and then last night AMAZING HAPPENED!

the question is .... does last night make you think the NBA is not rigged or is it rigged?

Did they let the scrub teams to win to spark interest in the playoffs?

or does this mean anything can happen and the NBA is a legitimate league?

BTW can you imagine if you Parlayed both Warriors and Bulls ML for 1,000 bucks? Hahaha

You mean Warriors spread?
I thought of doing one for shits and giggles, but then didn't and just took the spreads of both.
Ehhh... bought points to where it was 2:1, but I'm happy I made some and didn't lose any. Was seriously thinking about taking Heat spread, then though screw that, Bulls spread being driven up... might as well grab and hope.

Looks like my boy Big Bear turned the game off like a lot of ppl when they were up 16 with 3:30 left in the game and never looked back.
You missed an insane hour of NBA basketball when you did that. Insta-classic.

Games often have outside influences in any sport. Tim Donaghy wrote a book about the NBA and it being fixed or not.

I wouldn't consider either team a scrub team... both got out of the first round and impressed everyone.

As fixed as any game may be the players still have to play. Miami can't win the game if they don't made a shot, so yea, anything can happen.

Yea, I'd be out 1,000 bucks.

They can't rig games every night.

I wondered why Pop had such a big grin on his face at end of 3rd with his team down big.

Smoke · 05-07-13, 08:10 AM

Watch heat and spurs get all the calls next game watch

NBA is rigged and I look at it like a market, pure and simple ... injured players and such are not a concern ... you should only look at trends and such in my opinion.

GzaTheGenius · 05-07-13, 09:31 AM

Biggest upsets in nba history?! Lol

Ji.chi · 05-07-13, 09:50 AM

Maybe a couple games here and there.

pavyracer · 05-07-13, 10:43 AM

NFL is rigged too. Because the team with the worst pre-playoffs odds to win the Superbowl actually won it.

I/O · 05-07-13, 03:12 PM

I'm always confused as to why nobody ever says MLB is fixed????

or the NHL?

but the NBA and NFL DEFINITELY are

Because most of the betting action are on football and basketball. You would be a damn fool to believe its not fixed. You gotta know which games to pick and go against the public.

EmpireMaker · 05-07-13, 04:22 PM

NBA is still fixed

knew that was coming

Yeah there's no millions bet in baseball or hockey. And there's no millions to be made. And let's forget actually it would prolly be easier to "fix" weaker lines in slower markets. On less bet sports. Organized crime decided to pass on whatever money they could easily make because the sports aren't bet as aggressively.

ChalkyDog · 05-07-13, 04:50 PM

If there are literally Millions to be made, it's rigged. That applies to everything anywhere. That's the rule, so obviously there are exceptions.

Menses · 05-07-13, 05:03 PM

When the underdog wins, this is usually an indicator that the fix is in....however...we have to make exceptions in these cases because Chicago has always been a problem for Miami, as were the pistons for Jordan's bulls....Stern would love nothing more than to have both golden state and chicago push their respective opponents to 7 games...to bolster ratings....and revenue. Coach Pop will not go along with it...he never has which is why Stern and the NBA offices despise him...he is not a company man...Gs and Chicago are for real....and play every minute....if there is an agenda....Stern likely will not even need the refs to do it......not all regular season or playoff games are rigged....
