Jackson calling Warriors’ playoffs is bitter pill to swallow

At the end of the day, one thing is clear. Having Mark Jackson announce Warriors playoff games is extremely awkward.

Not to him, of course.

“I’ve read articles that I shouldn’t be doing it,” Jackson said on an ESPN conference call Monday morning. “To me, that was laughable. It’s been a blast.”

But not always for the viewers, at least not locally. Many have reported muting their television sound because they don’t feel that Jackson is impartial when it comes to the Warriors, the team that fired him last spring. There have been complaints that he sounds bitter at times, that he wants too much credit at other times.
