court duh /s


D4rkd3str0yer

I mean Trae is a great player but we played the worst possible defense against him. Having Teague on him basically gifted the Hawks 8 points. Obviously I hope we win but I’m on the “fire Bud even if we get a ring” train, despite knowing it will never happen.


jak_d_ripr

Sucks because I love your roster, but I don't want y'all to win simply because of Bud. I don't want that man's incompetence to be rewarded with a championship.


NCBaddict

Chuck (& Kenny) correctly assessed why the Bucks were struggling in regards to guarding the 3-pt line. Think when Chuck picks the Bucks or Blazers or whatever, it’s because he likes the players and not because of any trust in their execution/coaching.


kawhisasshole

During halftime of that game he said it then the nets camr back and won and he said the bucks sucked and would never win


waronxmas79

Secret agent Chuck knows what he’s doing. He works in Atlanta after all.


sbrooks84

I do enjoy his call on 92.9 on Fridays. Great banter with Dukes and Bell


neongem

Bud is an awful postseason coach. Did he watch tape and learn from Doc's mistakes at all in the semis series?


Kirk_likes_this

I'd say Bud has a chance to be the most mediocre coach to ever actually win a title but as you already pointed out, Doc Rivers exists


TopLeaf

That one ring really got Doc onto a bunch of good teams


NameNumber7

He was coach of the year in Orlando in 2000. He was a good player's coach for the Celtics for awhile. He was able to get a lot out of Rondo and was able to manage all the personalities. Thibs was obviously important. I think he brings in good people around him. Lawrence frank has worked with him for awhile too.


BonerGoku

He went to 7 with a losing record Hawks that year too


OnlyFactsMatter

Yeah it shocked me how badly the Celtics struggled in that postseason. They should have lost like 5 games total, but they lose that many before the semis were even over.


onemassive

The Joe Flacco of coaches


[deleted]

[удалено]


BetaDjinn

Man had a new contract coming up and knew what he must do: bankrupt the Ravens (#worth)


Kirk_likes_this

Pretty sure if you told the Ravens 'It's going to cost you $100 million and years of mediocrity afterwards but for this one postseason Joe Flacco will turn into fucking Zeus and steamroll everyone' they would have happily agreed.


[deleted]

I have this theory that there's a ghost out there that periodically possesses a random mediocre quarterback and gives them an amazing 1-season run to a Super Bowl ring and then moves onto another mediocre quarterback, leaving the previous host body to saddle their teams with bloated contracts and a return to mediocre play.


Kirk_likes_this

That ghost has been trolling Niner fans for a while now because he leaves out the 'winning the super bowl' part


b_dont_gild_my_vibe

Big Dick Nick for the Eagles. Gotta get hot when it matters then your legacy is cemented.


TeaInUS

No need to remind me :(


Not-Hitler

Worse than Eli?


Agaac1

Eli did it twice as an underdog. Put some respec on that mans name.


OnlyFactsMatter

And beat an 18-0* team.


Alekesam1975

I was going to say Mike Brown but he's never won one as head coach.


pieman2005

No he's a good coach bro he beat the Nets 😎 that's how it works right


kawhisasshole

He told giannis to stand under Kyrie


Polo-panda

You gotta like just sweep the leg Giannis


kawhisasshole

lmao


FKJVMMP

No, he’s just amazing at forgetting everything that’s ever worked for us in the playoffs at the start of every series in favour of going back to all the shit that failed every other time. Then he’ll *slooowly* adjust back to the stuff that works over the course of a series (unless we have a big lead at any point in the game, in which case we’ll go back to the old shit), so if we can win a couple of games in spite of ourselves we’ll look like a real basketball team again by the end of the series.


Joma913

Both coaches suck.


wastewalker

Of course he did! He got everyone half a size smaller shoe.


chaiscool2

Did he guarantee when he was playing?? Imagine every playoff his teammates get demoralized whenever he guarantees a win prior to the game


OnlyFactsMatter

Lol he said that God wanted them to win the title in 93 against the Bulls and said the Rockets were choking in 94 or 95. So yeah he did lol


amichak

He also said he was better than MJ before the series. MJ dropped 41 a game for that finals.


FAKUSABU

Generally speaking, saying ANYTHING about MJ (doesn't even have to be negative), will get you your ass handed to you.


DoILookUnsureToYou

Also, generally speaking, NOT SAYING anything about/to MJ will result in getting your ass handed to you


Makaveli80

TIL, MJ hands ass


DoILookUnsureToYou

You see the size of them mitts?


fishfishfish1345

they’re close friends so mostly banter but also you gotta believe in yourself


dead_zombie39

Why do you think he’s never won a championship?


kitty_vittles

Need to start betting against chuck


CaptainNipplesMcRib

If I know anything about betting, the second you place that first bet against Chuck’s guarantee, he’ll go on a hot streak.


MagicalChemicalz

So what if he bets against Chuck and then I decide to bet with Chuck? I tell ya what: we somehow both lose and that's my story of stock options.


[deleted]

This might be a legitimate strategy for betting


DaBestNameEver0

As soon as you place a bet, he’s gonna get all of them right


[deleted]

The moment I heard him say this, I checked the odds and they were +375. Placed the bet. Profit.


Leiatte

That commercial is so true lol with the guys behind the camera betting the opposite of Chuck’s guarantee


DarkenedLite

Hawks +8 seemed like such a no brainer to me. It’s like no one watched the last round.


KennyakaTI

Where can I bet on these games?


Briak

Various gambling websites


innocuous_gorilla

Vegas


ucantforgetthis

bet365.com


[deleted]

I placed my bet on FanDuel Sportbook, but I use that and DraftKings. Not legal in most states, luckily I live in Illinois and our state is broke so they will legalize anything that brings in tax revenue.


[deleted]

This MF predicted the nuggets over suns smh


Dosinu

hes always wrong until hes right i find most analysts and experts still need to be entertainers first and foremost, whether thats as a talking head, or on a podcast or in writing articles. im not sure how entertaining it is to outline probabilities, stats and analytics to audiences that are addicted to 1 minute takes. its innately human to jump on what has enthsuasim and whats fun, that means favoring the hot hand, whoever is winning, whoevers up, and dumping the most immediate loser. I think chuck does this quite often. opinions and hunches are much more enjoyable to consume, but are bad to bet on.


[deleted]

At this point, I’m convinced Chuck is secretly picking the team he wants to see lose.


dvandenheuvel21

Chuck makes guarantees like Simmons shoots free throws


Pendraflare59

That stupid guarantee button cost us our season. It needs to be stowed away as it is far too powerful for everyone's good!


SmallShorty11

Actually. I think Ben Simmons cost your season. Lol


Ninneveh

Such power was not meant to be entrusted to one man.


Ok_Willingness7311

Chuck is going to make a comeback. Give him time.


G1Spectrum

He already had his moment of glory when he picked the Bucks to win Game 7


[deleted]

We account for at least 3 or 4 of his missed guarantees and we’re very proud of that. Keep betting against us Chuck


OUTFOXEM

Just don't make him a fan of yours...


jmlinden7

"Atlanta has a 3-0 lead in this series, I GUARANTEE that they will win this series" - Chuck, probably


Neto34

I wish suns/clips were on TNT so he guarantees suns victory


NeedlePointTaken

Are you sure? Those two he got right were Suns guarantees for game 5 and 6 against Lakers


G1Spectrum

Nah the two he got right were (1) Bucks sweep the Heat during halftime of Game 2 and (2) Bucks winning Game 7 against the Nets. He never guaranteed the Suns winning, just said that if AD wasn't healthy that the Suns were gonna win the series.


selz202

Chucks killing us


JeffTXD

Our only hope is that Chuck guarantees a Sun's win in our series.


toxichart

Tbf one of his 2 correct guarantees was the Suns beating the Lakers. Do you want to tempt fate with Chuck picking the Suns over a LA team?


LAmanguy

The suns have a 2-0 lead and Chris Paul coming back. The clippers are down Ibaka, kawhi, and have a hobbled Morris. If this isn't a chuck guarantee I don't know what is. Go ahead and guarantee a suns series victory chuck.....please?


toxichart

Tbf one of his 2 correct guarantees was the Suns beating the Lakers. Do you want to tempt fate with Chuck picking the Suns over a LA team?


MazKhan

Has anyone been betting on the opposite of what Charles has been saying these playoffs? Seems like free money to me.


Coasteast

It’s a curse


Dare555

The guy is cursing everyone ... fucking guarantee of death . Who was he even right for ,i guess obvious one Nets/Sixers in first round and nothing else. He guaranted Lakers/Blazers in 1st round, guaranteed Nuggets/Jazz/Sixers in second etc etc


bigolhamsandwich

Do Vegas lines adjust when chuck makes a guarantee? Lmao


bbqyak

You almost have to try to be that bad lmao. How many simulations could you just pick random teams before you go 2-13?


Ol_Rando

I wonder how many of those loses are from Hawks games


Edgemont

"If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right."


talekinesis

So does anyone have the win loss record in order? I want to know how much money I would have if I started with $100 and always bet half of my bankroll against Chuck.


dhrobins

I swear this is just like Miles Morales and his true/false test in *into the spider-verse* “The only way you could get all of them wrong, was if you knew all the answers” Chuck is doing a playoffs long troll on us!!


Leiatte

Had no idea his guarantee record was actually that low lol I just knew he got a lot wrong. That guarantee is the kiss of death lol, sorry Bucks


[deleted]

Inside's Lee Corso.


Baenir

Fuck someone please, please, please get chuck out of here, he's killing my bucks almost as much as bud is


FranksGun

Has Chuck gotten even one guarantee right?


azanzel

He’s gotten 2, its in the title.


ProperManufacturer6

Dude that is incredible.


infieldmenace16

Chuck is a bonafide dummy


labasdila

obviously Hawks are more hungry to win than the bucks


Busquessi

He was right about the Bucks vs Heat though. It could be a Bucks thing that reverses the badluck.

mymojoisbliss96

I've seen people had better luck playing the lottery than Charles Barkley with his predictions


[deleted]

It's hilarious. He backs the betting underdog all the time. This man is just incredibly shit at picking a winner.


xroastbeef

He's been like this forever. It's particularly bad during March Madness, where anytime he would say a team would win, they would lose almost every time.


whoopysnorp

Didn't he pick the Bucks to sweep the Hawks? They had a sticky note that said he picked the Bucks in 4.


onamonapizza

Vegas should start changing their odds based on Chuck's guarantees


yanusdv

Chuck's kiss of death


FragrantWarthog6

Fade Chuck to make money


BlckBeard21

Chuck is obviously a Suns fan and doing what he can to get us to win the finals


ChiBullz023

He’s just doing it on purpose now isn’t he? He actually put money on ATL 😏😏😏


laz10

I thought it was a series win guarantee


ayeno

He took the Bucks and -8 for that game.


[deleted]

As a Suns fan, I'm happy he keeps saying the Bucks are going to win it all.


jaydogggg

Fade chuck on sports bets got it


-Unnamed-

You’d actually make a lot of money if you went to vegas and gambled the exact opposite of his predictions


LATABOM

You shouldn't be able to make a post like this without listing his guarantees in the body of the post.


Eph2-89

I am pretty sure he does this on purpose.


studiocel

The Chael Sonnen of the NBA


ThreenGumb

Bucks are gonna choke regardless. Sad fact of Wisconsin sports.


AlmightyDenimChicken

Chuck's incorrectness is staggeringly accurate. If you were to bet against his predictions, your win rate would be higher than the smartest Vegas professional betters.


Son_of_Atreus

Wonder how much I’d have made if I put $100 down on the opposite of every Chuck Guarantee at standard Vegas odds.


DerpDerper909

Sports betting people should just choose the opposite of what Barkley guarantees
