      I rarely take team that has to cover a huge number but with the Knicks missing a couple of key players for sure I thought the Suns would kill them, and they did. They were up 20 with 4 min to go and I got them at (-13). Of course the suns do let the Knicks score and then kept turning the ball over on offense , stupid shit. I have done alright 20-15 record in the association this year and did well last year but I can not take a loss having the feeling the games are rigged and you can not talk me out of that suns, knicks games was not rigged. LETS GO NCAA HOOPS!!!!

              Wait, let me get this straight... you think the NBA is fixed and your solution is to bet on COLLEGE basketball? Um, methinks your sanity is not long for this world.

                Sorry about the loss, but that wasn't what made me laugh. It's the fact that so many people always need to find a reason they want to believe behind things, rather than being objective and seeing it for what it really is.

                The fact that teams shut down and stop trying when up 20 in the 4th quarter shouldn't surprise anyone. It's factored into the spread, and it happens all the time. There's simply no need to care whether you win by 20 or 10 or 5.

                  OK this has to be one of the dumbest things ive heard. So your saying that since the Suns were up 20 and win by like 11,12 or wtvr for the Knicks to cover that means the game was fixed? Are you retarded? Do you think these players on the Suns who are getting paid millions of dollars purposely let the Knicks score some points at the end to let them cover? Um...NO. You had a bad beat but to start making dumb comments like this is a joke. The Suns could care less if they win by 20,15,10...They just wanna win the game.

                    well yea I have cooled off now but you people have been saying some dumb things. Yea the NBA was proven to be fixing games last year so yea it could have been something going on, college hoops are less likely to be fixed, those young men play hard are want to win and they dont let up. When it comes down to it I am winning so far in ncaa and nba it's early but I am winning so good luck to you assholes in your games in the future

                      they could have given more effort at the end, the Knicks did.

                      You probably did not even watch the game

                        the NBA was not proven to be fixing games... It is true that one Ref turned out to be betting on games he officiated and other refs gambled but not on their games...

                        Actually some of the biggest fixing scandals in the past have come out of college basketball. Anybody remember Arizona St?

                          NBA is fixed, it has been proven. if one ref did it, I am sure more are invloved.

                            yes it was, your an idiot if you really think he did not lean his calls toward the team he had money on.

                              The complete opposite is true.

                              Who's more likely to shave points - a professional making 10 mil/per or a 19-year-old college kid not making a dime?

                                WOW. If your gonna tell me it is more likely to see a fixed game in the NBA then NCAA you must be drunk right now. Are you really kidding me? Why would a professional athlete who makes millions be more inclined to throw a game then a college athlete who has NO INCOME! How much money would an NBA athlete need to get paid in order for it to be worth it for them to fix a game? Then think how much the guy paying them off would then again have to bet on that game. Do you not think if a guy went up to the window like putting down 5 mil or something on a random NBA game that the game wouldn't be closely watched? Pretty much it wouldn't happen. In NCAA they can pay off the athlete for 15k or so bet 50k on the game and no one says anything. Please people be logical here and stop wasting your time believing these myths you create in your head. I mean honestly lets not be stupid here.

                                  It's pretty simple really...

                                  If you think the games are fixed - Don't wager on that sport.

                                  End of discussion.

                                    If this game was fixed for the Knicks, why did the line move the other way?

                                    That pretty much shows a fix was highly unlikely.

                                    A 20pt lead with 4:54 to go falling to 11 before the game ends is not really that unusual.

                                        that game probably was not fixed, but I still think alot fo them are.
