Mark Jackson tried to play up the Warriors as underdogs and fans weren’t impressed

Mark Jackson, who of course is on the call for Game 6 of the NBA Finals on ABC, sure didn’t win over many fans Thursday night when he tried to play up the Warriors as being underdogs in the series against the Raptors.

The former Warriors coach talked about the injuries and said “the Warriors have no business in this series.”

Sure, Kevin Durant only played 12 minutes in the Finals and Klay Thompson missed Game 3, but they still have Steph Curry, Draymond Green, Thompson, Andre Iguodala and plenty of rings and experience.

So yeah, fans really didn’t want to hear about the underdog storyline when it comes to the two-time defending champs:

Mark Jackson is making the Warriors sound like the 2012 Cavs. Spare me.

Is Marc Jackson serious? The Warriors have no business in this series? Utterly preposterous.

Marc Jackson just said the warriors have no business being in this #NBAFinals. Bro, this is still the WARRIORS! 72 game winning, back to back champs. Gtfoh

Mark Jackson says a team with Curry and Klay, arguably the best shooting tandem in NBA history, is “very limited offensively.” Get out of here. #NBAFinals

Need an NBA team (or two) to hire Marc Jackson and Jeff Van Grundy. They’re not up to the caliber of this game or series.

More Doris, please

Mark Jackson saying how impressive it is that the Warriors are still in this series and how the Raptors are more talented…. Did he forget that Curry, Klay and Draymond are still playing? 😂

Marc Jackson is really trying to say the Warriors are the underdog and had to “Will their way to the finals”

In other news Marc Jackson smokes only the strongest medical 😂

How obnoxious is Marc Jackson on this #NBAFinals2019 broadcast? Everything is a love fest about the warriors. There losing @MarkJackson13

How is Marc Jackson playing the “Warriors shouldn’t even be here” card? 😂😂 they STILL got 3 All Stars starting and one is the 2x unanimous MVP.

Cut it out. #FGSW
