    so, how is that the players don't know that the winner is already determined?

    haven't liked Stern's star-driven, one-on-one, ref-dictated, basketball-like entertainment product for a long time now.

    I've probably watched less than 5 hours of non-Spurs, non-Steve Nash NBA basketball in the last 5-6 years, and now that they are done, so am I.

    I'll always be a Spurs fan, and I'll follow the moves they make, but I will not support the NBA

    so take that! Stern

    of course they know it's bull .

    It's that thought in their head right before they remember how lucky they are for never ever having to worry about anything thanks to their skill in tossing around a big orange for half a year.

    They know if they play perfectly they may be able to overcome the biased officiating. When they fail to play perfectly and the biased officiating begin to overwhelm them, they pretty much just throw their hands up, much like Ginobili did after the charge call on him that wiped away the Leonard 3.

    Fair question.

    But the same thing can be asked about office politics. You know your better at a job than your co-worker, but you don't get the position, they do. Are you in on the fix? No. But what can you do. You can't quit. If you bring it up, you run the risk of being shunned. So you just keep pluggin away and continue doing your job, because even though it sucks, if you don't you'll be fired.

    Or you can always look for employment elsewhere.

    I don't know man. I'm just trying to show that it's not something that doesn't already happen in everyday life. The NBA is ultimately a business.

    I said it's a fair question. I would love and NBA player to say something.

    If you had no problem with the way the '06 finals went down, then good for you.

    If you do, then shame on Dirk for not saying something.

    Stupid question. Why would the players HAVE to know?
    What would force Stern to tell them? It isn't "scripted", teams
    are not pulling any punches, it's the officiating that has such a
    huge effect on the game.

    I thought the officiating was shoddy through much of the
    Thunder-Spurs series. But in game 6, it was made so painfully
    apparent, because they probably felt, that if the Spurs actually
    won game 6 in OKC, that they'd have the power to actually overcome
    the one-sided officiating in their arena in game 7. & that's a chance
    Stern was not willing to take.

    no, if its rigged and they don't know it, then its stupid players.

    its also been suggested that the owners know and that stern does it so they'll make more money from it.
