That Game May Have Been Fixed

**cincinnatikid513** · 05-04-19, 10:19 PM

guys making 20 million plus a year plus millions in endorsements gonna risk all that for what 50k in a gym bag

**byronbb** · 05-04-19, 10:20 PM

You dont rig games by getting them to OT then missing layups

**pavyracer** · 05-04-19, 10:20 PM

If it was fixed he would have made bad passes to the other team for easy layouts on the break.

More than that

**asiagambler** · 05-04-19, 10:22 PM

Maybe not fixed but I just think Curry doesn't really care to win this year so Durant gets all the glory again.

Almost impossible for him to miss 2 layups with no one within 10 feet of him.

i dont think these guys are smart enough to fix games

**Hngkng** · 05-04-19, 10:24 PM

Brandon Lang had GS +3.5 hahahaha

**jjgold** · 05-04-19, 10:24 PM

No curry’s legs are shot he’s getting older

**The Kraken** · 05-04-19, 10:24 PM

Steph has a net worth over $100,000,000

Guarantee you he fixed that game for a cool $10,000

But he waited until OT, smart dude

**Demonata** · 05-04-19, 10:26 PM

Yeah also they knew harden would make a crazy 3 pointer for the fix... Not!

Weakest type of post one can make on this topic.

The reasoning makes no sense because the premise doesn’t lead to the conclusion.

Why bring up a 50k gym bag when you already acknowledged he got paid millions?

You don’t think millions are enough to do your job?

You think it takes a 50k gym bag to push him over the edge?

And what risk are you talking about?

The player gets paid to do a job and nobody offers a promise to, nor is anybody obligated to provide a “fair” matchup.

It’s entertainment.

See my last post and remember that if a player doesn’t do his job, they’ll find one that gladly will just for the chance at endorsements.

I agree. Seems like the NBA wanted Houston to win. Wasn't that a charge on Harden at the end?

It is called extending the series for revenue. Very simple concept.

I. Don't think it was fixed. Where did you come up with the$10000 figure? Why not $1000000

**Demonata** · 05-04-19, 10:46 PM

Yeah both teams made sure to make it or miss it when they wanted just to fix the game.. 😆

The number was arbitrary, there would would be no amount worth it to Curry to throw the game. Dude is risking his job which is $38,000,000/year before endorsements

I think he explains it in his response to me or Im misunderstanding him. He’s saying the players main incentive for not throwing a game is that if he doesn’t perform he will lose his job. I don’t disagree with him, was just making the point that there is no amount of money that a guy like Curry could be offered that would entice him to potentially risk a $38,000,000/year salary....

Refs are one thing, nba superstars are another.

Nothing worse than the New Orleans vs LA Rams game
Nothing
Ever

Agreed. That really happened huh?

**TheMoneyShot** · 05-04-19, 11:46 PM

When do you ever see Curry and Thompson not try to foul at the ending of a game? Those 2 never give up.

Clearly these players know the game plan, what to do, and when to do it.

NBA = WWE

sigh.

Why can't you guys make the simple jump?

That's not what I'm saying at all Kracken.

And again with the risking the money.

They get paid to do a job. There is no risk in doing that job. If they don't do that job someone else will, and make that money.

Why do you guys insist that there has to be some other source of money? They get paid already to do a job. They get paid millions, tens of millions. If they do it, they have nothing at risk or to lose.

Read my post above again, I can't make it any more clear yet you got it completely wrong.

sigh.

**keely85** · 05-04-19, 11:53 PM

Gordon was 50% from 3. Shump (lmao) was like 60%.

Curry shot like trash.

This won’t happen again for 3 of the next 4 games.

No, what KVB is saying is that throwing a game is in fact part of the job you are asserting he may lose. The millions of dollars in endorsements are what ensures that the player knows his role and is willing to carry it out when called upon, not the hypothetical cash in a bag.
