Clippers down by 10 with 0.9 seconds left. Total is 197.5. Foye takes shot to make it 198. PLEASE tell me that the game wasn't fixed. I am daring you. Add the fact the their were 7 foulshots taken by the Clippers in the last 4 seconds in the first half (including 2 technicals) and you have a game NO DOUBT was fixed for the OVER to cover. happens WAY to often in the NBA. A point shaving scandal is a comissioner firing or retirement away. I guarantee you.

They make too much Casper..
You're on tilt...
Maybe the refs, but not the players....Comment -
Been there how there is another Casper who cashed is over. He figures he made the right play.Comment -
Don't care who fixed it, but I guarantee you it was fixed. Oh, Foye ain't rich. NBA players spend $$ like it is water. You think he isn't still greedy for more cash? Considering we had a ref that fixed games, admitted to fixing MORE than he was indicted for (but they never charged him on those...wonder why) and HOW MANY NBA totals are off by a point or LESS!!!! This isn't coincidence.Originally posted by iifoldComment -
eExtra, someone else may have won, but when the game is FIXED, who cares? If I lose fair and square, that's one thing. When you lose because the fix is in, that negates any sense of fair play.Originally posted by Extra InningsComment -
Was the ball inbound at half court, if that's the case then them taking a shot is not unusual since NBA players do that all the time to pile on stats.
If the ball was inbound from the end of the full court line then players usually just concede to the loss. If it's inbound at the half court, they're more likely to take a shot.Comment -
If he decided not to shoot would it have been a fix for the under?Comment -
It was an 18 foot baseline jumper. Nothing unusual about it.Originally posted by frostno98Comment -
Wish I woulda bet on that oneComment -
Did you see the game? their was 0.4 seconds left in the game..lol!! All he had to do was catch the ball and hold it. He shot it with the FULL intention of covering the spread. No question about that.Originally posted by GirouxComment -
No, because when down by 10 and you get an inbounds pass with 0.4 seconds left, you don't take a shot. Just the way it goes.Originally posted by GirouxComment -
Let me guess, because you would have had the OVER? Gotcha..lol.Originally posted by tcmoody99Comment -
Lol, and there's someone constantly following you controlling your destiny...Comment -
It would be literally the most difficult process ever to have the players in on such a huge heist. There's no way that every nba player keeps his mouth shut or doesn't give the gig up at some point. You're clearly on a tilt man, to be honest I don't think the nba players are exactly smart enough to pull off something like that...not that most athletes are dumb or anything...but that would take the work of geniuses to hide such a scam in the most public of forums.Comment -
So let me understand this. There have been 3 point shaving scandals in the NCAA in the last 40 years.Originally posted by SprayBoy
I have won 5 out of my last 7 games.
Don't need 5 players to fix a game. Check free throws.
Doesn't take brains to make/miss an uncontested shot.Comment -
It is not just me. Someone tell me when Dougherty admitted to fixing MORE games, the NBA didn't investigate further? Was it because they were afraid of what would be uncovered? Did yo guys ever think that Dougherty is the Canseco of the NBA? speaks the truth, but still a scumbag? You will all see.Originally posted by dabomguy11Comment -
I dont get why people are always so eager to shoot down any questions about point shaving. It is blatantly obvious that there is point shaving in the NBA occasionally.Comment -
garbage time more about padding player stats than anything. that's where a lot of bench guys look a little bit better on paperComment -
Foye isn't a garbage time player..lol!!!!Originally posted by faceComment -
Mendoza, whomever thinks the NBA is on the up and up doesn't bet the NBA. In fact, if I ever met a sports gambler that thought the NBA wasn't fixed from time to time, I would NEVER trust their opinion. They are the same people that think strippers like them because of their personality and not their money.Originally posted by MendozaLineComment -
They were losing at home. The home crowd doesn't wanna see him just catch it and hold on. I don't think this was a fix because this happens all the time.Comment -
Um, no it doesn't.Originally posted by rem sleep
Second, their was .04 SECONDS left in the game. not 4 seconds.....0.4 seconds!! Do you REALLY think the crowd would have cared if he caught the ball and held it?Comment -
Its called gambling, wtf did you expect?Comment -
It would just show a lack of effort, if there is time to take a shot then why not try...of course you are not going to win but it looks better if you at least play until time expires.Originally posted by Casperwaits
ALSO, if it were a fix why would they want to cut it so close with money on the line?Comment -
If it's a makable shot they will take it. I loss a backdoor cover in a Nuggets/Thunder game when the Thunder losing by 17 was going to run out the clock. When Michael Westbrook decided to jack up three as both teams were walking off the court.Originally posted by CasperwaitsComment -
Interesting question, and here is your answer.Originally posted by NrmlCurvSurfr
Games that are fixed are close to the point.
Look at Donagheys fixed games.Comment -
i couldn't believe it either fixed.Comment -
Originally posted by NrmlCurvSurfrTHEY will not always take it. On the contrary, they will dribble it out.Originally posted by frostno98Comment -
When you are at the point where it is literally impossible to win, you dont need to show any effort. Why risk an injury to take a pointless shot?
Originally posted by NrmlCurvSurfrComment -
They (whoever is in on the "fix") will most likely not cut it so close, .4sec left? Do you really think all of that was planned? How did the shooter know he would even have time to get another shot off? Don't you think if the total was fixed it would not be so close? The point of a fix is to make sure you win...cutting it close would not be a successful fix in my book.Originally posted by CasperwaitsComment -
This isnt like football when you are at the end of the game kneeling the ball to save players. Its one shot, if a player is risking injury by shooting a basketball he should reconsider professional sports.Originally posted by MendozaLineComment -
I like your book.Originally posted by NrmlCurvSurfr
Can you pay me on my 197.5 UNDER please?Comment -
Good thing my connections told me Foye would hit a shot with 1 second left and the game would go over.
They told me it was going to be fixed this way so I bet the over. You just need to know the right people.Comment -
God look at what your saying here .04 seconds and someone cant shoot the ball on there home court that has no truth behind it, what if he missed it off the rim, how can u justify this. And why wait until .04 seconds left to cover why not take care of it earlier makes no sense. Did u ever think in sports the books and lines makers are good at what they do, how long have they been doing the line making, they know the games better than anyone else. How bout this is it a fix when the game ends on any line, it happens all the time? I think your just paranoid dude.Originally posted by Casperwaits
Your gonna bring up a Scumbag crook ref, well he did tell the feds stories right of this and that but did they do anything except what they caught him for, no whatever he was saying obviously had no truth if the Feds didn't detail anyone else for the garbage he was doing, come on think about it without all these accusations. If the feds find truth to all that u know people are going down, but there was no truth behind the things that loser was saying.Comment -
Plenty of truth to what he was saying (he even had documentation on Colin Cowherd show)Originally posted by Legions36
There are MANY games fixed (once again look at NCAA over the years)
Live the belief that they dont fix games. That is a narrow belief.Comment
