honestly I believe it was fixed. I predicted the Spurs would win this game in order to force a game 7, but I was obviously wrong. the NBA had an agenda with OKC and they met it tonight.

all jokes aside the officiating in the NBA is completely absurd and out of control. no other sport can be single handedly controlled the way that basketball can and it is a damn shame that the NBA would rather carefully control the games with their officials than allow the real talent on the floor to determine the outcome of the games. did the Spurs the bed tonight? yes ... but its also pretty hard to compete when the opposing team receives an additional 13 free throws and other bogus calls.

Congratulations on making a post I finally agree with.

Son I've been making the NBA and WWE comparisons for years, but its not my fault that more and more people are finally opening their eyes and realizing just how big of a racket the NBA is.

son i basically agree with your point.

I don't think it's rigged at all levels, because then someone would spill the beans, especially frustrated players.

I just believe Stern assures the owners that he can push the league in a direction that is more profitable than simply having a bunch of black dudes toss a ball around.

Hooking OKC up with generous calls is no different than hooking up a team at the lottery. It's his way of establishing a foundation for continued growth in an emerging market. For example, OKC is deliriously happy because they are winning and they have something else to do besides bestiality and dropping acid with Wayne Coyne. You push things in a certain direction so that there is a good chance they win a championship, and they'll have something to fall back on for years to come, which Seattle sadly never had.

if Lebron wins, it cements his worldwide status. Either way, it's a win-win for the league, they can promote Lebron as a champion or OKC as a beacon of small market success.

I don't agree with it, but i think it's pretty obvious this is how it works. It's not quite WWE, but it's closer than any other professional sport.

son great thread and continued blessings.

yes, players who couldn't crack 30k irl are going to spill the beans when stern is paying them hundreds of thousands a year to do nothing/millions to toss each others balls.

All you have to do is watch games and believe your eyes. For 300k/year you can certainly buy better employees and put forth a better product if you actually wanted to.
