Then why are you posting here?
I'd respect your boycott more if you started it after you team won it all. It was still fixed then after all, right?
I won't be. I've followed the NBA religiously for 35 seasons, but after this one I think I've seen enough. I might start watching again after Stern retires, but I doubt it.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Just like ChumpDumper said, the timing of this boycott is suspect to say the least. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out.
"Our latest championship is a ing sham! There's no way we could've won without the refs cheating for us! Stern wanted us to win! I'm ing outta here!"
Four words: Game 6 2002 WCF's.
Kings fans who made it past that game without being jaded are the real deal.
For christs sake dumped chump, quit arguing. Everyone knows the league isn't fixed, but it is manipulated. If it brings the league money for dwade and the heat to win the championship, then they get the majority of the calls. Nobody sits down before hand and plans the winner, the refs just have a major influence. It is still possible to overcome the refs influence, its just much harder.
You're an idiot for watching then.
No surprise.
How am I an idiot for watching? The only regrets I have is that the mavs weren't able to play through the bad calls and still win. Its not impossible to do, just much harder.
"Hey, it's only mostly fixed for DWade."How am I an idiot for watching?
^ Hey, he's the next Jordan
There are ways to avoid refs taking over the game:
1. Don't whine
2. Play clean
3. Don't whine
4. Make legitimate plays in the paint, not attack just to draw a foul
5. Don't whine
6. Hussle
7. Don't Whine
8. Pick your battles - not ALL calls are incorrect
9. Don't whine
10.Don't whine (did I say that?)
^ exactly, which is why i still watch even though there is a possibility of referee interference.
I voted on the fence. It seemed like it was rigged when we were playing Dallas, especially in games 2-4. But to pull off something like rigging the NBA, if it was ever publicized it could be doom for Stern. I'd say it's more horrible officiating than rigging.
So, you believe that the league tries to fix games through the refs, and if your team wins, it's in spite of the league's attempt to fix them.
Conspiracy and persecution rolled into onw.
Beautiful.
no, it works both ways. All depends on who you are playing. Sometimes ill admit the refs help the mavs. Other times, like the finals, wade got every call which really hurt us in the long run.
^ Thats why it should be consistant, no matter which teams are playing. I dont care if its the heat vs the raptors, the game should be called evenly.
So the league will fix any game at any time for any reason.
It's all about the money.....Thats how the world works.
So the best you can hope for is that your team is the one the league wants to win so they can fix the game for your team.
You want my honest opinion? I think the mavs were helped out in the mavs-spurs series, because the mavs are the more marketable team. It turned around and bit us in the ass in the finals.
No, that's not what i'm saying. Its still possible to play through the bad calls and still win. The mavs should have outhustled and outplayed the heat so that the bad calls wouldnt have mattered.
I think your belief of the league's control of the refs is laughable.
Bull . If that were the case, don't you suppose that Stern would have found a way to get the Clippers a ring by now? How about even getting the Knicks in the playoffs? Your theory is .
Laugh all you want, I used to think the same way. I was always defending the league and refusing to believe, but the more i think about it the more it makes sense.
