Van Gundy said on ESPN that he thought the Lakers where gonna win the series. i am not really sure how they could let this fly.

I agree with Gene, Jeff was the standup guy for being honest and offering to bow out. There is no one to blame other than ABC if the announcing is one sided. I’m just glad I don’t have to hear Bill Walton these finals (hey didn’t Walton announce when Luke Walton’s Lakers were in the Finals?)

Regarding Jeff Van Gundy, I have say, the way he has been calling the playoff’s he’s been pretty unbiased in his commentary. I like the fact that he calls out the ref’s for blowing the whistle way too much, and he’s always been very fair to both teams on the court.

I am surprised but not shocked that ABC would still want Jeff to do the series.

I am pleased that at least Jeff came out and admitted that he is biased toward his brother’s team. A lot of people would claim that they could still be objective when in fact they would not and could not. At least Jeff gave ABC a chance to pick someone else, so if he comes across as somewhat biased, we know where to place the blame.

Stan Van Gundy could not possibly show more bias than did Tom Heinsohn when doing commentary for CBS in the ’80′s when the Lakers and Celtics met in the finals.
