#38You realize that if they were in fact gonna fix a game for gambling purposes they would have bet nuggets -6 as the only outcome they could ensure without a doubt Is losing by more than the number.Comment -

#40There's no way of knowing if Denver would have covered if the Spurs fouled anyways, there was nearly 25 seconds on the clock.
Favorites have been covering the whole playoffs and there is far more money on Warrior games than Spurs games.Comment -

#41Forget about the players not being able to hear Popovich tell them to foul. These guys been playing the game for 20 years, they should know the situation. You don't need the coach to tell you to do that. This is an every day occurrence where you foul, not some special circumstance where you need advisement from a coach 40 feet away. No explanation makes sense.Comment -

#42Basically impossible for spurs players to ensure covering +6. Some ppl rather talk than give things they say any damn thought before they type it!!Comment -

#43Not that I care but obviously what happened was pathetic, I'm just saying that the end of a game 7 is very different than the end of most games,you have players with no energy on the floor .Comment -

#44This is the most fishy thing I've ever seen. Life long Spurs fan here. Next to ginobili, Mills is one of the most savvy high IQ players in the Spurs history when it comes to game management. He is constantly the one at the end of quarters to take foul to gives. Is normally the one giving fouls on fast breaks when they aren't in the penalty. He didn't have a brain fart here and I've never seen Aldridge or Gay ever make those kind of mental errors. Something here is very fishy. Never seen it before.Comment -

#45Even if the Spurs start fouling the chances of Denver covering were below 50/50 at best if you had 6 or more.Comment -

With Mills really no excuse. He's been in deep playoff runs and finals runs. Always one of the smartest players out there. That would of been his 6th foul so if he was mentally beat that's his way out. And the 6th foul is not an excuse. I've seen him intentionally give his 6th many times in clock scenarios.Comment -

#47Looks like Popovich gave up at the end too. He had one timeout left which he should have immediately used after DeRozan got the rebound.
4 pt deficit with about 4 seconds left and the ball. Odds aren't good obviously but not impossible.Comment -

#48Guess the Heat could of done that in game 6 of the 2013 finals...oh wait.

#50why is everyone arguing? it's a given fact that some outcomes are manufactured at the very end after the winner has already been established when the losing team is close enough to impact a spread but too far behind to have a shot to win
fouling down 7+ with 12 seconds left... 1 ft missed, 1 made.. down 8, final shot is an unguarded 3 at end that goes swish.
they do it both ways, sometimes to get the favorite to cover, sometimes other way around
very obvious at times too... like the pacers celtics game when the pacers fouled with 3.6 left down 6 in a spread between 7 and 8 pts and then dribbled the clock out and fired a 3 a half second too late after the buzzer while the celtics were up 8 and still guarding to the final second
you guys all say the players wouldn't do it because they make a bunch of money but all you have to do is watch the endings
you just have to hope the end to games you bet will be left alone by the refs/players or that the manufactured ending gives your bet a chance to win when it should have no chance of winning!
hacking at the end of a game in the final 25 seconds or so when you are up say 10, get a couple free throws missed and you get the chance to hit a couple basically unguarded 3's and you can lose by only 4 to 5 points.Comment -

#51Hold on, banker I understand your logic but I don’t think the consensus is players betting on games....I don’t know...as a bettor you can’t help but wonder...the foul could have made it 6 ..from there it goes either way, easy lay up to extend or a miss and a foul giving den the cover . that was a 12 pt game for 40+ mins . I just can’t accept or comprehend not foulingComment -

#52Spread aside, the Spurs have zero chance to win the game if they don't foul. If they do start the foul brigade at least they have an outside chance to win, slim as it was. Quitting makes no sense in a Game 7. At least make an effort to win - Brutal!Comment -

#56I agree with OP
I, literally got off my shift but didn't leave my restaurant with less than 3 minutes left and the spurs made it relevant.
I don't know why they didn't foul 30+ seconds left
Pops is a weird one to bet in my years of gambling is all I can say to thatComment -

#60Agreed. Before the game starts it should be addressed during practice and preparation, as the game is played it goes to strategy. At least one player should have known to foul. They would have in a regular season game without anyone telling them. Should also have been discussed in the huddle.Comment -

That's when he won titles in the NBA and Europe as well as Olympic medals.
Not sure any other basketball player has seen that type of success, ever.Comment -

#64Ok, so walk me through this
Are they betting the games themselves? Are they using Vegas books or BetIslands? Are they in on it with Vegas?
There is risk with everything, especially this.
And why make it so blatantly obvious? If you’re gonna fix a game, why do it that way?
Can you answer those questions for meComment -

#65Not that I care Poppvich isn't an ordinary coach he's used to telling his team exactly what to do, that combined with fatigue at the end of the game and team couldn't hear him explains this - no fixComment -

#67Looking at the replay, at least Forbes was aware a foul was needed. He should have just run up to Jokic and fouled him like Kobe.
At worst, Jokic throws to the open man but at least then everyone is aware.Comment -
