Listen to The Skip Bayless Show podcast: sprtspod.fox/SkipBaylessShowPodcast

[@abtrtomr]

Your show is the best. 3 Smart guys. You backup your "takes" with facts. You acknowledge where you were wrong. You adjust your analysis on current and changing information. You don't just take a hater stance and stick to it. You can be reasoned with. You have integrity. Skipless is horrible with analysis. Shannon should get rid of skipless and find another show. He's the heart and soul of that show. Plus, skipless is too much of a hater where he can't admit even the most basic facts if he has to admit he is wrong with his "takes." skipless is captain obvious also. He starts off with, "OK, my turn..." Then it's a bunch of nonsense. Lame.

Rather? It don’t matter at all, we know we can win so why try ducking a team everyone think we’ll have to play either way? Plus come on man who in they right mind actually scared of Kd and dbook?

[@raymondsims7042]

no mate f that!!!!!!! We’re winning the championship this year!!! If you’re not riding with us jump off now. Are you kidding me?

[@CriusXI]

@@Reallyjoyboyfr Why would you want to get into an exhausting first round series against a great team who are one of the favorites, over a young inexperienced team with a lack of defense? Time to be realistic. We have 7 new guys that are doing their best to gain chemistry, no training camp under their belt, and a first year head coach. It’s called working smarter not harder. It would be much better to face them later into the playoffs and not earlier. That way, you can learn their weaknesses before competing against them

[@CriusXI]

@@raymondsims7042 Being realistic means I’m not on the bandwagon despite being a long-time Laker fan who lives in LA? Work smarter not harder. You want an easier matchup in the first round and if you beat them (Kings), you can use film to learn the Suns weaknesses in their playoff series before it’s time for you to compete against them

Cold?? They got D'd up on by a couple of rookies. That's a pretty solid defensive squad without joke. AG, Pope, Brown, and both great 3 point defense rookies, Braun and Watson. Worst defender on the floor is MPJ at 6'10 or Murray.

I totally disagree with Bru about the Suns. The earlier you play them the better. If you give them a series to continue to gel and get their rhythm they become a much scarier team. If the Lakers can knock them out early then the rest of the West is a cakewalk.
