One of the best things about the NBA season being back is we get to hear the crazy rants of Charles Barkley and the rest of the TNT crew again. Barkley appears to be in midseason form already, as he had a hilarious answer when host Ernie Johnson asked him what can stop the Golden State Warriors from winning their third-straight title this season.
Barkley didn't mince words as usual, saying only, “Injuries, a hurricane, tornado, and snow storm” can stop the Warriors from winning it all again. Just another famous quote we can add into Barkley's book of witty lines.

Charles Barkley isn't wrong. If Kevin Durant or Stephen Curry were to get hurt in the playoffs, the Warriors' chances of winning the 2019 Finals would take a hit. As for the three natural disasters Barkley brought up, those would not only stop the Warriors from winning it all, but every team in the NBA.
That's how good Golden State is, though. There literally is no team in the league right now built to beat them in a seven-game series. It would actually take a natural disaster to break up this team.
The Warriors added All-Star big man DeMarcus Cousins this summer in free agency, sending shockwaves throughout the NBA world. Once he fully recovers from his Achilles injury, Cousins will join Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green in the Warriors’ starting lineup. If you're counting at home, that's five All-Stars in one lineup.
