If you can watch players like Jordan, Wade, etc. get away with flagrant rule breaking and not say it's rigged, you are idiotic.
That Kings/Lakers game was a joke. The biggest joke I've ever seen in the NBA. I don't have any doubts that things were not on the up and up there. But I also think that this was the referees doing, not the league. Do you realize how many people have to be involved in the league fixing games? Do you realize how many people have to remain silent to let them get away with it? I have serious doubts that they could get a guy like Kobe Bryant or Kevin Durant or LeBron James or Kevin Garnett to go along with their plans and agree to lose games on purpose. Guys aren't making $200k anymore. They are making millions and millions. You can't pay them enough to have them go along with it. And again, if Harden is giving OKC anything at all, they are winning this series. This despite whatever you might think of the refereeing. Harden was 2-10. That had nothing to do with the refs. Westbrook committed that silly foul with 13.8 left. Nothing to do with the refs. OKC is losing because they've failed to make the key plays. Period.

I never said the players are in on it, at all. I can see why you might think I implied that though. It's the officiating, plain and simple. Just use your eyes and don't be afraid of the implications of what you are seeing. It can liberate you.

An interesting note about refs. A friend of mine here says that something like five current or recent NBA refs all went to this one high school in the Philly area.

How weird is that?

Well next season lets hope the West can produce a team that can beat the Oklahoma City Sprinkles. I've seen enough of that team for a good 3 years.

I know right? Just think your team has the potential to top the Buffalo Bills.

Sure, but I don't think that is going to happen. As long as we aren't the Raptors or Clippers, I'm good with that.

No one in the West can beat that team.
Lets just say Dallas somehow brings in Williams and Howard.... They still cant beat OKC.

OKC is built pretty well to handle those guys, but with Dirk too, it would be tough. Dirk isn't young though, not sure how many years he has left.
