    no, if its rigged and they don't know it, then its stupid players.
    If the players know, & they actually brought it to the light,
    they would be fined severely, & it wouldn't change anything.

    Why would anyone rig anything for a team from Oklahoma?
    durant is marketable, the thunder are fun to watch, and i'm sure they draw some of the best tv ratings. they are even one of the top sellers of merchandise.

    Here are the ratings, they were top 5 at midseason

    Overall Ratings
    Top 5
    Team RSN Avg. 2011-12 rating
    San Antonio Spurs FS Southwest 7.94
    Miami Heat Sun Sports 6.49
    Chicago Bulls CSN Chicago 6.10
    Oklahoma City Thunder FS Oklahoma 5.97
    Cleveland Cavaliers FS Ohio 4.91


    And those numbers are growing fast

    Top 5
    Team RSN Change in avg. rating
    Minnesota Timberwolves FS North 140.4%
    Oklahoma City Thunder FS Oklahoma 139.8%
    Los Angeles Clippers Prime Ticket 137.7%
    Philadelphia 76ers CSN 111.8%
    New York Knicks MSG 71.2%

    http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/J.../NBA-RSNs.aspx

    Imagine what a Durant championship would do for their marketability? You guys need to think outside of the box, the nba probably makes the bulk of its money off the big nationally televised playoff games because of the advertisements, how big the local market is only comes secondary and really isn't as important as nationwide marketability.

    You're going balls deep into this.

    I don't know about Iverson or Rodman, nor do I care.
    All I know is that as a fan, I can't even think about this
    because it makes me feel like a cretin for watching.

    I'm not sure but I think this may have something to do with it.


    "A Game 7 matchup of the Heat vs. Thunder in the NBA Finals would set NBA records for TV ratings, and I'd be front and center contributing to the statistics."

    I don't think it's rigged but why should Joey be allowed to ever ref a spurs game. He hates them and hates the face of the franchise.

    that was a charge. i'm just saying they'd have to know.
    If you saw Pop and the Spurs players in game 6 vs OKC, it was obvious they knew. And from the moment Crawford was selected as one of the refs, the messege for the Spurs was clear.

    u know its rigged, when the nba doesnt allow you to show any emotions to retaliate on stupid calls going against you, or calling out the refs in post game interviews only to be fine....

    i think a better question is, do you really believe the refs are told to follow the rulebook exactly as its written and keep calling every foul they see?

    that would slow the game down, make it less exciting and watchable, plus the superstars would suddenly seem less super. both of those things would hurt the league's marketing strategy.
