Pelicans Headed to a Salty Destination After Dismal Playoff Performance
Los Angeles, CA – Former NBA star and legendary analyst Charles Barkley did not mince words when criticizing the New Orleans Pelicans following their Game 3 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the ongoing playoff series.

A Trip to “Dirty” Galveston
“Where they going, Chuck?” asked fellow analyst Shaquille O’Neal.
Barkley’s response was met with a loud burst of laughter. “Galveston,” he exclaimed. “That dirty a– water. We not even gonna send them to Cancun. We’re gonna send them to Galveston where that dirty a– water be washing up on the shore. You people think they’re at the beach.”
Barkley continued his rant, emphasizing the Pelicans’ lack of effort. “We ain’t giving them no plane ticket to the beach. We send their a– to Galveston, Texas, right where that dirty water washes up on the beach. They can’t even get in the water.”
Thunder on the Brink of Series Triumph
Oklahoma City is now in a commanding position in the series, needing just one more win to advance to the next round. The Thunder are on the cusp of their first playoff series victory since reaching the NBA Finals in 2016.
If the Thunder do indeed close out the series, they will face either the Los Angeles Clippers or the Dallas Mavericks, who are currently engaged in a thrilling series of their own. The Mavericks currently hold a 2-1 advantage over the Clippers.
