"LeBron James and co will not advance past second round": Skip Bayless adamant about Lakers' postseason chances vs Blazers and Clippers this year

Skip Bayless toots his own horn about Blazers prediction, and warns the LeBron James and the Lakers about their series against the Suns.

Game one of the Lakers vs Suns is set to kick off soon, and fans can’t wait. LeBron James and Chris Paul are known to have been close friends for a long time. And with the two superstars playing at an incredible level right now, a clash between them seems more than just mouthwatering.

Prior to this game though, the Blazers closed out an emphatic win in game one against the Nuggets. The front-runner to be MVP in Nikola Jokic looked almost helpless during the game, as his team lost 109-123.

A Portland win is something infamous analyst Skip Bayless had predicted a few weeks back on his show ‘Undisputed’. And after getting one prediction right, he couldn’t help but warn the King about his other prediction as well.

Skip Bayless is confident that LeBron James and his team will not get past the second round

At this point, Skip Bayless needs no introduction. The 69-year has made a career out of hating on players. And for the longest time, his favorite target has been LeBron James.

For years, the analyst has found a way to involve the player and his team into turmoil that they may not even be remotely involved in. And in his most recent tweet, he managed to do so yet again. Take a look.

As previously mentioned, the Lakers will face off against the Suns in the first round. And if they and the Blazers win their respective first-round series, they will face off against each other in the second round.

But, as many know, this won’t be easy for the Lakeshow. After all, the Suns are the 2 seed and a formidable team. It will take everything the franchise has got to beat them. So by predicting this, is Bayless also backing the Lakers in a way? The world we live in truly is a confusing one.
