The NBA regular season can be a slog, especially when you’re forced to sit through a Lakers game in which they trailed by 10+ points for all but the first eight minutes. So you can’t blame Charles Barkley for dozing off during Inside the NBA like he was a college student at a 9 a.m. philosophy class. And you can’t blame the rest of the panel for mercilessly mocking Chuck for doing so.

You can blame them for stepping over each others’ lines, particularly when Barkley is trying to get out a zinger about Scandal. Shaq’s “Chuck-alepsy” line made up for it though. Isn’t that right, sleepy Mike Francesa?
