Skip Bayless blames LeBron James for the Suns’ loss in Game 5
Before the game tonight, the Suns were on an 8 unbeaten home streak these playoffs. Overall, they have been 8-1 at home, with the only loss coming against LeBron James and the Lakers. However, Giannis and co. had different plans tonight. They came out and dominated the Suns, and registered their third straight win in the series.
Skip Bayless, after he was done fuming about the entire game, realized the main reason the Suns lost. Even though the reason had been in front of him all game, Skip had to wait and complete his role as an analyst before revealing what was actually on his mind. As expected, he chose LeBron James as the fall-guy for everything that went wrong tonight.
This is what happens when LeBron shows up to root for you in a huge NBA Finals home game.
