    Let's just assume that what you wrote is true and your tooth fillings picked up the transmission of a phone call between Stern and Jackson. Wouldn't it have been easier just to call a foul on Fisher for the run block he put on Webster? That way, the fans would feel ripped off when a huge three was taken away. And if you're going to put the L*kers in the lead with a followup bad call on Miller and then the three pointer by K*be, why would you risk putting the game in the hands of the most mentally fragile person on the Blazers' roster to win it? It seems they're taking an awfully big risk, but I guess when you're Master of the Universe, you can have a little fun.

    For the record, Spurs/L*kers in the first round would be more dramatic. K*be v. Durant in the first round would be more dramatic. No one cares about the Blazers except for our fans.

    So if Stern wanted us to be in the 8th seed and play the Lakers, why exactly did he throw the game in our favor?

    The voices in my head are saying the same thing.

    Though they tell me that Tom Petty is the one pulling the strings from his fortress of solitude in Atlantis.

    It's really just the opening moves in a conspiracy that spans generations, culminating in the human race being conquered by a race of aliens that look like giant spider monkeys.




    Or Kobe just missed two free throws because his finger is fucking broken and Fisher missed one because he is old and washed up.

    Not sure which one it could be.

    To make for more first-round drama, obviously. If the Lakers had actually won the season series against us, nobody would believe that we might have a chance to unseat them. It's all marketing.

    I am convinced that David Stern was, in fact, the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

    Kingspeed - don't lie and pretend you have a valid source. You have been reading the Lakerground forum and have pieced together the thoughts of several conspiracy posts. Your "sources" are telling you exactly what the crazies over there have been postulating. Except, none of them even claim to know the truth, they are just tossing out theories. You took those theories, pieced them together and claimed you have sources. You are lying.

    Wow.

    The "It's Monday morning and nobody is allowed to laugh" Police are out in full force.

    Geez people, lighten up.

    Besides, we all know it wasn't Stern behind the plot. This was a subtle attempt by the mob to move the betting line on the OKC game.

    You're forgetting the most important ingredient.

    The magnetic ball David Stern demanded to be put into play whenever Martell Webster is shooting free throws.

    Watch the replay. The ball boy clearly changes the ball out just before MW steps to the line.
