Charles Barkley just made a bold claim during NBA on TNT.
Although Chuck expects the Warriors to win an NBA-record 73rd regular season game on Wednesdays, he does not expect them to win the NBA title this postseason.

There are plenty of reasons to believe that the Warriors won't win a championship in 2016. But to guarantee it? That's going out on a limb.

Charles Barkley on the Thunder: "They're the deepest team in the NBA."
— Royce Young (@royceyoung) April 13, 2016
The Thunder are of course a great team, and if they can reach the NBA Finals then they'll have a great shot at their first title. However, they'll need to deal with San Antonio and Golden State before even thinking about an Eastern Conference team.
This is the second time Barkley has said the Warriors won't win it all in the last few weeks. He previously mentioned it while appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The difference now is that the Warriors have already tied the single-season wins record with 72, and no team winning 69 or more regular season games has NOT gone on to win the NBA title.
Only time will tell if Chuck's guarantee holds true.
