yep. I figured it out a long time ago when Kareem Abdul Jabaar's house burned down without insurance in 1983 and the Lakers took the series to the finals losing 4 straight to the 76'ers.
I'm sure somebody made a mint on the "sweep" and paid off some cash.
That's why it takes 20 minutes to play the last 2 minutes of a game. You gotta get the "over and under" and the point spread correct. Otherwise you'll lose money.
The NCAA tournament is all I watch of basketball and it' basically because these guys want to get in so badly that they actually try.
NFL football is getting to be the same way. Look at the PC er...New Orleans Saints win after Katrina.
So I guess you're at the opposite end of some of the other "the games are rigged" people who say the finals always go seven games proving they're rigged. In the end, you have absolutely no evidence. C'mon, admit it. You're just a fan who lost money betting and want to blame other reasons for your maybe considerable losses.
