[infamous ref quote]how many fouls does shaq have[/infamous ref quote]
Conspiracy is all over the NBA right now. From the "Cuban Whistle crisis", to the officials swallowing their whistles, only to have games settled in a tight fourth quarter. We all throw out there after a lose ready to pull that "the league doesn't want to see my team in the finals" card. But without being a homer, do you really think the NBA is rigged?

OK.............. So then who is going to get the ring next year.....
You got a game break down with point spreads so I can place my bets on Monday..
Why the do you "yes" idiots watch, then?
for the record. i don't think the nba is rigged. i do think that sometimes calls go a certain way for the benefit of the league. that's just the way things are. if you want to win anyway, just be better than that. it happens pretty often.
No . They probably watch because WWE isn't on that night. Bunch of in' losers if you ask me, you watch and root for the NBA and think it is rigged! Seriously, that is what little 10-year olds do when they watch pro wrestling.
looking at your username, is your shift key broken? it seems to have gotten better.
You don't think it is rigged, but you believe that calls are specifically called in a team's or player's direction to "benefit" the league. That makes no ing sense what so ever. In other words you think that the league is rigged.
yes, it does. are you arguing that no one gets the "superstar treatment"? they certainly do. but no, they don't fix the outcomes. that would be a ridiculous scandal, and they couldn't keep it a secret. nba refs are notoriously bad, but they influence games, they don't fix them.
Yeah, what you think goes on is the very deifinition of rigging.
You think it's rigged.
Own it.
you're not very good at the internet
You, on the other hand, are very good at being a wishy-washy .
When you say "for the benefit of the league," that means that somebody has maid a conscious effort to manipulate the calls to help the league in some way shape or form. Yet you claim that the league isn't rigged, how contradicting is that?
I believe that there is superstar treatment to an extent, but in no way do I believe that it is intentionally done. No way that the refs are given orders or instuctions to give superstars the calls. The refs are only human, they are influenced by some superstars and some teams, they give them more respect for whatever reason, which leads to getting some calls.
my point is logically consistant. do you understand debate and logic? it doesn't seem like it.
No, you say you don't think it's rigged, and then you describe a rigging situation as what actually happens in the NBA.my point is logically consistant.
It is you who doesn't understand his own argument.
a fair point. maybe the refs are just weak, not crooked. that's possible. my only arguement is that the superstar treatment occurs. I voted in this damn poll, and I voted that the league is NOT rigged. nba refs are awful, but they ONCE AGAIN do not fix games. they are a factor, and teams with players that get the superstar treatment benefit. it's not game fixing, but it's still not right. it's been going on for years though, and we've all just come to accept it. ever since MJ, there's been different standards for different players, to an extreme extent.
that's not rigging. that's influencing. there's a big and important difference.
You voted "on the fence".I voted in this damn poll, and I voted that the league is NOT rigged.
Seriously, you can't even remember the button you pushed?
and in what way does that equal saying that the league is rigged?
In what way does that equal saying that the league is NOT rigged?
okay, you're right it doesn't, however, my saying multiple times in this thread that I don't believe the league is rigged does.
ok, since you guys seem pretty dense. for the record, right now, get ready for it...
THE NBA IS NOT RIGGED
We're dense??? Who is the idiot who claimed that the NBA was NOT rigged, but yet claimed that the refs were giving superstars the calls for the benefit of the league? Who also boldy stated that he voted that the NBA was NOT rigged, a lie, then was called out by a mod for lying? Then in another thread you were calling somebody out for being an idiot because they thought Kobe's wife didn't work, because you claimed that she hosted Top Model, when in fact it is Tyra Banks. Then you said Kobe's wife was Vanessa Williams, who is in fact Rick Fox's wife.
Look, I don't know what you think dense is, but an idiot calling somebody else dense doesn't hold much water. Dense waived bye bye to you years ago, you flew right past dense into borderline re ed.
