    POLL: are the Lakers still worth rigging (for Stern) with Kobie OUT of the playoffs

    see what Stern was rigging was the Kobie vs. Lebron NBA Finals..

    the Dream Finals.. that everyone was talking about since LBJ entered
    the league and played exclusively in the East...

    but with Kobie out, viewers will drop significantly...
    even from Laker fans...

    as well.. the playoffs would require AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF RIGGING...
    since the Lakers needed so much help (even against losing records)

    can you imagine vs. winning records... EVERY GAME... !?!?!?

    it would be too obvious.. i think Stern tarnished his reputation enough this
    season helping them out..

    but watching this 1st Qtr.. THE LAKERS NEED HELP (lots of it)

    He may only rig it so the series is extended....which is what he has done many times in the past...certain series should have been over in 4...but what good is that...this is NBA sweeps...just like TV season finales where the last episodes are 2hrs....I would imagine he would like a long series.....either way.......Lakeshow will definitely need help....Spurs are not even playing that well......but they are just that much better than this LA team......

    lol... i think maybe he rigs a single game.
    to make it look good.. so hard to do on National TV. though..

    but he's done it before.. i just think that Laker fans are really just Kobie fans... and now their favorite
    bottle of moonshine is gone. and they are drinking O'doul's....

    and ready to give up drinking altogether..

    i guess we'll see..*

    This was not a bad loss by the Lakers....more of a bad use of rotating players by D'Antoni....Meeks and Clark barely played...Ginobli was really the difference.....no major free throw disparity either....If Stern does indeed decide to extend the series...look for Joey C to make an appearance....by game 3........

    I guess it's a lot harder for the refs to rig for the other players because Kobe can create offense all of the other players can't really do that so I choose no.
