Charles Barkley made one of his many appearances on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” on Tuesday. This time, TNT colleagues Kenny Smith and Ernie Johnson were with him. The show tapes at 3 p.m. MDT, so it was recorded a couple of hours before Game 6 of the NBA Finals. In his dressing room at the NBC Studios in Burbank, Calif., Barkley was asked about the night’s game. “Boston is going to win big,” he said. “The Lakers haven’t been playing with any sense of urgency.
