The Miami Heat are now just a win away from going to the NBA Finals after blowing out the Boston Celtics, 128-102, in Game 3 on Sunday night.
The Celtics had a miserable night from basically the opening tip and now they’ll need a historic comeback to save their season. Star guard Jaylen Brown called their performance “embarrassing” and many are questioning if first-year head coach Joe Mazzulla is in over his head.
Charles Barkley hilariously ripped the Celtics while the “NBA on TNT” crew interviewed Heat guard Gabe Vincent after the game. Vincent offered some praise for the Celtics, which Barkley quickly shot down:
Vincent: "[The Celtics] are a really good team…they're not gonna lay down."
Chuck: "Clearly you didn't watch the game tonight. …Go look at the tape again." 😂 pic.twitter.com/ipZZRWdSDK

Chuck wasn’t wrong – this has been an awful series for the Celtics and it feels like it’s going to come to an end pretty soon.
NBA fans loved Barkley’s take:
