NBA Thread

[BRule]

For stating facts?

The NBA is fixed that isn't debatable.

No, for being a ****ing moron. If everyone calls you an idiot, you're probably an idiot.

 

[NinersSBChamps]

already making the excuse.

so no matter what if CLE beats them you're going to say that's what the NBA arranged.

You watch the NBA. You know the star players get the calls especially during the playoffs.

Is that any different from any other sport?

Exactly. Maddux and Glavine got the calls. If Bonds took a close pitch, he would usually get the benefit of the call. Its just how sports work. A rookie usually doesnt get that benefit.

You know the league would be pissed if the finals were Atlanta-Memphis. It may not be entirely fixed, but there are certain teams and players who the league wants to be in the limelight. It's the same for all sports.

Like i care what people i'll never meet call me.

If you legitimately think this then why do you watch?

There isn't much reason to follow a league when you don't trust that the results are not predetermined.

Also, Niners doesn't understand the economics of basketball (or any sport in general) and he believes the NBA fixes playoff series to get the highest TV rating possible. However, he doesn't understand that TV ratings are extremely in elastic and the fact that the TV deals have already been negotiated means the NBA wouldn't have any reason to fix games to get teams like the Lakers and Knicks (two worst teams in basketball and subsequently the most most popular) into the playoffs in place of large media markets like San Antonio and Cleveland.

I dont watch much until the playoffs, dont have League Pass or anything.

But the NBA is fixed.

That thing about Morrow not being as good of a 3 point shooter anymore....yeah

 

[Heyward]

LOL what a terrible loss.

Time to shut Russ and KD down.

I feel like you aren't even a real person sometimes. I hope you grow at some point bud.

Geez Westbrook....

Because they were struggling with one of the worst teams in the league AT HOME

So you don't watch, but you think the game is fixed?

I wonder how many triple doubles in a row does RW have to get before people realize he's the real MVP!

The NBA is rigged so that's the only reason he's getting them.

Thanks DJ. The embarrassment of Porter only lasted 1 night.

 

[gilesfan]

Heyward told me Harden gets all the calls? What happened last night?

.@SherwoodStrauss Yes I do. He shows the ball players go for it, or he drives into a player who isn’t set. Those are fouls.

Actually, calling Harden “elite” at getting someone to foul him might be underselling it.

 

[thethe]

Its not just showing the ball. A lot of times Harden throws his hands at defenders hands and draws fouls. Its very similar to the rip move of the the thing that REggie Miller made famous by kicking his legs out. I think it goes against the spirit of what a foul is and its a little distasteful.

This isn't even the least bit true.
