Are People actually Dumb enough to believe the NBA is Rigged?

[Eddy Munny]

I sure hope you brought more to the table than that KVB. You don't really believe that's a fresh theory do you? There are plenty of "fade the public" types that stalk these forums. Too many in fact.

That's not very "big picture" at all.

Jerry Garcia sung:





“I’ve been gambling hereabouts, for 10 good solid years.


And if I told you ‘bout all that went down, it would burn off both your little ears.”






Let’s wet your whistles with this:

And never forget, and you must acknowledge, there things we don’t know, people, if only we could make a list of those things.

I still don't take side, I offer knowledge for the esoteric.

[stevenash]

How has no one brought up this point? If the NBA is really rigged, how did we never end up with a Kobe vs. LeBron Finals? I mean damn, think about THOSE ratings! We got close one year, but never got it.

Because you don't need Kobe and Lebron.

One or the another gets you the ratings that translates into dollars.

Um... Are their sportbooks on Mars?

Is that "big picture" enough for you? I've actually stepped so far back that I've departed my home planet. Forget the forest and the trees, all I see are stars. Earth from my vantage point is a big blue mass, painted with continents and great white swirls of atmosphere. I may actually die up here if I exhaust my oxygen supply, so if you'd kindly speed things up it would be greatly appreciated.

You want to learn to build a house, yet you barely know how to chop wood.
You want to learn Calculus, but your still learning long division.

These are metaphors and remember this is a public forum.
This doesn’t just apply to you.
And take out the emotions, they will cloud your judgment.

If you're implying that sports is a form of misdirection, designed to occupy the public's attention away from more meaningful issues in life, and thus keep us imprisoned in a virtual reality.... Then that is also nothing new, at least not to me. But it wouldn't explain the need for fixed games.

I gather you really don't have anything of substance to impart, other than a handful of clichés and cryptic allusions. Well played KVB, you had me going there for a second.

Oh well... you can't win 'em all. Game Over.

Draft coincidences?

1985 - Knicks franchise in desperate need of a draw win lottery and Patrick Ewing, on the 'bent card' draft

2003 - Cleveland native (Akron) Lebron James goes to the lottery winner Cleveland Cavs

2008 - Chicago native Derrick Rose goes to the lottery winner Chicago Bulls.

2011 - James bolts Clevland, coincidence Cleveland wins lottery

2012 - Anthony Davis...........

I don't own a tin foil cap, I don't believe the driver shot JFK, I don't think 911 was an inside job, I think 99 percent of so called conspiracies are total bull shit, but the David Stern era had way too much bull shit go on, with so much circumstantial evidence not to believe to a certain extent the league is rigged where big bucks are involved, I am not talking chump change, but if there is serious corportate cash on the line, and the David Stern NBA stood to lose it, the David Stern NBA would make sure it was not lost.

Tell me where I'm wrong.

[daonlyplaya]

Speaking of fixing games, does anybody know where I can check which refs are for upcoming games? for tonight's game 6 specifically

[KVB]

Appreciated KVB. Dont know why i couldnt find this on nba.com

[akphidelt]

What's the fix for tonight?

[akphidelt]

Or do I have to wait til after the game to know?

Do you ever plan to actually say something of value? Bird in hand, worth two in the bush.

[cane]

What's the fix for tonight?

it's simple really. If the Spurs win, the fix was to get a rematch of last years finals, which were amazing and will result in huge ratings. If the thunder win, the fix was to get the series to a seventh game which will draw huge ratings. The "riggers" right now are working on two different threads, they just have to wait until after tonight's game to know which one to post. You know kinda like how there are always championship t-shirts made up for both teams in the finals, the winning team gets to wear the shirts, while the losing teams shirts are sent off to some poor third world country for the natives to wear.

Sorry bro, I could be wrong, but something tells me that if I put a bird in your hand, it’ll flap and wiggle. And instead of controlling it, you’ll let go while screaming like a little girl.

So to answer my question, no you don't plan on adding anything of value. Thanks for playin.

I've asked people for years to create a fix thread throughout the season detailing what game will be fixed and how. Never got my wish. Just tons of after game armchair refs making shit up based on results that already happened. Regardless of what happens tonight there will be a case that it was rigged, lol.

plus the fact the books call the shots not the networks

i hate to break it to ya but if u want i can give u a site i did it five straight weeks in the NFL. As a matter of fact the game Donaghy said was rigged (even tho this coksucker along with most of the other refs rigged thousands of them) was game six when Sac played the Lakers. Before the game i told everyone on the site that this game is a dead ringer to be rigged and no way they want Sac in the finals. This was the most obvious fix even a child could see. Prolly the worst one since the last Boston Lakers final when Boston was the better team but game seven LA went to the line over 20 times in the fourth quarter alone

Are you still talking about a game played 12 years ago? Lmao. You'd think you guys would have more recent evidence since the entire league is fixed.

Whatever site you came from wants you back pal.

u said nobody has ever said there would be a fix before the fact and i said i did it on more then one occasion. Heck i did it here in the mma threads with MMA. U see i believe all this bullshit sports is rigged but of course not every game is rigged. U saw what i posted about the superbowl this year at the other joint. I had 29 on Denver and two on Seattle. Those were the worst bettors on the books. Then Manning completely forgets how to play. I would stake my life on it that there is players involved, a majority of the coaches, and of course the refs. All for the same reason to bring in money for the leagues. The players i have claim to be crooks always seem to get jobs coaching or with networks. Im not saying Grant Hill is a crook but he openly said on NTV when Dick Bevata is involved in a game six u can sure bet it is going to game 7. couple of player i thought were the biggest crooks christ put on earth were Marc Jackson who is doing color now since he was fired. Jason Kidd a coach now. Dennis Johnson was a point shaver and one of the worst was Chauncey Billups. I can't understand tho , i haven't seen Billups anywhere yet with another job unless i missed him being somewhere.

[Thor4140]

Again a trillion dollar business world wide and nobody is on the take . The stock market is corrupt as it gets unless u think this is all on the up and up. Heck two douche bags got us in an bullshit war lying their asses off, just to pad a few of their buddies pocket books. I mean sending kids to die just so these coksukers could make a ton of money is about as sickening as it gets but sports are all legit?

Go through life thinking everything is on the up and up, squeaky clean.

Just stop arguing with him, he's been spouting the same shit for 19 pages and not reading what anyone else has wrote. It's sad, sick of seeing this thread at the top of the page and the same old shit being said over and over.

Perfect sentence to explain yourself. First intelligent thing you said all thread.
