Undisputed Host Skip Bayless Hasn’t Seen Anything Like This Year's Miami Heat

Skip Bayless enjoys watching the Miami Heat because of their determination and toughness

The Miami Heat’s season has been full of surprises and comebacks.

The Denver Nuggets went into Game 2 as nine-point favorites to win but the Heat, once again, proved it wrong. Granted, they were struggling to stay in it but they used a huge fourth quarter to even the series at 1.

On Monday, Fox Sports 1 Undisputed host Skip Bayless applauded the Heat for their toughness and admitted he had never seen anything like them before.

“I been watching this league for a long time,” Bayless said. “I never seen anything quite like these Miami Heat. I do love to watch them. I do love to root for them because you never know where it’s going to come from on any given night.”

Just like the regular season, the Heat had to deal with a rough patch in the playoffs. They lost one of their top scorers in Tyler Herro during Game 1 against the Milwaukee Bucks and let the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics go to Game 7.

“I’m going to remind everybody, they lost their regular-season scorer Tyler Herro in Game 1 against Milwaukee,” Bayless said. “He might play in Game 3 back in Miami. But look at them now. They’re one all going home without their best scorer during the regular season. A 20 point a game scorer.”

The Heat kept their heads down in those situations and blocked out the critics. Now, they’re in the NBA Finals, battling for a championship.

The Nuggets are still favorites to win Game 3 but when the Heat are underdogs, they seem to play at their best.
