It's safe to say Charles Barkley isn't a huge fan of Russell Westbrook's pregame outfit. 

Several hours before tipoff for the Clippers-Mavericks game, TNT's camera crew showed Westbrook wearing a pink tank top with a matching beanie. 

In typical Charles Barkley fashion, he mocked Westbrook's outfit. He believes the former All-Star guard was dressed for bed, not Game 5 of a playoff series.

"That's how you go to bed," Barkley said. "That's how you go to bed right there. Damn!" 

The rest of the "Inside the NBA" crew couldn't help but laugh at Barkley's comments. 

Thankfully, the official social media account for NBA on TNT shared this moment on X just a few moments ago.

With Kawhi Leonard out for Game 5, the Clippers will need Westbrook to step up. He has just 13 points in the past three games combined.

The Clippers tied up the series this past Sunday thanks to a heroic performance from James Harden. The former MVP took over in the fourth quarter with several tough floaters. 

Paul George also played a pivotal role in Game 4, scoring 33 points for the Clippers.

Game 5 will tip off at 10 p.m. ET.
