Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith have seen better basketball from the Boston Celtics.
During halftime of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals at TD Garden, the “NBA on TNT” analysts couldn’t be bothered to discuss the Celtics’ performance against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Boston was trailing 72-31 at the break, with the 41-point margin representing the most lopsided half in NBA postseason history.
So we’ll just have to forgive Barkley and Smith for playing “Go Fish” instead of breaking down highlights.

The Celtics ultimately lost 130-86, giving Cleveland a 2-0 series lead.
The teams will meet at 8:30 p.m. ET on Sunday at Quicken Loans Arena in Game 3.
Perhaps that contest will be competitive enough to hold Barkley’s and Smith’s attention.
