Skip Bayless is known for his passionate sports takes. Good or bad, his takes tend to have fiery undertones. And Bayless was in rare form after the Miami Heat lost to the Boston Celtics in Game 5.
Bayless's explosion was set off by a 4-word tweet from 76ers star Joel Embiid.
Miami needs another Star
— Joel “Troel” Embiid (@JoelEmbiid) May 26, 2022
Safe to say, Skip Bayless did not agree.
“Joel Embiid Tweets last night, ‘the Miami Heat need another star,'” Bayless said. “Baloney they need another star! They got one, who has completely quit on them while acting like he's still playing and that's Jimmy Butler.”
Bayless believes Jimmy Butler quit on the Heat. He then continued by emphatically talking about Tyler Herro.
“And baloney they need another star! They have the freakin' Sixth Man of the Year sitting on the bench in street clothes. He averaged 21 points a game, Tyler Herro. Nobody comes off the bench and impacts a game better than Tyler Herro! He shot 40 percent from three during the regular season and if he had been healthy last night… they win that game.”
The Heat labored offensively all night long. Skip is correct in saying that Herro's offense would have been beneficial for the Heat in the loss. The Heat are hopeful Tyler Herro can return for Game 6. Otherwise, they are going to need all hands on deck in terms of offensive productivity.
Jimmy Butler is struggling offensively regardless of if he quit or not. Kyle Lowry is obviously still battling an injury as well. The only player who was able to consistently find the bottom of the net was Bam Adebayo in Game 5.
Herro could end up being the difference maker in Game 6.
Nonetheless, these are some extremely bold takes from Skip Bayless. The link for his entire “Undisputed” segment will be posted below.
