+17 Internets   | Those previous arguments of 'omg teh playoffs r fixed' were gay though because they were directed at the NBA and Refs and not gambling. Gambling you can see the benefits of the Spurs winning it all due to spread and what have you. From marketing though it never made sense for teams like the Pistons and Spurs to do good though, so like I said the previous argument were zzz.

If your dumbass would actually look into the matter a little further, he was implicated in influencing the point spread moreso than the outcome of games. ffs you are going to be 80 and still bitching about that series. Get over it.  Edit: Speaking on topic, this certainly shakes the faith of a lot of coaches, players, owners, and fans as the refs will be EVEN more highly scrutinized. Could we blame a Mark Cuban for criticizing the refs now or in the future? Or Van Gundy saying their is a bias against Yao? Players who protest calls? I for one, cant wait to see which ref it was. I have an idea though.

| I can't wait till the truth about fixing the NBA Lotteries comes out. There is no way the Celtics have that bad luck. Stern fixes everything. I can't wait till the NBA comes crashing down like a house of cards and all these spoiled athletes go bankrupt.

+1 Internets | "Notice how he pulls Game 3 out of his ass" Yeah, like I wasn't saying it was one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen after it happened. FFS the fact that I could call out a game that was fixed before they announced which referee indicates that something certainly was fishy with that game. But I really like how you guys are trying to say the a referee who fixes games has no outcome on a series. Delusional. Last edited by darksensei : 07-20-2007 at 02:20 PM. |

Edit: Dark if you want to be taken seriously, you need to come up with specific incidents where he called something that was fishy. We are talking about three refs, so it has to be something specific to him calling a questionable penalty that was for the spurs or against the suns that would influence the outcome of the game. Dont just come firing away saying "OMG SEE HE REFFED GAME 3, THE SUNS HAD NO CHANCE IN THAT SERIES!!!!".

| Ever watch the refs in a Jordan game? I saw Jordan trip one time and no defender was even within 5 feet of hom and they called a foul. He would get foul calls if you breathed on him. its easy to average 30 points a game when 12-15+ points per game for Jordan were free throws from phantom foul calls, meanwhile other players get raped and get no calls. Then there are players that take like 4-5 steps before they dunk. Watch any Patrick Ewing dunk/layup. NBA refs suck. The NBA is really a sham. It's bad, selfish basketball where people only really care about dunks, looking good, and how much money they can make. There is no real loyalty. I really only watch the NBA playoffs and then for that I only watch the good games. NCAA basketball is the true sport. Players want to win for their school, their fans are true fans who paint their faces and go crazy. The NBA can't touch NCAA basketball. I just wish NCAA players had to play a mandatory 3 years in college before the pros, then the NCAA would be even better. The 65 NCAA team tourney is the best tourney in all of sports (Maybe tied with NFL football playoffs + Superbowl). The NBA sucks (Note: it used to be good in the 80's before sportscenter).
