The Golden State Warriors had an abysmal showing tonight. Hosting the Kings for Game 6, Stephen Curry and the Warriors were the favorites to close things at home tonight. However, things did not go the way they had planned. As soon as the game ended, Skip Bayless, who could not believe what had happened, chose this as the perfect point to bring up LeBron James, who is playing a close-out Game 6 at home himself.

Stephen Curry had a 29-point performance, but the Warriors seemed like they weren’t playing with heart at home tonight. They ended up losing the contest 118-99.
This now levels the series and takes it back to Sacramento, who will host Game 7 on Sunday. With the Lakers hosting the Grizzlies for Game 6 tonight, how could Skip miss on dropping a LeBron James comparison?
Skip Bayless ‘hopes’ LeBron James does not make the same mistake as Stephen Curry
The Golden State Warriors dropped a ‘Golden’ chance to take the series at home. Now they’ll have to head back to Golden 1 Center to finish the series. Seeing how the Warriors did, Skip Bayless took it to his Twitter to talk about the same.
For once in his life, Skip had picked the Warriors to take the game, and they ended up losing it.
WAIT A SECOND. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THE “GOLD-BLOODED” WARRIORS JUST BLEW A GIMME AT HOME – GOT BLOWN OUT! – AND GAVE THE KINGS ONE MORE SHOT BACK IN COWBELL HEAVEN IN A GAME 7??? SURELY THEY CAN WIN A SECOND STRAIGHT AT SAC. RIGHT? RIGHT???

However, Skip knows how to make lemonade. He used the loss Stephen Curry and the Warriors suffered to bring in his favorite keyword, LeBron James.
Surely LeBron will not let happen to the Lakers what just happened to the Warriors.

However, it looks like LeBron James will actually not let the Lakers suffer the same fate as the Warriors. The Purple and Gold are up 59-42 at half time, and have a strong hold on the game.
Can the Warriors take Game 7?
The Warriors winning Game 5 in Sacramento was a huge surprise, and very few people expected it. After dropping Game 6 at home, the defending champions have no choice but to go to Sac-Town and win Game 7.
Stephen Curry showed us a flurry in the 4th, scoring 11 in the 4th before Steve Kerr shut him down. However, if the Dubs want to advance on Sunday, they’d a team performance, just like they had in Game 5.
