      Of course it's not speaking on it because that wasn't the point of the article(it was basically talking about the winners/losers from this past weekend?. I didn't post it because of the NBA allegedly trying to play the victim card(although there is some accurate stuff in there).

      I posted it because it spoke on the Nets-Raptors series that Toronto fans claim there is a conspiracy to somehow help the Nets advance.

          How? Do you think that the officials arent advised to make the calls more consistent? I think acknowledging the issues publicaaly is a big improvement compared to the Stern years where he basically ignored missed or bad calls.

            That is ****ing crazy. I bought 8 extra tickets to the Wiz/Bulls game for 63 bucks each. I sold them for around 120 last week but they are going for 200 plus on Stubhub. This is for a Wiz team that only sold out three games this year.

            Indiana fans should be ashamed of themselves. Its not like they have a ton of other pro teams.

              For example... do you believe Blake Griffin charged Maurice Speights in game 1 that gave him his what 5th foul but then see Kevin Durant do the exact same thing actually worse to Mike Conley and it's a no call?

              It wasn't a simple miss it was plain

              Same thing with the goal tending block De Andre Jordan made on Stephen curry last night Dwight did the same block on Lamarcus Aldridges hook shot in game one in closing minutes and they considered it a clean block even though it was coming down.

              It's not just now...This stuff happens a lot and sometimes in the same game on opposite ends of the floor.

                I'm guessing 2 of those games were Heat games and one of them were the Lakers?

                Me and a friend of mine were looking at Game 3 tickets on Saturday and they were starting off at $70 and by the time Sunday rolled around, they already went up $9-$10. And this was starting in the 400s mind you SMH. I'm guessing now they're around $80-$90 bucks starting off now(Haven't checked Stubhub since Sunday afternoon).

                  But how do you fix that? Those were two seperate crews and two different games.

                    I don't get how a Courtside playoff ticket can be 70 bucks.

                    never mind what they are in LA but I mean have they gotten to the point of saying screw this team?

                      Heat Game 1, OKC and Brooklyn game 1.

                      Its crazy, Pack. This is the first time I've ever made money off my Wiz tickets. Most of the time I have to sell them at a loss or donate them for the tax deduction.

                        Courtside seats for Game 3 of the Wiz are going for 4k right now. That is insane in Indiana. If I was in town I would snatch those tix up in a minute.

                          You could probably take some people to the game but who's going to buy them if the fans are the ones dumping them

                            The very back of the very highest balcony in the ACC is going for $150.

                              Has it even been explained why tickets are THAT low?

                              I get that they dropped Game 1 and struggled as of late but that shouldn't mean prices should be THAT low. Those are regular season prices right there depending on which team you see them play.

                                That's ridiculous Indiana. Lower Level Center tickets at the UC for tonight against the Wiz are going for about $220 and up on Stubhub.
