Let me start off by saying that I don't believe in fixes but lets take a look at this.
1. The Celtics get every single call all game not to mention the moving screen KG set on just about every play of the game.

2. Celtics down 6 with 25 seconds and they don't foul, since when don't teams foul and try to come back with 20 or more seconds left.

3. This one is the one that takes the cake, Lamar Odom scores with 6 seconds left and is obviously fouled and instead of calling and 1 they call an offensive foul. Well I am done with the NBA finals this shit is rigged for ratings. As much as it pains me to say this it is the truth and anyone that doesn't see it is blind.

I took LAL -9 myself and am very frustrated. Clearly they dominated that game (outside the 3rd quarter) and yet were horrendous at the FT line and the ending was extremely bizzare with the no foul and bogus offensive foul call. Poorly played game and poorly officiated as well.

[TheAnswer03]

I agree 100%. How do you not foul with 20+ seconds left in the NBA FINALS?!?

When you can't win the game.

[gizmo2431]

They still had an opportunity to win the game... Slim chance of course, but it was possible.

[chipski]

did anyone see jack the joker turn his back in disgust after odom was called for the offensive foul when he tryed to slam it trying to get the cover ? (i dont feel like trying to spell nicholson , however the f you spell it . poor jack is not alone in the screw job , millions were screwed ...

man that was as classic as it could eveeeeeeeeer get !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! even more obvious than the laker 3 with 1 sec left up 8 pts . i know tacos , wrong !

is amazing that pt spreads are ruling sports like they are these days . flat out amazing , but is true without any doubt . no different than the nba ref being exposed .. is kinda like if you ever smell smoke then there has to be fire right . we saw the smoke , smelt the smoke , some even choked on the smoke . nobody did anything to put out the smoke . so it's still smoooking and will always be smoking . will always be shi! in the nba game .
this is not cool at all .

all pro sports rigged at least 1 time a year even womens

I'm really starting to think this forum is getting pathetic...First off someone said the Celtics got dominated?? Are u Kidding Me? the big 3 goes 16 for 47, they shoot 12 less FF and had a chance to win @ that arena they should call a jamboree..Damn those refs, clearly 1 sided all game long...The rims and backboards were a main factor the celtics shot so poorly, and my grandmother sasha ricecheck got so excited Euro 2008 is on he thought he was playing soccer and got hot....waaaaaaaa, you know what, just wait to game 4, Celtics will win 4 straight, just watch
Honestly, If I were Laker fan, I'd be seriously worried....Again, take the generous points and have a drink

[Ln2Blaze]

Lol, I'm really scared of the Lakers losing at home with the Celtics 2-8 road record....

But back to the topic.. I have never really liked to think sports are fixed and shit, but I do agree there has been too much fishy shit about these games recently. I find it really funny now with Donaghy coming out and saying they altered the games of 02 and 05... I love how they are just trying to steep it under the rug and say that he's a horrible guy and that could never be true. It makes it seem even more true that it happened. Now with this series it seems even more possible...

[polishkielbasa10]

Thats just Laker fan making excuses for what's gonna ultimately happen

THANK YOU strictly.. Finally someone else sees my point. I have been saying this all along and been following Basketball for 25 years. Like I said before ONLY the people that knows the spread will know the difference or question why certain things are the way it is. Yes PLAYERS and COACHES knows the spread and they will play it.. Catch the right side and you cash.

Yes I know, and trust me I am the first to say that for the most part fixes don't happen sports are funny and crazy shit happens I understand that I have been on the wrong side of so many winners that take a turn for the worse out of nowhere and that is just the nature of the beast and I have learned to exceppt it. This series on the other hand is a joke with how blantenly it is being called by the refs. And with the whole Donohue thing looming over head it has shed new light on my suspicions. The NBA the business the league has alterior motives for how they would like the games to go. ANd for those that say these people are rich they can't be bribed, we are not taking about the individual but rather the league itself, and as a business if you stand to make 10s of millions of extra dollars because a series goes a couple extra games or because a star player stays in the game longer, don't you think it would be a wise business decision to do this. Its a shame I love basketball it is a great sport but the integrity of the NBA is very suspect.

Retards, celtics win 4 straight is in response and making fun of several laker fanatics who know nothing and complain about the officiating and backboards and crowd yelling too loud...Fact is Laker fan, if you wanna bitch about the officiating in this series, lets look back at that Series in Question against the Kings several years ago that u went on to win it all...Tainted...
Lastly, how many more Celtic players can go down...Anyone else sick of watching Kobe Kobe Kobe on sportscenter...he's a ball hog and lucky to win yesterday...Take a look at his record when he scores 35+....37 points and 1 assist, ballhog???definately not right

I dont see kobe as a ballhog. He has to score, because his supporting cast didn't help him at all last night. He tries time and time again this season by passing the ball to build confidence in his mates. Only Sasha was game enough to show in game 3. What do you think he's going to do....wait around and pass the ball to teammates that cant score.

I don't think someone who obviously is either a huge celtics fan or has predetermined to root for the celtics can pass rational judgment on the series. I think that this guys aggressive attacks upon these cappers shows his insecurity about the capabilities of his celtics team. This guy is a celtics fan who is going to talk about the reasons the Celtics will win, and ignore any legitimate reasons the Lakers will win. Both sides must be taken into consideration. This is a handicapping forum, not a place for you to root for your own team with no rational and put down cappers who have legit reasons.
