Go to the 6 minute mark on this recording for T-Mac. http://www.sportsradio610.com/Article.asp?id=93926
Yes, I saw this on Clutch City. DWade got some pretty crazy calls. Shouldn't this be in the Houston Forum
Yeah but the finals was with Dallas. It could go in either forum. I have always liked T-Mac even though he plays for Houston now. That takes a lot of guts to say that but I'm glad he did. lol

That's bull, the Finals aren't rigged. Wade did get some calls which were for him, but so did the Mavs. This "OMG the NBA is rigged" has come up so many times and its getting ridiculous. It's sports, the heart of it is that it's not rigged!
the NBA obviously wanted Miami to win because look at all the success they had with that...but it wasnt riggedthe guards just get a lot of calls because of the touch rule put in place (which IMO should be removed) that protects guards
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>the NBA obviously wanted Miami to win because look at all the success they had with that...</div>They could have done the same with the Mavericks. Anyway, Dirk is German, they really could have done something with that. All these rigging theories never add up. They're just wild rumors with no substance.

Sort of OT: I heard a rumour thyat during Game 6, Mark Cuban went up to David Stern and shouted in his ear, "F*ck you! F*ck you! Your League is rigged". Personally, I think it is rediculous. DWade played his heart out, and the Heat just wanted it more. Dallas fans are just making up excuses for losing 4 straight.

Don't think it was rigged. Do think the referees were playing favorites though (that's not the same thing as rigged is it? :g: ), or they were just terrible calls. See, Wade hooked the refs up with some of those Latina Hotties from Miami beach, so they had to pay him back.
I stand by my first opinion about the NBA being rigged. It's hard not to believe there's nothing going on after those playoffs. At least someone said it.

I have a new found respect for Tracy McGradyT-Mac: "It looked like it war rigged""you just got fined"T-Mac: "I dont care''lmao
If anyone truely believes the NBA is rigged, then why are you still posting on the forum? Why are you a fan of the NBA?I think the stupidass handcheck rule should go away, but since it favors teams with a superstar guard/small forward (LeBron, Wade, Kobe, etc), it is exactly what Stern wants. Shy away from team basketball again, go back to teams built around a superstar winning it all.
The Lakers are just Kobe, the Heat are all DWade(Shaq is a shell of his former self), the Spurs go as TD goes(even with Manu and TonyP) and the Pistons fell off in the playoffs...the only teams that weren't basically a one man team were the Mavs and Suns, and the Suns could be considered all Nash if you really wanted it to be.
