I'm not one to believe a conspiracy theory but I do like hearing about them. Here is a youtube video making the case that the NBA is making sure the Lakers make the playoffs and it seems to have picked up some steam. I actually think there could be something to this.. with NBA referees previous involvement in fixing games and the amount of $ the league would lose should the Jazz or the Mavericks make it in to the playoffs instead of the Lakers, this would not surprise me at all. Follow the $$$. Just interested to hear ya'lls thoughts...
