Barkley lays into Cavs' D in Game 3: 'I've never seen a team that dumb in my life'

Charles Barkley wasn't kind when analyzing the Cleveland Cavaliers' inability to thwart a play-call the Golden State Warriors continuously ran in their 110-102 Game 3 victory Wednesday night.

"I've never seen a team that dumb in my life," said Barkley of Cleveland during NBA TV's postgame show. "The play that Dominique (Wilkins) and Dennis Scott. we talked about before the game, I bet ... how many you think? 10, 12, 15 layups on a simple slip screen.

"For the same play to work that many times, that's just stupidity. You have to blame the players to a certain degree, and the coaches. To run a simple play like that and get a layup every single time, that's just dumb and stupid, plain and simple."

The Warriors now own a 3-0 series lead in this year's Finals, and can capture their third title in four years with a sweep on Friday night if they can knock off Cleveland one last time at Quicken Loans Arena.
