Miami Heat Have Chance To Prove Skip Bayless Wrong With Win Friday Against Chicago Bulls

When the Miami Heat play the Chicago Bulls Friday, they have a chance to salvage what has been a somewhat disappointing season.

They also have opportunity to prove wrong Fox Sports analyst Skip Bayless. If the Heat can win, it will silence Bayless after he was super critical following their loss to the Atlanta Hawks earlier this week.

Bayless had plenty choice words for the Heat, calling the loss “as shameful and humiliating an effort by a Pat Riley-Erik Spoelstra team."

“I never in my wildest nightmares thought I’d see a Miami Heat team play with that lack of effort and be so lifeless,” Bayless said on Undisputed Wednesday morning. “Every shot that went up, Atlanta was like, ‘I got this.’ It’s like [Clint] Capela was going up over Bam [Adebayo]. Bam looked like he was about 5-11 last night. That was a pathetic effort by him, and he’s an effort player.”

The Heat hope to rebound against the Bulls and avoid laying claim to Bayless’ words. He has been a quiet but consistent advocate for the Heat, so this loss was a revelation for him.

Now, Miami has to go up against a Bulls team they have yet to beat this season. But if there’s any better time to get a win, it would be with the season on the line with everything to gain.
