It has been confirmed that the Celtics vs Magic Series was fixed...

[BadOdor]

so to you, "fixed" means abandoning any pretext of pure compe ion, and just putting the big markets in the finals...

well, on the bright side, at least there are far worse alternatives to Stern...

lrn2walk the tight rope of public opinion vs. profitability

idiot

But you just said spur fixed lakers/celtics finals? please educate me spur fan, where does his power end? or is it when simple logic proves otherwise, you fall back on "lol pretext of pure compe ion". lol dumb spur fan.

[vander]

no you dumb Tim Tebow loving got should stop playing fool. If Stern hates the Spurs so much, why wouldn't he have rigged the 1997 draft so Boston gets Tim Duncan just like he supposedly rigged it for NY when they got Ewing? Face it, the Spurs winning 4 championships debunks your re ed conspiracy theories.

to those eager to eat up the lies, and spend their money, yes it does...

edit: I've never watched a game with Tebow in it FWIW, CFB is Broncos/Vandals only for me, but don't let that stop you from stereotyping me for your purposes

[D2Procon]

Except you don't see people whining about the WWE being fixed, do you? You and br should start a group, spread out the truuuuth!!!!

You don't get it do you? Once the finals matchup is set up Stern has accomplished his mission. He doesn't give a about the outcome of the finals. Stern only cares about what team will be in the finals that will generate revenue, after that the decision as to who wins the le goes between the teams themselves.

The fact that the Spurs have on 4 les does not destroy the conspiracy theory. They just beat a better team in the finals. Take a look at the western conference playoffs in 2007, They were all small market teams, Phoenix? Dallas? Utah? San Antonio? Only big market teams were Lakers and Golden state which were low seed and wouldn't make sense for them to go to the playoffs.

Same goes with 2006, 2005. Notice that the year the Spurs did not win the champion was the year where large market teams were high seeds. Once a high market team got better and got to the top 3 in the standings, Stern took advantage of it.

lol "pheonix" small market team? God damn spur fan is getting dumber by the minute. Ever heard of Tv ratings, Tacker? Please, tell me how this year's playoffs were rigged - what tipped you off, the 50+ free frow disparity the suns got? lol tacker.

This post is stupid on so many levels. A team in Oakland is a big market, and a team in Phoenix is a small market? If Stern wanted a marketable NBA finals, he would have chosen Phoenix over San Antonio, that's undeniable.

oh don't worry, it's only black and white, there is no gray there is either pure compe ion, or stern decides every outcome, nothing in between

Phoenix is a small market team Far .

So when the spurs win, it's "pure compe ion", and when they don't, it's obviously "fixed"? Lol spur fan reaching new levels of stupid.

It wouldn't matter the disparity between the market size of Phoenix and San Antonio is too small for Stern to take on the risk and fix it. So he didnt give a damn which small market team made it.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Based off 2008 consensus numbers, Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the country and Oakland is the 44th largest city in the country, yet Oakland is a bigger market than Phoenix.

You're basing your info off a site that says the Clippers have the 2nd biggest market in the NBA and the Raptors have the 6th biggest


EDIT: this is from 2005

[vander]

You watch the NBA and post on an NBA forum. Do you "eat up the lies, and spend their money", spur fan? lol dumb spur fan.

posting on this forum does not contribute a single cent to the NBA to my knowledge, and through the miracle of DVR, I can't remember the last time I watched a game that the Spurs lost I watched pieces of the SAS/PHX series, but that was mostly in an attempt to defend Bonner and point out how old and incompetent our big 3 was

HAHAHAHA this dumbass thought the size of the city is what makes NBA markets big. Hahahaha what a ing dumbass.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

The size of the city has nothing to do with the size of the NBA market.

So when the spurs win, it's "pure compe ion", and when they don't, it's obviously "fixed"? Lol spur fan reaching new levels of stupid.

yep, reality is just that simple, never more than 2 factors

seriously how old are you? you can't really be this simple minded

lol spur fan falling back on "I don't actually watch the NBA". Why am I talking to a got who doesn't watch the NBA then? Thanks for playing, spur fan.

San Antonio is the 9th largest city in the U.S yet the worst market in the NBA dumbass.

[namlook]

If TD had been drafted by or rights traded to LA/Boston/NY, that team would have won much more than 4 championships, you know this. stop playing the fool...

The Spurs would never sniff the finals if there was a conspiracy. A defensive oriented small market team is the last team the NBA wants in the finals. The Spurs making the finals four times makes anyone crying "fix" look like a fool.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

the worst market in the NBA

so San Antonio has a worse market than the Timberwolves?
