Sure was. I had the Blazers and couldn't believe the kept letting the Suns score easy layups then the Suns would foul. Did that until the under was toast. That's why I stay away from NBA totals most of the time.

Down 7 - 40s to go and not once did they try for 3. Just kept laying it up, fouling (Portland kept making...) and then Suns go in for the layup again. THREE TIMES....without trying for 3 when ur down 7 ??? That was horrible

This was one of the more obvious ones. If I had the under I would feel like money was stolen from me.

This is most obvious fix I have seen in a long time. Why are they not going for 3 pointers when they are down by 7 points...instead they are going for fukking layups when 17 seconds is left....unbelievable and the fouling stops once it goes over.
19 points scored in the last 42 seconds to cover the over...go figure....and i challenge anyone to argue that this was not fixed....suns had money on over.

I had Under At the very least if it wasn't rigged the Suns are A) Fukking fools or B) Just looking to pad stats.
The Blazers went 32/33 from FT line. Common sense says you are not getting anywhere by trimming the lead using there strategy.

I couldn't figure out the Suns strategy at the end of the game. Seemed pointless until I realized they was killing the under. Thiefs should have their hands cut off.

It's the risk we take when we bet on NBA games.

Its a fair pt. But dude, The Suns should be called aside and questioned about what exactly they were trying to do that last 35s. It was flat out disgraceful. I dont believe in fixes but that really did stink to the hi heavens

I know people don't wan't to think that games are fixed but even the most avid denier has to admit something about this one ain't right.

I totally agree. I had it for the third leg of a 3-teamer and I had a bad feeling since the start of the half that it would hit over even though the total was like 20 away with only three minutes left. Complete horseshit how that game was played in the last minute.

Agreed. Stupid tactic by Suns. You could do that if you face Clippers or Kings since they cant make free throws but against a team that was 25/26 (at that time) and you kept doing lay up, that was plain stupid or fixed.

They atleast should have made it look good. They stopped fouling immediately after the over was attained.

I didn't get to watch it, but that's exactly how it seemed on the gamecast. All action stopped once the total hit 205

It wasn't rigged by the way so stop whining because 57% of the public was on the Over

It could have been one those 18 point quarters for the Suns as well

Why would you go for 3's down by 7 with 40 seconds left, getting quick layups is the thing to do if you can get them.
