Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless made another stupid prediction regarding the Western Conference Finals, and he’s been called out by an NBA player for it.
The Thunder, led by Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, are white-hot right now and playing great basketball. They dismantled the Spurs and made San Antonio look old, and even Dion Waiters is knocking down big shots.
So of course they had a chance to go into Oakland and battle it out with the Warriors, who played a weaker team to get here (Blazers).
But Bayless didn’t think so.
That was a stupid thing to say, and the Warriors probably didn’t like it, because it essentially gave the Thunder bulletin board material. And they’re a team that thrives off adversity, almost welcoming it, and it fuels them. Westbrook and Durant relish being villains.
But neither of the two leaders fired back at Bayless. In fact, it was Enes Kanter (this tweet was sent in response to Skip’s comment).
Kanter didn’t have a good game by any standards, all things considered, but good on him for putting Bayless on blast.
Enes Kanter is minus 12 in 8 minutes. Warriors are seeking him out

Bayless, again, is left with egg on his face after a stupid, baseless comment that he made to generate a reaction from the public.
