Was Mavs Hornets game Rigged (on Espn)

ztballer · 11-05-09, 12:45 AM

read that book that the ref wrote about the league

game is rigged

Psylence · 11-05-09, 12:45 AM

These guys get paid tens if not hundreds of millions .. how much do you thiink it would actually cost to rig a game?

Brakon00 · 11-05-09, 12:48 AM

it makes no sense how this game ended......what are the chances a team who is 26 for 33 from the free throws miss all 3 freethrows and then throw the ball away with 6 sec. to go in the game to win the game with a tied score....not only that but not hit a single field goal in overtime.

Checkerboard · 11-05-09, 12:50 AM

I was on the second half under 94, so I was liking the missed free throws. The Hornet points at the end took the second half total over and then the game goes into OT, where Dallas loses. It was at least a crazy finish, if not a thrown one.

if the game was rigged, would chris paul have argued to get a technical foul and have the chance of being down by 4 and not be able to tie the game up?

stats13 · 11-05-09, 12:54 AM

how bout the memphis-gs game?

31/48 fts, some terrible shooting, seems fixed

Brakon00 · 11-05-09, 12:56 AM

I obviously meant rigged on dallases side u dumb fk!

ipickwinners · 11-05-09, 12:57 AM

i did not watch this game

what was the final shot to tie the game in regulation? 3 pointer? how much time? what was it?

Brakon00 · 11-05-09, 01:03 AM

there was no final shot...read my first post! dallas was up 3 with 22 sec. left in 4th quarter.....hornets ball and chris paul is called for offensive foul against dallas gaurd berea. So while berea is about to shoot the free throws they call technical foul on paul for arguing and cursing at the ref that the offensive foul was not a foul and that it was a flop by mavs point gaurd berea. So berea ends up missing the techincal foul free throw and then both free throws from the foul commited by chris paul. So hornets get ball back and peja hits 3 pointer and now its 97-97 and dallas has ball with 6 sec. left. Jason kidd throws pass to david west over left post side of court and paul gets the ball from david west and has the ball at half court with 2 sec. left and chucks up running 3 pointer and misses...overtime occurs and mavs miss everything except 2 threepointers by jason terry when they r down 6 and 7 points after fouling ...and lose by 7.... = RIGGED GAME!

diogee · 11-05-09, 01:05 AM

Can't say it was rigged...not like they totally bricked those ft's. Just a bad and improbable beat....Mavs were playing defense in the 4th. If they were fixing the game they would have fouled a lot more and given up easy shots at the other end.

lakerboy · 11-05-09, 01:06 AM

Brakon you are retarded leave the site asap. Go and keep fading the public that's your model right retard?

corona · 11-05-09, 01:09 AM

maybe because i had 600 bucks on Dallas to cover the +4

62% on dallas.

what's the matter with you? i thought you never bet with the public.

ipickwinners · 11-05-09, 01:09 AM

so wait...peja hit a 3 pointer to tie the game up with 6 seconds left....right? was that rigged? did they tie a rope to the ball and make sure it went into the net? the guy had to make the shot...what if he misses? what happens then? if it was rigger, they dont let it come down to a 3 pointer with 6 seconds left...

this is the worst cry for a fixed game i have ever heard

do not talk to me about any other play of missed FT or technical foul....stop and think about this for a second

you are correct..i do fade the public in most bets...but this game didn't seem like a game where I should fade the public. Mavericks are a much better team and the hornets have everything going against them. Bad coaching, horrible play setups, horrible record, horrible spread record, peja is coming off the bench, nowitzki, terry and marion and kidd are sooo much better than pual, west, and okafor! cmon dude...no way you took hornets -4 in this game....laying 4 points on a team that can barely beat the kings and lose to the knicks????

jsmithj88 · 11-05-09, 01:15 AM

like i always say,
people who cry about games being rigged are just looking for an excuse for losing

marabdl86 · 11-05-09, 01:16 AM

These bad beats are making me sick. I had the mavericks moneyline and thought this game was over when I heard 2 free throws and a tech. Missed 3 in a row and allow a 3 pointer. The NBA where amazing happens.

sickening

diogee · 11-05-09, 01:16 AM

I would say a lot of people on the Hornets were against a team playing B2B after spending a huge amount of effort on a 4th qtr comeback...

Basketball is a game of variance more than any other sport to me.

Well said, I'm also sure a lot of people who took the Hornets looked at that line and saw Dallas at +4 as the linemakers asking for action. They sided with the books and got there, lucky or not, but doubtful it was rigged.

Mac4Lyfe · 11-05-09, 01:22 AM

It sure looked fishy but it was just bad Mav play. They are usually the best FT shooting team in the league and they choke down the stretch. Then they let Peja put up an awkard, off balance 3. Why not foul before the shot and let them get 2 free throws. The Lakers did the same shit. You can't give up a 3 in that spot. It's stupid play. Foul and only give up 2 for the win. That was a bad beat for Dallas as a team, especially with Dampier playing out of his mind but even worse for Dallas Backers. I was going to bet big on this game but got in late on the line. One time it worked in my favor. That was a bad beat.

Sauce · 11-05-09, 01:22 AM

I had 2 parlays riding on the mavs money line. I will say I'm disappointed barea missed the FTs, but that's just how the cookie crumbles. $400 that I could have had for 1 made FT, but life goes on. there's 70+ games left in the regular season, let's make some money fellas!

Diogee...how does a great 4th quarter performance mean to fade them the next game?? if anything it means a good thing...shows they can come off the next game with more tempo and better performance.......no idea where you took this out of your azz ??

THESE EXCUSES FOR WHY MY REASONS FOR THIS GAME BEING RIGGED MAKE NO SENSE!

4 key points how this game was rigged:

1) up 3 points with 3 free throws and all 3 miss when the player has made 3 for 3 during game and the team is 26/33 prior to them
2) up 3 points and no one defends the guy who everyone knows is getting the ball to shoot the 3....peja!!! no one gaurded him!!!..he was wide open!!! they double teamed David West?????? the guy cant shoot anythign outside of 15 feet! and even if they give him a shot there down 3 !!!!
3) jason kidd throws the ball away with a tie game when all he has to do is pull up a shot or pass to terry or dampier on the top of the 3point arch next to him..he instead throws it into double coverage with 4 sec to go....WHO PASSES THE BALL WITH 4 SEC. LEFT IN GAME WHEN TIE GAME TO WIN THE GAME????
4) in overtime dallas had no DEFENSE! they let chris paul shoot everything and let brown take uncontested shots on the side! it wasnt being allowed throughout the entire game!!

EXPLAIN ALL 4 you INSULTING LOSERS!

Razz_Donkey · 11-05-09, 01:31 AM

Brakon, whats more improbable, that the Mavs missed 3 free throws down the stretch and failed to guard an aging outside shooter in their second of back to back late games, or that the Mavs team conspired to allow a dramatic win and a cover for the Hornets in OT?

Playing in B2B nights against a rested team...I don't look at things the same way as you apparently. It took a huge amount of emotional energy for that comeback last night...whether you agree that it wears on a player or not I'll continue to do what I do and you do what you do. Variance will happen in hoops...win some and lose some. Sure I'll lose somewhere around 400 nba games again this year.

chris440 · 11-05-09, 01:37 AM

Not very possible, Peja had to shoot a 3 to tie it.

alamo · 11-05-09, 01:38 AM

I had New Orleans on the money line and switched it off with 30 seconds to go. Couldnt believe when I found out later they won. Didnt see the end but wow they really blew this one. A badbeat for a Mav backer and I guess a good one for a Hornet backer. One thing that is certain... The Hornets are hopeless....They are a one man team in CP3.I will be fading them big time this year.

I'm repeating this, where are you Brakon?

shantystar · 11-05-09, 02:03 AM

**** mavericks!!!!!

PockyStick · 11-05-09, 02:05 AM

A technical foul wouldn't be callled on CP3 had they really wanted to rig this particular game
