Determining the outcome of a game by making intentionally erroneous calls is fixing the game. The idea while not original is still ridiclous.

I am not acting like the refs are beyond reproach in any manner. I am acting like the idea that the NBA instructs its refs to insure that a certain teams wins a game is nonsense.

Video review also showed that in many of the games Donaghy supposedly bet on, there were no controversial or even blatantly wrong calls made by him.

There would be far too many people with this knowledge to keep it a secret and there is no way the NBA is letting San Antonio win all those titles. They are ratings death.
