While on the show, Ernie Johnson asked Green about an Eastern Conference playoff prediction. Green, probably aware of how the Nets' popularity as favorites to win this season, chose Brooklyn Nets. Barkley had to make a comment and interrupted to say the Giannis Antetokounmpo-led Milwaukee Bucks are ready to take on the Nets in Round 2. "Good luck, Chuck," was all Green said in return.

At one point, Green got Barkley to guarantee that the Los Angeles Clippers are going to beat the Dallas Mavericks and an unstoppable Luka Doncic. The series was tied 2-2 then. Now, the Mavericks have a 3-2, fans rooting for a six-game win. Barkley stated that the Clippers had the series in their hands, to which Green urged Barkley to press the button – which a co-host presses when they are sure their prediction will work.

That being said, Green will be on TNT until June 4 (June 5 IST). With the Warriors eliminated from the NBA playoffs after the play-in loss, Green and the Warriors will be facing another challenge next season. The team will have Klay Thompson back, undoubtedly raising expectations people have from the team.
