    If that were the case it'd be the same as you thinking everytime the Spurs lose the series is rigged, but I said that I don't believe that series was fixed. I brought 2007 up to refute the re ed claim that Tim Donaghy is right about everything.
    Donaghy never claimed the NBA rigged the 2007 series. He said a lone nut with a grudge tried to do it. Donaghy is stating his opinion here in his book.

    The statement that Nunez "should have a ring" is an opinion, not a statement of fact. For one thing, he may have deserved a ring in another season besides 2007. Secondly, even if the Suns beat the Spurs in 2007, they still had to win two more rounds to be NBA champs.

    Outspoken opinions are a good way to sell books.

    In spite of everything rigged against them! Dear god.
    If the NBA wasn't rigged the Spurs would have won every championship ever. Including the Eastern Conference championships. They also would have a couple super bowl rings.

    That's right. Sometimes the good guys win, and overcome the forces of evil.

    Sorry, the Spurs have won 4 rings. There is no such thing as the Illuminati.


    How does it feel to believe everything Big Brother tells you?

    No I haven't. You just can't understand clear thinking.

    Another thing is that what Donaghy said about the 2002 Kings/Lakers series is corroborated by the evidence of the game film and the stats. There is no such evidence for the 2007 Spurs/Suns series.

    That's just effin' stupid. All you do is invent some stupid conspiracy and then laugh at it.

    here's let try:

    HAHA! haaaaaaaaaa! Area 51? UFOs? The Loch Ness Monster? HAHA. Bigfoot? Hardy-har-har!

    Therefore NBA games aren't rigged by David Stern.

    Tim Donaghy, an NBA insider, has direct knowledge of the NBA conspiracy. His statements are often corroborated by other evidence. You don't have on the Illuminati.

    I never said what Donaghy said about the Spurs wasn't true. Donaghy himself does not say there was an NBA conspiracy behind that series. I am saying that Donaghy gave his opinion regarding the series. I believe that Donaghy is telling us his true opinion abotu that series, and reklying the facts he does know about.

    Follow the money. The Suns were a bigger TV draw in 2007 than the Spurs.

    That has nothing to do with what Donaghy said. Donaghy said a fat referee liked how many s were in San Antonio and wanted the city to win. Nothing to do with TV ratings.

    My favorite Tommy Nunez story is from the 2007 playoffs when the San Antonio Spurs were able to get past the Phoenix Suns in the second round. Of course, what many fans didn't know was that Phoenix had someone working against them behind the scenes. Nunez was the group supervisor for that playoff series, and he definitely had a rooting interest.
    Nunez loved the Hispanic community in San Antonio and had a lot of friends there. He had been a referee for 30 years and loved being on the road; in fact, he said that the whole reason he had become a group supervisor was to keep getting out of the house. So Nunez wanted to come back to San Antonio for the conference finals. Plus, he, like many other referees, disliked Suns owner Robert Sarver for the way he treated officials. Both of these things came into play when he prepared the referees for the games in the staff meetings. I remember laughing with him and saying, "You would love to keep coming back here." He was pointing out everything that Phoenix was able to get away with and never once told us to look for anything in regard to San Antonio. Nunez should have a championship ring on his finger.

    I think there are games influenced to extend playoff series, but not directly determing who advances.

    I think the stars get preferential treatment so there is more marketability but that is for stats, not for wins.
    1984 NBA Finals, game 6

    Celts are up 3-2; Lakers get most of the calls

    Game 7 is next; huge audience; Celtics won, and Bird called out Stern

    1984 also marks the year Stern became the NBA commish
