Miami isn't done just yet
If Miami is eliminated, it gives the NBA an incentive to rig against San Antonio since OKC can beat Indiana.
Miami isn't done just yet
if you didn't notice, they are also rigging the miami series so Durant doesnt have to play against them
Great point.
Nothing like "crowning" Durant when the Heat fall just short in the EC.
But if the Spurs are getting rigged out (probable),
I think it will happen regardless of who the wins the EC.
RefKC for the "win."
Per par.

I've had the same bad thoughts as the OP, Stern's gift to basketball is these WWE style predictions.
I'm hoping you're right. I still think Heat and Spurs got one more run in them before letting OKC and Pacers duke it out.
does POP believe in rigging?
IMHO, a Heat-Spurs rematch is what most folks want to see. I'm biased, of course.![]()
Miami isn't in trouble.
Pacers will not shoot that well again
...or get that many freebies.
Pacers are a streaky ing team, this was as good as ol' sports will be this series

hint: Miami losing the first game doesn't mean they're losing the series. And cut out the "rigging" bull anyways...if the NBA rigged their series, why would we have Finals like San Antonio/New Jersey. In 2009, they could've simply rigged the ECF so that LeBron's Cavs advanced and played Kobe's Lakers. Ratings would've been huge. But instead they chose for Orlando to win...lol.
Some Spurs fans are ridiculous. Do superstars get the benefit of the doubt with foul calls? Sure. Can refs favor a certain team at times? Sure. But I'm not buying this "NBA picks and chooses who advances and wins" bull .
I agree with you for once.
No way the Pacers take this series.
lol the Pacers put everything they had in that one game. they are getting gentleman swept tbh
Miami's nowhere near in trouble. Heat in 6 at the worst.
Miami didn't even show up today. I guess they thought Indy is gonna look like Atlanta series team.
Indiana has the strangest boner for Miami. This will be a long series. I expect Miami to prevail, but the Pacers are going to take their pound of flesh.
Let's be honest, if the Pacers don't play like that every game, they won't win this series. We all know the Pacers most likely won't play like that every game. Good luck to them, though.
I tried to read your post but I keep looking at your sig instead
If you think the game is rigged, why the F to do you bother to watch it. You apparently already know the outcome.
I don't remember our fans being quite this paranoid about getting jobbed by officials before. The Spurs will win the series if they earn the win. The refs will not change the outcome.
Just because a team loses a playoff game doesn't mean they are in trouble...especially on the road.
