Has there been fixed games in this years playoffs?
Regardless of whether you have been on the right or the wrong side, what do you really think?
By fixed I mean fixed as to winner loser, or fixed as to spread.

Both Bobcats home games against the Magic.
Refs tried their best to give Bobcats an advantage, but they were too garbage to help.

That is the most entertaining thing for me in today's NBA - when a fix is in and the team is too useless to take advantage of it.

Not yet but lots of games have had very serious biased reffing towards home sides- no need for fixes yet the stakes arent there yet.

I believe there are way more crooked players that are laying money on games than people think

right off the top of my head..game 6 of suns @blazers..i beleive this game was fixed for the blazers, especially in the fourth quarter, however, the blazers, instead of driving in and going to the free throw line, kept taking jumper after jumper and didn't help themselves, and the suns took the game...
i agree with the magic/bobcats games that someone mentioned above...
games 6 & 7 of the hawks/bucks as well...the nba wasn't expecting the bucks to have that great comeback in the 4th quarter @ atlanta in game 5...then to my surprise the hawks after losing i dont know how many games in a row on the road in the playoffs, the BLOWOUT the bucks in milwakee and then go on to blowout the bucks in game 7 in atlanta .. after the bucks took a double digit lead in game 7 early on, the bucks never cut it back to single digits i believe...
and also game 1 of the cavs and celtics, the celtics are dominating the first half and even most of the third quarter despite cavs getting most calls..then the cavs have a little run and the whole fourth quarter was in the cavs favor as far as officiating...the call that stood out the most was when it was a 3pt game i believe and pierce drove with 1:33 left in the game and there was quite a bit of contact and there was no call then the cavs come back and hit a shot which lead them to not only win the game but also cover the spread by half a point or a point, depending the number u had ...
i think these have been the "fixed" games that have stood out the most so far this postseason, theres been a few others like in the lakers/thunder series and even lakers/jazz ...
thats the way i see it anyways...this postseason has been really profitable for me thus far by trying to spot these fixes...

how could you NOT have had a fixed game? there's too much money to be made with fixes and one of the most important things i've learned in life is to never underestimate the greed of man.

I think the fix is in drama is overblown - but I do think there are crooked players betting games. I just think they're doing it in the regular season when less focus is on them. There is a lot of money at stake based on how they play, many of them would have to bet a lot of money to offset that.

I don't think the refs take sides, but most likely the Over/Under

How have the Over/Unders been right down to the exact point or half point in so many games?
Pure luck/coincidence? I find it hard to believe the oddsmakers are THAT sharp

I'm somewhat surprised at the poll results so far. Despite the ref scandals and the obviously degenerate gamblers/players in the NBA, i still thought most people were still naive to this.
