Scott Foster...guy who was talking to Tim Donahuge when they were rigging games..yet he is still in the NBA..

This league is a joke and is the main reason why i can't really watch basketball anymore. There is no doubt the NBA sets the matches before they happen..like Miami will go to finals..no matter what. Now that Rose is out..they don't want Chicago to go to the finals

If they rig it like they did last year, they'll let the Heat play the way they have been until the Finals, then make it so that they can't so much as breathe on Durant or Westbrook. As for your post, I don't think they'll even have to rig it. Miami's top competition in the playoffs is now the Celtics... and those legs have logged a lot of minutes.

The NBA is GROSS. It went from the sport I loved the most in the 80's, to the one I like the least now. From their tattoed from head to toe players, to their MTV in game presentation, down to their rancid style of 1 on 1 or shoot a 3 basketball. The league is tough is simply not as enjoyable to watch as it once was. Worst of all about it, is the officiating, and how much control over the game the referees have. I simply don't trust that league to be on the up and up. The series that really did it for me was that Sacramento vs Lakers series a bunch of years ago. The officiating was so blatantly in the tank for the Lakers, that I remember my buddy in LA telling me he thought the game was fixed. And he was a Lakers fan! I watch it cuz I love sports, and will forever be a Celtics fan, but it's the sport I care about the least now.

I dunno guys, if the league could endure the Celtics winning 8 straight times without the fix going in why would they risk destroying everything now?

Has there ever been a rogue person/small group messing around? I'd be surprised if it never happened, but the whole league sanctioning it? No way.

It's the height of ridiculousness to suggest that the league is rigged. We hear people say the same thing about the NFL all the time. Nothing would kill - and I mean compeltely and totally kill - the golden goose faster than a scandal showing things were rigged. (Yes there are examples of individuals acting to fix games, but I'm talking about a league-wide scandal designed to help certain teams).

Chicago lost their best player (with another key player also injured) so they lost their series. It's really not anything more complicated than that and it's certainly not some league-wide conspiracy.

I pretty much gave up on the NBA after game five or six against the lakers...any time we made up some sort of momentum, tweet and a bull**** call against the c's. It got to the point that I could predict them. Meanwhile pierce and rondo were getting mugged all game long to no avail. Haven't watched since we lost game seven, don't have the time to and wouldn't if I did.

i dont think there is anyway the entire league is rigged. that would require a very high level of skill and competence the league doesn't have. and there is just no way in hell they could keep a secret for very long. it would be just a matter of time before it came out.

Like I was saying about the NBA and it's refereeing.... An offensive foul call on a screen, with seconds left in a 3 point playoff game.

i didn't like the call either but the celtics lost that game in the 3rd quarter. thats got to be one of the worst played quarters in celtics history. absolutely putrid.

I mean i am watching these games..but only to hold me over to football which is why i hope the C's at least make it to the next round..but philly is young..a bad thing for the C's.

Refs and the calls have turned me away from being a NBA fan
