Charles Barkley calls Knicks ‘overrated’ after fans erupt in ‘We want Boston’ chants

Charles Barkley doesn’t care who wins the NBA Finals, but he has a feeling about what will happen in the Eastern Conference finals.

“I would love to see them get they [expletive] stomped by the Celtics,” Barkley said about the New York Knicks on “Inside the NBA” following their 130-121 win over the Indiana Pacers Wednesday night. “I’m just saying, whoever wins this series is going to get stomped by the Celtics.”

The NBA analyst didn’t mince words when he expressed his desire for a Boston-New York showdown. With the Knicks leading the Pacers 2-0 in their second-round playoff series, they could make their first conference finals appearance since 2000.
