Inside the NBA co-host Charles Barkley wanted everyone to watch the Chicago Bulls and Toronto Raptors game, even if it wasn’t, y’know, all that exciting.
That’s how Barkley framed his hysterical plug for the game on Thursday night between two teams with a losing record, as he admitted in a program transition that this, well, wasn’t going to be the best game of the season.
If you were excited for the Bulls and the Raptors game, more power to you. It might’ve been a good one!
However, there were probably more than a few casual NBA fans who needed a little extra motivation to stick around for this one as opposed to doing something else.

Barkley likely spoke for plenty of NBA fans who would’ve preferred another game on the Thursday slate to be in the prime time slot.
However, you never know when one of these games could turn out to be a hidden gem. The luck of the draw!
