skip tried to say harden flopped on the manu running pick leg pointed out that manu had his arms up(which is illegal as well as a moving pick) so harden couldn't fight through it to reach leonard. basically said skip dont know shyt about basketball.

 

[Texas2step]

I think he sticks with the Heat so he can say he is not a hater and he was rooting for them to win

 

[Blaze007]

I'm pretty sure thats the case. Its sad really, I'm starting to think he has some vendetta against Lebron

What did Stephen predict for game 6 brehs? I missed the show

 

[Fckumeen]

I figured this is what he was doing from the beginning.

Thanks,
one of these days some former NBA player turned analyst is gonna just reach across the desk and slap him on live air

And they'll do it despite being in the production meeting and knowing how the show works

skip knows bron and wade watch the show

picking them actually places more pressure because of expectations rather them playing underdog and using skip bayless as motivation to come through.

this position keeps him in a great place because if he becomes the ultimate heat hater but they reel off 3-4 rings he will look like an idiot on the show

but if he backs them call them great and they win he looks great, if they lose he can just tear them a new one.

It's also about his ego, too.

Miami could've been down 3-0 & he still would've been like just so that in case they come back & win it, he can say he was right.

With him being wrong, he gets to be angry at them for making him wrong.

So it's a win-win for him.

Skip has got that trolling shyt down pat

 

[cornercommission2k12]

a couple of coli posters are playing the same game as skip bayless right now too.

Legler made accurate assessments. Legler predicted that OKC would win the WCF, and Skip feels threatened by someone else's prophetic eye. (Legler doesn't even mf-ing CARE that he called correctly. Aint like Legler was hustlin' the ball into the hoop along with the Thunder last night.)

Skip is crying over spilled milk. Major sour grapes here. Thick as green pea soup, to use a cliche. Today, Skip can't even be slithery/leathery and point to one of his prior predictions that would make him HALF WAY correct about a Spurs loss. Skip must eat that CROW entirely raw and unsalted.

So SBayless is predicting super strenuously that the Heat will when tonight and raise Skip to preeminence once again. Skip is shining the Batman beacon up into the night sky. Can wade be bothered to save the day?

legler aint a black man

american public sees white on white arguments as pure entertainment and its easily digestible.

but jalen is black and white supremacy is still a common factor in american psyche. they see a black man spazzing on a white man most of white america thinks how dare he, what gives him the right to do this, and even most black people get the slave in the field shook watching a run away slave type of talk going "ooohhh uh hes gones get in trouble fo challenging massa this way"

legler will be back tomorrow. and it wont be for a 2 hour on the spot special discussing why host and co host shouldnt yell at each other on air.

He jumped ship and said Boston taking game 6.
