It's really amazing how quiet this has been.
NBA games haven't been on the level - and we're not talking games with 20 point spreads where there's some garbage time calls to cover a line. NBA games don't see spreads like that, and in the games in question, the spreads are often 4, 5, etc, and actual game outcomes have been manipulated.
It was a great run with the Celtics this year (at least whatever games weren't rigged by refs), but I'm not sure I'll be able to really stick around and follow the league as much as I have. How many of these games have been determined before the ball even gets tossed? I'm not sure I can get that out of my mind.
And Stern's refusal to have an independent entity evaluate and oversee the referees after all this is a huge red flag to me, like he has something to hide.
