I agree completely. I was just saying what fans on respective sides are saying.

There has never been documented evidence of the league fixing games and independent reviews of games havnt found any evidence either. People get it in their head the league fixed the games one way or another and then just leave it to selective memory and confirmation bias to prove themselves correct.

Pretty sure I trust Tim Donaghy more than David Stern or anyone else sucking the tit of that corrupt piece of shit. Donaghy confirmed what everyone with half-a-brain saw in game 6 of LAL/SAC.

That's not a matter of agreeing/disagreeing. Heat fans can bitch all they want about that call, it was 100% correct. Now with game 6 in 2002, that's something you can agree/disagree on. Shit is relative.

Insanely detailed analysis of game 6

Summary

As a whole, these plays suggest to me the refs were calling the game honestly, if perhaps not well.

It was a joke...lighten up. I agree that some games in the past have been rigged, but certainly not stemming from the NBA organization.

i'm surprised the thunder arn't down more with the heat playing so well

heat shot 37,8% vs the thunders 42.9%. Heat won because thunder missed 9 free throws. San Antonio could never stop the thunder from scoring 100+. Seems like the only way to stop the thunder offence is to get Durant in foul trouble. Preety sure Durant is gonna make defensive adjustments for game 4 so he can play 44+ min. I'm also a huge fan of LBJ playing the power forward position, I like him cutting / posting instead of standing top of the key staring at his team. I'd gladly trade 2-3 assists (and turnovers) for an extra 4-5 rebounds

LBJ bossing it up

My comment was written in the first quarter with about 2 mins to go : ) ...agree w/ ur LBJ comment

no way heat is winning this.

If LBJ keeps up his 30/10 average the heat r unbeatable in a series.

It blows my mind that people don't give the heat much credit (eg thunder being favored to win in ESPN polls). The heat are the best team in NBA history in terms of absolute player athletic talent (bball skill and relative athletic skill is another story). Expecting them to lose a series against any team is bizarre imo

I think thunder are gonna give an all in effort today, if the heat win tonight its over. It's gonna be up to the refs to find the fouls on Durant

okc wins tonight

Heat win tonight and win thursday...goin with my pre series prediction that it would heat in 5 if they won game 1 or 2 and heat in 7 if they didn't.

Ibaka's foul on Bosh in the 2nd quarter w/ like 3:30 left...worst call i can remember of the playoffs

edit: wade-rondo might be worse, but it's close

edit2: GG...fucking morons that favored the Thunder to win this series.

pussied out and took 1st quarter okc +130 only. sucks i had a 1:1 odds bet that miami wouldnt win the series nooooooooooooo

Harden was just TERRIBLE tonight, threw game imo.

I'm waiting for the ppl on other forums (no one in this forum to my knowledge) who have been going "lol nba is rigged obv it will go to 7 games so the NBA makes more money" to have to own up.

This and chalmers stepped up. I didn't follow the game too closely, how was the officiating?
