I don't think the refs were directed by the NBA, or mafia or whatever to do what they had to in order to extend the series to 7. But lot's of folks I've talked to, and even a few who are semi-intelligent really believe it to be so. I find the notion preposterous.
This. It is ridiculous. Even if you entertain the idea, you have to explain why they picked this series and let other ones wrap up in 4 or 5 games, even series with more cachet.

Of course. They rigged that go ahead 3 by Kyrie over Steph.

Having every series go to game 7 would be a little to obvious dont you think

I think it's proposterous that you can't see how the Cavs were given a slight push in spots in 5 and 6. Game 7 was fine the Cavs won and good for them and Lebron but I truly believe when GS was up 3-1 it made it easier at least for them to suspend Green and call ticky tack shite on GS. It wasn't this huge advantage to Cleveland but it was there even if it was slight. If GS was down in the series Green doesn't get suspended for instance, so I agree they would've helped GS in that scenario. Whoever was down was getting the benefit of the calls and decisions basically is my conclusion.

And to the person who is spouting "why don't they do it every year then blah blah." The Narrative this year, on both sides was one of the best in NBA history. Plenty of reason for them to want to it to go 7 unlike other years where there isn't as much background at play.

You don't think the NBA would've loved Lebron winning last year with a depleted squad?

Of the people I know personally that share this view, none of them actually watch the games.

I find it hard to believe if the fix was in for Cleveland they would've put Cleveland down 3-1. But hey, what do I know, I dont own any tin foil hats.

Does the NBA actually receive more money on the TV deal for extra games? I thought the deal was locked in regardless.
Even still, people are claiming this was rigged are, for lack of a better term, retarded.
-The NBA didn't cause Curry to disappear in the finals.
-They didn't cause the Warriors to go cold in these last 3 games.
-They didn't cause Draymond to nut check a player every other possession and break the flagrant foul limit to receive a suspension
-They didn't cause Harrison Barnes to start playing like a D-leaguer
-They didn't secretly injure Bogut
-They didn't cause the Warriors to absolutely choke away a 3-1 lead with home court advantage with arguably one of the toughest environments to play in.
For the series, the foul calls against was 150-147. Warriors were called for only 3 more fouls.
So everyone, please tell me how "the fix was in", how it was carried out and who carried it out?
It wasn't the officiating. Is everyone insinuating that Curry/Thompson took money to miss shots? Maybe Kerr decided he wanted some extra money to renovate the kitchen, so he took money to frick with the lineups?

Sure. But this year 73 wins vs Lebron trying to win won for the worst sports city in America where he happens to be from and has a touch and gi history with a much bigger better narrative. I don't think there was a huge push or rig. I just think whoever happened to be down in the series was gonna be the beneficiary of calls and decisions and if the other team won in spite of it so be it

it is, this is what the tinfoil hat people never acknowledge since it ruins their little narrative. The NBA gets (has already gotten) the same amount of money if Toronto had swept OKC

I don't think my position is crazy. Cleveland wasn't given any huge advantage. Just a slight one. GS would've gotten it too had they been down. I fully believe Green isn't suspended if they were down or tied. Like I've already explained it's not about money it's that this is possibly the best narrative finals in NBA history.

Maybe if Curry scored more than one basket in the 4th quarter it wouldnt matter.
Thats right, the MVP couldnt buy a shot all series. Nobody to blame but themselves
