The proof is there that a very poorly and strangely officiated game (Game 3 of Suns-Spurs) was reffed by an official who betted on games, and Spurs fans are still denying that there was any effect on the game or series.
Classic.
in your opinion. hang your hat on that because after that trade today your fave team is starting to hit the skids.
I guess I need to repeat the quote. This was said by an unbiased writer before anything about this ref came out. And Game 3 was by far the most disputed officiating by Suns' fans in this series.
"Congratulations to Greg Willard, Tim Donaghy and Eddie F. Rush for giving us the most atrociously officiated game of the playoffs so far ... Most of the calls favored the Spurs, but I don't even think the refs were biased -- they were so incompetent that there was no rhyme or reason to anything that was happening. Other than the latest call in NBA history (a shooting foul for Ginobili whistled three seconds after the play, when everyone was already running in the other direction), my favorite moment happened near the end, when the game was already over and they called a cheap bump on Bruce Bowen against Nash, so the cameras caught Mike D'Antoni (the most entertaining coach in the league if he's not getting calls) screaming sarcastically, "Why start now? Why bother?" What a travesty."
Keep denying it though.
no, that ref worked last year's series Mavs vs. Spurs. that's why Mavs won.
I will bet $$$$ that he was present and working game 2 of that series.
I'd think the league would want to look into them as well. I remember reading a story about how close the four of them are due to graduating from the same school.Donaghy, a baby-faced 40, is one of four NBA referees to have graduated from Cardinal O'Hara high school in Philadelphia. The others are Joey Crawford, Mike Callahan and Ed Malloy.
now I know why Mavs won last year!!!!
guess the spurs get an * for "would have had one more" then.
BTW, Game 3 was also the game where Jon Barry commented on how bad the officiating was, and where Amare played a little over 20 minutes due to a bunch of very cheap fouls.
I don't think this has anything to do with the Stern or the NBA. But to say the game wasn't affected by the ref at this point is ludicrous.
What's classic is your Magnum P.I. wannabe coach thinking that his teams don't have to play any defense to win a championship, and then lame ass fans like you coming along to hold everyone and everything but your team accountable for it's suck ass playoff performances.
hahahahahhahahaha
Sun fans start to cry again!!!
in love it!!!!!
the wound has been reopened on Sun fans. I can't beleive they are soft as

Michael Vick is my hero.
Looks like this guy definitly had some character issues. Does the NBA not do background checks or what?
TIM DONAGHY: AMERICAN PSYCHO
Somewhere Rasheed Wallace is smiling.
After being villainized in 2003 for nearly pummeling Tim Donaghy after a controversial call (Sheed was suspended 7 games at the time), vultures are swirling around Donaghy for fixing games.
As the thorough investigative reporters we are, we decided to check into the guy's background to see if there was any su ious activity that David Stern should have picked up on. That's when we stumbled across this January 2005 story in the Philadelphia Inquirer about a lawsuit alleging he harassed his neighbors (Note: there was never a follow-up article to this and we therefore don't know the outcome of this case).
Here are some excerpts:
"In the summer of 2003, the suit said, Donaghy initiated "a pattern of public harassment" that included yelling obscenities at the Mansuetos, following Lisa Mansueto around Radley Run golf course on his golf cart, setting fire to the Mansuetos' tractor, and crashing the Mansuetos' golf cart into a ravine."
"The suit also states that Donaghy was charged by West Goshen Township Police with disorderly conduct and harassment in June 2000. Court records show that Donaghy had a verbal altercation with his mail carrier; however, the charges were dismissed when the carrier did not show up for a hearing."
"Similar charges were lodged against Donaghy in 1995, the suit said. At the time, Donaghy was living in Havertown. Sgt. Michael Glenn, Haverford Township police spokesman, said no record exists of such charges there."
Crashing golf carts in ravines? Setting tractors on fire? Maybe someone should have picked up on this guy being a psycho. We're looking at you here, David Stern...

What a worthwhile championship.
you are overheating the engine with this constant babble. i heard you the first time, i literally don't want sh!t thrown at me twice.
the suns organization must have it so easy with such a conspiratorial minded fanbase. easy enough to pull off the worse trade yet this summer right under their lily white noses.
remember when D'antonit said something like....
"we have the biggest telescopes in Arizona, and even then they could not see the unfairness in that decission..."
what a ing loser, just remembering that made my day. Someone post a pic or marion + nash at the pool.
If I was trying to "fix" a game so I could win a bet I think it would be by manipulating point totals so that I could win the O/U total points bet. That way I could make calls for/against both teams and probably not affect who wins...just the total amount of points.
If you look at Doneghy's O/U cover record for his early years compared to the 2006-2007 season you will see quite a difference. His covering of the over was quite high last season.
It wouldn't surprise me that when we find out what kind of bets were made that it turns out they were O/U bets.
** traded away its best Duncan defender in Thomas today for herpes in the ass.
