    Without all the refs help he wouldn't be nearly as good.

    And the sky is blue. NBA always wants a series to go 7. Why would they want less games? Doesn’t happen too often though. There’s only been one game 7 this year.

    I guess if I watched every game trying to figure from what angle it could seem rigged then it wouldn't be so much fun to watch.

    I respect your opinion but people say that about all the great players they don’t like.

    lol...blazer fans being pacer fans bitching about the officials? say it ain't so

    Pacers squeaked out a win in game 1 when OKC melted a bit in the 4th Q

    OKC returned the favor in game 4 when Indy melted a bit in the 4th Q

    OKC only shot 5 more FT's, but they were the ones attacking the paint while Indy was the team shooting 20 more three's. When was the last time a team won a playoff game, on the road, while only converting 3 three's, or less? I'd think it's been a long time

    3 game series now; advantage OKC

    Kinda weird since Thibs was his dad’s defensive coordinator in Boston. But Rivers seems like someone who wants to be a better podcaster than he was basketball player..

    I don’t think he was ever an employee for the Portland Trail Blazers. Somebody pass this along please.

    League makes money off of the broadcast contract. They make the same if it goes 7 or 4 FAMS. Right longer series build more buzz for sure, but not more cash.

    Yes. No.

    It doesn’t generate more money directly but, as you say, it generates more buzz AND more money for the network with the rights which could lead to a better contract in the future.

    They are selling a product whether to us or the networks and buzz and length-of-series is a factor in selling that product.

    With those subpar names the answer is yes but you already knew that.
