If you’re planning on enjoying the NBA Finals, don’t blink.
That’s the advice of Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson, who will serve as the ESPN analysts for the deja vu all over again series between the Warriors and Cavaliers.
Van Gundy, pride of Alhambra High School in Martinez, and Jackson, who preceded Steve Kerr as coach of the Warriors, are leaning toward a Warriors victory in four games — only because three games is mathematically impossible.
Oddsmakers are in agreement, and have made the Cavaliers a 12-point underdog for Game 1 on Thursday night — the largest point spread for a Finals-opening game since peach baskets.
