You said Cleveland was winning games 3 and 4 because that's what the NBA wanted. What happened with that? NBA changed its mind?

People who doubt the NBA is rigged ignore Tim Donaghy

One guy fixed games so now the entire NBA is in on it, from the top down?

It wasn't "rigged" but when the refs insert themselves into the game it can seem that way.
IMO it was a ugly brutal game to watch. It's not how I like my basketball, not that anyone cares

It is such a ridiculous proposition. GS got 5 more FTs, the NBA makes no more money regardless of series length, and the NBA didn't let any previous series go back to GS.
Did you see that first quarter? The officiating was not the same for both teams. They seemed to "let them play" when it helped the cavs, but called it tight when it put then at a disadvantage. They attempted 22 free throws in the first. And then only 9 for the rest of the game.

I wanna know how was it rigged? I'd love to know the explanation. That was just incompetence by terrible referees
If the NBA is rigged like you conspiracy theory dumbasses say it is, then why doesn't every Finals go 7 games?

I honestly think the fix was in to help Lebron. The League stands to benefit from their poster-boy not getting embarrassed in the finals. Yes his stats are great in the finals thus far, but they know people will always cast shade on Lebron getting swept. It was done so that when looking back in history there would be no knee jerk overreactions to them getting swept and that "Lebron was so great to get one win in the finals over the greatest team of all time".

What game did you watch?
In the second half they LITERALLY changed a technical called on Green, in order to keep him in the game. When has that ever happened. . .EVER?
They ignored the big down syndrome white guy punching Schumpert in the dick on INSTANT REPLAY.

I read yesterday that the NBA would lose out on $22 million if the Warriors would have swept. Of course it was rigged.
In that case why didn't Draymond get ejected? Why did they call a faint Flagrant when Durant got touched on the head?

Your reading comprehension is horrid then. The article was strictly about the Warriors ownership group. The NBA has made their money through contracts, the 22MM would go directly to GSW owners through ticket sales, secondary market, and food/drink sales. Per game the NBA actually makes less for any series that goes over 4 because the NBA has guaranteed contracts from their sponsors and through tv. That was the point of the article. I even think it ended with something along the lines of if they don't complete the sweep the Warriors owners will have no issue splitting the projected 10.08MM they are projected to make off a game 5 at the Oracle.

The refs helped the Cavs get a huge lead. Then they slowly gave the Warriors calls to make the stats look fair at the end of the game. Its the oldest trick in the book.

Exactly what happened and and both teams knew it as well. Cavs knew they could go crazy without repercussion and GSW knew they were going to be benched early due to touch foul trouble.

shite, how could I miss the non ejection on Zaza hitting Shump IN THE NUTS. They got a double technical!

Agreed, great stats. Also, not to take anything away from Lebron, but it bothers me that people were glossing over Curry's stats in the finals through 3 games. He was nearly averaging a triple double too.

Where were you in the first two games when GS was hacking every arm and fouls weren't getting called?

It was obvious to any rational person that has watched the NBA for some time that the league obviously put in the call to favor cleveland early on. And as one other poster said, the oldest trick in the book - as long as Cleveland keeps a nice lead, start to even out the fouls, free throws etc.
Posted on 6/10/17 at 10:08 am to jprice4608
You're a moron.
It wasn't rigged in those two first games when damn near every call goes GSW way but it's rigged when any call goes aagainst GSW.
Cavs had 9 FT the remaining 3 quarters and GSW ended with the most FT and avoided two obvious ejections. They even ingored Zaza dick punching Shumpert yet gave a tectnical to a bench player for talking.
Pathetic.

Looked rigged to me. I thought it was blatant how the refs put in 53% of Cleveland's three pointers. No integrity.

They are crybabies.
Every game the team the support loses or the team they hate wins, they say it's a conspiracy.
When GSW were hacking Kyrie in the paint game three that was just good defending though.
