    If the Pacers win tonight, will NBA conspiracy theories be put to rest?

    If the Heat don't get past Indiana, what is left to hang on to for the conspiracy theorists? Don't get me wrong, I think the NBA is the closest pro league to the WWE, but wouldn't the Pacers winning tonight legitimize the league a bit?

    Nothing is 100% Riff but this is about as close to being a lock as there is. There will always be a few examples as to why you can make an argument corruption does not exist. One ex. would be the Mavs beating the Heatles but in reality Bron was just a no show in that series so what can you do? Just hard to make a case for a league that has there poster boy at least representing the NBA in the finals basically every year for 3 decades +. And in several cases it has been done with blatant disregard for caring about image or integrity.

    Well the NBA was 100% rigged at times in the past (Kings-Lakers back in the early 2000's is documented, there is no disputing it). But if the Pacers win tonight, people will have to admit that the rigging is in the past. Ratings for the NBA Finals will be HORRENDOUS if it's PAcers/Spurs. conspiracy theorists will have to shut down the complaints for at least a few years.

    Wrong conspiracy. The rigging is done with Stern & the gambling industry if Pacers win.

    So many of Stern's sportsbooking buddies will be left holding the bag with Heat series & futures bets if MIA wins.

    Therefore, IND will win the series.

    I'm expecting 48-50 FT's for IND vs Heat 10-15 FT's

    Gonna be interesting to see what happens. I'm leaning more towards a Heat win by 15-20 kinda game. Not betting it though.

    No, there's a conspiracy theory for everything, including a Pacers win (books winning).

    LOL so on one hand you say the league is as closed to the WWE as anything else and out the other side of your ignorant mouth, you say the theories should be put to rest if Indiana wins? If every girl you ever dated cheated on you....and then the next girl remained faithful does that mean women don't cheat? Hahaha....the hell is wrong with you? You want Stern to fax you a written confession that the league is tainted?

    Menses read the last sentence in Riff's post that pretty much sums it up! He is simply asking would an Indy win give the league back some legitimacy.

    George fouled out, Hibbert saddled with 5 fouls and in trouble most of the game. Nothing to see here...

    Hibbert should've fouled out in the 3rd Q. The zebras betted on IND but lost.

    No conspiracy last night the better team with the best player showed up with more heart and energy to snag the win. Someone must have told Indy there was gonna be a game 8!

    Dude exactly what I said watching that game. Indy played like there were more games in the series. Not a game 7 effort by any means.

    Vogel gave George and Hibbert extended minutes in the 2nd quarter which led to the blowout. I'm sure that idiot thinks there's a game on Wednesday.
