NBA is FIXED!

[RussN]

Well, Tim Donaghy said that the 2002 NBA Lakers-Kings series was fixed to let the Lakers win game 6 to push it to game 7. Lakers shot 27 free throws in the 4th quarter in that game.

This is all on SportsCenter right now. I bet Tim Donaghy comes out with a book once he is in jail with a tell all about all the games that were fixed.

I think a lot of us suspected this of the NBA, but DAMN.

At least we know that the NBA never wants the Spurs to win and our championships aren't tainted. And at least we know they will be fair now.

*by the Lakers 2002 championship.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

wow...

[angelbelow]

very interesting, i wonder what other series were manipulated like this.

[E20]

If this is true then, in your face Phil Jackson. You fucking Coloner Sanders look alike ass gets the asterisk in the end. Someone give me Phil jacksons email.

[LakeShow]

all titles 2002-2007 deserve *

[rAm]

Let's not completely jump to conclusions, remember his situation. You would want the blame to be spread out among all refs and Stern's corrupt organization rather than taking all the blame yourself.

But then again, a lot of it makes sense. And I wouldn't put anything like this past Stern. He just SMELLS of collusion.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

all titles 2002-2007 deserve *

Hell maybe even 2008.

[Mr. Body]

Game 7 of the 2000 Blazers-Lakers series was highly suspicious.

[2centsworth]

that game was clearly fixed('02 Sac). I couldn't believe my eyes.

[atxrocker]

sacramento got raped by the league and everybody fucking knows it. initially i tried not to be too upset when i heard this but fuck that. they singlehandidly fucking robbed our franchises chance of a championship.

Yeah, B/C Clev and NJ were clearly on par with us, WTF was I thinking. Det is the only team close enough to even consider.

[Spur-Addict]

Hell yes. That Portland team was loaded.

That game was a given.

[AceProfits]

Suspicious games and or series:

2000 game 7 lakers vs. blazers.
2001 game 6 lakers vs kings
.04 derek fisher.
2006 Mavericks vs heat
2006 Mavericks vs spurs

add to the list guys...

[Pero]

Well I didn't think it was fixed, but the refs bailed out the Lakers in that series without a doubt.

[2centsworth]

here's the ESPN Article. All sounds plausible.

With the league promoting the Globalization of the NBA, the Spurs were the poster team for them during those times. It would bring in doubt their titles as well. Along with the officiating in this years finals. I said in the other thread, if the Lakers don't get the calls tonight, I will be a believer in the league being shaky.

G3 of the 99 finals.
3' Elie 2 fouls.

Wait untill you see the 08 G3.............

I thought all Laker fans already believed it after they got assraped by Detroit in 04.

The ONLY way that international fans would come close to believe that the NBA is NOT just business is a small market team winning 4 titles.

A big market winning is, literally, more than inplausible, it is INCREDIBLE.

And G3 of 08 will be a treat..............

I have had thoughts but didn't want to believe it because i love the game.

[Marcus Bryant]

Rofl.

[hater]

2006 series vs. Mavs is highly suspicious too.


NBA is BS

[romsho]

But what about Laker Lanny's "Circle of Seven" game fixers...aren't they supposed to work against the Lakers?

[Marcus Bryant]

Isn't most of this shit common knowledge? Stars get preferential treatment from the refs? Shocker. Teams complain to the league about a particular player's first step and suddenly he gets called for traveling 20 times in a row (yes, Sean)? Incredible.

As for "globalization", perhaps. The Mavs did seem to get the favor of the whistle in '06.

[Marcus Bryant]

Yes, the NBA wants to build its 'global' marketing campaign around Argentina, France, Slovenia, and the US Virgin Islands.

Apparently the NBA would rather forego another playoff series with China's favorite athlete in favor of a top 5 US media market.

[bigfish22]

Only logical if Phil Jackson wants to keep making his claims

1999* = 2002*

My friend...your team were the champions that year.
