Charles Barkley recently joked on Inside The NBA that the network should remove the remaining games on its schedule featuring the Los Angeles Lakers. On WEEI‘s Merloni, Fauria, & Mego Monday, the crew wondered if the NBA actually had flex scheduling, and if not, they needed to implement it.
“Charles Barkley doesn’t wanna watch the Lakers anymore,” Lou Merloni said. “He wants them off primetime.”
“He’s got a point!,” Christian Fauria said. “It’s too late now. Can they flex NBA games?”
“No, they can’t flex NBA games,” Merloni rebutted.
“They need to,” Fauria joked. “Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, you’ve got the Lakers and whoever.”
“The NBA needs Lebron, but they should put in some more Sacramento Kings games,” Merloni joked, piggybacking off Barkley’s comments.
