Refs might suck and they might favor stars -- but other than that -- the game is on the square.

If it wasn't ... why aren't you cleaning up and making a fortune betting on the winner of these obviously fixed series?

If OKC goes on to win the next 3 this will be one of the best played out fixes in world history I must say!! I still say it's absolutely possible too. After seeing the first 4 games I still think OKC can win one in Miami.

I am not counting OKC out yet either. The games have been too close and a single play here or there could have changed the outcomes. Could it be fixed? Yes it could be. James Harden could be in deep with the mob or someone and not be giving it his best to win. Or like I said earlier, it would maybe explain why Brooks is giving Fisher so much time and using some of the rotations he is. But the league is not the ones doing the fixing. It would involve too many people and too much money and there's no way that anything that large would have been able to stay this quiet for this long. None.

You really should have learned to read actual words and not imagined words.

So, just to be straight on things, the refs got together before game 6 of the 2002 Lakers/Kings series and decided to bet a bunch of cash on the Lakers? The league office was in no way involved??????

I don't see how someone can watch that game and think that.

Or those nonsensical technical fouls against Boston against Miami, as shown in that video above. I hate the Celtics, so it's not some regional bias I have.

When I was a kid, I used to watch wrestling. I thought it was all real. As I got older and realized it wasn't, I completely lost interest and haven't watched a match in over 30 years. I guess I don't understand the logic in believing/knowing something is fixed and still watching it or wagering on it. To me, that seems kinda stupid.

Because I'm not betting them.
