There’s one reason to root for the Warriors to reach the Western Conference finals.

Charles Barkley and Draymond Green had a quickly escalating feud on Tuesday night. It started with Barkley saying, “I just want to see somebody punch him in the face,” as a shot of Green and Pelicans guard Rajon Rondo showed on the screen at halftime of the Warriors’ 121-116 win over the Pelicans.

It’d be shocking from any other NBA analyst, but not from the outspoken Barkley. And word quickly got back to Green, who was asked about it after the victory.

“I heard what he said. A lot of guys talk on TV, stand behind a microphone and a TV screen,” Green told reporters. “The fact of the matter is if you feel that strongly about something, he’s seen me a million times. If you feel that strongly about it, then punch me in my face when you see me.”

The two will likely be in proximity soon. TNT is covering the Western Conference finals and travels with the series, which the Warriors are two wins away from reaching.

Green also raised a serious question when it comes to Barkley’s standing as one of the top analysts in the league.

“I think it’s pretty sad. It’s probably something that needs to … when you look at the president of TNT, David Levy, which I know well, it’s kind of embarrassing on their behalf …,” Green said, according to Tim Kawakami of The Athletic.

“I’m an employee of the NBA, he’s an employee of TNT. And you have your biggest sponsor, one of the faces of that company, saying that on national television. That’s embarrassing for them. So that’s something — a problem that they have.”
