He's right.

That out of bounds call on LeBron in Game 5 and Victor Oladipo's shot clock violation in Game 7 were two signs I knew the fix was in.

The MSB is now conflicted. Do they agree with their most hated enemy?

I'm glad I don't contribute to all the ire regarding Lebron. It's so divisive.

SAS is still upset Lebron called him fake news last year. No one holds a grudge like he does.

I know this makes sense for basketball reasons, but it's still funny to argue that the fix is in to get the Cavaliers matched up with the 76ers.

How the frick can anybody watch SAS screamtalk all high-pitched like that for more than 15 seconds? Holy shite.

I've actually softened a little on SAS over the years. I still can't stand him, but less so than previously. But holy shite, that clip was annoying as frick.

Of course the NBA wouldn’t let Lebron lose in the first round. This isn’t some crazy conspiracy theory when it’s been proven the NBA has fixed games in the past.

Was done with him after the "you don't wanna make an enemy out of me" crap with Kevin Durant.

Dude takes himself entirely too seriously.

He is right, but he is annoying as hell. As he says he isn't like he is because he is on tv, but rather he is on tv because of how he is. I hope in private he is a lot calmer and, to be fair, he is a very intelligent guy, but he plays up his persona because it has made him millions.

This would have been a much hotter take BEFORE the game.

Stephen A has been terrible for years, but he’s done really well being a phony because he trolls tf out of dumb casual fans.

The NBA has been the WWE since 2000.

I don't know how after people watched the Kings-Lakers series they could take this "sport" seriously.

From the frozen envelop to Jordan's "retirement" to the 2006 NBA Finals.

2006 Dallas had a Draymond Green suspension after falling down 0-2 to the Mavericks...just like the Cavs had against Golden State.

Then they suspended Stackhouse in game 4.

Then Dwayne Wade shot 25 FTs in Game 5.



The Mavericks ENTIRE TEAM shot 25 FTs.

When the Heat went down, the refs gave Dwayne Wade 15 in the 2nd half alone.

The Heat shot 50 FTs.

"You couldn't even be around that guy and have them not call a foul." - Maverick's center

"You couldn't touch that guy." - Phil Jackson

In the first 3 rounds, Dwayne Wade averaged 51 FT attempts per series and Dirk averaged 58 attempts.

In the Finals Dirk average 55 FT attempts and Wade averaged 97!!!!!

A 90% increase from the first 3 rounds. Dirk stayed the same and Wade jumped through the roof.

And then in Game 6 Wade shoots 21 FTs all by himself and the ENTIRE Mavericks team shoots 23.

Draymond Green was a freshman in high school in 2006. What?

The suspension vs the Cavs was because Draymond committed a flagrant foul that hit a pre-set limit for the playoffs. It never would have happened if he hadn't had prior calls in prior series. Also, the league could have given him a flagrant 2, which would have carried a two game suspension instead of one.

Draymond is a bad example in 2006 or 2016.
