Los Angeles Clippers fans are not going to like what Skip Bayless had to say before their Game 5 matchup vs. Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Playoffs.

Skip Bayless has been riding shotgun in the Los Angeles Clippers bandwagon but he may hurt himself jumping off in favor of the Phoenix Suns.

The FS1 talking head has never been shy about saying something controversial, especially on Twitter, and he was sure to say something that would ruffle a few feathers in Hollywood.

Before tip-off in the elimination game against Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and the Suns, Bayless tweeted he was certain the Suns were going to be headed to the NBA Finals by the end of the night.

Skip Bayless has the Suns in the NBA Finals

It’s almost like the Clippers had notifications on for Bayless because they got off to a sizzling start. The Clippers took a 20-5 lead with 6:59 left in the first quarter and it looked like Bayless was going to find himself on Freezing Cold Takes.

The Suns went on a 16-5 run of their own after the hot start from the Clippers to regain some footing. Was this a case of the Clippers coming out and giving the Suns their best punch? If so, the Suns withstood the charge relatively well and the next 3.5 quarters should be telling.

Will the Suns make Bayless look downright prophetic? Or will the Clippers make Bayless look downright pathetic?
