Bayless is picking the Mavs to win it!

Back in 2004, the Boston Red Sox became the first team in MLB history to come back from a three-game deficit in the postseason, beating the New York Yankees in seven games and then going on to win the World Series.

Skip Bayless believes that NBA fans might be on the verge of seeing similar history be made.
On Twitter, Bayless claimed that the Dallas Mavericks are better than the Boston Celtics, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are a strong duo, and Doncic will perform even better in Boston during Game 5.

Because of that, he thinks the Mavericks can be the first NBA team to come back from being down 0-3 in the Finals.

Skip Bayless is an idiot. He's the dumbass that wrote that story 30 years ago claiming that Troy Aikman is gay.

I pay just as much attention to Bayless as I do to Rachel Madcow.

Most of us are onto Skip's game. He finds the most controversial position on a sports topic and runs with it. Used to get eyeballs to his newspaper column, now he just whores for buzz on social media. Funny that he never follows up on the things he gets wrong. That list would stun a mastodon. He just moves on to the next tall tale. That's my opinion, anyway.

For any other team to win 3 straight games in Boston is crazy. And to do it and win a championship is bat shit crazy. :lol:
What I don't understand is how they could have lost so badly in Dallas! Was the "fix" in so they could go home and win it in front of their fans?

They don't have to win three straight in Boston. Game six is in Dallas.

That's good. It will give the Mavs more incentive. :D

Although I agree about Bayless, I also still remember that he was the only person on the planet to predict that Baylor would win the SWC football championship in 1980. As he said at the time: "You heard it here first. And last."
