"Those guys are actually a whiny bunch," Barkley said.

Barkley said his view is the Heat have proven to be a thin-skinned group.

"They never take any personal responsibility to why people take shots at them," he said.

He noted the Heat's reaction to criticism of how LeBron James announced his free-agent decision to leave the Cleveland Cavaliers, as well as James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh talking about multiple championships before playing their first game together.

"I love, 'The Miami Heat is losing, the world is happy,' " Barkley said of a comment Wade offered amid the Heat's uneven play at midseason. "First of all, nobody is thinking about the Miami Heat. You guys are good guys. You're the guys who came out and said, 'We're not (only) going to win one, two, three, four, five, six, seven championships...' We're like, 'Really?' "

First they really angered Charles. I know he used to ride the LeBron James wagon last year. I think him leaving and joining to become a supergroup angered him. Which it probably should since they boasted and acted like they were the best thing since slice bread when they never played game which leads me to
Secondly that is the reason why Boston big 3 will always be better. Yeah I sound like a homer and yea Miami may win more and I say may because I don't know what's gonna happen to all the younger teams, but anyways Boston's big 3 never said how many championships they were gonna win, they never boasted and had a cocky like attitude before they played a game. They said they haven't won nothing yet and they have to prove together that they can win. They didn't even feel worthy at first of the big 3 name. Those three never tasted  the top like LeBron being in the finals and Wade winning a championship have. The farthest they've been was the conference finals before joining together. That team with those big 3 were truly hungry.
Third agree with Charles no one wants to see them fail like Wade said. He wants to be the victim with his team, but they put themselves in that spot. They did the whole stage, smoke, and WWE music flexing their muscles. They were the ones yelling and claiming they were the best big 3 ever assembled when they never played a game. They were the ones claiming a championship title before the season even started. They thought it would be a cakewalk and everyone would lie down. What happened was not only did no one lie down, but they Showed how non invicible they were. Right now they're dealing with a recent butt whooping from Chicago and Chicago said they didn't play all too well and feel they can play better and that team will not back down.

In my opinion Miami do not have a team for championship. Not only the bench is poor but the team in general does not look a real champion team.

Hooray for Sir Charles! :)

Glad he took them to task for that pathetic 'The Miami Heat are losing, the world is happy' quote. Possibly the most ridicule-worthy thing said by an NBA player this year.

Bulls in 6 games I think.

I'm going to start picking Charles in my death pools. A few more comments like that and he's going to disappear and we're going to be hearing another one of those bizarre comments from Stern about knowing where the bodies are buried.


Not that I bet in death pools, because I don't
