What if the Lakers lost Game 7?

[ambchang]

How do you continue watching a sport you insist is rigged? (insisting based on the Lakers-Celts series).

How many "I am done" threads have there been in here?
I was just commenting that those that have said that or started threads like that will be here 5 months from now rooting against a team that they insist gets favorable affection from the league. Obviously they are drawn to it.

First off, I never said rigged, I said biased.

Second, I will still love basketball, even if it was rigged. Too many people concentrate on the final results of what happens to a team, I just happen to enjoy the way athletes perform acrobatic feats that I can't dream of making. I enjoy watching the way the players defend, the strategy and such. Whether the league has a vested interest in the outcome of each game, or the season as a whole wouldn't change that.

37-17 FT advantage in a Finals Game 7 wouldn't change that.

The Lakers shooting 21 FTA in the 4th quarter won't change that.

The Lakers scoring 16 of the 30 points in a "comeback" victory in the 4th quarter of a Game 7 wouldn't change that.

Yes, it was extremely frustrating watching a game like that, knowing full well that the Game 7 was, at best, a horribly officiated game, for some strange reason, once again favoured the Lakers, but I still enjoyed watching the sport I love.

On the other hand, I have found myself not as attached to teams and their success since about 2006, because of the obviously horrible officiating (yes, that includes the 2007)
