“AS GREAT AS HE PLAYED, SGA JUST CANNOT FOUL PJ WASHINGTON ON A 3-POINT SHOT,” Bayless said. “CANNOT PUT HIS COACH IN A DESPERATE POSITION OF CHALLENGING WHAT OBVIOUSLY WAS A FOUL AND LOSING THE TIMEOUT THAT COULD’VE GIVEN OKC A GOOD LOOK TO WIN.”
He was referring to the play that ended Oklahoma City Thunders season, in a play that he was involved in. The score was OKC 116 and the Mavs 115 with Luka Doncic with the ball, he drove and then kicked out to P. J. Washington in the corner.
t is no secret that Skip Bayless is one of the most controversial sports commentators in the industry. He is not shy of speaking his mind and telling things as they are. He can be saying stuff that people do not like and he can be wrong at times, but nobody can argue that he has the guts to say what many do not dare to.
However, he learned the hard way that the team’s star player can’t afford to make mistakes in crunch time with some poor defense and no chance for his team to try to come back in the series.
It could be unfair to blame Gilgeous-Alexander for the elimination but like Skip Bayless said, he has to play clean defense and even after the Thunder blew a 17-point halftime lead, when the game was on the line, he did not deliver.
