Re: Are you buying that the NBA is trying to fix a 4-peat for the Lakers?

Im a PAcers fan, and the 4 point p;lay for NY was a foul

Larry johnson oump faked, Antonio Davis went for it and hit his arm

He threw up a prayer and it was answered.

I think there is start treatment, but did hte ref tell LJ to hit that 3 and when to pump fake

Cause if he did, Indy need to get some of these "refs on payroll"

Houston, L.A., Chicago, New York, they are the 4 biggest markets in the NBA. 22 of the last 23 NBA Finals, the finals featured one of these teams. How crazy is that? It just so happens the 4 biggest markets make it to the Finals every year. Im a Laker fan, but even I admit, there is some sort of fix in basketball.

Yeah, those teams only made it to the finals because the NBA wanted them too. Those teams didnt have great players on their teams. It wasnt because those teams had Ewing, Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, Olajuwon, Drexler and Shaq. It was because the nba wanted them to be there. (END SARCASM)

If you honestly think the league is fixed, WHY DO U WATCH? Who would want to watch a sport that was predetermined or fixed?

I don't think that the NBA is trying to fix it for the Lakers to win but just to make more money. Since the NBA is businness it shouldn't be unsual to see a corporaton doing it.

NBA fans should keep their gloves ready to fight the refs

i definitly think the big market teams get the preferential ref treatment....lakers -portland series (wcf game 7), portland couldn't buy a call ..... but i think it's a situttion that really started to show in the 90's, you know...around the same time they decided to give up the traveling call

....but we all know,without big markets there is no big money,and we all know that the nba is a cash machine....so it all makes cents....uh..i mean sense

If New York gets the number 1 pick, then we know for sure that the NBA is fixed.

As a fellow Pacer fan, I cant believe U just said that. Was it a foul? Yes. Was it continuation? Hell no. LJ even took another dribble after the foul and then shot the ball. No way in hell or heaven, that was continuation.

Just stop crying and let them play, the commish or the refs dont fix games, but the refs are human and make bad calls, calling a foul were there is none, you have to think, there is so much they have to see at the same time, they are going to make mistakes, but generally they will be equally for both teams, let the teams play, dont try to give excuses that arent there

This isn't a bash the Knicks thread.

Detroit is a major market so if they got the #1 pick, would it still be fixed?
