So Charles Barkley has been having a little fun at the Bay Area's expense during his TNT commentary on the Mavericks-Warriors series. Saying "Oakland sucks" on national television and wearing a Mavericks jersey, well, fine. While it's a bit like rooting for Margaret Dumont in a Marx Bros. film, we suppose Charles knows what he's doing with this schtick. But much more entertaining to us are the shots that Warriors fans are giving in return. Photoshop is fun!

Less fake is the feud between Don Nelson and Mark Cuban. But it's no less entertaining. Did we mention that we hope this series never ends?

UPDATE: The Mavericks apparently have their own Lil Ronnie! Take that, Warriors!
