Skip Bayless Jinxed Celtics By Comparing Heat To Suns During Game One

Skip Bayless jumped the gun once again while watching Game One of the Celtics-Heat series on Tuesday night.

With Boston controlling the game for most of the first half, Bayless took to social media to compare the Heat’s effort to that of the Suns during their final home game of the season.

After Skip Bayless’s comment, the Heat rode some halftime adjustments and a pissed off Jimmy Butler to come out of the gates hot in the second half.

They outscored the Celtics 39-14 in the third quarter, and would go on to win convincingly, 118-107.

Clearly, the Heat found the right answer to the Celtics’ first half flurry, and will look to use that momentum for the rest of the series.

Maybe next time, Skip Bayless will know to wait before counting out this Miami Heat team.
