This is a little weird to me, but not nearly as bad as the networks (especially ESPN) fawning over all of the celebrities at MSG. The constant camera pans are so cringe. The MSM cares so much about celebrity status. It just shows how out of touch with reality these people still are.

Congrats to all of the real Knicks fans. It's gotta be annoying that the networks continue to parade Kylie fricking Jenner around while your team is winning like she's been a lifelong fan.

Then why didn't they rig all those teams to make it ? Sports conspiracies are the worst kind. You think they convince all these players and coaches to go in on it? You think it's all on the refs? What about injuries and competitive spirits of the best athletes in the world? Why haven't the Yankees made the world series in years? Why are the cowboys so terrible? The Lakers haven't won shite but the bubble. Really it makes no sense.

Tatum doesn’t go down, they ain’t celebrating anything.

Eh they were already down 3-1 when he went down. They gave no indication they were going to win 3 in a row even with him. Boston was cooked when they blew back to back 20 point leads at home imo

NBA will put the NYK in the finals. Who is going to watch an Indiana / Den / OKC/ Minn finals? Don't know anyone who says "i ve always been a Timberwolves fan". The sport is more rigged than the WWE.


I’ve always been a Timberwolves fan.

Outside of the Garnett years and the rise of Ant I wouldn’t recommend it

More amazed how long it’s been. 25 years since an ECF appearance! That’s unbelievable.

Charlotte and New Orleans have never been and it’s been over 25 years for both

And the Pacers are going to send them home again like the Reggie Miller years.

Ok you're 1. Anyone else? Get my point.? The NBA is a brand and totally different from the NFL and MLB.

The fix is in dude. Read Donaghy's book. He even mentioned the fact the league is rigged. Went on record he was instructed by the NBA higher ups to call fouls in the 4th quarter of certain games. For instance, how many times have we heard the phrase, "The Warriors are on a 20-3 run." You mean to tell me teams all of a sudden are coached to quit playing defense and give up being up by 20 points? Please. Pro basketball in general is the easiest fix due to ridiculous calls and give players an opportunity to get to the free throw line. Ever hear of coaches pissed off because thier team shot 15 free throws and the opponent shot 40? You don't find that suspicious? The league is rigged. Especially in the last 25 years.

I do think this shifted a bit when a bunch of those old refs started retiring - Salavatore and others. Always seemed to be Lakers.
