    Skip made his career by being a reactionist troll who makes outlandish comments. He is not some ground breaking journalist or a respected member of the media. He is hated and disliked by the large number of the people in his own profession. Jalen Rose destroyed him on air a few years back.

    Yeah I know, it's just weird to me that people always want to redefine things by comparing them to other sports. Like a QB is a QB, a PG is a PG... lol

    And I don't think you HAVE to have coaching or playing experience to e credible... But Skip has discredited himself enough that I have no idea why people still watch his show.

    Pffft mentally tougher. Houston HCA is a joke, can't even hear a proper MVP chant, much less be fazed by the hostile environment.
    Only reason why they won was because we started out sluggish, and Ingles went on fire
    We whooped the Jazz's ass in their own hc, and that place is hostile towards away team.

    I will never root for the Jazz but I respect them. They are tough. They could’ve folded like the Raptors and looked forward to a better season next year but they didn’t quit.

    Now Bayless is saying on Twitter that we got lucky because Rubio and Exum were out and Mitchell got hurt. "Rockets remain suspect." We could be planning the parade and he'd still be talking about how "vulnerable" the Rockets are.

    Skip Bayless is mentally dumber than Skip Bayless (if that's even possible)

    Nah, at that point he'd be like. "I've known all along that they had what it takes"

    “Roads remain suspect. Lots of potholes. Floats vulnerable. Public works budget is WEAK”

    Skip, define “mentally tougher”....lose 4-1 in series

    Media never sympathized with Rockets when Beverley/D-Mo/D-12/Nene ended up hurt during/before the playoffs.
    Don’t give us Teague/Rubio/Exum crying memes, Skippy.

    Skip, you tripped. You ain't an ace 'cause you fell on your face, but a brain enema is on order. Gonna clean you out. You may shout, you may pout, but being brainless is your only out.

    I’ll give them credit
    They were mentally tough
    No Toronto here
    But when Mitchell went out. They had no hope
