The NBA Is Rigged!
This goes all the way back to the famous Lakers-Kings game 6 refereeing shenanigans where the NBA makes much more money if the large media market and sexy team the Los Angeles lakers advance to the NBA finals versus the small market Sacramento Kings without the likes of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal.THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!Well even the casual NBA fan could see that the fix was on in the NBA last night as the NBA refs completely changed the tenor of the Houston Rockets and Golden State Warriors game last night right as the cash cow marketing machine Golden State Warriors where on the verge of being run out of the building.

NBA has always been obviously rigged. It’s almost always a case of the finals they want is the finals they get. I think the nba lost a lot of money during some boring finals and decided to always make sure their horse is in the finals.
they def wanted game 7 but I could see game 7 being called normally. Houston is a big enough market and would be a good draw for the NBA to get some new fans back into the game.
It's funny how many game 7s there are nowadays, like every series magically gets stretched there.
edit: there have been game 7s in the playoffs for 18 years straightand before that, while still occurring regularly, wasn't every year, especially in the 80s

That is true which makes it amazing how many times the Spurs defied the NBA by going all the way.
They didn't want Spurs Nets in 03, did they? Or Spurs Pistons in 05? Or were the Spurs just so good that they were un-riggable?
In other stunning news, the sun rose today...from the east. The NBA is rigged but this series isn't a good example of why. If anything, they'd rig LeBron getting in over the starless Celtics.
Chris Paul probably isn't even hurt tbh
Spurs were just that good and moreso Tim Duncan was just that great he could overcome a lot of bs.
Well that game 6 Rockets vs Warriors was clearly rigged by the refs. It's well do ented in that video in the article. Anyone thinking Rockets will actually win this game 7 tonight, lol, refs will call it in favor of Warriorettes. Houston is going to have to shoot lights out to win this game 7 tonight because no way refs can rig a game if your playing that great.
It's also amazing how much success LeBron has had in Cleveland... Cleveland. Probably the least attractive market in the NBA (Sacramento might have an argument for being worse).
Yeah but we still watch hoping for a miracle.
ZeroHedge drops bigger truth bombs than Wikileaks, tbh.
Bombs!The NBA is a often called a “Make or Miss League” because of the fact that if one team misses the level of talent is such that there is an immediate advantage gained by the defensive team that transitions to offense because this sets up a fast break the other direction against a defense that hasn't had time to set up its defense.
Well the lesser known truth is that the NBA has become a “Call Fouls or Don't Call Fouls League” which has the same result because if one team is allowed to foul the other team attacking or driving to the basket, or reach in and foul and cause a turnover, or body slam an opponent to the ground causing a missed shot these all set up fast break opportunities and often 4 on 5 scenarios on the other side of the court leading to easy baskets or wide open three pointers.
It was pretty obvious last night that the Houston Rockets were playing 5 on 8 from the start of the second quarter through the pivotal third quarter.
Boom!
Done called ahead of time on ST, tbh.The Houston Rockets made 8 out of 12 three pointers in the first quarter and were well on their way to upsetting the NBA`s Dream Team the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors were desperate they went into desperation mode, their only option at that point was to overplay the three point line, force the rockets to drive to the basket, and foul on every play, hoping that the referees would give them the benefit of the doubt.
Cleveland is middle of the pack. Of all the major sports, the NBA has the most podunk backwater towns. Memphis? Sacramento? New Orleans? Orlando? San Antonio (sorry, compared to multi-sports towns)? Milwaukee? Portland? Oklahoma City? Heck, even Charlotte and Indianapolis.
This was the strategy, but the Golden State Warriors didn't really have to hope the referees would oblige, just look at Game 2 of the Pelicans Series in the previous round at Oracle Arena, the fix was on in that game, and the small media market Pelicans Team would have won that game if the NBA Refs didn't step in and determine that game in favor of the Warriors.
So the Warrior players know through experience that they can camp out in the lane with Draymond Green and not get an illegal defense call, knock players to the floor, set illegal moving screens on offense, reach in from behind when they are beat causing turnovers, and hand check and hold on every drive to the basket because they are going to get the “Dream Team Treatment” in the end from the referees
The warriors are actually pretty bad on defense if you call the game legitimately, they have a bunch of offensive players who are slight in build and can't guard a ham sandwich besides the licensed thug that is Draymond Green. They have no hope for stopping drives to the bucket with a 6 foot 7 inch center the only thing standing in front of a made hoop on the defensive end of the floor. Golden State`s only defensive option to stop other teams from driving at will to the basket is to foul on every single drive! Steph Curry and Draymond Green would foul out by halftime if Warrior games were ever officiated correctly. Steph cannot keep anybody in front of him, and reach fouls/hand checks on every single drive and Draymond grabs and holds much taller guys under the basket, and comes in to body slam opposing players as they blow past Steph Curry on every drive. The Golden State Warriors have always been given preferential treatment on the defensive end of the court because of the Branding of the Team and what this means to the NBA coffers from a money perspective. They are very good offensively, and easy for the NBA to Sell to the public, so give them the benefit of the doubt on the defensive end of the court. In other words, for the sake of the NBA let them get away with employing a fouling on every drive strategy on defense, and we will just not make the call the majority of the time. They literally foul on every drive to the basket because they have no legitimate rim protection, and no other legitimate way to stop other teams from relentlessly attacking the basket except for routinely fouling on drives, thus daring the refs to make the call and upset the league office and revenue dollars of the NBA Marketing Machine.The Golden State Warriors strategy is simple they can`t stop anybody driving legitimately, they have no center to speak of to protect the rim, so their only real option as a defensive strategy is to foul on every play, expect the referees to only call 15% of the actual fouls maybe 20% on a bad day, get away with and benefit from the other 60% where the other team is fouled but not called, and live with the miracle shots the opposing team makes on the other 20% that happen to go in through superhuman effort. All this relies on the Branding Effect that they are the Golden State Warriors, the NBA Dream Team, there is no way the NBA is going to allow the Cash Marketing Cow that is the Dream Team not advance to the NBA Finals - we are en led to preferential refereeing when necessary! And it sure was necessary last night, good job NBA you pulled out all the stops last night - you were going to make that happen one way or another just like you did to the Sacramento Kings in the 2002 NBA Playoffs!It was real obvious what was going on last night as the ball would be knocked out of bounds by Golden State in a very obvious manner yet they got the ball back without discussion, they would get two ticky tack fouls on one end of the court, the rockets drive to the basket get knocked to the floor by two players in a no-brainer foul, and play on, and then another ticky tack touch foul on the other end. There were three or four refereeing sequences in that game where it was very apparent the refereeing fix was on in that game, this was more than just good old home court calls, this was a rigged game with a massive agenda to do anything and everything possible to swing the momentum of that game!
Today's nab
Glorified harlem globetrotters
3 point chuckfest
This was pretty damned bad. But sadly not that much worse than normal, tbh. (Watch it before NBA does a phony copyright violation).
One of the best videos ever made!!! MUST SEE! It was RIGGED!!!!!
Kings Lakers Game 6 Mixtape *RIGGED* 2002
This upcoming NBA season marks the 10 year anniversary of the greatest tragedy in sports history. 10 years ago, the Sacramento Kings were cheated from what would have been their first and only NBA le. Game 6, May 31st, 2002. The Kings would've won this game and won the series 4-2, but the refs stepped in.
Spurs/Lakers Series Rigged by NBA
http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...-Rigged-by-NBAOn Tuesday night, with two seconds to go, and the San Antonio Spurs down by two points, Derek Fisher of the Los Angeles Lakers fouled Brent Barry. Brent Barry, son of Rick Barry, was trying to shoot a three point shot for the Spurs. Brent "Bones" Barry is one of the deadliest shooters in the NBA. Barry had already made five three-pointers in the game and shot 95% from the free throw line this season.
I believe Bill Walton paid a big price for calling out all the cheating honestly.
What happened to him?
