The NBA Finals are right around the corner with the Boston Celtics taking on the Golden State Warriors. Although many believe that the Celtics had one of the toughest paths to the Finals, an eminent journalist thinks otherwise. Talking on his famous show, Skip Bayless ridicules Jayson Tatum and his team.

Most of the time, Skip can be found criticizing LeBron James, and this time around, his target is the Boston Celtics. NFL legend Shannon Sharpe talks about how the finals can go to a Game 7 when he is interrupted by Bayless.

Skip shocks Shannon with his views as he bashes the Celtics and how they made their way into the NBA Finals. Bayless said, “In the end, the Warriors are gonna win a seventh game at home and I’ll tell you why. In the end, in the biggest picture, I was not that impressed with what your Celtics just did, their path to the finals.”

Bayless has a reason behind his thought process. He talks about how the Brooklyn Nets are an internal mess which allowed the Celtics to get the better of them easily.

Moreover, he talks about how the Celtics got lucky against the Miami Heat. The injury to Tyler Herro gave the Celtics the win against the Heat according to him.
