Charles Barkley Calls Out ‘Trash’ NBA Stars As Coaches Receive Blame For Disappointing Season

Sir Charles Barkley acknowledged the awkward truth of these NBA superteams being eliminated in the first round of the Playoffs ... the players are the ones who suck, not the coaches.

Major questions surround the Lakers and Suns after they lost their respective playoff series. They boast expensive rosters but lack a real plan for long-term success.

As a result of their letdowns this postseason, both the NBA media and fans are looking toward the coaches as the sources of their problems. However, Barkley said these 'bozos' are placing blame in the wrong places.

Lakers coach Darvin Ham has been rumored to be on the way out after two seasons, and Suns coach Frank Vogel may be a tragic case of 'one-and-done' in Phoenix after falling short of expectations set on their Big 3 featuring Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and the newly acquired Bradley Beal.

Chuck acknowledged that media members hoping to stay friendly with players tend to point fingers at the coaches rather than call out the issue with the players.

Barkley sounded ticked off by mindless fans and media folk.

"Part of our job, we watch all the games, we watch all the talk shows, all of these people on television, they're cowards because they want the players to like them. They don't want to do their job, which is to tell the truth.

"And I just want to say this about coaching, anybody who thinks the Lakers suck
