Did NBA Really Fix Lakers-Kings Game?
Wouldn't that be the NBBA?

The way the fouls were called in the OKC - Memphis game last night makes one wonder.

The NBA lost me years ago when the majority of players seemed to be on drugs, wife-beaters, thugs or gang members. I’d rather go watch my daughter’s junior high team. Those kids play hard, but clean.

I could care less if all the professional sports teams just disappeared.

They fixed the Bucks/76ers playoff series back in 2001 for sure.

Had to have that ratings bonanza in the finals (Iverson v Kobe/Shaq...too bad it was a terrible series that the Lakers won 4-1, but David Stern got the marquee matchup he wanted.

Was the last time I watched an NBA game.

I thought fining and banning Sterling fixed the NBA.

Sure felt like it.

Still have my 2002 Pacific Division Championship t-shirt though.

The officiating has always been rigged. I thought the Donaghy thing would bring an end to it. But, maybe not.

The beauty of the free market is that, today, you can’t bribe a player. They have more money than any 10 mobsters. But the league can tell a ref what to do to ensure higher rating$.

Always.

addicted, vengeful or mentally ill players, referees, and even owners


That’s all of them!
