Bucks had 'impossible task' vs Pacers tonight in Game 4 according to TNT crew....then Bobby Portis got ejected

TNT analyst Charles Barkley suggested that the only way the Bucks have a chance to win any remaining games in their playoff series with the Indiana Pacers without Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard was to make the game a 80s or 90s night.

Both in time period and points.

"They don't have enough players without those two guys unless they walk it up and down the court like back in our day," Barkley said Sunday night.

"I just think its an impossible task," fellow analyst Kenny Smith added on the Tip-Off Show.

And that was before Bobby Portis got ejected for slapping Pacers guard Andrew Nebhard.

Portis earned an early trip to the showers after a scuffle under the basket with Nebhard. Portis received two technical fouls and an ejection, while Nebhard received one technical.

Considering the Bucks were without their top two scorers and down 2-1 in the series, it didn't appear to be the most intelligent move by Portis.

"Bobby has got to be smarter than that plain and simple," Barkley added at halftime.

Most NBA fans on social media agreed:
