After getting burned yet again and thinking . Cursing to my buddy and forcing myself to hold off dropping more on a chase he explains this to me:

Buddy: Of course the NBA is rigged.
Me: What are you talking about, and why would you just accept this?

Buddy: Because thats the only way the NBA would exist, without it being fixed these guys would be in the MLB, NFL or just doing something else.

Me: ...

Buddy: Imagine if the favourite won every match and underdogs never won. How boring would the league be? It is already arguably third biggest in the US...the lakers go 75-7 and the Wizards go 10-62 whats the point?

Me: How about they just make the teams more even

Buddy: Bro Americans hate "socialism" but still American sports are the best example of it right under their noses. Look at Soccer, you can count on one hand the number of teams that have won each different league and tournament and cup on one hand. Do you want to see the Yankees, Lakers, and Blackhawks winning every title just because they have more money and bigger fanbases?

Me: Okay so how does the NBA figure out which games to rig?

Buddy: Its for them to decide and build storylines. Thats why tonight you gotta take the Bobcats under 189, Houston -4, and Minnesota +3.5 1H

Me: Say no more, I'll book it right now.

quote: Imagine if the favourite won every match and underdogs never won.
every team is built up by professional athletes, no such thing as an easy game for a favorite

[xpo276]

and then one day during the NBA finals between the Lakers and the Celtics, the Lakers will be held hostage in the locker room by the Miami Heat, thus forcing a three way match up between the teams. BRILLIANT!

Yes, and glad to be on the other side of the Cavs play. I also think 1h Blazer bet is pretty dumb too.

3-2...6-2 over two days. Demens normally I can tolerate you but you run your mouth far too often.

You know what you can do with that 2 day record? Maybe send in an application to the handicapping hall of fame, i mean 6-2 in 2 days, thats freaking legendary.

I won my GS bet btw.

Of course 6-2 over two days is not even a footnote, but you said "youre friend is a dumb***" and 6-2 is not a dumb***. Eight picks unless 0-8 is not anything. My point is you were running your mouth like you mean anything.
Get a life. Ill pick v. pick you if you think youre such hot stuff. Run your mouth? Step up to the plate

[squid44]

i need to know how old you guys are so i can laugh harder when you bicker hahaha

set up a challenge if you want. Your friend is still an idiot and 6-2 is meaningless.

[sr14]

pretty funny that you think just because your friend picked a few games, that now means he can say for sure the NBA is rigged.

[QUEST001]

Nba is rigged it's been proven in my opinion. Refs have been busted. Lakers should take this tonight but rig will be in full effect Miami by more than 10 thanks to rig theory........Gl to your plays.....

[KingDave101]

I don't understand this thread. You say that NBA is rigged, then throw out some picks. You don't say how/why it's rigged, or why the picks you made mean its rigged.

I do have a really bad feeling that Miami is going to win this one. What a storyline that would be, eh? Heat can't beat elite teams from the east, but can dominate the Lakers. Though if this was the case we probably would have seen a Lebron/Kobe final years ago.
