No conspiracies. Boston was/is better than Detroit. Celtics deserved to win.
Two #1 seeds. Two best teams in the league.
It's well deserved for both franchises.

still sucks, though.
^True that.
Conspiracy or not. Kinda pathetic tho that everyone knows that Stern is jumping for joy right now. Nobody should ever be bringing up the commissioner of the league when the le is on the line. Everyone knows little napoleon(as sheed once called him) wanted this.
The riots will be the bigger ratings draw.
The best thing to happen to basketball since
Stern is clearly Vince McMahon
Kobe can be Flair
Guess that makes KG Hogan...
Who needs legit teams fighting for a le anyways?
Well, almost everyone was predicting a Boston/Lakers finale. Looks like they got their wish.
Just scratching my head as to how the Celtics were given KG and Ray. Timberwolves have been happy with the play of Al jefferson. That trade is not one sided. Ray allen has barely shown up in the playoffs and had KG not also been dealt no one really would have blinked an eye at the celtics dealings this last offseason.
If its the officiating your talking about, well, Obviously Stern wanted them to win last night so he had the refs make a horrible offensive call foul on Pierce's three that was a 6 point swing.
If anything that should ahve been a double digit win last night.
I don't think it was a conspiracy--I don't see how anyone could really be so powerful as to fix that--but I'm with some of the other posters: I will not watch this series. I keep waffling on which team I dislike more. The only saving grace is that *one* of them will lose. Too bad both of them can't. I'd love to see Kobe crying again, but the thought of Ray Allen going out ringless, again, would also be sweet.
so this isn't the "official pistons gone fishing thread"? where do i put this?
If the NBA truly "fixed" things, Laker fan actually made a good point after 68 posts. SA does not win as much as it has.
This is also a true - when someone asked David Stern a couple of years ago what his ideal finals matchup would be, he said "Lakers versus Lakers". He said he regretted comment later, but he did say it. That kind of stuff feeds the conspiracy stuff from fans of other teams.
Someone also asked Stern about having Joey Crawford ref Spurs playoff games. He said if he prevented Joey from doing SA PO games, then the league wouldn't be administering things properly. That also bit him in the butt when Joey is the one deciding a foul is a no-call at the buzzer. It just looks su ious. No one can deny that crew should have received an "F" for a number of mistakes throughout the game (hurting both teams). Popovich even received a technical foul in an earlier playoff series when he pointed out another error Crawford made in favor of a Spurs opponent.
Stern is right now clapping his hands like a little kid. He got what he wanted this year. I won't be watching either - I wish I had a Neilson ratings box in my house so I could actually negatively effect those ratings with all the basketball neophytes watching like sheep this "great basketball" coming up.

You're gonna miss some good trolling on the Celtics boards if you continue to hang around here. Move on. No bones to pick here!Just because the series didn't go in your favor it's a conspiracy? Tha fuk outta here with that! YOU GOT BEAT!ACCEPT IT AND MOVE ON...even if you made it to the finals you would have lost.
don't get all bummed out Spurs and Pistons fans. Maybe my team can pull a a shady ass deal and get Carmelo Anthony from Denver somehow for lets see, Jacque Vaugnn and a Spur, and Detroit can get Gilbert Arenas from Washington for Juan Dixon, and a ticket to a motown city concert. if LA and Boston can do it surely our teams can do it to. instead of the big three in SA we will now have the big 4!!!!!!
I don't care if Kobe wins another ring because he is one of a player. But to see that little punk Fisher winning another one is what pisses me off. I would pay to see that little jerk crying again. For not winning the championship that is...
Never thought I'd say this, but the NBA is Definitely Fixed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But they don't care what the average fan thinks as long as they get their rating bonanza.
The NBA and ABC made this happen!
It's ironic to me that the justification for the no-call on Barry in Game 4 of the Spurs/Lakers series is that he DIDN'T sell the call, i.e., flop. The very people who think that flopping is ruining the game are the same people who thought a flop by Brent was necessary to get a call.
Where amazing happens, indeed. . . .
Had the situation been reversed and it happened to Kobe or Fisher, do you think Phil Jackson and the Lakers would ever have let it go? The media's perception of the play would also no doubt be different if it had been a superstar like Kobe who made that play. That's what amazes me even more about the NBA.
