Thunderef vs Lakeref: Who will Stern favor?

[Fabbs]

All time WWE fixture Lakers with poster boi for rigged reffing Knobbee Bryant?

Or new marketing tools Durant and Westbrick?

#1 vs #8.
The snappy dressers vs the Burqua Bois.
Who you got?

[OKC]

OKC is a medicore team who only wins games due to favoritism from the refs.

[Fabbs]

^^ i dunno, they put together some pretty good games vs the Spurs before the rigged game 6.
Trading The Beard was retarded tho.

Gonna need those zebras even more now.

I'm just screwing with you. There's posters here who have claimed that OKC is a mediocre NBA team who only wins games due to being favored by the refs. I find that pretty laughable. Yeah I wish we had Harden, for sure. Oh well. I guess Martin is going to have to step it up and Fisher will have to go into playoff hero mode again. I will say though that Reggie Damn Jackson is coming on STRONG. Looking like a very legit playmaking guard with team leading athleticism and ability to finish.

In all honesty though, the Lakers absolutely cannot beat OKC in a 7 game series. They probably have the worst chance of any playoff team in the West to beat OKC.

We have to see exactly where the the loss of Harden settles. He wouldn't be a party to any of our tactics & machinations. None of it. Like Perkins in Boston wasn't. His absence will open a void.

[elec99]

These 2 teams match up well against each other, though of course odds are against LA. I'm betting Stern didn't anticipate having to decide between two NBA darlings though, gonna be interesting to watch. I'm sure he'd choose the larger market but who knows.

As for ref bias of course it exists. You just hope the bias isn't in the last 5 minutes of a game where it would make a difference. A good team can shake off early bad calls, but with the clock winding down it can change a game.

Martin is the second coming of Jordan tbh. He will lead OKC to the promised land.

Even if Stern helps the Lakers, they still wont beat OKC

They are just not good enough :lol

OKC in 7. Gotta go back to the Harden trade. As a Spurs fan, he is what made OKC scary. I think his loss will cost them a couple close games. Not enough to lose the series but with Kobe being across the court and Nash still being able to knock down a couple of 3s, I can see this series going the distance, whether refs get too involved or not.

[HI-FI]

this is a great question and one that finds STern in a tough position. it's like asking if you prefer your original son or your newest one....

I think Stern realizes that Kupchak has assembled a $100 million shit sandwich and there's not much he can do to save it. also, his original son, the Lakers, have had their moment in the spotlight, the Thunder still need to win a championship in order to validate Durant and validate Stern's horrible decision to approve the Sonics' relocation.

so I say Stern gives Thunderefs more of a hookup, but they really don't need it against Lakers. Thunderefs beat Lakerefs in 5, maybe 6 just so the league can make some extra coin on it.

The sad thing is I really think you've probably convinced yourself to believe this conspiracy horseshit. People and their conspiracy theories - lame attempt to divert attention away from the real reason for others' success.
Also, there's a brewery in Oklahoma called Choc. Go look their brews up on beeradvocate.com and notice how much higher rated they are than Shiner junk.

Mostly the San Antonio contingent. Some of it has leaked into the Dallas people, but, they're not as rabid and paranoid as the Spurs guys. Frankly, I think they just agree with some of it to appear weak & vulnerable/From years of denial at ring.

Stern will always favor the Lakers, and he'll do anything he can to keep them relevant. This year's job will be difficult, because they suck. Despite the fact that he did his shell game to get them Dwight instead of Chris Paul, and enabled them to keep Pau instead of trading him, the Lakers still suck...all because K. Bryant is so overrated it's not even funny. However...one thing Bryant can still do is dribble around until a whistle blows, then make two free throws. That's what Stern has to work with. So he'll do everything he can to get the Lakers to a Game 7, and I'm sure he'll want the Lakers to win that Game 7.

[irishock]

The Lakers are still Stern's team no matter what. The Thunder will still be good for years to come, but the Lakers pretty much have a 2 year window to win it all, and then they'd be forced to rebuild due to the tax situation

I'd ask if anyone has an opine or information if the Jazz are animated & directed to make the playoffs, or, just marking time, but, I don't want to be ostracized for 3 fuckin' days over it.

Gentlemen, of course OKC will win the series. That wasnt the question. the question was who will stern favor: Thunderef or Lakeref.

its very important to understand that these are four very different teams. The Thunderefs are a fast moving, foul selling, high flying, hot FT shooting, shot blocking, highlight reel juggernaut. The THUNDER struggle without their best playmaker Harden, and unfortunately rely on a somewhat selfish, ego filled, highly baitable, questionable 4th quarter alpha dog (westbrook) , and a beta who is afraid to take the reigns. The THUNDER, unaided, are a monkey balling, pump fake biting, horrible flopping, mentally fragile team that doesnt have NEARLY the level of coaching, poise and composure to play through their opponents athleticism matching intense Defense. (See finals).

My point is this. The Thunderefs would EASILY SWEEP the lakers. However, the Lakerefs would play one hell of a series against the Thunder with NO LESS than 6 games, POSSIBLY 7.

for my hard earned money, give me the Thunder over the Lakerefs in 6 games. Stern is all about them storylines, and it Should be a great series, quite frankly.

[Latarian Milton]

lakers will be favored for this one imho. OKC are safe as the #2 seed and stern wont want them to take the #1 only to fight his other loveboy (lakers) in the first round head 2 head, while the lakers being chased by jazz and the difference between the two teams is no bigger than one game. stern will give a win to the lakers and help them clinch the #8 spot imho

[Jacob1983]

Isn't it sad that the NBA is the main sport where fans talk so much about the officiating? What does that say about Stern and the NBA?

perhaps that's because its way more difficult to rig a football or baseball game than rigging a basketball game imho. plus, the majority of NBA players are niggas and most them niggas are too dumb to comspire against any unfair treatment stern imposes on them

i've had this theory as well my yella nigga. I think the owners underestimate their audience. think back to 2002 WCF, Stern and his henchman probably realized they can hookup their golden franchise, people might notice something is off, but would forget about it in time. They probably didn't think that niggas would have recorded this shit, that videos would be uploaded and streamed on youtube, and this example of shadiness would still be talked about and studied. Same with the lottery being discussed in further detail. They probably imagine a lot of their fans are living in projects, drinking grape juice and smoking dro all day, and that's probably true to a large extent. But a lot more people notice some of the WWE shit that goes on.

[Jacob1983]

Casual douchebag fans don't notice the rigging. Real NBA fans know that this shit happens.

It would be pretty ironic to see the Lakers getting more whistles than the Thunder. That series will average 40+ FTA's for both teams combined in every game easily....

Lakers are going to get good treatment by ref and co. I can see Metta turning into Artest, commiting a flagrant foul on westbrook... possibly breaking a bone, and now the lakers move on to the 2nd round with the media talking about a kobe/lebron matchup we all thought wasn't possibe anymore.

Stern without a doubt favors OKC. See CP3 trade veto.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Laker fans still talk about the Paul trade?..even though it's evident by now that Kobe can't play with another ball-dominant PG?..

The Hornets best players would have been Dragic(good player, not a top 2 guy), Kevin Martin(:lol) and a severely declining Luis Scola..their 1st round pick would have been from the Knicks, the 2nd seed in the East, which would have been a bad pick..Odom wouldn't have reported to New Orleans, either..

More importantly, they would have been good enough for like a 10th seed, which eliminates the chance of acquiring Anthony Davis, their future franchise guy..

OKC just abusing their opponents in their last 4 wins, with a FT deficit in every single one of them. Thunderrefs - whatever.

There's an equally funny one of Durant pushing Delfino and Delfino getting rung up.

Also phaggot Fisher getting his usual unreal b.s. calls. Like jumping in front of Harden and falling down.
