Skip Bayless Projects LeBron James and Co. Will Humble the Warriors For Being 'Too Little' in Do-or-Die Game 5

Since the Warriors dynasty emerged, the trio of Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson haven’t looked so helpless. Even during their bad spell after Kevin Durant left, the issues emerged due to injury issues. This ongoing series is the first time they have been together and looked like they cannot handle their opponents. The Lakers lead the series 3-1 at the moment and, largely, the Warriors have struggled against the difficult size matchups. Even Skip Bayless, an ardent LeBron James hater in the past, feels the Warriors will fall to the might of the LA-based team.

Skip Bayless, who had, during the regular season, ridiculed the Lakers, has suddenly jumped ships and become their supporter. In the most recent edition of the Skip and Shannon: Undisputed, the FS1 Analyst predicted the end of the Warriors’ playoffs run this year.

Skip Bayless believes Warriors will lose for being too small

While discussing the upcoming game 5 between the Lakers and the Warriors, Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe shared their picks. While Sharpe, a supporter of the Los Angeles Lakers, predicted they’d be unable to win game 5, Skip Bayless felt otherwise.

The former ESPN analyst projected the Lakers would bag the game. He justified his argument by pointing out that the Warriors were too little compared to LeBron James and Co.

Bayless also stated that Steve Kerr and his squad currently have no answer to Anthony Davis. Unless he is a no-show, the Undisputed host believes the Warriors will lose game 5.

Skip Bayless: “I first guessed Lakers in 5. Golden State is on their last leg. They know in the bottom of their hearts and souls the Lakers are better than them.” He further stated, “They know they are just too little for the Los Angeles Lakers. They know they have no answer for Anthony Davis.”

LeBron James and Co. might just wrap this up in game 5

LeBron James and his squad have come back from what were impossible odds to push the defending champions into a corner. From starting the season at 2-10, they have moved up to the point where they are up 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals.

The momentum is on their side. While it is indeed on GSW’s home turf, the previous win must have been suffocating for Golden State. In the upcoming game, while we may see an intense performance from Stephen Curry, the Lakers, with their deep bench and key role players, have a much better chance of winning the game.
