Jeff Van Gundy & Mark Jackson should not be an analyst for these games…they are so prejudiced towards the Lakers. When the Lakers beat Boston badly in Game 1 they couldn’t help but say good things about the Lakers but they still spent more time about what Boston didn’t do right…Then in game two, whenever the Lakers made a good play they talked about how badly Boston defended…When Boston made a great play, they spent all their energies talking about how great a play Boston did. Just listen to how they talk…it’s very pro Boston! Not good for being analysts.
