It is sad that the Spurs may not get all of the respect that they may deserve.

It is sadder though that a NBA referee was apparently fixing games.

Can we add an s officialy to the word referee here and make it plural?

Can we add players and coaches yet too?

Lakers +13 wasn’t good that is.

Why do you think they threw some Warrior players out of certain games there?

Look at how often they were expelling players, probably to fix games.

More than they used to.

Games seem to have gotten more and more blatantly fixed.

Could be choreographed like professional wrestling.

Rodman probably had an easy transition into professional wrestling.

David Stern =Vince McMahon?

Was it the one where Nash got kneed in the groin? Or the one where Nash got pushed into the sidelines? Or the one where Staudemire got kicked?

I’m guessing you are a Suns fan ? :)

I don’t live in an NBA city but I do like to follow some of the players on a few non Suns/Spurs players so I purchased their TV package.
I stopped watching the NBA after the “leaving the bench” suspensions and cheap shot from Horry...... They’ve lost me as a customer..

I figured the league had already crowned who they thought was champ..

I think game 3 was the knee to the groin game. I think Game 2 was the Stoudamire play but I really can’t remember. I do remember that I had the feeling the league had decided it was going to be the Spurs as champions and I felt dirty watching the last game. I felt like I could watch pro wrestling and get less predictability.

Anything that happens to the NBA is its own doing... And I enjoy watching them sink....

Dirty league- Dirty refs- Dirty commish..

Hope the Suns do better this year- Of course, I’m just guessing your a Suns fan- I could be way off base in that assumption. Maybe you are a guilty Spurs fan?

HATE THE SPURS...ewww

Love the Suns!!! :)

It’s no wonder the NBA is having it’s problems. It sucked watching the Suns vs. the Refs... ;)

Hopefully they’ll have a better season next year.

How much money was made is a good question and it would be a lot!

However they probably wouldn't merely have noted which way he bet it though they do things like that, they, whoever they is here, would have told him which way to fix it.
